INTRODUCTION The SlimZone Classic (2701-001/2701-006) zone panel is designed to control conditioned air in separate zones using a single heating and cooling unit. Model 2701-001 controls up to 3 zones; model 2701-006 controls up to 2 zones. SlimZone is compatible with both single stage heating and cooling units and single compressor heat pumps with auxiliary heat.
All zones served by a panel should have the same basic load characteristics. References to typical dampers in this manual are Robertshaw model dampers. CAUTION •...
COMPONENT REQUIREMENTS BASIC SYSTEM The basic system consists of the main SlimZone Classic control panel and the components required to support it. ITEM QUANTITY CONSIDERATIONS 2701-001 or 2701-006 controls 3 or 2 zones 4 wire heat/cool thermostat 1 per zone use standard nonshielded 4 conductor 18AWG copper wire Motorized zone dampers...
TYPICAL SYSTEM DIAGRAM Not available with model 2701-006 Classic Figure 3.1: SlimZone Classic System Diagram SYSTEM INSTALLATION REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF DOOR Installer should touch a grounded metal object before handling the control panel to avoid potential loss of operation due to static discharge. The door is hinged on the left side. Open the door by gently pulling on the bottom right corner.
INSTALLATION OF BACKPLATE The control panel can be mounted on any interior surface. Use the mounting holes (Figure 4.1) to secure in place using the supplied #8 screws. Mount the control panel in a location that provides easy access for service. Do not mount the control panel on any part of the HVAC equipment or where moisture may be present.
The ambient temperature will have an impact on the Polyfuse current limiting protection. The maximum number of dampers that can be connected to the total system using Robertshaw dampers are: At 25ºC (77ºF) At 40ºC (104ºF)
4.6.3 MOTORIZED BYPASS DAMPERS Some systems may require a motorized bypass damper. Robertshaw 3 wire bypass dampers are independently controlled by the Robertshaw EPC-602 static pressure regulator. Mount the EPC-602 in a position so that the LEDs (light emitting diodes) are visible for checking operation, and mount the bypass damper so that it is accessible for wiring.
SYSTEM OPERATION INITIAL POWER UP When first powered up, the control panel will immediately process any fan calls from the zone thermostats but will ignore any heating or cooling calls for a maximum delay of 4 minutes. After the 4 minute minimum off delay has been satisfied, the control panel will then accept heating or cooling calls from the zone thermostats.
The following sequence is only applicable when the SlimZone Classic system is used in heat pump applications and the system is in the HEAT ONLY or AUTO mode of operation. The auxiliary heat in heat pump systems is controlled by an internal control panel timer. Whenever the heat pump is in the heating mode, the control panel will energize the auxiliary heat output if the heating call is not satisfied within 15 minutes.
LED STATUS INDICATION All relay outputs and system status can be verified at the control panel and are indicated by LEDs (light emitting diodes). Refer to Figure 4.2 for location of the LEDs. REFERENCE COLOR LOCATION FUNCTION POWER ON Green 24VAC terminal Panel is powered FAULT...
SETUP AND TEST Disconnect power to the equipment before pushing the time delay override button. Cooling Cycle: Set the cooling setpoints of all zone thermostats to their lowest setting. Note: Ensure that the remote switch selector for mode of operation is not set to Heat Only (if installed).
10. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION No heat/cooling in Zone thermostat(s) Set COOL/OFF/HEAT switch on the house thermostat(s) to the proper setting. Faulty heating/cooling equipment Troubleshoot equipment according to manufacturer’s instructions. Faulty thermostat Troubleshoot equipment according to manufacturer’s instructions. Replace if necessary.
11. GLOSSARY Auxiliary/Emergency Applies to heat pump applications only. If the call for heat is not satisfied Heat within 15 minutes, auxiliary heat is energized and will remain on until the call is satisfied. In the event of a heat pump compressor failure, emergency heat (EH) is activated through an EH switch located on the control panel.
WARRANTY Limited Two Year Warranty The manufacturer warrants to the original purchaser that its product and component parts will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two years from the date of purchase. Your dealer will provide free replacement of your panel upon proof of purchase. Exclusions This warranty does not apply in the event of misuse, abuse or as a result of unauthorized alterations or repairs.
