allows conditioning of different zones within a residence while using a single HVAC
system. The zone control system operates in two modes: central control (vacation
mode) or zone control. LEDs on the zone control panel indicate the current
operating mode.
When the system is in the central control mode, a demand from the central control
thermostat results in conditioned air being directed to all of the zones. In this mode,
zone 1 thermostat is designated as the controlling thermostat; other thermostats
are not used. When the system is in the zone control mode, a zone is conditioned
only upon demand from that zone’s thermostat. The zone control system is ideal for
retrotapplicationsaswellasnewconstruction.Thesystemcontrolstheairvolume,
eliminating the need for bypass dampers in most applications. The homeowner
controls the system using zone thermostats to make comfort settings for each
zone. A programmable thermostat should be used to provide a specialized heating
and cooling sequence. While the system is in the zone mode, a programmable
thermostat controls the temperature for its particular zone.

1.6. System Components
The Harmony III zoning system consists of the following (required):
• Harmony III zoning system zone control panel (included)
• Discharge Air sensor (included)
• Thermostats (one for each zone; ordered separately)
• 24VAC Power Transformer(s) (ordered separately)
• Dampers (ordered separately)
• Pressure Switch and Tee with Schrader valve (for Heat Pump systems; ordered
separately)
