Zone Control Board Jumper Settings
Setup is required to allow the zone control system to con-
trol equipment staging and deliver the proper amount of
CFM to the zones. Only qualified technicians should per-
form equipment setups.
The zone control board jumper banks (see figure 10) deter-
mine how the system is configured to function.

Static electrical discharge will damage electronics.
Discharge static electricity before touching the zone
control board. Touch a grounded metal object be-
fore touching the circuit board.
Percent Into Adjustment Band (PIAB)
Jumpers
The adjustment band is the difference between the mini-
mum and maximum CFM rating of the air handler. The
zone control system allows the technician to direct an ap-
propriate percentage of that air volume to each zone. Vol-
ume settings must be selected for zone 1 and at least one
other zone (see figure 11). Unused zones must have jump-
er(s) set on OFF. Jumper settings range from 0% to 100%.

When jumpers are set to 0%, this corresponds to the mini-
mum air volume available according to the air handler
installation instructions,
not 0% of maximum air.
This is
the Percentage Into Adjustment Band of the motor (PIAB).
For example, if an air handler has a minimum air volume of
800 CFM, and a maximum of 1500 CFM, and the jumper is
set to 0%, the air delivered will be 800 CFM. See figure 12.

Similarly, if the jumper is set to obtain 50%, the air handler
will deliver: 0.50*(1500−800) + 800 = 1150 CFM. That is:
zone jumper setting * (the CFM adjustment range of the
motor) + the minimum motor CFM = CFM delivered.
Determine Air Selection Jumper Settings
1. Use a cooling load analysis to determine the required
CFM for each zone.
2. Determine the minimum CFM for the indoor unit.
NOTE − A PIAB Calculation Worksheet has been pro-
vided on Page 30. This will guide you through the cal-
culations and document the zone control system PIAB
settings. Complete this worksheet before going to the
job site to facilitate the installation process.
3. Using the formula in Table 4 and the worksheet at the
back of this manual, calculate the Percent Into Adjust-
ment Band (PIAB) using the values from steps 1 and
2 for each zone. This illustrates how to determine the
correct jumper for the PIAB for Zone 1, given the fol-
lowing assumptions:
