1. Safety Considerations Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause death, personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency or your distributor or branch for information or assistance.
When using a Bryant HRV or ERV with a zoned system, the Evolution System Zone board allows connection of a Bryant HRV or ERV without the need for separate wall control or NIM. All system components are controlled through the wall mounted Evolution Connex Control, which replaces the conventional thermostat and provides the homeowner with a single wall control for all features of the system.
4. Installation 4.1. Overview This instruction covers installation of the Evolution Connex Control only. Physical installation instructions for the indoor and outdoor equipment, and accessories are provided with each unit. Setup, commissioning, operation, and troubleshooting of the Evolution System are covered in this installation instruction at a high level.
All wiring must comply with national, state, and local codes. 4.3.1. Wall Control The Evolution Connex Control is the command center for the Evolution System. It should be located where it is easily accessible and visible to the adult homeowner or end user. For accurate...
4.3.2. Wired Remote Room Sensors A Remote Room Sensor can be used with the Evolution Connex Control to take the place of the control’s internal temperature sensor. This allows the Evolution Connex Control to be mounted in areas with less than optimal airflow (such as near an exterior door, window or in a closet).
4.4. Wiring Considerations Ordinary thermostat wire is recommended. See Shielded Wire and Communication Bus Configuration Section for notes on shielded wire. Continuous wire lengths over 25 ft. should use 18 AWG wiring. NOTE: ABCD bus wiring only requires a four-wire connection; however, it is good practice to run thermostat cable having more than four wires in the event of a damaged or broken wire during installation.
The shield wire should be connected to the C terminal, or ground, AT THE INDOOR UNIT, ONLY. The shield wire should NOT be connected to any terminal at the Evolution Connex Control. Connecting the shield to ground at both ends can cause current loops in the shield, reducing shield effectiveness.
Align the trim plate around the backplate, and snap on the system control. NOTE: Once the Evolution Connex Control is secured to wall with the backplate assembly (snapped together), care must be taken not to bend or break the interlocking tabs when removing.
• Attach Evolution Connex Control to the mounting plastic by lining up the plastic guides on the back of the control with the opening on the mounting plastic and push on.
Instructions for more details, as provided. 5.1. Searching for Indoor Unit The Evolution Connex Control will light up and display the Brant logo and then begin the commissioning process by displaying “Searching for indoor unit”. NOTE: If the Evolution System-compatible indoor equipment (package unit indoor section, gas furnace or fan coil) cannot be found, the control will display “Indoor unit not found”.
Refrigerant Charging Greenspeed® Intelligence, 18VSt, 19VSt Systems Section. Select “other” for non-Bryant evaporators. 5.4. Electric Heater Selection If the indoor equipment is a fan coil, the control will display “Searching for heater” until one is found.
SYSTXCCRCT01 and SYSTXCCRWF01. The SAM is used for home automation purposes and is NOT used to connect the system control to the Internet. The Evolution Connex Control must have at least Version 8 software or newer to be compatible with the SAM.
A13117 5.6. Searching for Zones (If Applicable) “Zoning - Searching” will appear on the screen to determine if any zones are present. The screen will show Zone 1, Zone 2, etc. and indicate all zones having either a Remote Room Sensor, or smart sensors associated with them.
5.9. Ultraviolet Lights Installation Next, the installer will be prompted to select whether ultraviolet lights are installed in the system. Select YES or NO, then touch NEXT. 5.10. Equipment Summary The equipment summary screen will appear after accessories have been selected. This screen will give a summary of all equipment automatically found or manually selected.
If the Evolution Connex Control detects an error (damper not moving or damper wired backwards), it will perform the duct assessment again. If it still detects a damper problem, it will default the measurements into equal sizes, with 10% leakage, and display the zone number for the suspected zone damper.

The dehumidify airflow, when set to NORMAL, the airflow is allowed to adjust to a minimum to satisfy the dehumidification call. When set to HIGH, the minimum airflow during the dehumidify mode is increased to reduce duct and register sweating. Also the airflow increases minimum airflow during normal cooling operation to help reduce duct sweating.
