Robertshaw SlimZone PREMIER ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM - Manual (Page 4)

SlimZone Premier 1
1. INTRODUCTION
The SlimZone Premier (SZP) is a commercial/residential HVAC (Heating/Ventilation/Air
Conditioning) zone control system which allows control of up to nineteen (19) zones with a
single HVAC system. Each zone is controlled by its own zone thermostat and motorized
damper. The control module monitors the zone thermostats, sets the HVAC system in the
appropriate mode of operation, and energizes the number of stages of heating or cooling
accordingly.
The basic system consists of the main SlimZone Premier control module (SZP-3) which may
control up to three (3) zones. The modular nature of this system allows the expansion of the
number of controlled zones by simply adding SlimZone Expander modules (SZEX) which add
two (2) zones to the system per module. Up to eight (8) expander modules may be connected
to the control module, allowing a total of nineteen (19) zones.
Only DSL-520P communicating zone thermostats may be used with the SlimZone Premier
Control module. Each zone to be controlled requires a zone thermostat.
The user interface to the SlimZone Premier consists of a four (4) button keypad and a four (4)
line by twenty (20) character LCD display, through which all system information may be viewed
or modified.
