General Description
The Z440 ZOLAR System is the ultimate in antifreeze controls for the carwash industry. ZOLAR cycles the weep water
for your bays, controls blow down for your low pressure/foam products, and turns on a floor heat system, equipment
room heater, or even your air conditioner in the summer. Zolar includes an output to control the FB880 Foam Blower to
purge the Foam Brush lines. The Auto-Dialer option alerts you to power outage or freezing conditions.
Specifications
Power Supply: 115VAC @ 7VA (230VAC optional)
Relay Outputs: 3A continuous, 8A inrush @ 24VAC to 240VAC, each with NO & NC contacts.
Output Protection: Plug replaceable fuses and Varistor spike clamping for low interference and long contact life.
Temperature Probe: ±0.2°C accuracy, 0.2°C / 0.5°F display resolution, ¼" OD x 4.0" stainless steel sheath.
Light Probe: ± 5% accuracy 1% to 100% full sunlight (8,500 ft.cdl), 3/8"OD x 1.5" HDPE silicone sealed case.
Internal Time Clock: Battery backed clock chip with 10 year life and "low battery" warning message.
Enclosure: 9.75" x 6.88" x 2.88", polycarbonate, sealed cover, #8 mounting screws at 9.125" x 6.187"
Optional Configurations and Accessories
115VAC or 230VAC Power Configuration is specified at the time of your order. A checkbox on the enclosure
cover label near the input power terminals indicates the configuration of the unit.
Expanded Output Option. One each Weep and Auxiliary Outputs are included in the Standard Configuration. One
each additional Weep and Auxiliary outputs may be added to the Standard Configuration to provide sensing and control
for larger carwashes having additional functions or services. When the Expanded Output Option is installed there will
be a second connector installed for its sensor inputs and relay outputs.
FB880 Foam Blower. The FB880 Foam Blower performs the control function of blowing down the foam brush
hoses during freezing weather by activating up to eight separate air and or antifreeze solenoids with a timed series of
electrical pulses.
Z440TP Temperature Probe. One Z440TP Temperature Probe is included with the Standard Configuration and one
additional Z440TP is included in the Expanded Output Option. Both the Standard Configuration and the Expanded
Output Option can each have a second temperature probe to provide additional functionality, or to sense weep
temperature at in two separated locations. The probe comes with 50 feet of PVC cable standard, other lengths optional.
Z440LP Light Probe. The Standard Configuration and the Expanded Output Option each allow for two sensor
inputs, the second of which may be the Z440LP Light Probe for sensing the ambient light to control exterior building
lights or other security functions. The probe comes with 50 feet of PVC cable standard, other lengths optional.

  • Page 1 Zolar System Z440 Installation & Operation Instructions Rev 11/04 General Description The Z440 ZOLAR System is the ultimate in antifreeze controls for the carwash industry. ZOLAR cycles the weep water for your bays, controls blow down for your low pressure/foam products, and turns on a floor heat system, equipment room heater, or even your air conditioner in the summer.
  • Page 2 To avoid repeated nuisance calls for the same problem, once activated, it will not re-activate until all trigger sources have maintained a clear state for at least one continuous hour. Wiring information will be provided with the Auto Dialer when purchased from IDX. Foam Blower Output The Foam Blower output is controlled by the lower reading of Temperature Sensor #1 and #3, where Temperature Sensor #3 is optional and will be ignored if not installed.
  • Page 3: Status Display

    Status Display Zolar uses a bright LED dot matrix display to continuously scroll easy to read status messages. These messages include the time of day, the temperature of all connected temperature sensors, the current ambient light intensity (if installed), and how many days have elapsed since the last cold event and since the last power outage. The time of day is presented in a 12-hour format, where an extra LED dot to the left of the time is illuminated to indicate PM.
  • Page 4 TEMP UNITS: °F +/Yes This prompt indicates that Zolar is currently configured to display all temperatures degrees Fahrenheit. Use the -/No Next keys to toggle between the °F and °C format. Once the desired units are displayed, press the key to save the temperature format and proceed to the next item in Configuration Menu.
  • Page 5 If LIGHT is selected, the next prompt displays a light intensity set point: LIGHT TRIP: 0.7% The Light Probe is connected to the Sensor #2 input and is calibrated to produce a reading of 100% in direct sunlight on a clear summer day at mid latitudes. There is generally sufficient light to wash cars down to about 0.5% of full sunlight intensity.
  • Page 6: Serial Data Port

    Most all autodialers on the market will work with this type of output as it is compatible with a N.O. relay or switch contact. IDX recommends one of the two autodialers below… or their successor models. The manuals for these products can be downloaded from the IDX Web site from the Autodialer page.
