ROUND LOW PRESSURE ZONE DAMPERS 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”.

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.
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.
