Installation

Step 1: Mounting the Zone Panel

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.

Diagram Description: An illustration depicting the HZ221 TrueZONE panel mounted near HVAC equipment. It shows options for wall mounting (ZONE PANEL WALL MOUNT) and duct mounting (ZONE PANEL DUCT MOUNT). The diagram illustrates the placement relative to a BYPASS DAMPER, DATS sensors (with an alternate location indicated), SUPPLY DUCT, and RETURN DUCT.

Step 2: Attaching the Base

Separate the zone panel cover from the base. 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).

Note: Use two screws for attaching to a stud or roof truss, or four screws for duct or drywall/plaster installations.

Diagram Description: A diagram showing the zone panel cover separated from its base. It indicates using two screws for stud/roof truss mounting or four screws for duct/drywall/plaster installations.

Wiring

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.

Step 3: Install Thermostats

Install thermostats using instructions provided with the thermostats. Connect the thermostat to the zone panel. To connect wire to the panel, strip approximately 1/4 in. of insulation and push wire into the terminal. To release wire, press the button on top of the terminal. In retrofit applications, trim the end of the wire if it is not straight.

If the thermostat has separate E and Aux terminals, install a jumper between the two 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.

Diagram Description: Wiring diagrams show connections for a thermostat to the zone panel, including terminals R, C, E/AUX, Y, G, O/B, L. It also shows connections for a Zone 2 thermostat and dampers (ARD/ZD, RRD/MARD).

Step 4: Install Dampers

Install dampers using instructions provided with the dampers. Connect dampers to the zone panel. Multiple dampers can be wired in parallel.

Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate wiring for ARD/ZD (Spring-open, Power-closed) and RRD/MARD (Power-open, Power-closed) dampers, showing connections to the zone panel.

Step 5: Connect DATS

Connect the Discharge Air Temperature Sensor (DATS) as shown.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows the connection of the DATS sensor to the zone panel.

Step 6: Connect Equipment

Connect equipment as shown. The DS/BK terminal is used with a variable-speed fan. Connect to the DS, BK, or ODD terminal on the furnace equipment. When only one zone calls for heat, cool, or fan, the DS/BK terminal operates the fan at low speed to reduce airflow.

Diagram Description: Wiring diagrams show connections for the Air Handler, 24 Volt Transformer, Heat Pump (including reversing valve), and Fan Relay. It shows how these connect to the zone panel terminals, including the DS/BK terminal for variable-speed fans.

Step 7: Connect Transformer

Connect the transformer as shown.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a dedicated transformer connected to the zone panel.

Overall Wiring Diagram

The following diagram is an overall view of wiring for a heat pump system as depicted in steps 3–7.

Diagram Description: A comprehensive schematic showing the complete system wiring, integrating the zone panel, thermostats, dampers, DATS, and HVAC equipment for a heat pump system. It details connections for Zone 1 and Zone 2 thermostats and dampers, DATS, and equipment terminals like HEAT, COOL, FAN, EM HEAT, PURGE, and OEM HEAT.

Operation

The HZ221 TrueZONE panel contains an LED display that communicates system and zone status. The LEDs indicate the following information:

LEDDescription
HEATSolid 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.
COOLSolid when in cool. Blinking when 45°F (7°C) DATS low limit mode has been reached.
FANSolid when in operation.
PURGESolid 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 shorted or open. Will blink for 3 minutes at power-up if DATS is not present.
ZONE 1, 2Solid green when open or opening. Solid red when closed or closing. Blinking amber when there is a damper or thermostat short circuit (circuit breaker trip).
EM HEATSolid when in Em Heat mode.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows the HZ221 panel with its LED indicators labeled (HEAT, COOL, FAN, PURGE, ZONE 1, ZONE 2, EM HEAT).

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 button 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.

Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the EMERGENCY HEAT/PURGE OVERRIDE button and DATS connections.
