Arzel Zoning
The Pro Panel can handle up to 16 zones. Here's how to daisy chain multiple panels together to get the configuration you want. You can connect up to 4 Pro Panels of any size.
So if you do want to do more than four zones, that is an option. You can pair multiple panels together and wire them together in a daisy chain. The limit on that again is 16 zones. And when you have a system set up that way, you actually just connect to one panel to do all of the setup. One panel kind of acts as the main system.
That’s the one that you’ll actually pair to with the mobile app. And when you do, you’ll actually see information about all of the panels. You know, what zones are calling in which dampers are open.
When you do the daisy chaining, not only do you have to wire them together, you also have to place a jumper to tell each panel which number it is in the chain. It’s pretty easy, but there is a diagram there that you have to follow. And then again, you know, if you’re going up to, let’s say eight, nine, ten zones, you may have zones that are too small to actually be the only zone that’s open when the equipment is running. So that’s what that slave zone feature is for. You can make it so that if that’s the only zone that’s calling the equipment doesn’t run and it waits for another zone to need service.
Here’s the example of that wiring diagram. You can see how the panels are wired together and the placement of the jumpers. If you’ve got two systems in the daisy chain.
