INTRODUCTION The Zonex Systems Digitract 4-2 zoning system enables up to four room thermostats to control a single HVAC system. This permits superior building temperature control over a standard single thermostat. To provide economical, effective and simplified remote control and monitoring capability of one or more Digitract 4-2 zone control systems, the ZonexCommander may be used to manage up to 80 thermostat schedules.

SYSTEM CONTROLLERS The DigiTract 4-2 System Controller is the heart of the Digitract 4-2 are opposing calls. The built in Capacity Controller maintains the supply zoning system. It is an auto changeover, home run system with a built in air temperature within an operating range to prevent freeze ups and staging and capacity controller.
Occasionally software upgrades Cool call. When energized (Y made to R), may become available. If so, the Digitract 4-2 software can be field requests the Digitract 4-2 to run in cool mode. upgraded by changing this microcontroller.
SYSTEM CONTROLLER – HEAT PUMP DTHP4-2 OPERATION The System Controller will initially run in the mode requested by the first Purge mode – When all calls are satisfied or before changing modes, calling zone thermostat. the System Controller will go into a 3-minute purge cycle. During this mode the compressor and indoor blower will deenergize.

Digitract 4-2 and thermostats. When ON, power an indicator light on thermostat 1. This feature is not available from the heat pump transformer is supplied to the Digitract 4-2 and on all heat pumps and/or thermostats.
HVAC unit could freeze up or overheat. To compensate the air temperature has returned within operating range. Additionally, for for this, the Digitract 4-2 is furnished with a built in Capacity Controller. heat pumps the Capacity Controller will turn on the heat pump auxiliary heat if the coil leaving air temperature is not hot enough in heat mode.
See Thermostat Compatibility section below. ZONEX SYSTEMS THERMOSTATS Zonex Systems offers three thermostat models that can be used with the Gas/Electric Digitract 4-2 System Controller (DTGE4). These models are SADIGI, 101PROG and DIGICOM. SADIGI: The SADIGI is a single stage gas/electric, hard wired (non-power robbing) thermostat. It can control one heat, one cool and blower fan.

SADIGI THERMOSTAT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SLIDE SWITCHES There are two switches located on the bottom of the thermostat. The switch on the left controls the fan and the switch on the right powers the thermostat. Sliding the fan switch to the left turns the indoor blower fan on continuously.
1.75” differential pressure on any system over 5 tons. ROUND LOW PRESSURE ZONE DAMPERS (TR diam) Zonex Systems round low pressure zone dampers can be used for systems up to 5 tons with a maximum differential static pressure of 0.5”. These are two position, spring open, power close dampers for very simple operation.

RECTANGULAR MEDIUM PRESSURE ZONE DAMPERS (101MRTD W x H) Zonex Systems rectangular medium pressure dampers are recommended for systems under 7.5 tons with a maximum differential static pressure of 1”. These are power open, power close dampers. They are constructed from heavy duty aluminum and stainless steel. The damper is an opposed blade type that slips into a 3-1/4”...

Select damper size by using a duct sizing table or calculator. For new systems or retrofit jobs: c) Select a Zonex Systems damper to fit the duct size selected for that zone. a) Determine CFM from heat gain or loss calculations.
BYPASS DAMPERS – BAROMETRIC INSTALLATION BAROMETRIC BYPASS SETUP a) Turn off all thermostats. The round barometric bypass damper can be installed in any position. b) Turn on Switching Center/Controller and set fan switch to “ON” This damper is factory set for horizontal installation and can be field position.
BYPASS DAMPERS – ELECTRONIC ELECTRONIC BYPASS DAMPERS Bypass dampers are used to provide constant air delivery through the air handling unit. This is done by bypassing excess air from the supply duct back to the return duct. As a zone is satisfied its zone damper closes. When this happens, the bypass damper opens just enough to bypass the excess air.
As the zone dampers close, the static pressure increases. When this happens, the static pressure controller opens the bypass damper to bring the static pressure back to the setpoint. Zonex Systems recommends de-energizing the bypass damper when the STATIC PRESSURE CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION blower fan turns off.
DAMPER TRANSFORMER The 24V transformer connected to TR1 and TR2 of the Digitract 4-2 the amperage rating of the fuse, use the table below. If using a System Controller powers the zone dampers. The power rating of the combination of spring open and power open dampers, size as if all transformer must be sufficient to power the number of dampers used.
