Operating
Multiple dampers may be used to configure a zone. The total
number of dampers that can be used depends on the VA
rating of the 24VAC transformer used. Up to six dampers can
be daisy chained to configure a zone.
All panels operate with gas/electric systems, conventional heat
pumps and dual fuel heat pumps.

Installing the Outdoor Temperature Sensor
Wiring the Outdoor Temperature Sensor
The outdoor temperature sensor (TS3) should be placed in a
shaded location and protected from rain or snow such as under
the eves of a home. Select a location and drill a 5/16-inch
diameter hole to pass the sensor wires through.
Remove screw (1) and separate the base (5) and the cover (2).
Pass a 2-wire thermostat cable through the wall, through the
gasket (6) and through the base (5). Secure the base (5) to the
wall with the gasket (6) between the base and wall using the
two mounting screws (4). Connect the red and white
thermostat wires to the thermistor wires (no polarity) using the
wirenuts (3). Push the wirenuts and wire into the cover and
secure the cover with the screw (1).
Connect the red and white thermostat wires to the OAS Sensor

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor (Model TS2)
The optional discharge or leaving air temperature sensor (TS2)
can be used to limit discharge air temperature in heating and
cooling to prevent over-heating the plenum or freezing the
indoor coil when only a small number of zones are calling.
o
The panel is factory set for 160 F heating limit for gas heating
o
and 140 F for compressor heating. If the discharge
temperature exceeds these limits, the panel will down-stage or
turn the heating off (fan continues to operate) until the
temperature is within limits. In cooling the factory limit is set to
o
45 F. The PDMi3 can be used to digitally adjust these limits.
Installing the Discharge Air Temperature Sensor
Warning!
Drill a 3/8-inch diameter hole in the plenum or supply duct.
Remove the screw (1) to separate the cover (2) and base (5).
Insert the sensor tube (7) through the gasket and the drilled
hole. Attach the base to the plenum or duct using the two
mounting screws (4). Use the wire nuts (3) to connect the red
and white thermostat wires to the two thermistor wires. Place
the wires into the cover and through the U-shaped tab at the
bottom of the base. Install the cover using the screw (1).
The discharge temperature sensor (TS2) has a 6-inch long,
stainless steel tube that goes into the discharge airstream in
the plenum or main supply duct.
Be careful when drilling holes in the plenum to avoid
puncturing the indoor coil or damaging other components.

If zones are equal size, the weighted zone value is 1.0 zones.
The examples below show a 3-zone installation with different

There are a number of bypass methods that can be used with the
panel as shown below.
If the ducts are sized for larger airflow and there is only 2 or 3
zones, no bypass may be acceptable. Or each zone damper
can be set to not fully close. The actuator has a cam that can
set the closed position from fully closed to about 50% closed
to provide some bypass.
If a mechanical bypass damper is being used with a bypass
duct, select Ext Baro.
The bypass damper must be sized to bypass the total system
CFM minus the CFM of the smallest zone. The weights on the
arm of the bypass damper should be set so the damper is
fully open and open enough to eliminate any noise that may
occur when only the smallest zone damper is open.

Staging is controlled by the number of zones calling for heating or
cooling and by a timer that monitors the amount of time a call has
been active. Each stage can be set to activate based on the total
of the weighted zones calling or set to only be activated by the
timer.
Title24 now requires delaying auxiliary electric strip heating in a
heat pump so it does not activate on a recovery from a setback
temperature. The stage used for auxiliary heat can be set to
activate only by the timer.
The non-calling zone dampers can be opened just enough to
keep the airflow in the calling zones from being too high or noisy.
The PDMi3 can be used set the bypass position for each zone in
heating and cooling during installation.
When non-calling zone dampers are used for bypass, the amount
of bypass can be set for each zone being used in heating and
cooling.
Although both the calling and non-calling zones are receiving
conditioned airflow, the calling zone is being conditioned typically
3-4 times faster than the non-calling zones.

Decrease the bypass positions.

A damper can be used to bring outdoor air into the return to
maintain a healthy home. The equipment fan draws in the
outdoor air and mixes it with the return air from the home.
The panel attemps to fulfill the required fresh air during
heating and cooling calls. As the end of each hour
approaches, the panel will open the fresh air damper and
activate the indoor fan (G) if additional fresh air minutes are
required.
The PDMi3 allows the installer to directly set the minutes
per hour the fresh air damper is open or the PDMi3 can
calculate the required CFM of fresh air based on the area
of the home and the number of bedrooms.
Fresh air operation is factory set to Off.
If the contractor has calculated the CFM for fresh air and sized
the damper to operate for a number of minutes each hour, the
minutes can be directly entered.
The PDMi3 allows the installer to calculate the required CFM of
fresh air based on the area of the home and the number of
bedrooms. The calculated CFM is the CFM required if the fresh
air damper is continuously open and the indoor fan operating to
draw in fresh air.
The PDMi3 tutors the installer to set the area of the home in
square feet and the number of bedrooms. It then calculates and
displays the minimum amount of outdoor air required to meet the
requirement for the home. This is the amount required if the
indoor fan was running continuously.
If the fresh air intake is increased, the fresh air operation can
occur mostly during calls to minimize dis-comfort. The PDMi3 will
then display the number of minutes of fresh air operation required
each hour based on the minimum CFM and the selected CFM.
