General Description 

The Z440 ZOLAR System is the ultimate in antifreeze controls for the carwash industry. ZOLAR cycles the weep water 
for your bays, controls blow down for your low pressure/foam products, and turns on a floor heat system, equipment 
room heater, or even your air conditioner in the summer. Zolar includes an output to control the FB880 Foam Blower to 
purge the Foam Brush lines. The Auto-Dialer option alerts you to power outage or freezing conditions.  
 

Specifications 

Power Supply:

 115VAC @ 7VA (230VAC optional) 

Relay Outputs:

 3A continuous, 8A inrush @ 24VAC to 240VAC, each with NO & NC contacts. 

Output Protection:

 Plug replaceable fuses and Varistor spike clamping for low interference and long contact life. 

Temperature Probe:

 ±0.2°C accuracy,  0.2°C / 0.5°F display resolution,  ¼" OD x 4.0" stainless steel sheath. 

Light Probe:

 ± 5% accuracy 1% to 100% full sunlight (8,500 ft.cdl), 3/8"OD x 1.5" HDPE silicone sealed case. 

Internal Time Clock:

 Battery backed clock chip with 10 year life and "low battery" warning message. 

Enclosure:

 9.75" x 6.88" x 2.88",  polycarbonate, sealed cover, #8 mounting screws at 9.125" x 6.187" 

 

Optional Configurations and Accessories 

„

 115VAC or 230VAC Power Configuration

 is specified at the time of your order. A checkbox on the enclosure 

cover label near the input power terminals indicates the configuration of the unit. 

„

 Expanded Output Option. 

One each Weep and Auxiliary Outputs are included in the Standard Configuration. One 

each additional Weep and Auxiliary outputs may be added to the Standard Configuration to provide sensing and control 
for larger carwashes having additional functions or services. When the Expanded Output Option is installed there will 
be a second connector installed for its sensor inputs and relay outputs. 

„

 FB880 Foam Blower. 

The FB880 Foam Blower performs the control function of blowing down the foam brush 

hoses during freezing weather by activating up to eight separate air and or antifreeze solenoids with a timed series of 
electrical pulses. 

„

 Z440TP Temperature Probe. 

One Z440TP Temperature Probe is included with the Standard Configuration and one 

additional Z440TP is included in the Expanded Output Option. Both the Standard Configuration and the Expanded 
Output Option can each have a second temperature probe to provide additional functionality, or to sense weep 
temperature at in two separated locations. The probe comes with 50 feet of PVC cable standard, other lengths optional.

 

 

„

 Z440LP Light Probe. 

The Standard Configuration and the Expanded Output Option each allow for two sensor 

inputs, the second of which may be  the Z440LP Light Probe for sensing the ambient light to control exterior building 
lights or other security functions. The probe comes with 50 feet of PVC cable standard, other lengths optional.
