QUICK START AND COMMISSIONING GEN II QUICK START AND COMMISSIONING GEN II-VVT TIME/TMP TIME AUTO The GEN II is equipped with a Digital Display (G) that constantly displays Leaving Air Tem- perature from the unit. At startup, this display also reports the number of thermostats communicat- ing with the GEN II controller.
The GEN II controller is designed for Auto Changeover, multi-stage Heat Pump (2C/3H) and Gas Electric (2C/2H) applications. The GEN II system uses the Zonex EzTouch, which modulates and controls the “ST” series, 3-wire, 24-volt, power open / power close round and rectangular dampers.

GAS ELECTRIC ADVANCED FEATURE CONFIGURATION 2. O/B and HP jumpers (F) should both be on one pin or removed, for GE operation. 3. PRIORITY jumper (F) should be on one pin. Note: If the Priority opposing call strategy is to be used, this jumper position will be changed after the initial system start-up is completed.
HEAT PUMP OPERATION 2. To decrease the Y2 and W2 cut-in delay, press and hold the SET and DN buttons (H) simultaneously. When delay time appears in the display, release the buttons and immediately press the DN button and hold until the desired delay time is displayed, and release. To verify the change, press and hold the SET and DN buttons until the delay time is shown, and release.

ADVANCED FEATURE CONFIGURATION Occupied / Unoccupied fan operation The factory setting for FAN operation is AUTO, with the FAN jumper (I) on the middle and lower pins. In this setting, the fan circuit on “G” is only energized on an active cool call in Gas/Electric mode or on an active heat call or cool call in Heat Pump mode.
ADVANCED FEATURE CONFIGURATION 1. Determine which thermostat address is to have an additional one or two votes. 2. Place the PRIORITY jumper (F) on both pins. 3. Press and hold the SET and UP buttons (H), and the LED display will scroll through the number of zones starting with 01.

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.
BYPASS INSTALLATION INSTALLATION The round and rectangular bypass damper can be installed in any position. Do not run speed screws into damper housing. Screws may interfere with damper travel. 1. Install the bypass damper between the supply and return plenums of the unit. It must be the first tap off the supply plenum.

INTEGRATED PRESSURE CONTROL SETUP 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. If the system is configured for intermittent fan mode and the system satisfies, there will be a 3-minute delay to allow for system purge, after which the bypass damper will open to 25%, preventing noisy rush of air through supply registers when fan starts up on a call for heat or cool.
