Non-inherently current limiting transformers must have field provided over-current protection on the secondary 24 vac output. The table values 
provided pertain to genuine ULTRAZONE Dampers and Competitors typical 24 vac Spring loaded dampers. Included in these VA load ratings are the 
correct number of thermostats, the UZC4 Zone System, and a 5% field factor. Spring loaded dampers draw higher currents & require more power.

Unlike previous models, the UZC4 series allows

 “Damper Motor Power Isolation” 

on the Main and Expansion 

modules. The Main Module’s motor blocks can be isolated only if necessary, but the Expansion module motor blocks 
must be powered by a separate transformer. This advanced design provides automatic 2.5amp over-current 
protection for each Expansion module motor block and allows a maximum 60va transformer to be connected. This 
means that you can directly connect a theoretical maximum of 12 Genuine ND/URD dampers to a single 2 zone 
expansion module. Now you no longer have to isolate & power up multiple dampers using field installed relays. The 
Expansion modules provide the isolation for you. See the diagram below for typical wiring solutions for dampers.

SERVICE NOTE: Additional power for adding dampers to the main UZC4 module, is accomplished by cutting  the “J2” jumper and powering 
MXR & MXC with a separate 24vac 40va power transformer. These terminals are not to be used to power up expansion modules.
