3.2 Zone Controller Wiring and Installation

Zone Controller Wiring

All Zone Controllers can be wired serially or in parallel. To wire in series, each Zone Controller

must have an identification number (ID) chosen using the DIP switches on the side of the

controller (see diagram A). A single Zone Controller can be used to control multiple outputs.

Conversely, multiple Zone Controllers can be used to control a single zone (for example, a ZC1

and a ZC3 controlling volume and source in a single zone respectively). In every case, each

Zone Controller is given a unique ID.

To wire the Zone Controllers in parallel, a ZC-BOB must be used. Each Zone Controller must

have a unique identification or number chosen using the DIP switches on the side of the

controller (see diagram A). To wire in parallel, each controller must be wired into a port of the

ZC-BOB with a connecting wire going to the SC device (see diagram C).

To set up the Zone Controllers, the System Architect GUI must be used. Open the GUI and click

on Card Configuration within the Hardware Configuration section of the Tools menu. In this

window, Zone Controllers are assigned to ZC Inputs 1-12. The input numbers on the left side

of the window correspond to the ID number set using the DIP switches on the individual Zone

Controllers. To select ID#2 for example, simply flip the 2 switch into the on position. ID 1-6

are connected to the top ZC input on the rear panel and ID 7-12 are connected to the bottom

input. To create ID 7-12, add 6 to the ID # selected on the back of the ZC. For example, to get

an ID# of 10, connect to the bottom ZC Input (7-12) and set the ID# to 4.

Zone Controller Installation

The installation of the Zone Controllers MUST be accomplished with the use of cable which is

rated VW-1 or higher. Common NEC designations which meet this rating include: CMP, CMR,

CMG, CM and CMX.
