Introduction
Congratulations! As the owner of Bryant’s Zone Perfect Plus zoning system, you have made a commitment to improving your in-
door comfort. Zone Perfect Plus allows your heating and cooling system to follow your schedule and provide greater comfort in
areas which are difficult to heat or cool. Here’s how it works: Your Bryant dealer has divided your home or business into zones
which are controlled separately. Instead of setting one temperature for the entire house or business, you can select a different tem-
perature for each of your zones. With the help of your dealer, and by following the easy, step-by-step instructions in this guide, you
will begin to enjoy the benefits of your Zone Perfect Plus system.

PlanningYour Comfort Schedule
To give you an idea of how to use your new Zone Perfect Plus system, let’s take the example of a 2-zone house that has been divided
into a living area (Zone #1 — family room, kitchen, etc.) and a sleeping area (Zone #2 — bedrooms).
For Zone #1, first decide what time each of the 4 periods begin for each day of the week. In this example, the living areas are occu-
pied during the weekday from 7:00–9:00 AM and from 5:00–11:00 PM where the desired heating temperature for winter operation
is 68° and the desired cooling temperature for summer operation is 74°. During the other periods of the day, this zone is unoccupied
and coded as “OUT,” and will not be conditioned unless the temperature drops below 60° or rises above 85° in that zone during that
time.
A96438
For Zone #2, the sleeping areas are unoccupied during the day, and the temperatures are set back during the night.
A96439
In this example, the weekend pattern changes to reflect that the living areas (ZONE #1) are in use during the day. Comfort Charts
on the follow pages will allow you to track the conditions in your home or business. Take a few minutes to complete a schedule for
each of your zones.

Overriding the Program Settings
Sometimes it may be desirable to override the program settings without changing the program.
Turning a zone off:

reprogramming your schedules.
1. Press the Next Zone button until the zone with the desired temperature is displayed.
2. Press the All Zone button, and all the remaining zones will now have two dashes in place of the desired tempera-
ture display. These zones will now have the same desired temperature as the primary zone that was chosen.

ControllingYour Humidity
Your Zone Perfect Plus system allows you to control the indoor humidity if you have optional equipment such as a humidifier or a
variable speed system. If you do not have these options, you can still view the indoor humidity in your home or business as well as
dehumidify your home or business while on vacation to prevent moisture damage. Check with your dealer to determine your equip-
ment features and limitations.
Depending upon where you live or work and the season of the year, you may need to humidify or dehumidify the air in your home
or business. With your new zoning system, you can control indoor humidity through your user interface instead of having several
different controls.
Viewing the indoor humidity:
A96475
1. Press the up and down buttons simultaneously. First the outdoor air temperature will be shown, then the indoor humidity.
Programming the humidification setpoint (optional feature for use with a humidifier):
1. Press the Set Time/Temp and Fan buttons at the same time to enter the humidity programming mode.
A98173

Programming the dehumidification setpoint (optional feature for use with variable speed
equipment):
1. Press the Set Time/Temp and Fan buttons at the same time to enter the humidity programming mode.
2. Press the Set/Time button until the upper setpoint is flashing.
A98176
3. Press the up or down arrows to raise or lower the desired setting. This can be set from 50–90 percent or off.
4. Press the End button at any time to exit the humidity programming function.
Programming your system for the Cool to Dehumidify function:
The dehumidification feature is designed for use with variable speed indoor equipment. However, if you have standard equip-
ment or live or work in a very humid climate, you can choose to run your cooling equipment more often to remove excess mois-
ture from the air. The Cool to Dehumidity feature allows the system to turn on the air conditioning as needed to try to reach the
dehumidification setpoint, while only lowering your indoor temperature 3 degrees. So, if you have set your cooling desired
temperature at 76° and your dehumidification setpoint at 65 percent, the system will turn on the air conditioning to try to reach the
65 percent, allowing the temperature to drop to no less then 73° in your home or business. To activate this function, follow the
steps below:
1. Press the Set Time/Temp and Fan buttons at the same time to enter the humidity programming mode.
2. Press the Set Time/Temp button until the upper setpoint is flashing.
3. Press the up or down arrows to raise or lower the desired setting. This can be set from 50–90 percent or off.
4. Press the Mode button and the COOL icon will be displayed.
5. Press the End button at any time to exit the humidity programming function.

Programming your system to dehumidify while on vacation:
If you are traveling or your home or business will be unoccupied for some period of time, you may want to occasionally run
the air conditioner to prevent moisture damage. This feature is particularly important in very humid regions.
Following the five steps listed in the previous section, adjust the dehumidification setpoint to your desired setting and activate
the “Cool to Dehumidify” function. Make sure the COOL icon is displayed. Press the End key to exit the humidity program-
ing function.
From the normal operation mode, press the Hold, Out, and All Zone buttons in that order to program all zones to an unoccupied
status. Until you return, the air conditioning equipment will be turned on as necessary to reach the dehumidification setpoint,
but it will not drop the indoor temperature lower than 70°F. In order for this function to work properly, it must be used with
the “Cool to Dehumidify” feature.
Humidity Control is an additional enhancement to your Zone Perfect Plus system. You may choose not to use this feature because
of equipment limitations, geographic location, or personal preference.
