ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Owner’s Manual Page 6
4) Safety/spill system
The RF UniPoint has a built in safety system to protect
against all the dampers being shut off together
(Causing duct blow off due to high air pressure or more
serious problems).
Your installer will set this for you. Usually it will be set so
20-30% of the dampers will remain open. These will
usually be low numbered zones close to the return air duct
(Zones 1 or 2) that open into frequently used space.
5) Turbo feature
The RF UniPoint allows one zone to be selected as the
‘Turbo’ zone. This will usually be a zone which might
require heavy airow at certain times (due to a rapid inux
of people). The family/dining/games room are examples.
‘Turbo-ing’ a zone will give the zone a full opening while all
the other zones opening positions are reduced by 50%.
This will bring extra air into the zone.

and engineered system that is well suited to all ducted, reverse
cycle, heating and evaporative air conditioning system for light
commercial, residential or apartment applications.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 9
3) Components
1) Remote Control Handset
User can input control commands
from the handset to turn a zone on or
off. The LCD on the handset displays
clock and zone status.
2) Main Control Board
Main control board controls the
position of motorized damper of
each zone.
3) Motorized Damper (Bright Green)
Motorized damper drives the blade of
the damper to turn on/off the air from
ducting to a zone.
4) Cable
Cable connects the main control board
and the motorized damper together.
5) Supply Air Sensor
Supply air sensor measures the
temperature of the supply air for
safety purposes.
6) Power Supply
The 24 VAC transformer provides
power to the main control board and
the motorised dampers.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 10
The cabling of the Zonemaster UniPoint RF is
straightforward. A cable needs to connect the
motorised damper to the relevant output port
on the Main Control Board, as shown in the
above diagram.
The connect points on the Main Control Board
are numbered for easy reference.
NOTE: Test all cables prior to connecting with
the Zonemaster Cable Tester.
4) Conguration
Eight motorised dampers can be connected to the Main Control Board.
If the bypass mode in which a damper is used to return the air directly to
the return air duct, is selected in the system, there will be only 7 zones in
the system, and the 8th zone becomes the bypass.
Otherwise, there are independent 8 zones in a spill system in which lower
addressed zones in the system will be automatically forced to open to
prevent pressure from building up and duct damage.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 11
5) Spill/Bypass Air Setpoint
Spill/Bypass air is primarily used to relieve duct pressure for the safety
of the ducting. Such a control is achieved by comparing the system
requirement with a setpoint. The factory default is in spill mode and the
setpoint is 30% of total zones open, which is equivalent to 30% of the
total airow across the fan coil.
When allocating an address to each zone in spill mode, it is strongly
recommended to give lower addresses to those zones that have higher
spill privileges. These zones are normally located closer to the return air.
The lower the address, the higher the spill privilege the zone has.
When the spill setpoint is reached, the main control board instructs zone 1
to open as spill. If the rst spill zone cannot satisfy the spill air control, the
zone 2 will be instructed to open to spill excess air. This process will
continue until the spill air setpoint is satised in the system. Such a spill
air control strategy implemented in the Zonemaster UniPoint RF control
system requires the installer to allocate the zone 1 near the return air grilles.
Spill mode uses the zones with lowest address in the system as spill zones
that will be automatically forced to turn on if the total open zones are less
than the setpoint. For example, a 5-zone system without constant zone
needs 1 zone to be open as a minimum requirement to prevent pressure
building up and duct damage. The spill setpoint can be specied as 20%.
In bypass mode, a bypass damper is used to return the air directly to the
duct if the total open zones are less than the setpoint. It should be
connected to the 8th zone on the main control board.
1) At the setting mode in ‘Parameter’ screen,
press or button to select ‘Safety Spill’
2) Press button to select spill or bypass mode.
3) Press and button to change the spill/bypass
setpoint to its desired value.
The adjustable range is from 0% to 50%.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 12
6) Installation
6a) Zone address and allocation
1) Allocate addresses from 1 to all zones
with consideration of spill privileges
for the zones.
2) Mount the main control board by
screwing the box to a frame or
Polyaire Distribution Fitting (PDF).
Pull the antenna out to its maximum
length. Please mount the control
board away from any metal as it
affects the reception of the RF signal.
3) Remove the two-side covers on the
main control module so that all the
LEDs and sockets for zones are
shown.
4) Use a pre-tested cable to connect the
1st output port on the main control
board to the motorised damper of the
1st zone in the system.
5) Repeat step 4) to connect other zones
to its relevant output ports on the
main control.
6) Mount the supply air sensor in the
supply air duct between the fan coil
and the rst damper.
7) Connect supply air temperature
sensor to the socket on the main
control board.
8) Connect the 24VAC transformer to the
terminal on the main control board.
Apply the power to the transformer
by plugging it into the 240VAC power
outlet. A power LED on the main
board should be on.
9) Put the two side covers back on the
main control module.

1) Hold down both and buttons for about
5 seconds until the LCD displays ‘Setting’ on
the top line of the LCD screen.
2) At the setting mode, pressing button at
any time will return to the normal operation
mode.
6c) Setting system code
Each system has a default system code of 0 for both the remote
handset and the main control module. This code presents a unique
identication for the system to avoid possible interference (with
neighbours who have installed a similar system) with the effective
range. In case of interference, the code needs to be adjusted to a
different code. There are 8 codes in total (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
Setting system code on remote handset
1) At the setting mode, select ‘Parameter’ by
pressing button to display its sub-menu.
2) Use or button to select the System
Code (high lightened).
3) Use and button to increase or
decrease the code.
Setting system code on main control module
1) Remove the two side covers on the main
control board, a push button and 8 sets
of LED indicators can be seen.
2) Press the push button once and the
main control board goes into the setting
up mode. The default setting for system
code is 0.
3) Press the button again, the system code
changes to 1, and the green LED for
zone 1 lights up as well. This green light
gives the conrmation of the system
code to be 1.
4) Follow step 3) to set the system code to the required code.
The required code is conrmed by the number of green
LEDs shown on the board.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 14
5) The main control board will exit the setting mode after the button
not being pressed for 5s. When exiting, all the RED LEDs light up
for resetting all the positions.
6) Once the setting is nished, all the zone’s previous control
positions will be resumed.
6d) Number of zones in the system
For the purpose of zone status display and spill/bypass zone calculation,
the controller needs to know the total number of zones in the system. Its
factory default value is 8.
1) At the setting mode, select ‘Parameter’ by using
or button. Then press button until
the LCD displays the ‘Parameter’ screen.
2) Use arrows or button to scroll down to
‘Number’ line.
3) Press and button to adjust zone number
to the desired number of the system. The
selectable zone number is 1 to 8.
6e) Supply air safety high & low limits
For safety reasons, the system monitors the supply air temperature of the
system closely. If the temperature moves outside of the limits, all dampers
in the system are forced open. The factory default setting is that the safety
control is disabled.
1) At the setting mode in ‘Parameter’ screen, press
or buttons to select ‘Hi-limit’, and press
button to enable Hi-limit.
2) Once enabled, the Hi-limit shows 60°C as default
and it can be changed by pressing the and
buttons. The adjustable range of the high limit is
from 45°C to 75 °C.
3) Press or button once to select ‘Lo-Limit’,
and press the button to enable ‘Lo-limit’.
4) Once enabled, the Lo-limit shows 5°C as default and it can be
changed by pressing the and buttons. The adjustable range of
the low limit is from 0 °C to 15 °C.
5) NOTE: If customer does not want the safety function, no supply air
sensor should be installed. The safety limits must be disabled by
pressing the button once.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 15
6f) Turbo
Using Turbo on a zone will give the zone a full
opening while all the other zones’s opening positions
are reduced by 50%. This will bring extra air into
the zone.
1) At the setting mode in ‘Parameter’ screen, press
the or button to select ‘Turbo’.
2) Press and button to select the zone to
have a turbo feature.
6g) Naming zones
It is essential to put correct names against the zones
to make sure the end user is fully aware of the
location of each zone. NOTE: do not leave the hand
control with just ‘Zone1 /Zone 2’. This will result
in customer confusion and disappointment with
the installation.
The name of a zone is called ‘Zone_addr’ in default
setting. For example, Zone 1, which has an address
of 1, is called ‘Zone_1’ on its factory default. The
names can be customised as you prefer as follows:
1) In Setting mode, press or button to
select ‘Naming’, and press button to enter
the sub menu of the naming screen.
2) Press or button to select the zone to
be named.
3) Press and button to select one of the
preset zone names for the zone.
4) If the user wants to make some changes to the
preset name selected, press the button to
initialize the change, and then press and
button to select the character that is highlighted.
5) Then use and button to change the
character as the user prefers. There are 26
letters, 10 numbers and a space to be selected
through this process.
6) Press button to exit the change process.
7) Press or button to select the next zone and
follow steps 3) to 6) to customize the name of the zone.

ZONEMASTER UNIPOINT RF DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Setup Guide Page 16
6h) Balancing zones
The RF UniPoint’s Balancing feature offers the exibility of balancing the
amount of airow to each zone electronically. It works in the same way
as a manual metal damper does to balance the airow for each zone.
Once the opening position of the damper is set, the zone will only open to
this position. The default setting for each zone is 100% opening position.
The balancing settings can be customized as follows:
1) In Setting mode, press or button to
select the ‘Balance’, and then the button to
enter the sub menu of the balancing screen.
2) Press or button to select the zone to
be balanced.
3) Press and button to increase or decrease
the percentage of opening positions for the zone.
4) Follow step 2) and 3) to adjust the settings for the
other zones.
Please note that once the zone is balanced with a percentage opening,
it is treated as a complete zone when calculating spilling setpoint. For
example, a 5-zone system with a 20% spilling setpoint requires 1 zone
open all the time, and these zones in the system could have different
balanced positions. This may require a higher % spill level.
6i) Damper on/off test
1) Switch on the air conditioner.
2) Press button to enter into zoning screen.
3) Press button to select the zone and use button to turn the
zone on or off to check if the damper is correctly connected by feeling
the air at the outlet.
