INSTALLATION MANUAL
ADDITIONAL ZONE CONTROL C5
INTRODUCTION
The equipment and functions described in this manual is to be installed by
qualified professionals, who has enough experience and knowledge about
electromechanical equipment and can work safely, according to local laws and
regula-tions. Failure to comply with instructions in this manual will void the
warranty of the equipment, and may result in damage to property or injuries to
people. All illustrations in this manual are for explanation purposes and may
differ from actual product.
Additional zone control function is available for Verso Standard and Verso
Pro/Pro 2 air handling units with C5 controller.
This function allows to have up to three different temperature zones in the
same ventilation system. Temperature in the main zone will be maintained by
the existing heaters/coolers of the AHU. Different temperatures in two
additional zones can be maintained, by connecting two zone modules, which will
control additional duct mounted heaters/coolers and tempera-ture sensors
connected. Temperature set-point for each independent temperature zone, will
be available from the control panel of the AHU.
If needed, zone modules can also control additional heaters/coolers to be used
in the same airflow as additional steps, when main heater/cooler power is not
enough. In that case additional temperature sensors is not needed and only one
main temperature set-point is used.
1.1. Application examples for Verso Standard units
- Three independent temperature zones
- Two independent temperature zones and pre-heater
- Additional heating/cooling steps with one temperature setpoint
1.2. Application examples for
Verso Pro units
- Three independent temperature zones
- Three independent temperature zones with duct mounted electrical heater sections
If complete Verso Pro/Pro 2 electrical heater section is used, additional zone control modules are not needed and PM boards inside of electrical heater section will be used for the same purpose. - Two independent temperature zones and pre-heater
- Additional heating/cooling steps with one temperature setpoint
- Additional heating/cooling steps with duct mounted electrical heater sections* and one temperature setpoint
1.3. Application examples for Verso Pro 2 units
Additional zones on Verso Pro 2 units can be used the same way as shown in
examples of section 1.2, But instead of con-necting zone modules to PD2
connection box, they are connected to dedicated contacts inside of C5
automation box (for more information see section 2.3).
INSTALLATION
For additional zone tempera-ture control it is needed:
a) Zone module.*
b) Supply air temperature sensor (for independent tempera-ture zones or pre-
heater control).
c) Return water temperature sensor (for water heater, when frost protection of
the coil is needed).
d) Duct mounted heating/ cooling device with additional components needed for
its operation.
e) Connection cables.
Zone module box can be
installed in any place near external duct mounted heater/cooler, which will be
controlled. It should be prevented from direct water drops and sun. All the
cables going in/out of the zone module box must be sealed ensuring protection
from humidity and dust.
When temperature maintenance is needed in different (independent) temperature
zones, supply temperature sensor must be installed after the heating/cooling
device. In cases if zone module is used to control a preheater, temperature
sensor must be installed between preheater and the AHU. Supply temperature
sensor should be mounted in the straight air duct after heating/cooling device
(or pre-heater) at a distance of at least of two duct diameters (or two
diagonals of the rectan-gular duct). In cases if zone module is used to
control a preheater, temperature sensor must be installed between preheater
and the AHU. For outdoor units, when choosing a place for temperature sensor
placement, please avoid direct sunlight which can affect temperature
readings.
When water heater is used as a
heater or pre-heater, return water temperature sensor must be installed on the
return water pipe as close to the coil as possible and must be properly
insulated, thus the surrounding temperature will not affect its measurement.
This sensor is used for frost protection of the water coil. If there is no
need for frost protection (for example ethylene glycol is used as a medium
instead of water), return water sensor will not be used.
2.1. Zone module connection to Verso Standard
units
To Verso Standard AHU zone module must be connected to external connection
terminals of C5 controller board. De-pending on the AHU model, C5 board is
located in the heat exchanger section or in the automation box (for C5 board
posi-tion please refer to the “Verso Standard installation manual”). Also
external 24 VDC power supply is needed.
CAT5 or similar
twisted pair cable is recommended for the connection. If more than one zone
module will be used, the second module can be connected in parallel from the
C5 board or from the first zone module. Maximum length of the cable from C5
board to the last zone module cannot exceed 150 m.
2.2. Zone module connection to Verso Pro units
To Verso Pro unit zone module must be connected to connection box PD2.
Connection box is located in the supply fan section, fixed on the wall near
the supply air outlet. Depending on the AHU model, inside of the PD2 box it
can already be connected cable for electrical heater section (please refer to
the wiring diagram of the exact unit). In that case zone module cable is
connected to the same contacts, without disconnecting electrical heater
cable.
CAT5 or similar twisted pair
cable is recommended for the connection. If more than one zone module will be
used, the second module can be connected in parallel from the PD2 box or from
the first zone module. Maximum length of the cable from C5 board to the last
zone module cannot exceed 150 m.
Zone control module is not needed, if complete Verso Pro electrical heater
section is used as additional temperature zone heater or additional heating
step (see application examples in section 1.2.). In such case the electrical
wiring is the same as above, but cable from PD2 box is connected directly to
the PM board located inside of electrical heater
2.3. Zone module connection to Verso Pro 2 units
To Verso Pro 2 unit zone module must be connected to the dedicated terminals
inside of the main automation box. Au-tomation box cover is removed by
unscrewing four screws and pressing sides of the box to release fixing
clips.
CAT5 or similar twisted pair
cable is recommended for the connection. If more than one zone module will be
used, the second module can be connected in parallel from the automation box
or from the first zone module. Maximum length of the cable from C5 board to
the last zone module cannot exceed 150 m.
Zone control module is not needed, if complete Verso Pro 2 electrical heater
section is used as additional temperature zone heater or additional heating
step (see application examples in section 1.2.). In such case the electrical
wiring is the same as above, but cable from automation box is connected
directly to the PM board located inside of electrical heater or pre-heater.
CONFIGURATION AND WIRING
Depending on the application, different zone module configuration is
available. Configuration is made by DIP-switches on the electronic board of
the zone module. SW1 switch is intended for zone number selection and SW2
switch is for heater/ cooler configuration.
At first
assign zone number to the zone module by configuring SW1 DIP-switches as
follows: 3.1. Zone module configuration for water heater/cooler
Zone module can control following types of duct mounted water heaters/coolers:
- Water heating coil – separate water heater with three way valve actuator and circulation pump
- Water cooling coil – separate water cooler with three way valve actuator and circulation pump
- Water heating and water cooling coils at the same time – two water coils (one for heating and one for cooling), two three way valve actuators and two circulation pumps.
- Combi-coil – the same one water coil, one three way valve and one circulation pump will be used for heating and for cooling. Additional input is needed to switch between heating/cooling modes (for example from the thermostat or signal from boiler).
If water heaters/coolers are intended to be used in negative air temperatures
frost protection is needed. For this purpose return water sensor must be
installed (see section 2) and SW2 DIP switches configured accordingly. For
extra protection, additional capillary thermostat can also be connected. Frost
protection is not needed if antifreeze solution (for example ethylene glycol)
is used as heating/cooling medium in the coils.

3.2. Zone module
configuration for modulating type direct expansion (DX) units
Zone module can control DX units, where unit capacity is regulated by 0..10 V signal. Depending on the DX unit model, if needed, additional digital outputs are available for switching heating/cooling modes and start signal. Capacity regulation can be controlled in three ways:
- Universal – capacity is regulated according to P.I. law, using 0..10 V signal. Higher voltage signal demands higher capacity from the DX unit.
- Temperature setpoint* – capacity is regulated by requesting exact temperature setpoint from the DX unit air tempera- ture sensor. Analog control signal of 2,2..10 V is provided, which corresponds to 11..50°C temperature setpoint for the DX unit.
- Daikin – special regulation for DX units with 0..5..10 V capacity regulation, used in some of Daikin DX models. Depending on the signal, DX unit can decrease capacity (signal between 0..5V), increase capacity (signal between 5..10V), or maintain actual capacity (signal 5V).
Electrical wiring of external components:
3.3. Zone
module configuration for ON/OFF type direct expansion (DX) units
Zone module can control DX units, which do not have capacity regulation and
needs only On/Off signal. Such type
of units also can be reversible, meaning that DX unit can operate in both
modes: cooling and heating. If DX unit is not
reversible, by default it will be operating only in cooling mode. Up to four
separate DX units can be connected in steps and
controlled in two different ways:
- Sequence – when all DX units are starting one after another if air temperature is not reached after previous step. This type is recommended when capacities of DX units are equal. Example of sequence control: Step1= DX1, Step2=DX1+DX2,
- Binary – when all DX units are starting according binary code and in such a way more steps can be achieved. This type is recommended when capacities of DX units are different and, in ideal case, the capacity of each of the following DX unit is double the previous. Example of binary control: Step1= DX1, Step2= DX2, Step3=DX1+DX2, Step4=DX3, Step5=DX3+DX1, Step6=DX3+DX2, Step7=DX3+DX2+DX1
Electrical wiring of external
components:
3.4. Zone module
configuration for additional electrical heater
Complete Verso Pro/Pro 2 electrical heater section can be used for zone
control function. Since inside of the section there is already PM board
installed, additional zone module is not needed. Cables are connected directly
to the PM board and only SW1 DIP-switches should be configured to indicate
zone number (see page 10). If electrical heater will be used to maintain
temperature of the independent temperature zone, additionally it will be
needed to connect supply temperature sensor. Do not change SW2 DIP-switches or
any cables that are already connected to the PM board of electrical heater
section, since it is used for heater operation.

SETTINGS ON THE C5 CONTROLLER
Initial zone setup is done from the computer connected to the AHU directly,
via local network or internet. This can be done by authorized service
personnel only.
If zone control function was not ordered in advance and if it was not
activated from the factory, at first it is needed to log in to the “Factory”
level and activate one or two additional zones.
