Installation and Operation Manual
Model WZ1
Application
SYSTEM
FAN
The WZ1-T is a battery powered, auto-changeover thermostat
that communicates via an RF wireless data link to a damper
control module located on the Zone One™ damper. The
system is designed to prevent overheating and overcooling of
individual zones. Up to 8 WZ1 thermostat controlled dampers
can be used in the same location.
Sequence of operation
An automatic changeover duct sensor located on the damper
senses whether there is warm air or cool air in the branch
supply duct. If the Zone One™ thermostat is calling for cooling
and the duct sensor determines there is cool air in the duct, the
damper will power open; otherwise, the damper will remain
closed. If the Zone One™ thermostat is calling for heating and
the duct sensor determines there is warm air in the duct, the
damper will power open; otherwise, the damper will remain
closed. The relay control module has LED indication to confirm
mode of operation and damper position.

Location
The thermostat should be located in the area being controlled by the zone damper and away from the HVAC unit
thermostat. Do not install the thermostat in an area where drafts are present, near the floor, behind doors or on an
external wall. Avoid placing the thermsotat in areas where the air movement is limited, affected by direct sunlight or other
areas not typical of the temperature in the space.

Removing the Subbase
Hold the subbase with one hand, press the case as shown below and pull the bottom of the thermostat from the subbase.
Press here to release
case from subbase.

Installing the Subbase
The thermostat should be installed approximately 5 feet above the floor. Level the subbase for appearance and use the
wall anchors and screws provided.

Thermostat Installer Options
The installer options can be accessed by pressing and holding the ENTER key for seven seconds. The LCD displays
Option 01 for setting the Zone number.
(See Installer Options Chart)
Press or hold the NEXT key to advance to the next option. The LCD will advance through to Option 09 and then return to
Option 01.
Press the ENTER key to save all options in non-volatile memory.
If only one wireless thermostat and damper control module are used in an application, the thermostat can be left with the
factory default setting of Zone = 01
If multiple wireless thermostats and damper control modules are used that are less than 500 feet away from one another,
each thermostat must be set to a different Zone number. For convenience, set the Installer Options with the thermostat
off the subbase and in easy access of its damper control module.

Setting the Zone Number
If more than one WZ1 is used in the same application, each thermostat and module must be assigned a different
communications address. Use the UP and DOWN keys to set the zone number for each thermostat in the system. The
maximum number that can be used in the same building is eight.

Programming the Module
If there is only one WZ-1 installed, it is not necessary to program the address as the thermostat and damper
control module default address is Zone 01.
After selecting the Zone number for the thermostat, the same address must be programmed into the damper control
module. Remove the cover on the module and apply 24 Volts power. Press the PROGRAM ENABLE button. The
module will accept a new address for thirty seconds. The LED on the module will alternately blink red and green while it is
waiting for a new address. When the module accepts the address, the LED will begin to flash green confirming
communications with the thermostat.
