How the Ultra-Zone System Works
The purpose of the Ultra-Zone system is to provide total comfort in the home and office. Motorized dampers are "opened" or "closed" by thermostats based on the temperature set point of the homeowner. The damper system will control the airflow through the ductwork and deliver ONLY the desired air to the desired location. Each thermostat has the ability to turn on and shut off the heating and cooling. The Ultra-Zone system can accommodate over 30 zones. This means that over 30 thermostats can be installed in a home or building to control the temperature in each zone.There are very few Ultra-Zone components that are needed to make the zoning system function. The control panel is the "brain" of the system. The zone thermostats allow independent temperature control and the zone dampers control the airflow to the zone thermostats. A transformer is needed to power the system and occasionally a by-pass damper may be required.
The basic components of an Ultra-Zone system are:
| 1) A Control Panel | 4) Dedicated Transformer |
| 2) Zone Thermostats | 5) By-pass Damper (If necessary) |
| 3) Zone Dampers |
Along with some thermostat wire, these are the only components that are needed to install an Ultra-Zone system. The above diagram shows a typical installation with all of the components needed for a zoning system.
