Aurora UPC ZS Zone Sensors User Guide
ZS Sensors are thermistor-based temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity, CO2, or VOC. ZS
Sensors communicate with the HVAC system through the Rnet.
A ZS Sensor's functionality is determined by:
•The sensor model
•The sensor's sensing capabilities (temperature, humidity, CO2, VOC)
•The control program that runs the associated equipment
See the referenced page below to learn what you can see and do with each of the ZS sensor models:
ZS Standard (page 2)
ZS Plus (page 3)
ZS Pro (page 5)
ZS Pro-F (page 10)

A ZS Plus lets you:
•Make the zone warmer or cooler
•Override the schedule to put the zone in an occupied
state
•Force the zone to an unoccupied state
•See that the zone is in an occupied state when the green
LED is lit
!
To make the zone warmer or cooler
Slide the sensor's potentiometer up to make the zone warmer or down to make it cooler. The control program
determines how much you can adjust the setpoint.
!
To override the schedule
Timed override to an occupied state
Press the button one time to override the schedule and put the zone in an occupied state for a length of time
specified in the control program's Maximum Duration field.
Press the button again to cancel the override and return control to the schedule.

Force to an unoccupied state
If allowed by the control program, press and hold the button for 3 seconds to force the zone to an unoccupied
state.
Press the button again to cancel the force to unoccupied and return control to the schedule.

A ZS Pro lets you:
•View information in the display such as zone
temperature, setpoints, outside air temperature, and
equipment status
•Make the zone warmer or cooler
•Override the schedule to put the zone in an occupied
state
•Edit information if allowed by the control program
•Force the zone to an unoccupied state
•See that the zone is in an occupied state when the green
LED is lit
!
Navigating the sensor's screens
The control program determines what screens you see, what information is in each screen, and what you can
adjust. The type of sensor also determines what you see. For example, if the sensor reads temperature, humidity,
and CO2, the Home screen may cycle through the current values.
This screen...
Displays when...
Home
The sensor has had no user interaction for 5 seconds.
Setpoint adjustment
You press the or button. See To make the zone warmer or cooler
(page 7).
Information
You press the button. Tap the button to cycle through various
information.
Diagnostic
You hold the button for 3 seconds. Tap the button to cycle through
various information to troubleshoot your system.

Reading the display
Depending on the control program and the type of sensor, you may see any of the following items in the sensor's
screens.
This
item...
Indicates...
or
The temperature is Fahrenheit or Celsius.
The value shown is percent relative humidity.
The value shown is outside air temperature or humidity.
Cooling
Heating
The zone's fan is running.
The fan speed. See To manually adjust the fan speed (page 10).
The value(s) in the display, typically setpoints, are editable using the and
buttons. If the control program specifies that the value is not editable, you will see
without arrows.
See:
To make the zone warmer or cooler (page 7)
To edit displayed values (page 8)
The sensor is in a timed override. See To override the schedule (page 7).
The equipment is running in an energy-saving mode defined in the control program.
An alarm condition exists. If programmed, the Information screen or Diagnostic
Screen may provide details on the alarm.
A maintenance condition exists. If programmed, the Information screen or
Diagnostic Screen may provide details on the maintenance condition.
The sensor's buttons are locked either because the control program specifies it or
because a user locked them at the sensor. See To lock the sensor buttons (page
8).
OCC
The displayed setpoint is an occupied setpoint.
UnOCC
The displayed setpoint is an unoccupied setpoint.
CO2
The value shown is CO2.
UOC
The value shown is VOC.
EFF
The value shown is the effective setpoint.
A number in
the bottom
left corner
A value in the control program that does not have an associated icon. For example,
304 represents the supply air temperature. See Appendix: Rnet tag numbers (page
11) for a list of all numbers and the values they represent.
