Some HVAC manufacturers are designing HVAC Systems 
with 5 - 18 vdc control circuits. Standard 24 vac thermostats 
will not work on these systems. These systems can only be 
controlled with their own thermostat. But the 

SYSTEM

 

connections on a UZC4 are all dry contacts! Virtually any  
HVAC  low   voltage control circuit can be connected and 
controlled. All you have to do is ask the manufacturer which 
numbered terminals correspond to the standard terminals.

Note that you can route a Common wire back to the 
“System” terminal block, but it should 

never

 be 

connected!  Use it as a TEST point while 
troubleshooting. It should be marked as such and remain 
capped off when not in use!

LUXAIRE  High Efficiency “Acclimate” Heat 
Pump System. Refer to Mfr’s data for 
specific equipment dip switch settings and 
logical program settings. Set up the UZC4 to 
control the staging based on “Time” with 
single stage Conventional Thermostats. Or 
you can install 3 stage Heat Pump 
Thermostats on all zones.

High Efficiency
Heat Pump. 
3 or 4  Stage Heat 
and 2 Stage Cool

Warning: 
All of the wiring diagrams provided are general in 
nature and may not perfectly match your particular 
application. This is due to differences in the HVAC 
Mfr’s terminal designations and functions!   
Variations on these diagrams and other System or 
Thermostat applications are available by 
contacting the EWC Technical Support Hotline, or 
visit our web site at

HEAT PUMP EMERGENCY OPERATIONS:

Any Thermostat can demand Emergency Mode!

 

When emergency mode is activated, the UZC4 will 
energize the   “E” output terminal and the “W1” terminal. 
The “W2” terminal will also energize after a 3 minute 
delay. 

There is no need to jumper the “E” terminal to the 

“W” terminals.

 The UZC4 does this to ensure that the 

Emergency backup system energizes, regardless of 
which terminal it is connected to. In fact, the design of 
the UZC4 encourages you to separate up to three (3) 
electric strip banks, preventing large in-rush currents 
when all banks are tied together. This will also reserve at 
least one bank dedicated for Emergency mode and De-
humidify/Reheat operations .
Make sure that you have correctly selected either “Dual 
Fuel” or “Conventional” Heat Pump to obtain the proper 
staging operations for your particular system.
