Features

The ZS Series Zone Sensors are thermistor-based, communicating temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity or CO2 . The ZS Sensors are field
installed and are wired to the Rnet port of the DDC Control Air 5600, 5830, or 6120 controller1. A maximum of 5 ZS sensors may be daisy-chained and used for
applications where averaging of multiple readings for temperature is required.

Slide the sensor’s potentiometer up to make the zone warmer or down to make it cooler. The control program determines how much you can adjust the set point.(see figure# 2)

Addressing Sensors

When multiple ZS Series Zone Sensors (up to 5 max) are connected to the DDC controller, each sensor on the Rnet must have a unique address associated with
it, and the addresses have to be sequential. If the sensors are not addressed sequentially the DDC Controller reads any gaps as faulty sensors and a sensor wiring alarm is generated.

The DIP switches located at the back of the sensor (next to the Rnet connector block) may be used to set an address from 1 to 5 (the factory default address for all Bosch branded ZS Series sensors is “1”).

There are four (4) DIP switches (numbered 1 through 4) used to address the ZS Series sensors. Each DIP switch has a value assigned to it for addressing the sensors as shown in the table

DIP Switch Number	DIP Switch Value
1	1
2	2
3	4
4	8

Turn on as many DIP switches as needed so that their total value equals the required address. In the example shown in Figure 3, DIP switches #1 and #4 are ON (to the right position). Their values (1 + 8) total 9, so the sensor’s address is 9.

While the DIP switches may be used to address the sensor for any value from 0 to 14, the DDC Control Air 5600, 5830, and 6120 controllers ONLY recognize values from 1 to 5, and any other address will result in the sensor(s) not functioning properly.

Multiple Sensors

Multiple ZS Series Zone Sensors on an Rnet must be configured in the software (using *Control Air M or M+ interface or legacy BACview) in order for the DDC Control Air 5600, 5830, and 6120 to function as required.

Any combination of sensing capabilities may be used (Temperature, Relative Humidity, CO2 ), and the effective temperature value used to control the unit may be configured as the minimum, maximum, or average of all the individual values.

Formatting Sensors

Formatting a sensor clears its flash memory. To format a sensor perform one of the two options below:

1. Download the controller that the sensor is connected to with new software using App loader.
   OR
2. Perform the following steps:

a. Remove the wiring connector from the sensor
b. Note the current position of the DIP switches
c. Set all DIP switches to the ON position
d. Reattach the wiring connector to format
e. After approximately 3 seconds, remove the wiring connector
f. Set the DIP switches back to their original position
g. Reattach the wiring connector

ZS Push/Manager Sensors

The ZS Push and Manager Series Sensors can be ordered as temperature only, temperature with relative humidity, or temperature with relative humidity and CO2 . They are the most versatile of the the four sensor models, and are designed to work with the DDC Control Air 5600, 5830, and 6120 controllers.

The ZS Push and Manager Series Sensor allows the user to:

• View information in the display such as zone temperature, setpoints, outside air temperature, and equipment status
• Make the zone warmer or cooler by adjusting the setpoint. By default the DDC Control Air 5600, 5830, or 6120 only allows a temperature change of 3 degrees in either direction (cooler or warmer) but this value can be changed using the Control Air M or M+ interface, legacy BACview, or from the BAS
• Adjust humidity setpoint when unit is equipped with hot gas reheat to control relative humidity in the space
• Override the schedule to put the zone in an occupied state (in increments of 30 minutes with a maximum override time of 3 hours)
• Force the zone to an unoccupied state
• See that the zone is in an occupied state when the green LED is lit.
• Alert residents in plain text of error and fault messages that require specificactions (e.g. change filter required). See Table 13
• See that the fan is running when the fan symbol is displayed on the screen
• Set System and Fan Modes (only on ZS Manager)

Navigating the Push/Manager Sensor’s Screens

The control program determines what screens you see, what information is in each screen, and what you can adjust. The type of sensor also determines what you see. For example, if the sensor reads temperature, humidity, and CO2 , the Home screen will cycle through the current values.

ZS Push Sensor Display

To Make the Zone Warmer or Cooler Using a ZS Push/Manager

1. From the Home screen, press the

or

button to show the Setpoint Adjustment screen. The screen shows the following: (Figure 4)

2.Press the

or

button to adjust the zone temperature setpoint. The control program determines how much you can adjust the setpoint and is default to +/- 3°F. The DDC Control Air 5600, 5830, or 6120 control program allows this adjustment value to be changed either using a Control Air M or M+ interface, legacy BACview, or from an available BAS. The maximum allowable setpoint adjustment from the space is +/- 9 °F.

3. Any setpoint adjustments made during an occupied session are cleared each time the unit transitions from occupied mode to unoccupied mode, and the setpoint adjustment remains at 0 until the next manual adjustments in the space.
4. Wait a few seconds until the display returns to the home screen before you press any other buttons

To Override the Schedule Using a ZS Push/Manager

Timed Override to an Occupied State

1. Press the

2. button one time to override the schedule and put the zone in an occupied state for a length of time specified in the control program.

Press

the button repeatedly to incrementally increase the time. The time increases in increments of 30 minutes and the maximum length of time that
the override may be scheduled is 180 minutes (3 hours).

3.To cancel an override and return control to the schedule, press the

button twice.

4.Wait a few seconds until the display returns to the home screen before you press any other buttons.

During the override, the bottom of the display shows the time (minutes) remaining in the override and an hourglass to indicate the override state.(See Figure 5).

Force to an Occupied State

1. Press

and hold the button for 3 seconds to force the zone to an unoccupied state.

2.To cancel the force to unoccupied and return control to the schedule, press the

button again.

To Lock the Sensor Buttons of a ZS Push/Manager

Simultaneously press and hold the 2 buttons shown below (see Figure 6) for 5 seconds to lock the sensor’s buttons. The display shows a lock icon to indicate the
locked state.

Press and hold the 2 buttons again for 5 seconds to unlock the buttons.

If you press the

button slightly before the

button, the sensor will go into an override state instead of locking the buttons. But, if you press the

button first, the buttons will lock.

To Edit Displayed Values Using a ZS Push/Manager

If the display shows a value other than a zone temperature setpoint with

to the right of it, the value is editable from the sensor. An example is the screen for the zone humidity setpoint. Access this screen by pressing the info button several times (approx 7 times) until the humidity setpoint is visible (Rnet tag 406), then follow the steps below to change the value as needed (max of 95%rh, min of 20%rh):

Press the

or

button to adjust the value.

2. Wait until the display returns to the home screen before you press any other buttons.

If the control program specifies that the value is not editable, you will see

without arrows.

Rnet Tags

Rnet tags are numbers that identify types of system values, and determine how the ZS Series sensor will display those values. For example:

The Rnet tag number 416 indicates Air Flow Setpoint. Values such as this that do not have an icon will display the Rnet tag number in the lower left corner of the sensor’s display.(see Figure 7)

If there’s an active alarm(s) condition, pressing the info button once will first display the alarm page(s) including the corresponding Rnet tag and a short text, before resuming the regular cycle of functions.

Alarm conditions are indicated by the bell symbol appearing on the Pro sensor display (see figure 8).

The following is a description of the available alarm codes on the “Current Alarm Condition/Code” screen(Rnet tag 1300):

Troubleshooting

The following technical issues may be resolved as described below:

Battery Reset

If the software becomes corrupted the controller may be reset to the last saved/ archived version by performing the following:

1. Remove the 24Vac power from the controller.
2. Pull the 3V CR2032 onboard battery from the controller.
3. Replace the onboard battery after approx 10 seconds.
4. Reconnect the unit 24Vac power.

Wiring and Mounting

The Rnet cable is wired to the controller at the Rnet connector. The shield wire (if available) and the ground wire should be inserted into the controller’s GND
terminal.

1. Turn off the controller’s power.
2. Pull the back plate off the ZS Sensor. You may need to turn the setscrews in the bottom of the sensor clockwise until you can remove the back plate.
3. Pull the Rnet communication cable through the slit in the insulated backing material.(See Figure 9)

4. Use 2 screws to mount the back plate to the wall or outlet box.
5. Partially cut, then bend and pull off the outer jacket of the Rnet cable(s). Do not nick the inner insulation.(See Figure 10)

6. 6. Strip about.25 inch (.6 cm) of the inner insulation from each wire.
7. If wiring 1 cable to the ZS Sensor, cut the shield wire off at the outer jacket, then wrap the cable with tape at the outer jacket to cover the end of the
   shield wire.
8. Insert the other 4 wires into the ZS Sensor’s screw terminal connector. If wiring 2 cables, insert like colored wires into each terminal.

Connect this Wire	To this Terminal
RED	+12v
GREEN	Rnet-
WHITE	Rnet+
BLACK	Gnd

CAUTION: Allow no more than .06 inch (1.5mm) of bare communication wire contacts to avoid touching the cable’s foil shield wire, or a metal surface other than the terminal block. The device may not communicate correctly otherwise. (See Figure 11)

9. Attach the sensor’s cover and circuit board to the mounted back plate, inserting the top first.
10. Turn the setscrews one full turn counterclockwise so that the cover can not be removed.

Use the same polarity throughout the Rnet.
