INTELLIZONE INSTALLATION MANUAL
General Installation Information
Safety Considerations
Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system electrical components.
Only trained and qualied service personnel should install, repair or service heating and air conditioning equipment. When
working on equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety precau-
tions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Delivery Information
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure all crates and
cartons have been received. Examine the contents for shipping damage, removing them from the cartons if necessary. If
any damage is noted, the carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery receipt, acknowledging the damage.
General rules to follow when installing a zone system:
Up to four zones with dual capacity units (two with single-speed units).•
All dampers should be located as close to the main trunk as possible to limit the amount of pressurized trunk line and •
thus limit air leakage.
No less than three branch runs in a zone to prevent a single branch obstruction (curtains or clothes etc.) from affect-•
ing unit airow.
Insulate and seal around rectangular dampers to prevent leakage.•
All dampers must be wired with 18-gauge wire.•
Note: Crimp connections should never be used on solid conductor wire.
Insure that the transformer can handle the power requirements of the system.•
No more than three dampers per zone.•
Ductboard-mounted dampers should be supported within six inches of the damper due to the weight and stress on•
the ductboard.
Unit DIP switch #3-3 should be in the NO RPM mode.•
Unit DIP switch #3-2 should be in the OFF position when used with a zone control system.•
Unit DIP switch #2-8 should be in the ON position (continuous ‘L’ signal) when used with a zone control system.•
Installation and Design Steps
Decide which areas of a home or ofce will comprise each of the individual zones. A maximum of four individual zones
1.
(two with single-speed equipment) can be chosen.
Calculate loads using software or other recognized methodology.
2.
Use software to determine the equipment size and performance based on the total heating and cooling demands of the
3.
building, not the sum of the individual zone demands.
Find the peak heating and cooling demands and the peak CFM required for each of the zones.
4.
Note: Dual Capacity Envision has a 70% low capacity output, therefore minimum CFM required per zone is 40% of
nominal CFM, signicantly higher than the E Series with a 50% low capacity output.
Determine zone design air ow and zone size settings using IntelliZone Calculator software.
5.
Lay out and size the supply air ductwork and IntelliZone dampers. Care should be taken to avoid under sizing either the
6.
supply air systems, return air systems, or diffusers.
Decide where to locate the thermostats.
7.
Install the unit and the IntelliZone Comfort Zoning system.
8.
WARNING:
Before performing service or maintenance operations on the system, turn off main power switches to
the indoor unit. Turn off accessory heater power switch if applicable. Electrical shock could cause serious personal
injury.
CAUTION: When installing the IntelliZone in a structure with fossil fuel (oil, gas, propane) appliances, it is impor-
tant that both supply and return dampers are used in each zone to avoid potential back-drafting of fossil-fueled
appliances.
