SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this entire installation manual before beginning installation of the Aprilaire 6000 Series Zone Control System. For questions call Aprilaire
customer support at [phone] or visit AprilairePartners.com.
WARNING
1. 120 volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Leave power disconnected until installation is complete.
2. The system is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose any of the components to moisture.
WARNING
1. Turn o the system power before removing or installing any wires into the terminals of any component of the system. Wiring with a live
circuit can lead to electrical shorts that can damage components.
2. Installation must be done in accordance with all applicable codes.
3. Installer should touch a grounded metal object before handling the components of the system. This will prevent any static discharge that
may cause damage.
4. A 6000 Series Zone Control System may not control temperature properly unless the heating and cooling system is properly sized and
balanced.
5. Insucient air flow or excessive temperatures through the heating and cooling system could result in equipment damage. Refer to the
manufacturer’s recommendations for minimum safe airflow and temperature requirements.
6. Do not mount the 6000 Series Control or Sensors on any exterior wall or equipment supply ductwork.
7. Do not install the system components where temperatures exceed 158°F (70°C) or are below 32°F (0°C), non-condensing.
8. Improper system installation could cause water damage from frozen pipes. Check system operation after installation.

interior wall, stud or return duct. See FIGURE 2.
2. Locate the Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) in the supply trunk,
downstream of the heat exchanger and cooling coils, and before
the zone dampers (refer to the shaded areas of FIGURE 2).
Note: Do not mount the sensor in direct line-of-sight of the heat
exchanger, cooling coils or UV lights as this may cause the sensor
to report false temperature readings. Do not route wires along
120VAC lines.
3. Before wiring the sensor to the 6000 Series Hub, measure
the resistance across the sensor. The resistance corresponds
(approximately) to the sensed temperature according to TABLE 1.
TABLE 1 – DAT SENSOR RESISTANCE
Temperature (°F) 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
Resistance (k )34.6 26.1 19.9 15.3 11.9 9.4 7.4 5.9
MOUNTING
1. Separate the 6000 Series Hub cover from the base. See FIGURE 3.
2. Use the base as a template to drill mounting holes. See FIGURE 4 for mounting hole locations.
3. Attach the base to an interior wall, stud or return duct.

6000 SERIES HUB WIRING
WARNING
120 volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Sudden
operation may cause serious injury from moving parts. Leave
power disconnected until installation is complete.
Follow these steps for all system connections. Wiring will vary
depending on equipment. Wiring of the system must comply with
applicable codes, ordinances and regulations.
• Use only 18 or 20 gauge solid (non-stranded) wire.
• Strip off 7/16" of insulation from the wire.
• Push wire into the terminal of the 6000 Series Hub.
• To release the wire, press down on the top of the terminal and pull
the wire out.
• The 6000 Series Hub supports multiple options to route and anchor
wires to the housing. See FIGURE 5.
WIRE TIE MOUNTS
FIGURE 5 – WIRE TIE MOUNTS

TRANSFORMER
Note: The HVAC equipment transformer cannot be used for power. A
separate transformer should be used to power the system.
1. Wire 24VAC from transformer to the POWER, R and C terminals (see
FIGURE 6).
2. Sizing of transformer to accommodate the number of dampers:
a. Select your damper type.
OPTION 1: Normally Open/Power Close Dampers (2-Wire)
i. Add up all the zone dampers that are in the system.
ii. Subtract the number of dampers in the zone with the least number of dampers. This is the greatest number of dampers that could be
energized at one time.
iii. Multiply this number by 10 to determine the damper VA requirement. Add an additional 10VA for the 6000 Series System.
Example: If you have a 3-zone system, and there are two dampers per zone, then the total number of dampers that could be energized at
one time is,
6 dampers – 2 dampers = 4 dampers
4 dampers x 10VA per damper + 10VA for 6000 Series System = 50VA required
OPTION 2: Power Open/Power Close Dampers (3-Wire)
i. Add up all the zone dampers that are in the system.
ii. Multiply this number by 2.5 to determine the transformer size. Add an additional 10VA for the 6000 Series System.
Example: If you have a 3-zone system, and there are two dampers per zone, then the total number of dampers that could be energized at
one time is,
6 dampers x 2.5VA per damper + 10VA for 6000 Series System = 25VA required
b. Select a transformer that meets or exceeds the value calculated.

DAMPER
• Run 2-conductor thermostat wire for spring
return dampers (normally open or normally
closed).
• Run 3-conductor thermostat wire for power
open/power close dampers.
• Multiple dampers for the same zone can be
wired in parallel as shown in FIGURES 7 & 8.
• Wire the dampers to the 6000 Series Hub:
NC – This terminal is used to power open
a normally closed damper. For power open
and power close dampers this terminal is
used to power open the damper.
NO – This terminal is used to power close a
normally open damper. For power open and
power close dampers this terminal is used to
power close the damper.
COM – This terminal provides a common
connection for the NC and NO terminals.
• If multiple transformers will be required,
wire them in parallel as shown. Before
wiring the transformers together, ensure
that they are connected in phase by
observing polarity marks or terminal
orientation on each transformer. See

INSTALLER SETUP
6000 SERIES CONTROL
The 6000 Series Hub is powered by 24VAC. The 6000 Series Control is powered by the 6000 Series Hub. In the case of power loss, the system will
maintain the clock for 24 hours. The system has a memory backup that saves the system settings in case of power interruption. The factory reset is
located in the Installer Tools option of the Installer Menu. See Installer System Settings section for details.
INSTALLER SETUP MENU
The first time the system is powered up (or after
a factory reset) it will enter the Installer Setup
Menu. All installer settings can be set here. The
installer settings are also accessible in the MENU
by pressing the Contractor Info button for 10
seconds. Installer settings can be imported and
exported via USB drive. This feature can be
found by selecting the Installer Tools button on
the Installer Settings Menu Screen.
