The UZC4 Universal Zone Control System allows you to easily 
upgrade an inefficient single zone HVAC system, into an 
Automated, Multi-zone, Energy saving, Comfort producing, 
Safety Minded, HVAC system. With Superior design, Intuitive 
firmware, Building Code Compliant support, Simple setup 
options, and Easy to understand wiring, the UZC4  Zoning 
system is the Designer/Contractors dream. Combined with 
Patented EWC motorized dampers and practically any Off-the-
shelf Conventional or Heat Pump style Thermostats,        

EWC has set a New Industry Standard in Large 
Residential and Commercial HVAC Air Zoning Systems.

The main module controls four air zones 
using 24 vac motorized air dampers and 
may be expanded up to 

22

 zones, using 

ZXM2 Expansion Modules. 

See page 23.

The UZC4 will Control 2, 3 & 4 stage 
Conventional, GeoThermal or Dual Fuel 
Heat pumps, 

without the need for dual 

fuel kits. 

 Also single or multi-stage Gas, 

Oil, & Hydronic HVAC systems, with 
single or two stage cooling and Constant 
or Variable speed fan systems.

Compatible with most Off the shelf 1 or 2 
stage Conventional Heat/Cool or Heat 
Pump Thermostats. All Mechanical, 
Digital/Electronic, Dual Mode, and Internet 
Compatible Thermostats that operate on 
24vac. Battery powered or Power robbing 
thermostats that draw less than 20 ma of 
current are also compatible. Zone 1 will 
accept One Zone Mode, Carbon Dioxide 
Safety and Auxiliary/Dehumidify mode 
inputs. See pages 9-11 & 14-17  for details.

The UZC4 Zone system features 
automatic changeover from any 
thermostat allowing for individual zone 
comfort from the HVAC system.

The STATUS LED pulses as a steady 
heart beat to indicate active Micro- 
processor status. 
On board Multi-colored LED’s will 
illuminate to indicate system status, 
HVAC system mode,  and active / inactive 
zone identification.     

See page 22 for details

.

Damper 1 thru Damper 22 green LEDs 
will indicate which zone dampers are 
demanded to energize Open or Closed.

The main UZC4 module has a Manual 
Reset circuit breaker with a Ground 
Fault Indicator that protects all 
connected modules and thermostat 
circuitry. All modules have separate 
damper motor Thermal Breakers too. 
They protect the damper motor circuitry 
from shorts in the field wiring. The 
breakers will not protect against shorts 
in the HVAC system wiring. 

CAUTION: 

When the thermal 

breaker is tripped it will get quite 
hot. To reset the breaker: 

Shut off 

power to the panel. Find and repair 
the short. Restore the 24VAC power. 

TEMPERATURE:

 -20° to 160°F (-29° to 71°C)

HUMIDITY: 

0% - 95% RH Non-Condensing.

The UZC4 allows constant operation of 
the Indoor Fan by Thermostat #1 only, or 
by each individual thermostat. When 
controlled by thermostat #1, All Zone 
dampers will respond. When controlled 
individually, Zones not calling  for 
continuous   fan will close.
