 Simple Operation Assures Comfort

Your zoning system is simple to operate and requires no maintenance.

The system will allow you to increase your comfort by directing conditioned air to separate areas
(zones) based upon each zones’ thermostat setting. It provides the opportunity to conserve energy
by adjusting the thermostat setting in unoccupied areas to energy saving levels.

To operate the system, just set or program each zones’ thermostat to your desired comfort and/
or set-back settings. When there is a call for heating or cooling from any zone, the appropriate
heating or cooling equipment will be turned on. The dampers in zones not requiring heating or
cooling will close and the conditioned air will be directed to the calling zone(s) until the thermostat
is satisfied.

The system responds to each thermostat on a first-call/ first-serve basis unless your contractor has
programmed an alternate priority approach to deal with concurrent heat and cool calls with your
application. The system can be set to an Automatic Priority (first-call/ first-serve), Heat Priority,
Cool Priority or a Zone Weight Priority setting. Please refer to page 17 or consult your contractor
for more details regarding the priority option programmed for your system.

When there is not an active call for heating or cooling, you may circulate air in individual zones by
selecting the “Fan ON” function on each individual thermostat. The dampers in zones with the fan
set to “Auto” will close.

Please feel free to learn more about the installation and operation of the Arzel HeatPumPro by
reviewing this entire manual. Consult your installing contractor with any questions regarding system
operation. If questions are still unresolved, you may call Arzel’s technical support Monday-Friday
8 a.m.-6 p.m. EST. Please have your system serial number available when you call. Arzel support
can be reached by calling 1-800-611-8312.

 Product Overview
The HeatPumPro is a non-proprietary, residential and light commercial zoning system, designed for
heat pump or standard heat/cool control. Innovative features provide the opportunity to customize the
control to meet the needs of any forced air system and maximize its efficiency and effectiveness.

Pro-Active Staging
The system will automatically “stage-up” to avoid the feel of “cold blow”, when the heat pump‘s capacity
is not sufficient to provide heated discharge air. The user will not have to wait for the temperature
in the space to continue to fall before the equipment reacts. This feature also reduces or eliminates
the need for two-stage thermostats by measuring outdoor air temperature and controlling the staging
decision based on the calculated heating requirements.

Staging Based upon Zone Weight

The air handler or blower “stages” independently from the compressor and electric auxiliary heaters.
Zone Weight staging of the blower reduces or eliminates the need for a bypass and matches the
CFM to available ductwork. HeatPumPro can also slow the air handler speed to increase latent heat
removal during dehumidification cycles.

Broad Thermostat Compatibility

The HeatPumPro is compatible with any conventional 24VAC thermostat including wireless, auto/
manual changeover, programmable and non-programmable. Zone 1 will accept any heat/cool or heat
pump thermostat. A heat pump thermostat can be used on Zone 1 to provide convenient control of
emergency heat. Zones 2-4 must use standard four or five wire single-stage heat /cool thermostats
only.

Humidification and Dehumidification

With the addition of a simple humidistat the HeatPumPro can control a 24vac humidifier which includes
opening and closing a humidifier bypass damper. It can also control the system to act as a whole
house dehumidifier. Dehumidification with a separate dehumidistat will engage low stage cooling
(Y1) with low stage blower speed (G) and open all zone dampers. When used with equipment that
has a dehumidification function the HeatPumPro simply passes the dehumidify signal from Zone 1
through the output terminals.

Additional Built-in Controls

· Full function Dual Fuel control.
· Leaving Air Temperature settings (High/Low) provide equipment protection at reduced CFM
operation and stage down capacity control.
· Outdoor Air Temperature sensor provides an outdoor reset function, balance point control, auxiliary
resistant heat lock out and low ambient cooling lock out.

 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Read these instructions carefully.
Failure to follow them could damage the Arzel® Zoning System
and/or cause a hazardous condition.

WARNING
1. Disconnect the power supply to the HVAC system and the zoning system before making any wiring
connections to prevent the danger of electrical shock or equipment damage.

2. Be sure the HVAC manufacturer’s operating specifications are compatible with the Arzel zoning system.

3. All wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.

4. Use properly grounded tools, safety glasses and gloves when drilling or cutting sheet-metal ducts,
fiberglass or any hard objects.

CAUTION
1. The Arzel system is designed for indoor use only.

2. You must touch a grounded metal object before handling the control panel to avoid potential loss of
internal programs due to electrostatic discharge.

3. Install in ambient temperature between 40o F and 140o F in a non-condensing area.

4. Check all system operations after installation is complete.

5. The damper blade gently wipes the inside of the ductwork. Insert a sleeve inside any fiberglass, or
abraidable ductwork, so the blade does not abrade the materials into the air.

6. Leave these instructions with the installed system for future use.

7. There are both AC and DC terminals on the circuit board. Do not intermingle wires.

8. The purpose of the LAT (Leaving Air Temperature) control is to function as an “operating limit”. When set
per the instructions it will add additional capacity control and prevent the equipment from operating outside
the OEM’s specifications.

GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION:

A call from any zone thermostat will initiate HVAC equipment operation, position the solenoid air valve
to open the damper(s) for its zone. The mini pump is energized to automatically activate the dampers,
either open or closed, as required. Vacuum opens the dampers and pressure closes the dampers.
When a call is satisfied, dampers are held in place for 30 seconds after compressor only operations or
two minutes after auxiliary or backup heat operations. This will allow the residual conditioned air to be
delivered into last zone satisfied. The adjustable End of Cycle timer (0 to 180 seconds) will continue
to operate the pump to open all the zone dampers for a SofStart on the next cycle.

 Installation & Setup Instructions
1. Install Dampers/Run Tubing
Dampers install directly into new or existing ductwork. Orient the tube connection port so it is point-
ing upstream (toward the equipment). Install one main tubing run for each zone. Use connection
“T’s” for multiple dampers in a zone. Arzel recommends using a different color tube for each zone.
Note: Dampers should not be concealed behind a permanent barrier such as drywall without an ac-
cess panel.

2. Mount Control Panel

The control panel must be mounted in a non-condensing area where temperatures will not normally
o
exceed 140 F. DO NOT MOUNT PANEL ON DUCTWORK OR THE HVAC EQUIPMENT. The best
method is to attach a piece of 3/4” plywood to a stud wall or foundation. Hold the panel level on the
wall and mark the positions of the upper mounting holes. Drive two screws into the wall leaving the
heads at least 1/2” out. Set the panel over the screws. Drive two screws into the lower mounting
holes. Tighten the upper screws.

Note: Prior to making electrical connections, touch a mechanical ground to discharge static
electricity.

3. Connect Thermostats
Install a thermostat for each zone observing the terminal designations. Use 18 gauge, multi-con-
ductor, solid thermostat wire to connect the thermostats to the control panel. When using a heat
pump thermostat in Zone 1, “O” must be set to energize for cooling calls. Zones 2, 3 and 4 must be
non-heat pump models. Document the location of each thermostat connected to each zone on the
“Zone Layout” label on the side of the panel.

4. Connect Equipment
Use 18 gauge, multi-conductor, solid thermostat wire to connect the HVAC outputs located along the
top of the zone control panel to the HVAC equipment. Connect Y1, Y2 “Air Handler” to the blower or
furnace controls and the Y1, Y2 “Condenser” to the heat pump/air conditioner controls. The two “C”
terminals are for connection between the furnace/air handler transformer and the common circuit of
the heat pump/air conditioner controls.

5. Connect Transformer
Use 18 gauge, 2-conductor solid wire to connect the R and C power input terminals to the mount-
ing screws on the 40VAC self-resetting, plug-in transformer supplied with the Arzel Zoning System.
Plug in the transformer to any standard 120VAC receptacle. Note: The provided transformer also
provides surge protection. If you elect to not use the provided transformer proper power conditioning
is required or you warranty will be void.

6. Connect Sensors
1. Install the leaving air temperature sensor in the supply duct 12 to 18 inches from the
plenum and before any dampers.
2. Install the Outdoor Air Temperature sensor outdoors, preferably on the noth side of the
house, not in direct sunlight.
3. Wires must be connected to corresponding terminals, R-red, W-white and B-black.

7. Turn on Panel and Run the Set-Up Wizard

 LAT & OAT Sensor Installation
Installation Notes
• Both sensors are identical and can be used as either the LAT or OAT.
• Both sensors must be connected to the board for proper functionality, non-heat pump applications
do not require the OAT sensor to be located outside.
• If additional wire length is required on a sensor, up to 50 ft of 18-3 thermostat wire can be
added.
• Keep panel power “off” while connecting sensors to the board.
• The sensors have three conductors, (red, white, black) and must be wired to the appropriate (R,
W, B) terminals of the respective sensor terminals.

LAT Sensor Installation

• The sensor must be located in the supply trunk, downstream of the heat exchanger and cooling
coil and before any trunk dampers.
• Do not locate the sensor in an area that is in the direct line of site of the heat exchanger, cooling
coil or UV Lights, these locations can cause false readings.

OAT Sensor Installation

1. Choose a location:
• Out of direct sunlight Sensor location here
• Above maximum snow level
• That is accessible should service be required
• A location on the north side of the house is preferable

2. Drill a 5/16” access hole through the exterior wall aligned with one of
the pre-drilled holes on the back of the enclosure body. If the sensor
wire is to run along the outside of the structure, use opening located
at the bottom of the enclosure.

3. Mount the sensor enclosure level over the access hole with the
sensor opening on the back plate aligned with the 5/16” opening.
Fasten with appropriate screws being cautious not to over tighten,
flexing the box out of square.

4. Route the sensor lead into the sensor enclosure and fasten with the provided wire tie.

5. ALTERNATIVE SENSOR MOUNTING

• Sensor can be mounted inside the control section of the outdoor condensing unit.
• Ensure sensor is mounted in a location where its temperature reading will not be
influenced by the equipment.

An OAT sensor enclosure is provided to

protect the outdoor sensor from physical Outdoor
damage as well as snow, ice and solar heat
influence.

 Zone Weight Calculation
The following is an example of “Zone Weight” and “Air Handler Threshold” set-up to demonstrate the
functionality behind the settings you choose.

The application below is a two story home being served by four independent zones. The zone
weights are determined by simply dividing the number of runs in each zone by the total number of
runs in the system. Total zone weight does not need to add up to 100% and may, in fact, be over
or under weighted to produce the desired results.

Zone 1 Living area, 1st Fl (5-6” runs/20 = 25%)

Zone 2 Living area, 1st Fl (6-6” runs/20 = 30%)
Zone 3 Master Bdrm Suite, 2nd Fl (4-6” runs/20 = 20%)
Zone 4 Bedrooms, 2nd Fl (5-6” runs/20 = 25%)
Total: 20-6” runs

Y2 (High Stage) blower and W2 (High Stage) FF Furnace capacity will be engaged any time the
accumulated, served zone weight is equal to or greater than the AH Threshold setting in the Set-
Up Wizard.
Alternate “AH Threshold” setting for the above example:
A H Threshold Set-Point Stage-up occurs when:
100% All 4 Zones call together
80% Zones 1, 2 & 4 call together
70% Any 3 Zones call together
55% Zone 2 with either 1 or 4 call together

Zone weight settings should provide maximum airflow to zones calling, without creating objectionable air
noise at the reigsters. Since many systems serve a single zone the majority of the time, low stage energy
savings will be achieved.
11
 The Pro-Active approach to“Capacity”Staging
The HeatPumPro™ is outfitted with both a Leaving Air Temperature (LAT ) or discharge air sensor
and an Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) sensor.

During a heating cycle, the HeatPumProTM (HPP) monitors the Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) and
compares that temperature to a pre-determined “Heating Stage Threshold Temp”. The Htg Stg
Threshold Temp is determined for a 30 deg F outdoor temperature (ODT) and is continually reset as
the ODT fluctuates. This allows the HPP to demand a higher LAT as the ODT drops. For every one
degree drop in ODT below 30 deg F, the Htg Stg Threshold Temp is increased by 1/2 of a degree.

This feature has been designed to maintain zone by zone comfort while both minimizing high stage
operation and maximizing delivered air temperature. This patented stage control also allows the use
of simple single-stage thermostats, eliminating temperature drop required by 2-stage thermostats and
preventing the“cold-blow” phenomenon sometimes associated with heat pumps.

The HeatPumProTM is designed to control up to four stages of heat and two stages of cooling.

 Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) Controls
The LAT control stages down or cycles off the equipment to prevent operation beyond the equipment
manufacturers specifications. Set the LAT parameters, both high and low, in the Set-Up Wizard.

There are three LAT settings:

1. H.P. High LAT Setting - maximum allowable temperature for heat pump only operation. (Ignored
with furnace set-up.)
2. Aux. High Temperature Setting - heat pump plus backup or auxiliary heat. Furnace high limit
control.
3. Cooling LAT Setting - minimum discharge temperature in the cooling mode.

This graph shows how the heating LAT system operates. If the LAT Sensor reading exceeds its
set-point, the panel stages down one stage. If the temperature remains above the setting for three
more minutes then it stages down again. For all-electric units the system will stage down through all
four stages of heat (W2,W1,Y2,Y1).

For Dual Fuel (Hybrid) applications, the system steps down from Stage 3 (first stage burner) to a fan
only output to prevent reactivating heat pump operation with a hot heat exchanger.

NOTE: All LAT controls are to be used as operating controls only and are not intended to
take the place of factory limit controls. The LAT control setting must be set below the primary
factory protection level.

 Sequence of Operation
On a Call for Heat:
1. The thermostat will send the appropriate signal to the circuit board.
Zone 1= Y1, G or W Zone 2,3,4=W
2. The control panel pump will start and de-energize the solenoid for the zone that is calling.
3. The HPPro will consider the Balance Point (BP) setting if auxiliary heat is fossil fuel or Aux Balance
Point is set to True:
a. If the OAT is above the BP setting the Y1 and G signal will be sent to the air handler and a Y1
signal will be sent to the condenser (O will also be energized if set for Rev Valve Energized
in the Htg mode).
b. If the OAT is below the BP setting then the W1 will be energized to initiate back-up fuel
operation, W2 will be controlled by the zone weight logic.
c. If the BP setting is set for “Lock FF” then all heat calls will be served with a W1 output (fossil
fuel) regardless of the OAT. W2 will be controlled by the zone weight logic.
4. The LAT sensor will start to monitor the air in the supply plenum. The sensor will be looking for
the temperature set for the “Heat Stage Threshold” in the Set-Up Wizard less the outdoor reset
adjustment. The threshold temperature will raise 1/2° for every 1° drop in outdoor temperature
below 30° F. (ex. 30°OAT = 100° LAT, 20° OAT= 105° LAT)
5. The LAT sensor will continue to monitor the supply air temperature, if the temperature levels off
below the heat stage threshold setting for more than three minutes the HeatPumPro will send a
signal to Y2 on the condenser.
6. The LAT sensor will continue to monitor the supply air temperature and continue to stage up until
all stages of heat are on or the heat stage threshold temperature is met. With an all electric system
the HeatPumPro will stage the electric heat on with the heat pump running, with a fossil fuel back-
up it will turn off the heat pump and run the back-up heat only when a W1 or W2 signal is sent.
7. If the temperature in the supply plenum reaches the auxiliary high limit it will begin to stage down
the equipment while still maintaining a temperature above the Heat Stage Threshold.
8. When the zone is satisfied the equipment will turn off, the zone will stay open for two minutes and
then run the pump for the time set in the secondary purge time in the Set-Up Wizard to open the
rest of the dampers and allow for a “soft-start” on the next cycle.
On a Call for Cooling:
1. The thermostat will send the appropriate signal to the circuit board Zone 1=Y1,G,O
Zone 2, 3,4=Y, G
2. The pump will start and de-energize the solenoid for the zone that is calling.
3. The Y1, G signal will be sent to the air handler and a Y1 signal will be sent to the condenser with
an “O” if set for Rev Valve Energized in Htg mode.
4. The LAT sensor will monitor the supply air temperature in the plenum and look for the temperature
set in the cool stage threshold in the Set-Up Wizard. If the LAT sensor senses a continuous
decrease in temperature it will leave the system in first stage cooling.
5. If the LAT sensor senses the supply air temperature leveling off below the setting it will start a three
minute timer, if the supply temperature does not reach the setting in three minutes it will send a
Y2 signal to the condenser.
6. If the supply air temperature reaches the cooling low limit setting the signal to Y2 will be
removed.
7. When the zone is satisfied the equipment will turn off, the zone will stay open for 30 seconds and
run the pump for the time set in the secondary purge time in the Set-Up Wizard to open the rest
of the dampers and allow for a “soft-start” on the next cycle.

 System Commissioning
To ensure the Arzel HeatPumPro zoning system operates properly after completing all installation
and system configuration steps, please follow the procedures below for commissioning the
system.

Damper Verification
1. Set all thermostats to the OFF mode and all thermostat fan switches to AUTO.
2. Turn the HVAC system and the HeatPumPro system PWR switches to ON.
3. Verify proper LAT and OAT temperature readings on the display screen.
4. Turn the Zone 1 thermostat fan switch ON. The fan in the HVAC system will turn on. Check the
air flow at all registers to determine that only Zone 1 dampers are open and all other dampers
are closed.
5. Follow the above procedure for all other zones.

Bypass Adjustment and Checkout

1. Raise the “Zone Weight %” of the smallest zone above the “AH Threshold %.”
2. Initiate a call for heat or cool in only that zone.
3. A Y2-AH signal will appear on the HVAC Output display screen and a call for High-CFM will be
initiated.
4. Adjust the bypass closed and have the customer determine if the air delivery noise is
objectionable. The customer must be informed that elevated air delivery into the smallest
zone is critical to effective system operation when a single zone calls. Adjust the bypass in
small increments until the objectionable noise is eliminated. Bypass CFM is only done to
eliminate “Objectionable” air noise. Consult the homeowner to determine their requirements.
5. Initiate a similar call at a larger zone to verify that the bypass closes with additional duct
capacity.
6. Reset the “Zone Weight %” to its original setting and return thermostats to normal settings.

Air Handler Stage Threshold and Heat Threshold Checkout

1. Set all thermostats to the OFF position. Set the demo mode to true in the Set-Up Wizard.
2. Remove the leaving air temperature (LAT) sensor from the supply ductwork.
3. Initiate a call for heat on Zone 1, a Y1 and G signal to the air handler and a Y1 signal to the
condenser will appear on the display screen.
4. Initiate a call in a second zone that will raise the zone weight threshold above its setting. A Y2
signal to the air handler will appear on the display screen and blower will ramp up to second
stage.
5. Allow the unit to run in heating mode, a Y2 signal will appear and the second stage on the
condenser will energize.
6. Allow the unit to continue to operate and a W1 signal will appear on the display screen and
energize the first stage back-up heat.
7. Allow the unit to continue to operate and a W2 signal will appear on the display screen and
energize the second stage back-up heat.
8. Turn thermostats to off and allow system to cycle off, do not reinstall LAT sensor at this time.

Note: With electric resistance backup heat the outdoor air temperature must be below the temperature
set for the resistance lockout temperature.
20
Cooling Stage threshold checkout
1. With the LAT sensor removed from the ductwork initiate a call for cooling from any zone.
2. The Y1, G and O signal will appear on the display screen and send a first stage cooling signal to
the air handler and the condenser.
3. Allow the unit to continue to operate. A Y2 signal will appear on the display screen and send a
second stage cooling signal to the condenser.
4. Turn the thermostat to off and install Leaving Air Temperature into the supply duct.
5. Reset the demo mode to false in the Set-Up Wizard.

Balance Point Checkout (Fossil Fuel Backup)

1. Raise the balance point temperature setting above the outdoor air temperature or submerge the
outdoor air temperature sensor in a cup of ice to lower the reading.
2. Initiate a call for heat in any zone.
3. The W1 signal will appear on the display screen and initiate a call for the fossil fuel heating
equipment.
4. Turn zone thermostat off and allow the heating equipment to cycle off.

Customer Orientation
1. In an effort to eliminate end user misunderstandings and potential call-backs, review the Set-Up
Wizard parameters and explain how the system should be expected to function.
2. Go over thermostat locations and functions and advise on the most energy saving set-back settings
(setting back all zones during their unoccupied period will provide the best savings).
3. If Zone One thermostat is equipped with an “Emerg Heat” mode explain when and how to use it
and the expected equipment operation in the Emerg Ht mode.

Remote Emergency Heat Switch

If an Emergency Heat Switch is desired and the Zone 1 thermostat is not a heat pump model or there
are not enough conductors to provide an “E” circuit, then a remote “Emer Ht” switch can easily be
wired to the board.
Zone 1
Simply wire a normally open Emer Ht
R
switch across the Zone 1 “R”
and “E” terminals and you can
W HPPro Panel
Y
engage the Emerg Ht mode G
by closing the switch. This will O
serve all heat calls with the aux Norm Ht E
heat source. C
