3 Zone Multi Stage Heat Pump Control Panel

The ZP3-HPS is a residential / light commercial zone control system that allows a single HVAC unit to have up to three separate zones. Each zone is controlled by its own space thermostat and motorized zone damper. If a zone thermostat calls for heating or cooling, the zones not calling will have their dampers powered closed, and the zone calling will have its damper opened. The heating or cooling equipment will also be brought on at the same time. When the zone calling is satisfied, the heating or cooling equipment turns off. If one zone calls for heating and another zone calls for cooling, the first zone to call receives priority. When the first call is satisfied, the system will changeover and take care of the opposite call. If a one being served (heating or cooling) has not been satisfied within 20 minutes while an opposite call is taking place, the system will changeover. When the zone is satisfied or 20 minutes has elapsed, the system will again changeover if an opposite call exists. This is referred to as Auto Changeover - First Call Priority - Time Share. In the event of a tie, cooling will receive priority. The changeover valve only changes position when the mode of operation changes. Features: * Auto changeover * First call priority with time share * Electronic discharge air sensor (sold separately) * LED status indication * Independent fan control by zone * Short cycle protection * Works with 2 or 3 wire zone dampers * Purge cycle option (ZP3 panels only)
