Definitions
Zone
One room or a group of rooms, normally selected on the basis of usage
or that have similar heating or cooling needs.
Controlled Zone
A zone that is separately controlled by its own zone sensor and zone
damper. There are as many zone sensors in the home comfort system
as there are Controlled Zones.
Common Zone
A zone that is not separately controlled by its own sensor and zone
damper. It operates whenever heating or air conditioning is on.
Constant Zone
A predetermined zone, typically the largest and containing the return air,
is designated the Constant Zone and functions as a Common Zone
only during refrigerated cooling mode to ensure the minimum cooling
airflow requirements are met. The system minimum cooling airflow is
designated as 75% of the maximum system cooling airflowsetting.
Multi Temperature Set Point (MTSP) ZonePlus System
The zone temperature set point can be set independently across all
Networkers and/or Temperature Sensors.
Single Temperature Set Point (STSP) ZonePlus System
The zone temperature set point is the same across all Networkers and/or
Temperature Sensors.
Fan Scaling
Brivis ZonePlus allows the system fan speed for each zone to
be individually set. HEATING and COOLING fan speeds can
both be set in the range of 1 – 16 (Min – Max).
Brivis NC-6 Networker Controller
Primary user interface with LCD display. Where multiple NC-6s are
installed, the “Master” Networker Controller can be identified by the
word “Clock” displayed adjacent to Key “5” when system is OFF. The
Master has default sensor identification “n01”.
Brivis NT-1 Remote Temperature Sensor
Zone temperature sensor with LED that blinks during communication
with Master NC-6. Default NT-1 sensor identification is “n02”.
Additional NC-6 Networkers can be used in place of up to 3x NT-1
sensors.
Sensor
Both the NC-6 and NT-1 function as zone (room) temperature sensors
– in this context, the word “sensor” in this manual can apply to both.
Adaptive Zoning (non-ZonePlus Control System)
One Brivis Networker Controller with zones, the ON and OFF times of
which are controlled by the Networker.
The minimum and maximum HEATING fan speeds are set during
commissioning and this range is divided into equal segments depending
upon the number of zones. Only maximum REFRIGERATED
COOLING fan speed can be set and isfixed during operation.
Adaptive Zoning is not covered in this manual. Please refer to the
Brivis StarPro Heater Installer Manual for more information.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Brivis ZonePlus brings the possibility of total comfort control to occupants
by providing the precise amount of heating or cooling into each space, or
zone, within a home.
A zoning system is a heating and/or cooling control system that
maintains each zone at a predetermined temperature set point.
ZonePlus can control up to four independent zones.
Brivis ZonePlus design objectives are to:
•direct conditioned air based on the individual needs of each zone
•keep the sound produced by the system low enough that occupants
do not find it objectionable
•seamlessly interface with and protect the Brivis heating and cooling
climate system
•maintain the minimum airflow necessary to keep the heating and
cooling equipment running efficiently
2.0 ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM
It’s important to keep in mind what a zoned system can and cannot do.
A zone control system is only part of a complete heating and cooling
system. A properly selected heating and/or cooling system has a
defined heating and cooling capacity, so it is important to specify the
system’s capabilities. In particular, how many zones can be operated
individually or simultaneously in both heating or cooling modes at specific
design conditions.
When designing a zoned home comfort system, there are two
primary considerations, dependent on the needs and
requirements of the home owners.
1. system designed primarily for energy savings – used
primarily to shut off unoccupied zones
2. system designed primarily for comfort – used primarily to
control temperatures in diverse zones
Both applications can be either Multi Temperature Set Point or
Single Temperature Set Point.
Note:
ZonePlus systems should only be installed by
authorised Brivis Dealers who have successfully completed
the Brivis ZonePlus Training Module.
Note:
All system configuration and parameter settings shall be
recorded in the Appendix (Table 7 & Table 8) of this manual
and retained by home owner for future reference.

•Multi-Temperature Set Point systems can have up to four
controlled zones where each zone has independent
temperature set points. We do not recommend the use of a
Common Zone in these applications
•Single Temperature Set Point systems can have up to four
controlled zones where each zone has the same temperature
set point. An optional Common Zone is recommended for this
type of application
A zoning system reduces the effective size of the air
distribution system as dampers open and close to meet the
needs of the zones. The aim is to ensure that the distribution
system does not become so small that the reduction in airflow
causes one or more of the following problems:
•excessive air, noise or drafts
•the equipment shuts down because predetermined limits are
exceeded
•the life of the equipment is reduced through stress-related excess
temperatures or cycling
3.0 DESIGNING THE COMFORT SYSTEM
Objective: to maintain a minimum airflow through the system when only
one zone requires conditioning, yet still provide sufficient airflow when all
design zones require conditioning, for both heating and cooling modes.
Multi Temperature Set Point - Design Framework:
•Each zone has independent temperature set points
•In Heating mode there is no requirement for a Constant Zone
•In Refrigerated Cooling mode we recommend you nominate your
largest zone as the Constant Zone (typically default value Zone A -
“ID93:1”) to satisfy the system’s minimum air quantity requirement.
Usually this is the zone which incorporates the return air grille
•A Common Zone is not recommended as MTSP ZonePlus offers
optimum independent zone temperature control
Single Temperature Set Point - Design Framework:
•Each zone has the same temperature set point
•The design guidelines allow for the inclusion of a Common Zone
Step by step tasks:
1. Assign Zones
a. Determine, in consultation with the homeowner, whether the system
is to be designed primarily for comfort or energy savings
b. Assign the zones and determine how many zones are to operate
simultaneously, for both heating and cooling modes
c. Determine whether the system is to be Single Temperature Set Point
or Multi Temperature Set point
d. Complete the Home Owner Comfort Schedule (in the ZonePlus
Owner’s Manual) to ensure that the installed system will meet the
home owner requirements
2. Size the equipment
a. Determine Design Conditions; i.e. Indoor Control Temperatures at
Ambient Design Temperatures
b. Calculate peak heating and cooling load estimates for each zone (e.g.
Brivis SuperSizeGuide)
c. Calculate cooling BLOCK LOAD (maximum simultaneous load)
d. Satisfy both kW and AIRFLOW capacity requirements for both
heating and cooling modes

6
3. Ductwork & Fittings
Size ductwork and fittings in accordance with good industry
practice; e.g. Australian Standard HB276 which prescribes
ductwork and diffusion equipment selection parameters. Do
not undersize ductwork and fittings. Ensure recommended
system minimum airflow requirements are met for both heating
and cooling modes.
4.0 GENERAL INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
•The system design requirements would have been determined in
consultation with the home owner to correctly specify the
configuration and capabilities of the ZonePlus comfort control system
•Ensure all power to all equipment and controls are off prior to
connecting
•Ensure that all electrical connections are tight and secure. Install in
accordance with these instructions and your local laws, regulations
and standards
•Use only twin-core, ‘figure 8’ – 0.75mm² cable for 2-wire bus
communications with less than 100m in total length
•Ensure that the 2-wire bus cable is routed in a protected and safe
manner, away from mains power cabling
•For additional product information refer to the Brivis product’s specific
Installer Manual
Varying Brivis StarPro heaters have different on-board
capabilities. See Table 2 for details of zone combinations
and accessory requirements.

5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 Locating Sensors
For proper operation, each sensor must accurately monitor the
temperature within its zone.
Guidelines:
Sensor should be mounted:
•Approximately 1.5m above floor level (ensure hole into wall cavity is
properly sealed)
•Closeto the centre of the zone on an internal wall
•On a section of wall that does not contain pipes, electrical wires,
antenna cables or ductwork
Sensor should NOT be mounted:
•Where it is exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources which
may cause a false reading
•Near or in the path of supply air outlets or return air grilles
•On outside walls, near windows or doors leading to outside
•In areas with poor air circulation such as recesses or behind doors
5.2 NC-6 and NT-1 Interconnecting Wiring

5.7 Heater Thermistor Installation
•For Brivis StarPro Heating only applications the heater
thermistor must be installed in accordance with the
instructions for the heater
•For Dual Comfort systems (Brivis StarPro Heating and
Brivis ICE Add-On applications), the heater thermistor must
be installed in the discharge pop (outlet) of the cooling
coil. Refer to the associated Brivis ICE Installer Manual for
details
•Amongst other primary functions, this thermistor also
provides Low Temperature Limit protection. If the cooling
coil temperature remains at or below 7oC for 3 minutes, the
compressor will cycle off for a minimum of 5 minutes, and
until the cooling coil temperature reaches 10oC
•During this off cycle time the indoor fan will continue to run
•If this condition persists, confirm the system design and/or
operation is able to maintain the minimum recommended
cooling airflow requirements
5.8 Brivis Evaporative Cooling
Operating a Brivis evaporative cooler and a Brivis heater
requires the two left terminals (TW1 & TW2) connected to the
heater and the two right terminals connected to the cooler.
•Zoning is not available during Evaporative Cooling mode
•The Master Controller, or any other ZonePlus NC-6, where
fitted, will operate a Brivis Evaporative cooler with all normal
features and functionality
5.9 Zone Dampers
24 Volt Drive Open / Drive Closed zone dampers are to be
field supplied by installer.
Note:
Zone dampers must be insulated in accordance with

Setting Sensor Identification on an NC-6 when
used as a Slave (refer Table 4. example)
•Determine which NC-6 Controller will be the Master and
which one will be the Slave
•Mount the proposed NC-6 Slave onto the backing plate of
the NC-6 that has power supplied directly from the heater
control board
•Change the NC-6 Slave identification number to “3” by
accessing Installer Parameters (see 6.3, p.14)
•Fit the NC-6 Slave to its designated zone backing plate only
after the unit ID has been changed
•Mount the Master Controller onto its backing plate – this will
not require a unit ID change
•Once an NC-6 has been designated a ‘Slave’, Installer
Parameters will no longer be accessible from this NC-6.
The Master Controller must then be used to access the
installer parameters
6.2.2 ZonePlus with all NC-6 Controllers
All NC-6 controllers that are used in place of NT-1 sensors
must have their sensor ID altered so that it operates as a slave.

Set and record all Master Controller Parameters in Table 8
in the Appendix.
6.4.1 Single or Multi Temperature Set Point
The default ZonePlus configuration setting is Single
Temperature Set Point. To activate Multi Temperature Set
Point, parameter “n01 ID92” must be changed from the factory
default setting of “0” to “1”.
Note:
When Refrigerated Cooling is installed, the zone
sensor IDs are forced to match those used for Heating. For
example if Heating Zone B sensor ID was set to “n02”, then
Refrigerated Cooling Zone B sensor ID would also be set to
“n02”.

15
6.4.2 Common Zone
The default ZonePlus setting of Single Temperature Set
Point also includes an enabled Common Zone for both
Heating and Cooling. The Common Zone and one other zone
must share a common temperature sensor. The default is set
to Zone A (Master Control - sensor ID “n01”).
The Common Zone parameter settings are:
Heating: “n01 ID15:1” and “n01 ID16:1”
Cooling: “n01 ID01:1” and “n01 ID02:1” (if cooling is fitted)
These do not need to be adjusted.
When Multi Temperature Set Point is enabled (“n01 ID92 :“1”)
these Common Zone parameters are disabled.
6.4.3 Refrigerated Cooling Constant Zone
A Constant Zone is required to maintain minimum refrigerated
cooling airflow in MTSP systems. The parameter “n01 ID93:1”
assigns Zone A by default.
To alter the nominated Constant Zone from the default, set “2”
for Zone B, “3” for Zone C, or “4” for Zone D.
Assigning “0” will disable the Constant Zone. This should be
done when the system operates only in circumstances where
the minimum cooling airflow requirements are met in all
possible zoning configurations.
The Constant Zone is not active during Heating mode.
6.4.4 Zone Configuration
To enable zoning, Heating Installer Parameter “H01 ID07:0”
must change to either “1”, “2”, or “5”.
Set “H01 ID07:x” where x = the Parameter Value for your
system from Table 2, p.6.
All zone parameters must be entered into the Master Controller
in a sequential order; i.e. the parameters for Zone B cannot be
accessed until Zone A parameters have been set.
Deleting zone parameters must be conducted in the reverse
order to entering; i.e. Zone D and its zone relay must be
deleted before Zone C can be deleted.
The zoning Installer Parameters to consider can be accessed
via the Master Controller, under unit “ID n01”.
These include:
For Refrigerated Cooling (if applicable)
The NC-6 Master Controller is preset for Common Zone
(Cooling) operation, i.e. “n01 ID01:1”
For Heating
The NC-6 Master Controller is preset for Common Zone
(Heating) operation, i.e. “n01 ID15:1

Parameters in the Appendix.
Example: Setting up Zone A – Dual Comfort
1. Access the Installer Parameters (6.3, p.14)
2. Push the Mode Key until “n01” is displayed on the
Master Controller interface, top left hand corner
3. Press Key “1” and scroll to parameter “ID03”. This
parameter value allows you to enable Zone A for
Refrigerated Cooling
4. Rotate the dial and change the parameter value from “0”
to “1” to enable Zone A
5. Press Key “1”, rotate the dial and scroll to parameter
ID04. This parameter value nominates the relay that will
supply power to the zone motor
6. Rotate the dial to either relay number that is driving the
associated zone damper motor, either 1, 2, 3, or 4 for a
four zone system
7. Press Key “1” and scroll to parameter ID05. This value
allows you to select the associated zone’s sensor ID
8. Rotate the dial to select the correct sensor for the zone,
either “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” for a four zone system
9. To setup Zone B for Refrigerated Cooling conduct the
above steps for ID06, ID07 and ID08
10. Once all zoning parameter changes are complete press
the On/Off button to save and exit
The process in the above example also applies to setting up
the zones for Heating. Please refer to the parameter numbers
in this section for Heating and Refrigerated Cooling or Table 8,
which is where all Parameter values should be recorded.
6.4.5 Airflow Setting and Balancing
Fan Scaling
Fan scaling customises the required heating or cooling airflow
for individual zones. Fan speed settings range from 1 – 16
(Min – Max) for each zone.
Airflows should be set in accordance with design conditions;
care should be taken not to cause drafts or noise concerns.
We recommend balancing dampers be fitted in the ducting
system (e.g. at supply air outlet, at the branch take-off, or via
an in-line ductwork damper) for final airflow adjustments.

6.4.6 Fan Scaling - HEATING
•The procedure for either Single Temperature Set Point
(STSP) or Multi Temperature Set Point (MTSP) systems is
the same.
•Ensure all balancing dampers for all outlets are fully open
•Change “n01 ID:105” default setting from “0” to “1” to enable
Fan Scaling
•Set the fan speed (1 – 16) for each zone
•“n01 ID:106” = Common Zone (STSP systems only*)
•“n01 ID:107” = Zone A
•“n01 ID:108” = Zone B
•“n01 ID:109” = Zone C
•“n01 ID:110” = Zone D
•Once “n01 ID:xxx” appears, the fan will automatically start
•Rotate the dial on the NC-6 to set the initial desired airflow for
the zone
•To ensure that each supply outlet within the zone receives its
correct proportion of the total airflow for that zone, check each
outlet and balance accordingly – note that this may require
refinement of the initial zone fan speed setting
•Adjust the intital fan speed setting for the zone if required
•Set all remaining zone Heating fan speeds in similar fashion
•Press ON/OFF to exit
* For MTSP sytems, the Common Zone Fan Scaling set up will
not be available, see 6.4.1, p.14
Record all system configuration and parameter settings in
the Appendix.
6.4.7 Fan Scaling - Refrigerated COOLING
•The procedure for either STSP or MTSP systems is the same.
•Ensure all balancing dampers for all outlets are fully open
•Any single zone, or single zone with Common Zone must be
capable of handling at least 75% of the maximum nominal
Cooling airflow
•Change “n01 ID:111” default setting from “0” to “1” to enable
Fan Scaling
•Set the fan speed (1 – 16) for each zone
•“n01 ID:112” = Common Zone (STSP systems only*)
•“n01 ID:113” = Zone A
•“n01 ID:114” = Zone B
•“n01 ID:115” = Zone C
•“n01 ID:116” = Zone D
•Once “n01 ID:xxx” appears, the fan will automatically start
•Rotate the dial on the NC-6 to set the initial desired airflow for
the zone
•To ensure that each supply outlet within the zone receives its
correct proportion of the total airflow for that zone, check each
outlet and balance accordingly – note that this may require
refinement of the initial zone fan speed setting
