Wireless Remote Control System for Air Balancing Damper Adjustments

Even a well–designed HVAC system may perform poorly and waste energy if notproperly air balanced. The Zipset System’s unique (patent pending) approach

to the balancing task offers a quick, economical and practical solution.

The Damper Actuator Enclosure and Gear TrainThe Zipset System Actuator ZSA-1 has been customdesigned for remotely adjusting balancing dampers inHVAC duct work with a quick and foolproof installation.The compact gear enclosure measures approximately5.4" x 3.8" x 1.4".

The Power / Signal CableThe UL94, plenum–rated, two–conductor cableprovides the actuator power and motor statussignals to the Remote Control Module (RCM).The factory–provided cable length is eight feet,but can easilty be extended in the field with fact-tory standard 10, 20, and 50 feet sections up to150 feet without the use of tools.As a bonus, in those installations whereplenum-rated cables are not required, theoff–the–rack cables with RCA connectors sold inaudio/video stores can be substituted.The Output Drive Shaft

The drive shaft will acceptdamper shafts from 1/4" to 1/2"in round, square or hex profileswith no adaptors or special tools.

Unlike some actuators, the ZSA-1does not require the installer toknow the position of the damperblades, (open or closed) insidethe duct, which can eliminateerrors during installation.

Only a 1/8" hex wrench is need-ed to make the shaft connection.As with any damper actuator,verify that the damper shaftrotates freely prior to connect-ing the actuator shaft.

The actuator design insures thatthe output shaft will not moveunless power is applied to them o t o r, so no–lock down device isneeded to maintain the dampersetting after the balancing proce-dure is completed.

The Anti-rotation BracketThe Anti-rotation bracket is fastened to the side of the duct with(2) #8 or #10 x 3/8" self drilling S/M screws. This procedure plustightening the hex head screws at the drive shaft are the onlysteps in mounting the actuator.

Use only 3/8" long screws to insure that there will beno interference with the internal linkage or blades that could resultif longer screws were used.
