Procedure
- Disconnect power from the controller transformer, and the VAV box fan and heater circuits, if applicable.
- Set all the switches on the field controller to their known settings. See Setup and adjustments.
- Set the MS/TP address. See Setup and adjustments
- Ensure that end-of-line (EOL) is set to the off position. Refer to the Verasys Zone Coordinator Installation Guide (Part No. 24-10143-1280) for proper switch setting.
- Use the zone bus address/range 4-127 for Verasys Zone Bus controllers.
- Place the ZEC controller in the proper mounting position on the actuator shaft so that the wiring connections are easily accessible.
-
Make sure the ZEC controller base is perpendicular to the damper shaft. If necessary, use a spacer to offset tipping of the ZEC controller caused by the shaft bushings.
Note: Use the alignment marks to center the captive spacer to ensure sufficient ZEC movement in either direction.Figure 1. Captive spacer alignment marks
- Secure the self-drilling No. 10 screw through the captive spacer with a power screwdriver and 100 mm (4 in.) extension socket. Alternatively, use a punch drill to mark the position of the shoulder washer.
- Drill a hole into the VAV box using a 5/16 in. drill bit.
-
Insert the mounting screw and tighten it against the spacer.
Important: Do not over-tighten the screw, or the threads may strip. If you mount the ZEC to the VAV box, make sure that the screws do not interfere with damper blade movement.
- Locate the damper position using the typical marking on the end of the damper shaft.
-
Note the direction, clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW), required to close the damper. The actuator configuration depends on the amount of rotation necessary for the damper to go from full-open to full-closed.
- For 90° rotation, install the damper full-closed.
- For 45° or 60° rotation, install the damper full-open.
-
Push down and hold the manual override button and turn the ZEC controllercoupler until it contacts the mechanical end-stop at either the full-closed orfull-open position.

If the damper for a 45° or 60° box closes CCW or CW, rotate the coupler to the CW mechanical limit. This action sets the open end-stop; the closed end-stop is set by the closed damper.
For 45° and 60° boxes, hard stops must be provided at both full-closed and full-open damper positions. If you install the ZEC controller at the full-open position, the ZEC controller provides the open stop for 45° and 60° boxes. The closed damper seal provides the full-closed stop.
- Tighten the square coupler bolt to the shaft using an 8 mm (5/16 in.) wrench or 10 mm (3/8 in.) 12-point socket. Tighten to 10.5 to 11.5 N·m (95 to 105 lb·in).
- Put a loop in the poly tubing, to trap condensation, when you attach the poly tubing to the ZEC pressure transducer ports. Loop the poly tubing before you make the final connections.
- Push the Manual Override button, and turn the actuator coupling manually to ensure that the actuator can rotate from full-closed to full-open positions without binding.
- Complete the mounting by rotating the damper to the full-open position.
