None: If the thermostat is part of a multi-zone system but has no damper actuator to control.
Open/Close (recommended): The thermostat is controlling a Power-Open/Spring-Close or a Power-Open/Power-Close damper actuator.
The thermostat should be wired to the zone damper as follows:
- (Y): Damper rotates Open
- (Y2): Damper rotates Close
Floating Damper: The thermostat is controlling a Floating damper actuator. You will also need to set the following configurations.
- Actuator Travel Time: Tells the thermostat how many seconds it takes for the damper to go from full closed to full open.
- Ventilation Damper Position (100% recommended setting): Tells the thermostat what position to place the damper when only a ventilation cycle is active.
- Maximum Damper Position: Tells the thermostat what position to place the damper when a heating or cooling cycle is active
The thermostat should be wired to the zone damper as follows:
- (Y): Damper rotates Open
- (Y2): Damper rotates Close
The thermostat should be wired to the zone damper as follows:
- (Y): Damper rotates to the Cold Deck
- (Y2): Damper rotates to the Hot Deck
