DAISY CHAINED FROM DAMPER TO DAMPER SYSTEM OVERVIEW The GEN II-R is a residential / light commercial zone control system controlling 2-10 independent zones per unit. The GEN II-R controller is designed for auto changeover, multi-stage Heat Pump (2C/3H) and Gas Electric (2C/2H) applications.

3° away from set point, heating is turned off. After a 5-minute purge mode, Cooling is turned on until the cool call is satisfied. If necessary, GEN II-R will return to the heating mode, If all calls have been satisfied, dampers will open for ventilation.
General Installation Instructions GEN II-R Controller 1. Install the GEN II-R controller on an interior wall where the ambient temperature is between 32°- 120°F (0°- 48°C) non-condensing. This controller is to be installed in an accessible interior area; not in attics or above ceilings.
2nd Stage Heat and Cool Cut-in / Cut-out Configuration The GEN II-R controller is set up at the factory to stage Y2 and W2 cut-in operation based on a 3-min- ute time delay and supply air temperature. This is done using the TIME/TEMP (I) jumper. Time may be field configured from 3-20 minutes by the contractor during system configuration.
GAS ELECTRIC ADVANCED FEATURE CONFIGURATION Adjust 2 Stage Cut-in Time Delay 1. To increase the Y2 and W2 cut-in delay, press and hold the SET and DN buttons (H) simultaneously. When 03 appears in the display, release the buttons and immediately press the UP button and hold until the desired delay time is displayed, and release.

The operation and setup procedures are the same as with “O” mode reversing valve, except the reversing valve will be energized for heat operation. GEN II-R Heat Pump Basic Configuration The GEN II-R controller is shipped from the GEN II-R factory for Gas Electric operation.

Setting Damper Boards for Heat Pump Operation When the GEN II-R controller is set up for Heat Pump operation, every damper board in the system needs to be placed in heat pump mode. This allows the dampers boards to work with heat pump thermostats. Place the HP...
THERMOSTAT WIRING SCHEMATIC THERMOSTAT SELECTION BASED ON SYSTEM OPERATION All thermostats are field selected, make sure to choose a programmable thermostat for each zone based on the system parameters below. Programmable thermostats allow multiple schedules on a zone by zone basis. GAS / ELECTRIC - Use any standard gas / electric single stage Heat / Cool 7 day programable thermostat.
B wires going to the next damper control board in the link and address the first damper control board as #1. Turn the GEN II-R power switch Off, then On, to see if the display flashes 01, at the GEN II-R controller.
For constant fan operation place the FAN jumper (I) on the center and upper pins on ON. Opposing Call Changeover The GEN II-R controllers are configured at the factory for Opposing Call Changeover with a time delay setting of 10 minutes. With this configuration, any number of thermostats can make a like active call (heat or cool).

2 WIRE ZONE DAMPERS Zonex Systems zone dampers are used in cooling / heating systems to provide room by room zone control. The damper is provided with a zone actuator. Each zone damper is controlled by a zone thermostat. More than one damper can be controlled by one zone thermostat.

ROUND MEDIUM PRESSURE ZONE DAMPERS Zonex Systems round medium pressure zone dampers are recom- mended for systems with a maximum differantial static pressure up to 1.75”. This power open / power closed damper is manufactured from 20-22 gauge galvanized steel with rolled-in stiffening beads for superior rigidity.
Page 22
MOTOR RECTANGULAR HEAVY DUTY ZONE DAMPERS (STCRX) Zonex Systems rectangular heavy duty dampers are recommended for systems 5 tons or larger with a maximum differential static psure of 1.75”. These are power open / power closed dampers made of 20 gauge “snaplock” steel frame with S & Drive duct connections.
DAMPER TRANSFORMER SIZING The 24V transformer connected to TR1 and TR2 of the GEN II-R System Controller powers the zone dampers. The power rating of the transformer must be sufficient to power the number of dampers used. Also, a properly rated in line fuse must be used on the secondary of the transformer.
SLAVING ZONE DAMPERS SLAVING MORE THAN THREE 2-WIRE ZONE DAMPERS When slaving more than three zone dampers, use the following diagram. An additional 24-volt transformer and control relays are needed for these applications. Note: All slave dampers need to be model TR / TREC and are 12va per damper.

NOTE: When using the electronic bypass (STBP/ST- CDBP), see the Bypass Dampers - Electronic Section, Pages Zonex Systems offers two types of bypass dampers, Barome- 23-26; or contact Technical Support at 800-228-2966. BYPASS DAMPERS – BAROMETRIC The barometric bypass damper is for systems 5 tons or under.

24” 4700 STRDBP24 24” 24” 27” The Zonex Systems STBP damper is used for round bypass applications. When you know the bypass CFM requirements, use the ROUND BYPASS SELECTION TABLE to confirm the round damper size. NOTE: Multiple round dampers can be slaved from one static pressure control to provide the correct capacity.
INTEGRATED PRESSURE CONTROL SETUP BYPASS DAMPER with INTEGRATED PRESSURE CONTROL (Part # STBP or STCDBP) Bypass Damper with Integrated Pressure Control is used to control bypass operations. The bypass damper modulates to maintain static pressure as zone dampers open and close. The bypass system reduces air noise from the supply registers caused by excessive air velocity.
