Robertshaw SlimZone Deluxe ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM - Manual (Page 9)

6. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
6.1 UNPACKING THE 2701-002 LOGIC PANEL
Remove the 2701-002 from the shipping carton and protective bubble pack. Touch a
grounded metal object before handling the logic panel to avoid potential loss of opera-
tion due to static discharge.
Open the access door by gently pulling on the bottom right corner. Apply finger pressure only.
Once opened, the door may be removed by applying slight back pressure against the hinge
tabs located on the panel base. To replace the door, align it with the hinge tabs and snap it
back into place.
6.2 INSTALLING THE 2701-003 EXPANDER BOARD
In order to install the SlimZone Expander Board (2701-003) the bottom plastic piece of the
SlimZone Master Board (2701-002) must be removed. This is done by removing the black
plastic locking tabs and sliding the bottom piece away from the 2701-002. Align the top of
the 2701-003 with either the bottom of the 2701-002 or 2701-003 above it. The top of the
2701-003 board is labeled as TOP and the bottom of the board is labeled as BOTTOM.
Snap the cover portion into place and replace the black plastic locking tabs. Connect the (2)
wire harnesses from the 2701-003 to either the 2701-002 or 2701-003 above it. Slide the
bottom of the unit into place and replace the black plastic locking tabs.
6.3 INSTALLING THE BACKPLATE
The logic panel can be mounted on any dry interior surface. Use the mounting holes (see
illustration on page 11) to secure in place using the supplied #8 screws. Mount the control
panel in a location that provides easy access. Do not mount the control panel on any part of
the HVAC equipment, duct work, or where moisture may be present. The back plate contains
holes and knockouts for wall or surface wiring.
CAUTION:
Use care when removing upper or lower end cap knockouts. Apply a sharp rap with the blunt
end of a screwdriver to remove knockouts. Do not use sharp instruments in an attempt to
remove the knockouts as internal damage to the PC board and/or components may occur.
6.4 ZONE THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Zone thermostats should be installed in a location that best suits the general load character-
istics of the space being controlled. Do not mount thermostats in hallways, on exterior walls,
or near cold air returns, registers, or any other area where internal or external influences will
cause false temperature indications. Use only single stage, electromechanical or elec-
tronic thermostats. Do not use heat pump thermostats with this system. If an electro-
mechanical thermostat is used, you will need to use a resistor kit.
6.5 SYSTEM WIRING
The SlimZone Deluxe zone control system is designed to be used with #18 AWG (nonshield-
ed) copper wire for all terminal landings. Zone thermostats and motorized zone dampers may
be located up to 300 ft (90m) from the logic panel. All system wires should be tagged for
easy identification.
