Introduction

ThankyouforchoosingSmartTempAustraliaP/Lforyourheating,coolingorair
conditioningsystemzonecontrolmanagement.Youhavechosenaproductbuiltto
exceptionalstandardsandthatoffersthatlatest’stechnologyinenergymanagement
andcomfortcontrol.

Pleasetakethetimetoreadtheseinstructionsandfamiliariseyourselfwiththe
featuresandfunctionsfoundinthisproduct.

AlthoughtheEASYZONETOUCHworkswellwithanythermostat,itsmanyfeatures
canbefullyutilisedwhenpairedwithacompatiblethermostat,suchastheSmart
TempSMT‐770“Chameleon”thermostat.

AstheEASYZONETOUCHiscapableofbeingapartofmanydifferenttypesofheating
coolingandairconditioningsystems.Itisbeyondthescopeofthismanualtodescribe
themall.SowhetheryourEASYZONETOUCHisconnectedto“inverter”,“air
conditioningsystem”,“reversecyclesystem”,“heatpumpsystem”,“gas/oilheater”or
“HVAC”systemthismanualdescribesthesecollectivelyasa“heatingandcooling
system”.

WhatIsZoning?

Climatesystemzonecontrolallowstheusermanageddistributionofconditionedair
(warmedorcooled)tospecificarrearsofyourhomeorofficetopermityoutoincrease
thecomfortlevelsortoreduceenergycostsinyourhomeoroffice.

Justasyourhomeorofficehasanumberoflightswitchestocontrolwhichroomsare
lit,yourzonecontrolsystempermitsyoutocontrolwhichroomsareheatedorcooled
andinmostcircumstances,whattemperatureismaintainedintheserooms(orzones).

Whenusingazonecontrolsystem,itisimportantthatrealisticdemandsaremadeon
thesystemsuchaskeepingallthezonesdesiredtemperaturestowithin5to8cof
otherzonetemperaturesorofthemastercontrollingthermostat.

AdvantagesofZoning
ReducedenergyCosts
Zoningpermitsyoutoreduceyourenergycostsbynotheatingorcoolingan
areaofyourhomeorofficethatisvacant.Shuttingunusedzonessendsall
availablecapacityofyourheatingorcoolingsystemtozonesthatare
occupied,enablingthemtoreachsettemperaturefaster‐savingenergy.

Rapidtemperaturerecovery
Byshuttingdownlessimportantzonesonparticularlyhotorcolddayswill
bringmoreimportantzonestosettemperaturemorequickly.Turnoffthe
unoccupiedbedroomsduringdaytoensurethelivingareatemperatureis
effortlesslyandefficientlymaintained.

MoreeventemperatureControl
TheEASYZONETOUCHwillenableyoutoturnzonesoffmanuallywhenthey
becometoowarmorcool,soturnoffupstairswhenthetemperatureis
warmenoughwhileleavingdownstairstocontinuetoheat.

TheEASYZONETOUCHcanautomaticallyshutsomezonesdownwhena
zonepresettemperaturehasbeenreachedifconfiguredbyyourinstaller.

SmallerHeatingorcoolingsystemrequired.
Aszoningissuchanenergyefficientmethodofclimatecontrol,itis
recommendedthatasmallerthannormallyrequiredheatingandcooling
systembeused.Thissavesmoneyasacapitolinvestmentandinongoing
energybills.

DisadvantagesofZonecontrol
Manyheatingandcoolingsystemsmustmaintainaminimumvolumeofair
throughthesystemforthemtoworkeffectively.Aszonesareclosedthe
volumeofairthroughtheheatingandcoolingsystemmaybereducedandif
toomanyzonesaresimultaneouslyclosedwhiletheheatingandsystemis
running,theheatingandcoolingsystemmayshutdowntoprotectitself.

TheEASYZONETOUCHwillattempttopreventthisbyautomaticallyopening
allzonesifitdetectsstressontheheatingandcoolingsystem.

Further,shuttingtoomanyzonesdownwillincreaseairvelocitythroughthe
openzoneswhichnowmaybecomenoisy.Usingathermostatsuchasthe
SmartTempSMT‐770thatcancontrolfanspeedsonacompatibleheating
andcoolingsystemswillpermityoutomanuallyselectalowerfanspeedto
eliminateorreducethisproblem.

Operation

TheEasyZonetouchisamicroprocessorbaseddevicecapableofactivelycontrolling
upto6temperaturecontrolledzones.ItisalsofittedwithaLCDmembranethatis
touchsensitivemakingusingthezonecontrolleraverysimplematter.

Withoutapplyinggreatpressureandusingyourfingertiporfingernailyouareableto
operatethesystemandturnzonesonoroffandsetzonetemperaturesasrequired.

TheEASYZONETOUCHwillrespondtoallvalid“touch”commandswithaconfirming

EASYZONETOUCHSafetySystems

AstheEASYZONETOUCHdoesnotdirectlycontroltheheatingandcoolingsystem,
(turntheheating&coolingsystemonoroffdirectly)itsimplyreportsthezone
temperaturestothestandardsuppliedcontroller(thermostat).Thestandard
thermostatthencontrolstheheatingandcoolingsystembasedonthe“sensing”zone
temperaturesandthermostatssetpoint.Thiszonecontrolstrategyoffersthemost
flexiblecontrolandimpactsleastontheheatingandcoolingsystemelectronics‐
therebyprotectingwarranties.

Giventhewidevarietyofheatingandcoolingsystemcapableofbeingcontrolledby
theEASYZONETOUCH,anumberofinnovativepassiveandactiveprotection
strategieshavebeenincorporatedintotheEASYZONETOUCHdesigntoprotectthe
heatingandcoolingsystemhardware.Therefore,dependingontherequirementsof
yourinstallationyoumayfindthattheEASYZONETOUCHmakessomedemandsof
youassetupbytheinstaller.Somerestrictionsmayincludesomeorallofthefollowing

Notbeingpermittedtocloseallzonessimultaneously.
Notbeingabletoopenallzonessimultaneously.
Keepingatleastonezoneasa“Sensing”zoneatalltimes.
Limitingthemaximumnumberof“Active”zones.

SystemmessagesonthestatusbarwillguideyouinusingtheEASYZONETOUCH.For
example,ifyouwanttoclosethebedroomzoneandyounotpermitted,simplyopen
anotherzonefirstandthentryclosingthebedroomzone.Thisensuresthatasufficient
numberofzonesareopenatalltimestomaintainthenecessaryairflowthroughthe
heatingandcoolingsystemforsafeoperation.
