Design Considerations
The Evolution Zone system is unique because a bypass damper
must not be used. This is possible due to the intelligence of the
system and variable speed motor technology. For trouble--free
applications, the following parameters should always be met:
1. Zones should be sized so that each zone can deliver at least
the minimum airflow for the system in both heating and
cooling modes.
2. Oversize duct work by 25% to avoid excess noise at mini-
mum zone airflow.
3. Be aware that heating airflow may be higher than cooling
airflow depending on equipment combination.
INSTALLATION, START--UP OVERVIEW
This instruction covers installation of the Evolution Zone Control
only. Physical installation instructions for the indoor and outdoor
equipment, Damper Control Module, and accessories are provided
with each unit.
Setup, commissioning, operation, and troubleshooting of the
Evolution Zone System are covered in this installation instruction.
It is the guide to connecting the system components and
commissioning the system once all physical components are
installed. Special screen prompts and start--up capabilities are
provided in the Evolution System to simplify and automate the
initial commissioning of the system.
SInstall Evolution Zone Control according to this instruction.
SInstall indoor unit, outdoor unit, and accessories according to
their instructions.
SWire complete system according to this instruction.
SSetup, commission, and operate system according to this
instruction to assure a smooth and trouble free start--up.

installation if shipment is damaged or incomplete.
Evolution Zone Control Location and Wiring
Considerations
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Disconnect power before routing control wiring.
!WARNING
All wiring must comply with national, local, and state codes.
Evolution Zone Control Location
The Evolution Zone Control User Interface is the command center
for the Evolution Zone System and is typically located in Zone 1 to
sense and control temperature in this zone. It should be located
where it is easily accessible and visible to the adult homeowner or
end user.
For accurate temperature measurement, the following guidelines
should be followed:
The Evolution Zone Control and Room Sensors should be
mounted:
SApproximately 5--ft (1.5 meters) from the floor.
SClose to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside
partitioning wall.
SOn a section of wall without pipes or ductwork.
The Evolution Zone Control and Room Sensors should NOT be
mounted:
SClose to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading
to the outside.
SExposed to direct light or heat from a lamp, sun, fireplace, or
other temperature--radiating objects which could cause a false
reading.
SClose to or in direct airflow from supply registers.
SIn areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an
alcove.
Remote Room Sensor Option
A Remote Room Sensor can be used with the Evolution Zone
Control to take the place of the User Interface internal temperature
sensor. This allows the Evolution Zone Control to be mounted in
areas with less than optimal airflow (such as near an exterior door,
window or in a closet). The remote sensor can be wired to the
terminal block connectors labeled S1 and S2 at the User Interface
backplate, or the ZS1 and ZS1C connection at the Damper Control
Module. In either case, the Evolution Zone Control will
automatically detect the Remote Room Sensor and ignore its
internal temperature sensor. It is also important to note the
humidity sensor cannot be remotely located, so do not locate the
Evolution Zone Control in an area where humidity sensing may
not be accurate.
In addition, the Remote Room Sensor is a temperature sensor only,
having no additional user inputs. This sensor is typically connected
to the Damper Control Module and used to sense and control
temperature in each zone.
Remote Sensor Averaging
Typically, one Remote Room Sensor is used per zone, but multiple
sensors may be used and averaged in some applications. Averaging
requires a special series--parallel wiring method with a specific
number of sensors. See Fig. 2 in this manual for wiring diagram.

Smart Sensor
Any zone may use a Smart Sensor. It provides a temperature
display and buttons to adjust the desired temperature in that zone
only. It also displays outdoor temperature and indoor humidity
sensed at the User Interface. Only one Smart Sensor may be used
per zone. They cannot be averaged like Remote Room Sensors. If a
Smart Sensor is used in a zone, a Remote Room Sensor may also
be used in the same zone. The Remote Room Sensor has priority
over the Smart Sensor. The Smart Sensor will display the Remote
Room Sensor temperature.
NOTE: Smart Sensors must be addressed to identify which zone it
will control. See Smart Sensor Installation Instructions for details.
