7.0 Zoning (where installed)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Your specialist Brivis Dealer may have divided your home into a
maximum of four controlled zones that can be operated and controlled
separately. The exact configuration of your system will determine the
programming features that are enabled, as well as the number of
zones that can be heated (or cooled) simultaneously. Your system
may be operated manually, or you can program your comfort schedule
and let the system automatically do the rest. Multiple Brivis Touch
Controllers or Temperature Sensors may be fitted.
The following information applies to HEATING or REFRIGERATED
COOLING systems only (i.e. not Evaporative Systems).
Please ensure your dealer has provided you with details on zone
identification, the capabilities of your heating and cooling system, and
the maximum or minimum number of zones that can be operated
simultaneously for heating or cooling design conditions.
7.1 Single Temperature Set Point Zoning (STSP)
The zone temperature set point is the same across all Touchscreens
and/or Temperature Sensors.
Pressing the “ZONES” button on the Home Screen will bring up the
ZONE SELECTION: OPERATING screen, refer Diagram 17.
•A blue light indicates the zone’s status (ON or OFF)
•Press to select “On” or “Off” as required
•A flashing blue “On” status indicates the zone is at the set point
7.2 Multi Temperature Set Point Zoning (MTSP)
The zone temperature set point can be set independently across all
Touchscreens and/or Temperature Sensors.
Pressing the “ZONES” button on the Home Screen will scroll between
the available zones, indicated by the Zone ID, refer Diagram 18.
•The Home Screen indicates the Zone Temperature and Set Point
of each Zone
Diagram
