The UZC4 Universal Zone Control System allows you to easily
upgrade an inefficient single zone HVAC system, into an
Automated, Multi-zone, Energy saving, Comfort producing,
Safety Minded, HVAC system. With Superior design, Intuitive
firmware, Building Code Compliant support, Simple setup
options, and Easy to understand wiring, the UZC4 Zoning
system is the Designer/Contractors dream. Combined with
Patented EWC motorized dampers and practically any Off-the-
shelf Conventional or Heat Pump style Thermostats,
EWC has set a New Industry Standard in Large
Residential and Commercial HVAC Air Zoning Systems.
The main module controls four air zones
Zone
using 24 vac motorized air dampers and
Capacity
may be expanded up to 22 zones, using
ZXM2 Expansion Modules.
Compatible
The UZC4 will Control 2, 3 & 4 stage
Conventional, GeoThermal or Dual Fuel
HVAC
Heat pumps, without the need for dual
Systems
fuel kits. Also single or multi-stage Gas,
Oil, & Hydronic HVAC systems, with
single or two stage cooling and Constant
or Variable speed fan systems.
Compatible with most Off the shelf 1 or 2
Compatible
stage Conventional Heat/Cool or Heat
Thermostats
Pump Thermostats. All Mechanical,
Digital/Electronic, Dual Mode, and Internet
Compatible Thermostats that operate on
24vac. Battery powered or Power robbing
thermostats that draw less than 20 ma of
current are also compatible. Zone 1 will

Safety and Auxiliary/Dehumidify mode
inputs. See pages 9-11 & 14-17 for details.
Automatic
The UZC4 Zone system features
automatic changeover from any
Heat/Cool
thermostat allowing for individual zone
Changeover
comfort from the HVAC system.
The STATUS LED pulses as a steady

* UZC4 Zone Control Panel
* Supply Air Sensor
* Technical Bulletin TB221
* Mounting Hardware
The main UZC4 module has a Manual
Reset circuit breaker with a Ground
Fault Indicator that protects all
connected modules and thermostat
circuitry. All modules have separate
damper motor Thermal Breakers too.
They protect the damper motor circuitry
from shorts in the field wiring. The
breakers will not protect against shorts
in the HVAC system wiring.
CAUTION:
When the thermal
breaker is tripped it will get quite
hot. To reset the breaker: Shut off
power to the panel. Find and repair
the short. Restore the 24VAC power.
TEMPERATURE: -20° to 160°F (-29° to 71°C)
HUMIDITY: 0% - 95% RH Non-Condensing.
The UZC4 allows constant operation of
the Indoor Fan by Thermostat #1 only, or
by each individual thermostat. When
controlled by thermostat #1, All Zone
dampers will respond. When controlled
individually, Zones not calling
continuous fan will close.
