RECOMMENDED THERMOSTATS, DAMPERS, AND ACCESSORIES
The following are suggested thermostats, dampers, and accessories for use with the TrueZONE panel.

Table 1. Recommended Thermostats. 
Compatible thermostats*
TH4210U2002 (Programmable or non-programmable)
TH6210U2001 (Programmable or non-programmable)
TH6220U2000 (Programmable or non-programmable)
TH6320U2008 (Programmable or non-programmable)
TH6220WF2006 (Wi-Fi)
TH6320WF2003 (Wi-Fi)
TH8321WF1001 (Wi-Fi)
THX321WFS2001W (Wi-Fi)
* Note: The HZ221 supports a heat pump with either a heat or cool reversing valve, but the thermostats MUST be configured for a heat pump with cool reversing valve to correctly communicate to the zone panel.

Table 2. Recommended Dampers.

Type Damper Round Rectangular
Zone Spring-open/ power-closed ARD ZD
Zone Power-open/ power-closed MARD/RRD  
Bypass Static pres- sure regulating damper CPRD  

Table 3. Maximum Dampers.*

Ambient Temp. Maximum Damper VA per Zone
100°F (38°C) 28.8
160°F (71°C) 16.8

* Use an SDCR (Slave Damper Control Relay) for additional dampers.
Maximum dampers per panel is limited by transformer size.
Ensure the transformer is large enough to power the panel (6.25 VA) and dampers.

Table 4. Accessories.

* Included in HZ221K kit.

INSTALLATION

  1. Mount the HZ221 TrueZONE panel near the HVAC equipment; locate it on a wall, stud, roof truss, or cold-air return.
    NOTE: The HZ221 TrueZONE panel can be mounted in any orientation; level it for appearance only.
  2. Separate the zone panel cover from the base, and use the base as a template to drill mounting holes. Attach the base to the wall, stud, roof truss, or duct with appropriate screws (not included).
    Use two screws for attaching to a stud or roof truss, or four screws for duct or drywall/plaster installations. Wiring must comply with applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations.
    CAUTION: Voltage Hazard.
    Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect power before beginning installation. Wire entire panel before applying transformer power.
  3. Install thermostats using instructions provided with thermostats.
    Connect thermostat to zone panel. To connect wire to the panel, strip approximately 1/4 in. of insulation and push wire into terminal. To release wire, press the button on top of the terminal. In retrofit applications, trim end of wire if not straight.
    If the thermostat has separate E and Aux terminals, install a jumper between the two terminals.
    Note: Thermostat must be configured for changeover in cool mode. If heat pump uses changeover in heat mode, wire the changeover to B on equipment terminals.Wires can be run behind the panel, through wire channels on the panel’s sides, and must be attached to a wiring anchor with a cable tie.
  4. Install dampers using instructions provided with dampers. Connect dampers to zone panel.
    NOTE: Multiple dampers can be wired in parallel.
  5. Connect DATS as shown.
  6. Connect equipment as shown.
  7. Connect transformer as shown.

    The following diagram is an overall view of wiring for a heat pump system as depicted in steps 3–7. Thermostats must be wired/configured for cool changeover “O”, even if equipment uses heat changeover “B.”

OPERATION

The HZ221 TrueZONE panel contains an LED display that communicates system and zone status. The LEDs indi-cate the following information.

Table 5. LED Operation.

LED Description
HEAT Solid when in heat.

Blinking when DATS temperature exceeds 120°F (49°C) and calling for heat pump only.

Blinking when DATS temperature exceeds 160°F

(71°C) and calling for heat pump and auxiliary heat. At 150°F (66°C), auxiliary heat is disabled.

COOL Solid when in cool. Blinking when 45°F (7°C) DATS low limit mode has been reached.
FAN Solid when in operation.
PURGE Solid when in purge (lasts 2 minutes at power-up and after a call for heat or cool). Blinking when the DATS sensor has failed, or the wires are short- ed or open. Will blink for 3 minutes at power-up if DATS is not present.
ZONE 1, 2 Solid green when open or opening. Solid red when closed or closing.

Blinking amber when there is a damper or ther- mostat short circuit (circuit breaker trip).

EM HEAT Solid when in Em Heat mode.

Much of this information is also listed on the label on the inside of the HZ221 cover.

When the zone panel cover is off, the EMERGENCY HEAT/PURGE OVERRIDE but-ton is visible.
When the panel is in Purge (at startup or after a call for heat/cool), pressing this button stops the Purge, which saves time during installation or troubleshooting.
All other times, pressing the button puts the zone panel into Em Heat mode so that all calls for heat are handled by the auxiliary heat.
