WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC 

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE 

THE FOLLOWING:

1.  Use this unit only in the manner 

intended by the manufacturer.  If 

you have any questions, contact the 

manufacturer.

2.  Before servicing or cleaning the unit, 

switch power off at service panel and 

lock service panel to prevent power 

from being switched on accidentally.  

When the service disconnecting 

means cannot be locked, securely 

fasten a prominent warning device, 

such as a tag, to the service panel.

3.  To reduce the risk of fire and electric 

shock, the integral damper end 

switch should only be used to 

switch ventilation equipment rated 

Maximum 10A, 1/2 HP.

4.  Sufficient air is needed for proper 

combustion and exhausting of 

gases through the flue (chimney) of 

fuel-burning equipment to prevent 

backdrafting. Follow the heating 

equipment manufacturer's guidelines 

and safety standards, such as those 

published by the National Fire 

Protection Association (NFPA), and 

the American Society of Heating, 

Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning 

Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local 

code authorities. 

5.  I n addition to the following 

manufacturer’s instructions, it is 

necessary to comply with federal, 

state, and local government codes.  

Your purchase of this American 

Aldes ventilation system represents 

an investment in the health and 

comfort of the occupants, as well as 

an investment in the protection of the 

building from the damaging effects of 

excessive indoor humidity. 

CAUTION

1.  For general ventilating use only. Do not 

use to exhaust hazardous or explosive 

materials and vapors.

2.  Automatically operated device. To 

reduce the risk of injury, disconnect 

from power supply before servicing.

3.  ZRT-IL is acceptable for use over a 

tub or shower when installed in a 

GFCI-protected circuit. If wired directly 

to the fan or ZRT-IL, a single Ground 

Fault Protector on the 120 VAC common 

power supply must be used to protect 

all devices on the same circuit.

SYSTEM DESIGN

Satisfactory performance of a central 

ventilation system requires: 

• 

Proper integration of all the components, 

compatible grilles,  and wall/roof caps; 

• 

Proper duct design for friction losses;  

• 

Consideration of acoustic and vibration 

properties of the fan and its mounting;

• 

Acoustic properties of the grilles; 

• 

Consideration of the mode of operation, 

whether continuous or automatically 

controlled by dehumidistat, timer,  or 

occupancy sensor;  

• 

Installation in a heated or unheated 

space, with consideration for the 

potential of condensation in the ducting 

or fan housing.  

Inspect the carton upon receipt to ensure 

the terminal has not been damaged in 

transit. If damaged, it is the responsibility 

of the recipient to file a damage claim with 

the carrier. American ALDES Ventilation 

Corporation is not responsible for damage 

incurred during shipment.

Handle the unit with care to prevent 

damage to the housing and other 

components. Store the unit indoors if 

possible. If outdoor storage is required, 

protection against moisture and dirt is 

necessary.

DESCRIPTION

American Aldes patented* Zone Register 

Terminals (ZRT

®) 

are designed to introduce 

flexibility and dynamic control to central 

ventilation systems.  Used in both large and 

small systems, the ZRT-IL

 

zonally regulates 

ventilation where it is required without the 

need for individual fans.  Each ZRT-IL is a 

combination register box, control damper, 

removable access plate, and optional flow 

regulator(s).  This unique combination 

provides up to three different control 

schemes without the need for expensive 

pneumatic, electronic, or DDC control 

systems.     

The ZRT-IL can be ordered in a supply 

or exhaust ventilation configuration. To 

ensure the proper operation of the damper 

assembly, do not exceed 1.0 in. w.g. of 

differential pressure across the damper 

door.
