ZC - Series
The Zone Controllers offer extended utility to the DriveRack®and ZonePRO fami-
lies. The ten Zone Controllers use analog DC voltage to provide logic control
ranging from zone source selection, volume and muting, to program or scene
selection and fire safety muting. Wired with readily available and affordable CAT5
cable with universally accepted RJ-45 connectors at distances up to 1000 ft, the ZC
Zone Controllers offer simple yet elegant solutions to the contractor.
The ZC-1 provides programmable remote volume control for the DriveRack 260,
220i and the ZonePRO products. The ZC-2 offers programmable volume and mute
control for the DriveRack 220i, 260 and the ZonePRO products. The ZC-3 can
function as a program selector for the DriveRack 260 and 220i; in addition it can
be used for as a source selector, page steering control, or a scene selector for the
ZonePRO products. The ZC-4 provides program change capability from contact
closures for the DriveRack 220i and 260; it can also provide source selection, page
steering, or scene selection for the ZonePro products. The ZC-6 is a programma-
ble volume control for the ZonePRO products. The ZC-7 is a programmable push-
to-talk page assignment controller for the ZonePRO devices. The ZC-8 provides
both programmable source selection and volume control to the ZonePro products.
The ZC-9 provides source selection for the ZonePRO 1260 and 1261. The ZC-BOB
allows “home run” or parallel wiring to the DriveRack and ZonePro products. The
ZC-FIRE is a dedicated fire safety interface for the ZonePRO products that allows
selection of either system mute or scene selection upon being triggered by either
a relay or control voltage from the fire safety system. For more information please
