A.7 - Zone Controller Wiring and Install
Zone Controller Wiring
The DriveRack Zone Controllers, (ZC-1, ZC-2, ZC-3, ZC-4) can be wired serially or in parallel. To
wire in series each Zone Controller must have an identification or zone number chosen using the DIP
switches on the side of the controller (see diagram A). Each controller must have a unique number
chosen although there may be multiple Zone Controllers controlling a single zone, or a single Zone
Controller that controls multiple outputs. The Zone Controllers can then be wired together and
connected to the DriveRack (see diagram B).
The Zone Controllers may also be wired in parallel with the use of the ZC-BOB. To wire in parallel
(home run cabling), each controller must have a unique identification or number chosen using the DIP
switches on the rear of the panel (see diagram A). To wire in parallel, each controller must be wired into
a port of the ZC-BOB with a connecting wire going to the DriveRack (see diagram C).
Zone Controller Installation
The installation of the Zone Controllers MUST be accomplished with the use of cable which is rated
VW-1 or higher. Common NEC designations which meet this rating include: CMP, CMR, CMG, CM
and CMX.
ZC-1
The ZC-1 is a programmable zone controller that allows volume level control from a wall panel.
ZC-2
The ZC-2 is a programmable zone controller that allows volume level and mute control from a wall
panel.
ZC-3
The ZC-3 allows wall panel program selection for the 220i.
ZC-4
The ZC-4 provides contact closure program selection for room combining or fire safety applications
applications.
ZC-BOB
The ZC-BOB allows parallel or home run cabling of the Zone Controllers.
