    2.2.1 CONFIGURATION ZoningBOX 6 / 4 can control up to 12 climate zones, which can be grouped into one or two groups, depending on whether there is one or two HVAC units in the installation.
  • Page 10 This option is recommended for the cooling mode. ZoningBOX 6 / 4 permits one bypass to be set for each enabled zone group, avoiding overpressures in the air ducts, for example if all grilles are closed. Setting from how many closed grilles are to be forced open is also possible.
  • Page 11 ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 Grilles Maintenance: ZoningBOX can perform maintenance actions to prevent seize and dust in the grilles. This consists in automatically opening the grille once it is found to have been closed for more than one week. After thirty seconds it gets closed again.
  • Page 12 ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 ➢ “[Unit x] On/Off HVAC Unit (Status)”: one-bit object to receive feedback about the on/off state of HVAC unit “x”. This object must be grouped with the analogous object of the HVAC unit interface. ➢ “[Unit x] Global Temperature Setpoint”: 2-Byte object that will be sent whenever the temperature setpoint for HVAC unit “x”...
  • Page 13 ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 ➢ “[Group n] [Gi] [Control] Grille Status”: one-bit or 1-Byte object for receiving the feedback of the grille status. This is typically to be grouped with the analogous object in the Grilles module (see section 2.3).
  • Page 14 ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 The parameters in this part depend on the Operating Mode: Open/Close Mode: If enabled, the “[Unit x] Bypass” one-bit object will be available, which must be linked to the analogous object of the interface that controls such valve.

    ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 2.2.3 MODE Each HVAC unit works necessarily under one of the following operation modes at a time, which therefore is applied to all zones included in its group: Heating: the unit will generate hot air to warm the zones. The grille control will be intended to make the local reference temperature reach the zone setpoint temperature.

  • Page 36 ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 Note: while Test On mode is active, only the connection error will be notified through LED as an aid to testing the installation. If a serious error occurs, as power supply or overheating failure, it will be notified after Test On mode finishes.

The error objects are sent periodically (every thirty seconds) while their value is “1”. However, once they adopt the value “0” they are only sent once.

  • Page 38: Manual Control

    ZoningBOX allows manually operating the the grilles hrough the respective pushbuttons on the top of the device (one push button per grille). Contrary to other Zennio devices, ZoningBOX only provides manual operation in Test On mode (for testing purposes during the configuration of the device). This control mode allows direct control over the outputs with independence of the configuration and of the grille states, although some safety restrictions apply, as explained below.
  • Page 39 ZoningBOX 6 / ZoningBOX 4 ETS PARAMETERISATION The Manual Control is configured from the Configuration tab itself under Manual Control, as long as this function has been enabled in General (see section 2.1) Figure 27. Manual Control As the only manual control mode available in this device is the Test On mode, it will get enabled simply by enabling the manual control function.
