Robertshaw SlimZone CLASSIC ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM - Manual (Page 3)

1. INTRODUCTION
The SlimZone Classic (2701-001/2701-006) zone panel is designed to control conditioned
air in separate zones using a single heating and cooling unit. Model 2701-001 controls up
to 3 zones; model 2701-006 controls up to 2 zones. SlimZone is compatible with both
single stage heating and cooling units and single compressor heat pumps with auxiliary
heat. The temperature of each zone is controlled by its own individual thermostat and duct
mounted motorized damper assemblies which control the distribution of conditioned air
into each zone. All zone thermostats and dampers are wired directly to the SlimZone
Classic control panel. The control panel is wired to the HVAC equipment. Power to the zone
thermostats and motorized dampers is provided by the control panel. A dedicated 24VAC,
75 VA transformer is required to power the control panel.
