Honeywell HZ311 TrueZONE Details

The Honeywell HZ311 TrueZONE panel is engineered for efficient control of up to three heating and one cooling (1H/1C) conventional zones. Its design prioritizes flexibility, allowing installation in various orientations near HVAC equipment on a wall, stud, roof truss, or even a cold-air return duct. The panel’s base acts as a convenient template for drilling mounting holes, simplifying the installation process for professionals.

Safety during installation is paramount, with strict adherence to applicable wiring codes and ordinances required. Installers are cautioned to disconnect power before commencing work and to complete all panel wiring before energizing the transformer, mitigating risks of electrical shock or equipment damage. This careful approach ensures both installer safety and system integrity.

Wiring flexibility is a key advantage, as cables can be neatly routed behind the panel or through integrated wire channels on its sides. For secure and organized installations, wiring anchors and cable ties are provided. The system also supports parallel wiring for multiple dampers within a single zone, streamlining complex installations.

The panel features a dedicated DS/BK terminal, a crucial element for systems utilizing variable-speed fans. When only one zone demands heating, cooling, or fan operation, this terminal activates the fan at a lower speed, effectively reducing airflow and optimizing energy consumption. This intelligent control contributes to both comfort and efficiency.

An integral part of the TrueZONE system's functionality is the Discharge Air Temperature Sensor (DATS). This sensor monitors supply air temperature to prevent equipment damage, ensuring the system operates within safe thermal limits. It's essential for maintaining optimal performance and protecting the HVAC unit from extreme conditions.

The HZ311 panel provides clear operational feedback through its intuitive LED display. LEDs indicate the current system status, such as whether heating or cooling is active. They also alert users to potential issues, including high or low temperature limits, or in cases of a DATS sensor failure, a short circuit, or an open circuit in the wiring.

For troubleshooting or during installation, the panel includes a convenient Purge Override button. Pressing this button immediately halts the purge cycle, saving valuable time. After the override, the panel intelligently awaits the next command for heat, cool, or fan, or reverts to an idle state if no calls are present, enhancing user control.

System compatibility is broad, supporting most thermostats that utilize R, W, Y, G terminals, though some models may require a common (C) wire. Furthermore, the panel can be configured for specialized setups, such as oil heating combined with air conditioning, by removing the RH-RC jumper and using a separate transformer for precise control.

The HZ311K kit variant offers a comprehensive package, including the HZ311 zone panel itself, a C7735A1000 Discharge Air Temperature Sensor (DATS), and an AT140A1042 40 VA transformer. This all-in-one solution simplifies procurement and ensures component compatibility right out of the box for quick setup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Honeywell HZ311 TrueZONE, and we answer them below.


What is the required input voltage for the HZ311 TrueZONE panel?
The Honeywell HZ311 TrueZONE panel requires an input voltage of 18-30 VAC at 50/60 Hz, supplied by a transformer of 40 VA or more.

What type of wiring should be used with the HZ311 TrueZONE panel?
It is recommended to use 18-gauge solid (not stranded) wire for connecting components to the HZ311 TrueZONE panel.

How can I determine the operating status of the HZ311 panel from its LEDs?
The LEDs on the HZ311 panel indicate system status: a solid HEAT or COOL LED means the respective mode is active, while a solid FAN LED indicates the fan is running. ZONE LEDs are green when open, red when closed.

What does a blinking HEAT or COOL LED signify?
A blinking HEAT LED indicates that the 160°F (71°C) DATS high limit mode has been reached. A blinking COOL LED signifies that the 45°F (7°C) DATS low limit mode has been reached.

What does a blinking PURGE LED mean on the HZ311 TrueZONE panel?
A blinking PURGE LED can indicate a DATS sensor failure, shorted wires, or an open circuit. It will also blink for 3 minutes at power-up if the DATS is not present.

Can multiple dampers be connected to a single zone on the HZ311 panel?
Yes, multiple dampers can be wired in parallel to a single zone on the HZ311 TrueZONE panel, provided the total VA draw does not exceed the maximum allowed per zone for the ambient temperature.

What is the purpose of the DS/BK terminal?
The DS/BK terminal is used with variable-speed fan systems. It operates the fan at a low speed to reduce airflow when only one zone calls for heat, cool, or fan, optimizing efficiency.

How should the HZ311 TrueZONE panel be mounted?
The panel can be mounted in any orientation near the HVAC equipment on a wall, stud, roof truss, or cold-air return. Its base can be used as a template for drilling mounting holes.

Is there a way to quickly stop the purge cycle?
Yes, the HZ311 TrueZONE panel has a PURGE OVERRIDE button (visible when the cover is off). Pressing it stops the current purge cycle, which is useful for saving time during installation or troubleshooting.

What is included in the Honeywell HZ311K TrueZONE panel kit?
The HZ311K kit includes the HZ311 zone panel, a C7735A1000 Discharge Air Temperature Sensor (DATS), and an AT140A1042 40 VA transformer.

What is an SDCR and when is it needed?
An SDCR (Slave Damper Control Relay) is an accessory used for controlling additional dampers when the total VA draw of dampers in a zone exceeds the maximum allowed by the panel, or for isolating a zone from the panel's direct damper control.

Can the HZ311 TrueZONE panel be used with oil heating and air conditioning?
Yes, the panel supports oil heating and air conditioning by removing the RH-RC jumper and using a dedicated separate transformer for the cooling system.
