Installation Guide DIGI3U Three-Zone, Universal Controller for Gas/Electric or Heat Pump Applications 3-Zone Controller for the “RNC” Market Zoning Systems That’s all we do. Part #D3MAN October 2011...
DIGI3U is an economical auto-changeover 2 or 3 zone controller, perfect for residential RNC construction or smaller zoning systems. The DIGI3U is a universal board that is field configurable for Gas/Electric or Heat Pump applications. The DIGI3U provides Emergency Heat control and an optional LAT providing capacity control while protecting the coil from freezing or the heat exchanger from premature failure.
2. Gas/Electric applications – install sensor as far as possible from the FAU heat exchanger but still before the bypass tap. 5. Run wire from the LAT sensor to S S terminals on DIGI3U controller. Insert one wire under each S terminal, and tighten terminal screw.

SYSTEM CONTROLLER OPERATIONS – DIGI3U Changeover Gas/Electric: While controller is operating in heat or cool, Purge Mode: When all calls are satisfied or a changeover occurs, a if another thermostat places a call for the opposite mode, a changeover 3-minute recycle delay will be initiated. During this time, the controller sequence will begin.
SYSTEM CONTROLLER OPERATIONS – DIGI3U HEAT PUMP OPERATION Configure DIGI3U for heat pump operations. Place jumpers JP1 and JP2 in desired position: JP1 “O,” reversing valve for cooling (“B” position will energize reversing valve in heating), JP2 set in HP position.

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 max- imum differential static pressure of 0.5”. These are two position, spring open, power close dampers for very simple operation.
BYPASS DAMPERS – BAROMETRIC The barometric bypass damper is for systems 5 tons or under. It utilizes calculated in Step 1. For rectangular barometric dampers, use a a weighted damper blade to maintain constant duct pressure. This ductulator to convert from round to rectangular. allows for easy installation without the need for electrical power or If bypassing more than 2000 CFM, use electronic bypass damper.
