Zone Heating; Thermostat - RSF Woodburning Fireplaces OPEL AP Owner's Manual

OPEL AP
10. If the blower fails to operate, check the following:
a) Consult the wiring diagram to assure proper con-
nections.
b) To assure proper contact, check the motor lead
wiring, incoming supply wiring and capacitor connec-
tions.
c) If possible, use a meter to test for continuity
between the fan leads. Please note that the capaci-
tor will show no reading if it is tested with a meter.
11. If the blower still fails to operate, consult your local
RSF Woodburning Fireplaces authorized dealer for
repair/replacement instructions.
ZONE HEATING (FDHCZ1 AND FDHCZ2)
For more regional heat control, the OPEL AP is ideally
suited for zone heating. (Figure 31) shows an example of
a three-zone system. The thermostat simultaneously
opens the desired valve and starts the blower when heat
is required. The zone control system consists of:
FDHCZ-1 (Figure 32):
(1 time)
Alternative blower
location
2 duct
6" diameter runs
Zero
clearance
3 duct
5" diameter
runs
Blower
Back draft
damper
Figure 29: Central heat location options
- 1 control box
- 1 blower transformer relay
- 1 thermal switch
Noise reduction collars
NOTE: The FDHCZ-1 replaces the FDHC6 if you are
installing the zone system.
FDHCZ-2 (Figure 33):
(1 to 3 depending
of how many zone you
want to control)
The system is wired similarly to the central heat system
(Figures 36 and 37) with the addition of the blower con-
trol and the blower center (see Figure 38). The whole
system runs on 24V AC. Make sure that the thermostats
are matched with the correct zone valve.
NOTE: the Opel AP must be installed in accordance with
all local codes, if any; if not, follow the current CSA C22.1
in Canada or NFPA 70 in the USA. Install and use as per
the manufacturer's installation and operating instruc-
tions.
