Your zoning system is simple to operate and requires no maintenance.

The system will allow you to increase your comfort by directing conditioned air to separate areas (zones)

based upon each zone's thermostat setting. It provides the opportunity to conserve energy by adjusting the

thermostat setting in unoccupied areas to energy saving levels.

To operate the system, just set or program each zone's thermostat to your desired comfort and/or set-

back settings. When there is a call for heating or cooling from any zone, the appropriate heating or cooling

equipment will be turned on. The dampers in zones not requiring heating or cooling will close and the

conditioned air will be directed to the calling zone(s) until the thermostat is satisfied.

When there is not an active call for heating or cooling, you may circulate air in individual zones by selecting

the “Fan ON” function on each individual thermostat. The dampers in zones with the fan set to “Auto” will

close.

Please feel free to learn more about the installation and operation of the Arzel MPS Series by reviewing

this entire manual. Consult your installing contractor with any questions regarding system operation. If

questions are still unresolved, you may call Arzel’s Technical support for homeowners from 8 AM - 5 PM

EST from Monday-Friday. Please have your system serial number available when you call. Your installing

contractor can reach Arzel Technical support Monday-Friday 8 AM - 9 PM EST. The Arzel Technical

support phone number is 1-800-611-8312.

Warranty Registration

Operating your new zoning system

1. Disconnect the power supply to the HVAC system and the zoning system before making any

wiring connections to prevent the danger of electrical shock or equipment damage.

2. Be sure the HVAC manufacturer’s operating specifications are compatible with the Arzel zoning

system.

3. All wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.

4. Use properly grounded tools, safety glasses and gloves when drilling or cutting sheet-metal ducts,

fiberglass or any hard objects.

1. The Arzel system is designed for indoor use only.

2. You must touch a grounded metal object before handling the control panel to avoid potential loss of

internal programs due to electrostatic discharge.

3. Install in ambient temperature between 40oF and 140oF in a non-condensing area.

4. Check all system operations after installation is complete.

5. The damper blade gently wipes the inside of the ductwork. Insert a sleeve inside any berglass, or

abraidable ductwork, so the blade does not abrade the materials into the air.

6. Leave these instructions with the installed system for future use.

7. There are both AC and DC terminals on the circuit board. Do not intermingle wires.

GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION:

When all thermostats are satisfied, the air pump, the HVAC equipment, and the solenoid air valves

are de-energized. Dampers will remain in whatever position they were in when the last thermostat

call was finished. Leaving the dampers open in the last zone served allows the HVAC system to utilize

the residual energy in the system at the end of both the heating and cooling cycles.

The Manual Pump Switch (MPS™) is provided to run the pump continuously. Turning the MPS switch

to ON manually makes the pump relay and the pump starts, driving all dampers open. This creates a

failsafe. If the board fails the dampers can be easily opened and the system run from one thermostat.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Read these instructions carefully.

Failure to follow them could damage the Arzel® Zoning System

and/or cause a hazardous condition.

WARNING

CAUTION

THERMOSTATS

The 200 Series™ Arzel®Zone Control™ is compatible with any standard 24VAC thermostat: Wireless,

Auto/Manual changeover, Programmable/Non-programmable, Heat/Cool or Fan/Auto/On sub-base

switching. If the thermostat has an adjustable heating anticipator (mechanical thermostats), set it to the

shortest or lowest setting.

Heat pump thermostats are required for heat pump operation.Set up the thermostat to call Y, G in

heating. Y,G,O in cooling. Regardless of equipment type, if your equipment energizes the reversing valve

in Heating mode utilize the "B" terminal on the HVAC outputs. See page 6 for wiring diagram.

LEAVING AIR TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

The 200 Series™ does not monitor the temperature of the air in the ductwork. If positive control is

desired, additional temperature controls must be installed.

1. Install Dampers/Run Tubing

Dampers install directly into new or existing ductwork. Orient the tube connection port so it is pointing upstream

(toward the equipment). Install one main tubing run for each zone. Use connection “T’s” for multiple dampers

in a zone. Arzel recommends using a different color tube for each zone. Note: Dampers should not be

concealed behind a permanent barrier such as drywall without an access panel.

2. Mount Control Panel

The control panel must be mounted vertically on an exterior wall to reduce noise. The wall must also be located

in a non-condensing area where temperatures will not normally exceed 140° F. DO NOT MOUNT PANEL ON

DUCTWORK, HVAC EQUIPMENT, STAIRWELL, or BEDROOM WALLS. The best method is to attach a

piece of ¾ plywood to an exterior stud wall or foundation. Hold the panel level on the wall and mark the positions

of the upper mounting holes. Drive two screws into the wall leaving the heads at least ½” out. Set the panel over

the screws. Drive two screws into the lower mounting holes. Tighten the upper screws. Note: Prior to making

electrical connections, touch a mechanical ground to discharge static electricity.

3. Connect Thermostats

Install a thermostat for each zone observing the terminal designations. Use 18 gauge, multi-conductor, solid

thermostat wire to connect the thermostats to the control panel. When using a heat pump thermostat “O”

must be set to energize for cooling calls. Document the location of each thermostat connected to each zone

on the “Zone Layout” label on the side of the panel.

4. Connect Equipment

Use 18 gauge, multi-conductor, solid thermostat wire to connect the HVAC outputs located along the top of

the zone control panel to the HVAC equipment. The “C” terminal are for connection between the furnace/air

handler transformer and the common circuit of the heat pump/air conditioner controls.

5. Connect Transformer

Use 18 gauge, 2-conductor solid wire to connect the R and C power input terminals to the mounting screws on

the 40VAC self-resetting, plug-in transformer supplied with the Arzel Zoning System. Plug in the transformer

to any standard 120VAC receptacle. Note: The provided transformer has an auto-resetting internal

overload to protect against low voltage shorts. Additional surge protection may be required. The Use of

transformers not approved by Arzel may void warranty coverage.

HVAC system equipment power switch must always be in the “OFF” position when connecting wires

to any terminals

2 24VAC

Terminals

The Arzel®40 VA transformer (provided) must be connected to these two terminals.

3 HVAC

Output

Terminals

Output to the HVAC equipment is controlled by a set of Dry-Contact Relays. The HVAC “R” signal

is turned around and sent out to start the appropriate equipment when called by the Zone Control.

The HVAC Output circuit is therefore completely isolated from the Zone Control and thermostat

power supply.

Connect hot or + side of HVAC equipment transformer (24 VAC) to this

terminal.

Connect to W1 of furnace. (Aux. heat terminal if heat pump is installed.)

Connect to compressor contactor.

Connect to equipment fan relay.

Connect either “O” or “B” to heat pump reversing valve, as required by

heat pump manufacturer. Use the “O” signal if the unit reverses in the

cooling cycle; the “B” if it reverses in the heating cycle.

Connect common side of HVAC equipment transformer (24 VAC) to this

terminal.

Emergency Heat Changeover terminals (2.9-3.3VDC) “Remote ODT” are used with an outdoor

thermostat to run the emergency heat for dual fuel applications. Do not connect “W” from the zone

thermostats to the Arzel MPS board if using the MPS in a duel fuel application. Set thermostats as

“Heat Pump without Aux” so that only Y-G are energized on a call for heating.

10 Pump LED LED [PMP (Red)] light is ON anytime the pump is running.

11 Compressor

Lock-out LED

Any time the zoning system turns the compressor off, it holds it off for four(4) minutes. This pre-

vents short cycling the compressor.

12 TDO

Time Delay

Override

This momentary contact, Time Delay Override switch (TDO), is provided on the PC board to

speed the checkout of the zoning system. Before using this TDO switch, you must disconnect

the HVAC “R” wire in order to avoid short cycling the equipment. AComp. Lockout LED light will

indicate 4 minute compressor lockout condition. [Comp Lockout(Red)]

13 System Status

ment that the zoning system is controlling.

16 Solenoid

Terminals and

Pump Termi-

nals

Factory connection for the Zone Solenoids (24VDC) . Solenoids are energized to provide pres-

sure to close the dampers and de-energized to provide vacuum to open the dampers.

Factory connections for the pressure/vacuum pump.(24VAC) The pump operates only when a

thermostat calls for a Heat/Cool or Fan operation or when the MPS switch is in the ON position.

17 MPS Switch MPS™ switch starts pump and opens all zone dampers when Power Switch is OFF.

6Emer. HT.

Switch

Emergency Heat Changeover switch, is used to manually bypass the heat pump and energize the

auxiliary heat on a call for service (heat pump application only.)

7 Fan-on-Heat

Switch

This switch in the “ON” position will provide automatic fan operation on a call for heating, for elec-

tric furnaces, hot water coils, steam coils, etc.

8 S1,S2,S3 So-

lenoid LEDs

These LEDs indicate which zones are being served and are opening their dampers.

[S1,S2,S3(Red)]

9 Fault Code

LEDs

F1,F2,F3

The 3 Fault Code LEDs illuminate when a themostat sends an illegal call. A call is illegal if it

is improper for the type of HVAC equipment installed. LED will stay lit until the power switch is

cycled.

F1 = illegal call on zone 1.

F2 = illegal call on zone 2.

F3 = illegal call on zone 3.

Illegal calls are ignored. The system will continue to operate normally, serving any legal calls. Il-

legal calls may indicate a thermostat or wiring fault in the affected zone.

FAN CHECK-OUT

1. Set all thermostats to the OFF position and all fan switches to AUTO.

2. Turn the HVAC system and the Arzel®system PWR switches to ON. The LED light next to the switch will

illuminate.

3. Turn the Zone 1 thermostat fan switch ON. The S1 indicator, the Fan output (G) and Pump LED lights will

illuminate. The fan in the HVAC system will turn on. The pressure and vacuum pump will position all the

dampers. Check the air ow at all register outlets to determine that only Zone 1 dampers are open and all

other dampers are closed.

4. Follow the above procedure for all other zones

HEATING & COOLING CHECK-OUT

1. Set all thermostats to the OFF position and all fan switches to AUTO before starting heating system check

out.

2. Set Zone 1 thermostat to the HEAT position and turn thermostat up so that the thermostat is calling for

heat. The S1 indicator, the W output, and the pump LED lights will illuminate. The pressure/vacuum pump

will position all the dampers. Check to see that the heating circuit is energized. If heat pump is installed,

check operation of Emergency Back-up heating. Turn the thermostat down until the thermostat is satised.

The LED lights will go out and the pump will stop. Dampers will remain open in the last zone that called.

For heat pump, LED indication will be Y & G.

3. Set thermostat for Zone 1 to the COOL position. Turn thermostat down so that the thermostat is calling

for cooling. The S1 indicator, the Y and G output and the pump LED will illuminate. The pressure/vacuum
