2. OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing the iQ Zonesystem. As one of the most advanced systems on the
market, it provides you with the most comfortable temperature for each room or group of rooms
independently.
When the system is installed in your home, all of the individual spaces are grouped into two to
eight separate zones. Each zone typically includes at least one room and several supply
registers. The controls installed with the system have been configured to reflect this zone
grouping. Each zone has also been assigned a “weight” which roughly indicates its percentage
of the overall home floor space.
The system is provided with one thermostat in each zone so that you can set the desired
temperature and other features.
iQ Zone allows you to:
9 Turn off the cooling and/or heating of empty
rooms so that you can use energy efficiently .
9
iQ Zone takes advantage of the location and
environment of each room . For instance, a
room that is situated in a shaded area requires
less cooling power in order to lower the room’s
temperature, while rooms exposed to full
sunlight, usually require less power to heat
them up.
9 iQ Zone uses one iQ controller, and several
small thermostats, which have unobtrusive
and simple designs with low visual impact
so that they do not affect the decoration style
of your home.
3. IQ CONTROLLER
Every iQ Zone system has one iQ Controller as well as local zone thermostats. Note that you
always have the choice between operating the system by zones as described in this document,
or operating as a single entity like a typical non-zoned system (by temporarily disabling zone
control operation). See iQ Drive User’s Manual for details of its operation.
