Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a ZonePlus Climate Control System.
ZonePlus brings the possibility of total indoor climate control. It allows
you to optimize the performance of your Ducted Gas Heater or Dual
Comfort System throughcustomized comfort control.
Your specialist Rinnai Dealer has divided your home into zones that can
be operated and controlled separately. The exact configuration of your
ZonePlus system will determine the programming features that are
enabled, as well as the number of zones that can be heated (or cooled)
simultaneously. ZonePlus may be operated manually, or you can
program your comfort schedule and let the system automatically do the
rest.

1.0 ZONEPLUS – AT A GLANCE
Zone
One room or a group of rooms, normally selected on the basis of usage
or that have similar heating or cooling needs.
Controlled Zone
A zone that is separately controlled by its own zone sensor and zone
damper. There are as many zone sensors in the home comfort system
as there are ControlledZones.
Common Zone
A zone that is not separately controlled by its own sensor and
zone damper. It operates whenever heating or air conditioning
is on.
Constant Zone
A predetermined zone, typically the largest and containing the return air,
is designated the Constant Zone and functions as a Common Zone
only during refrigerated cooling mode to ensure the minimum cooling
airflow requirements are met.
Multi Temperature Set Point (MTSP) ZonePlus System
The zone temperature set point can be set independently across all
Networkers and/orTemperature Sensors.
Single Temperature Set Point (STSP) ZonePlus System
The zone temperature set point is the same across all Networkers and/or
TemperatureSensors.
NC-6 Networker Controller
Primary user interface with LCD display. Where multiple NC-6s are
installed, the “Master” Networker Controller can be identified by the
word “Clock” displayed adjacent to Key “5” when system is OFF.
NT-1 Remote Temperature Sensor
Zone temperature sensor with LED that blinks during communication
with Master NC-6. Additional NC-6 Networkers can be used in place of
up to 3x NT-1 sensors.
Sensor
Both the NC-6 and NT-1 function as zone (room) temperature sensors
–in this context, the word “sensor” in this manual can apply to both.
System Configuration
Details of your system configuration and capabilities are summarized
in Table 2: ZonePlus System Configuration Summary.
Comfort Schedule
The NC-6 Networker Controller of your ZonePlus System enables
you to program up to five time periods and temperature settings per
day, for each controlled zone, for both Heating and Refrigerated
Cooling modes.
This manual separately details operation and functionality for:
- Multi Temperature Set Point (MTSP) systems (p.8)
- Single Temperature Set Point (STSP) systems (p.17)

Program Key
This control Key is used to set the Networker's automatic program
Auto Key
The auto function allows the user toswitch betweenthe Auto Program andthe Manual Operation.
The Rotary Dial
This Dial is used to change the settings and parameters
Variable Keys

•Displays information about the system. The screen shows the current time via a Digital Clock in the top left corner, the Day of the Week on the left-hand
side, and the type of applianceselectedat thebottom
•The display will also show scrolling messages across the top of the screen, which can display some of the appliance’s operational states
Flame Symbol

at the end of the heating cycle
Fan Symbol
The fan symbol will appear on the display when the heater is switched on. This symbol will flash during cool down at theendof theheating
cycle.
Thermometer
The thermometer on the display registers the current room temperature. Beside it is a small marker which indicates the
temperature that the heater is currently set to maintain
Padlock Symbol
When the child-proof lock has been set, a padlock will appear on the screen. For more information, refer to the section on
Locking the Networker.

1.3 The Comfort Schedule
NC-6 Networker Controllers and NT-1 Remote Temperature
Sensors are programmed from factory with a default “Comfort
Schedule”times and temperatures detailed in Table 3.
In MTSP systems the “Comfort Schedule”settings for each
zone sensor is unique, i.e. four zones require four Comfort
Schedules. This provides you with ultimate flexibility, allowing you
to vary your Periods, Times and Temperatures for each zone.
In STSP systems the “Comfort Schedule” operates within the
same Period, time and temperature setting for all zones; i.e. up to
four zones will require one Comfort Schedule, with zones
activated or deactivated as required.
Table 3. Default Comfort Schedule Times and Temperatures
Use the templates located in the Appendix to customize your
personal “Comfort Schedule”.
First you need to decide what time you want each of the Periods to
begin for the Day Block selected, i.e. the “Wake” Period for Monday
to Friday. For MTSP systems this time can vary for all zones while for
STSP systems there can only be one time for all zones.
Second, select the desired Heating temperatures for winter operation.
Then select the Time and Temperatures for each of the remaining
Periods and days as required.
You may also program your Refrigerated Cooling (if fitted) “Comfort
Schedule”.
•Refer to Table 3for the default Comfort Schedule
•Refer to Table 4for an example of a MTSP Comfort Schedule
