injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices,
which would result in minor personal injury or product and
property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which
will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before the actual installation of a zoning system can begin,
decisions need to be made to determine the number and location of
zones and sensors. This affects duct and damper selections.
This instruction covers the physical installation and start up of the
Infinity Damper Control. Use this instruction to guide the actual
installation process after all the air side decisions have been made.
One Damper Control is capable of handling up to four zones of
operation. When greater than four zones are required, a second
Damper Control Module is needed for zones 5 through 8 (8 zones
maximum).

INTRODUCTION
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The Infinity Zoning System allows air conditioning and heating
equipment to control temperatures and humidity in up to 8 distinct
spaces, or zones, within a building. Each zone has independent
temperature settings. The comfort temperature settings can change
automatically through the use of schedules. This allows the Infinity
System to change temperature settings in zones to reflect occu-
pancy or usage. For example, the end user can condition bedrooms
in a home from 5:00 PM through 7:00 AM or the kitchen from
3:00 PM through 6:00 PM. The Infinity System uses motorized air
volume control dampers (also called zone dampers) to regulate
flow of conditioned air into zones. In this manner, the system can
selectively heat or cool certain portions of a building depending
upon space temperature requirements.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance,
or use can cause fire, electrical shock, or other conditions that may
cause personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified
installer, service agency, or your distributor or branch for infor-
mation or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use
factory authorized kits or accessories when modifying this product.
Refer to the individual instructions packaged with the kits or
accessories when installing. Follow all safety codes and wear
safety glasses. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these in-
structions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions attached
to the unit. Consult local and state building codes and Sheet Metal
and Air Conditioning National Association (SMACNA) for special
installation requirements.
Each zone requires a motorized zone damper to control the air
supplied to it and a zone sensor to sense temperature in each zone.
There are three types of zone sensors available and may be used in
combination:
This is the safety-alert symbol
. When you see this symbol on
the equipment and in the instruction manual, be alert to the
potential for personal injury. Understand the signal words DAN-

Step 3— Install Components
INSTALL INFINITY DAMPER CONTROL — The Infinity
Damper Control is designed so that wires can enter it from behind,
above, or below. Plan wire routing before mounting Damper
Control.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution will result in euipment damage
or improper operation.
Condensation can damage the actuator. When dampers are
located in an unconditioned space, condensation is likely to
occur in cooling. To prevent condensation and losses, all
dampers and ductwork in unconditioned space must be
insulated or otherwise protected.
1. Remove cover to access mounting holes.
2. Mount back plate to wall using screws and wall anchors
provided.
3. Level back plate and tighten screws.
INSTALL ZONING USER INTERFACE — (see Infinity Zone
Control Installation Instructions for details).
Whenever condensation might occur, it is recommended that a
plastic actuator cover (p/n, DAMPACTXXCOV) be used over the
actuator. These covers can help prevent condensation on actuators
by locking out ambient humidity. Insulation may be applied over
the cover to minimize heat transfer.
NOTE: Improper wiring of the ABCD connector will cause the
Infinity Zoning System to operate improperly. Check to make sure
all wiring is correct before proceeding with installation or turning
on power.
To install, place the cover over actuator and seal in place over the
surrounding insulation with duct tape on all four sides. Sealing
need not be perfect because there will be positive pressure inside
the cover. Do not mount the dampers with their actuators hanging
directly beneath the ductwork. It is best to mount the actuator
facing in either the three or nine o’clock position.
INSTALL REMOTE ROOM SENSORS —
1. Separate the sensor cover and mounting back plate by squeez-
ing the top and bottom of the cover together firmly by
grasping the raised top and bottom ridges. This will release the
cover. Mount to wall using provided screws and anchors.
2. Pull a 2-conductor wire through hole on right-hand side.
For specific duct types, follow instructions below:
3. Recommended connection is BLACK to either terminal,
WHITE to remaining terminal (sensor terminals are not
marked for polarity because polarity is not important).
Stranded or common bell wire may be used. Lengths up to
1000 ft. will contribute no noticeable error.
NOTE: All zone dampers and ductwork must be properly sup-
ported according to local codes or SMACNA standards.
ROUND METAL DUCTWORK
1. Crimp end of branch duct.
2. Slip end of zone damper over end of ductwork. Use self-
tapping sheet metal screw to secure.
4. Push any extra wire into wall and seal hole to prevent air
leaks. Align sensor cover with base plate then press firmly
until cover snaps into place.
3. Properly seal joint using duct tape, mastic, or other approved
method. Do not allow mastic to come in contact with actuator.
INSTALL ZONING SMART SENSOR — See Infinity Zoning
Smart Sensor Installation Instructions for details.
4. If dampers are applied in an unconditioned space, insulate
damper using 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch insulation (See Fig. 2).
Step 4— INSTALL ZONE DAMPERS
Proper selection and sizing of dampers is very important for proper
system operation. Be sure to consult the Damper Product Data
Digest for assistance in making these selections. Selection and
sizing information is not provided in this installation instruction.
RECTANGULAR DUCTWORK
1. Make connections using S-lock and drives (See Fig. 3).
2. Properly seal joint using duct tape, mastic, or other approved
method. Do not allow mastic to come in contact with actuator.
Zone dampers are available in round, rectangular, and slip-in
design and may be installed in any position. Install dampers so that
actuator is visible for inspection and accessible in the event it
would need to be serviced. The black mark on the end of the
damper shaft represents position of damper blade. To wire damper,
locate terminals labeled: OPN (open); COM (common); CLS
(closed; and wire appropriately (see Fig. 1 for Damper 24 VAC
connection).
3. If dampers are applied in an unconditioned space, insulate
damper using 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch insulation (See Fig. 4).
ROUND FLEXIBLE DUCTWORK
1. Slip one end of flexible ductwork over end of zone damper
(See Fig. 5).
2. Secure flexible duct to zone damper using SMACNA or other
approved method.
If duct system requires multiple dampers for a single zone, up to
5 dampers (maximum) may be wired in parallel. For all applica-
tions, including retrofit, it is recommended to use only current
dampers with direct-drive style actuators. DO NOT use older
damper with crank-arm style actuators.
3. Properly seal joint using duct tape, mastic, or other approved
method. Do not allow mastic to come in contact with actuator.
4. If dampers are applied in an unconditioned space, insulate
damper using 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch insulation (See Fig. 6).
RECTANGULAR FIBROUS GLASS DUCTWORK
If an actuator is removed from a damper for any reason, it must be
properly aligned when it is reinstalled. This can be done by
rotating the actuator and the blade to their closed positions and
then tightening the actuator (set screw) to the shaft. This assures
alignment at the closed position. (Pressing the quick blade release
button allows the actuator to be manually turned).
1. Insert one end of zone damper into end of fibrous glass
ductwork approximately 2 to 3 inches (See Fig. 7).
2. Use field supplied screws to secure duct board to zone
damper.
3. Properly seal joint using duct tape, mastic, or other approved
method. Do not allow mastic to come in contact with actuator.
4. If dampers are applied in an unconditioned space, insulate
damper using 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch insulation (See Fig. 8).

are in parallel with each other. Use either terminal block to connect
the Zoning User Interface, Smart Sensor(s), variable-speed indoor
unit and 2-speed communicating outdoor unit (if applied). If more
than four zones are required (up to 8 zones maximum), see
Step—6 and Fig. 10 for Additional Damper Control Board Setup
for Zones 5-8.

INSULATION
VENTILATOR WIRING — The Infinity Damper Control can
control a Carrier Heat Recovery Ventilator or Energy Recovery
Ventilator (HRV / ERV). Connect the four wires from the
ventilator control board (see ventilator installation instructions for
details) to the connector labeled (YRGB). This label identifies the
color of the wire to match the ventilator wire colors (Y=yellow,
R=red, G=green, B=blue or black). If you have two Infinity
Damper Controls, connect the ventilator to the control for zones 1
through 4.

Step 5—FINAL WIRING
LEAVING AIR TEMPERATURE / HEAT PUMP TEM-
PERATURE (LAT/HPT) SENSORS — These inputs on the
Infinity Damper Control are used only for diagnostic purposes and
Bring all damper and sensor wires together at the Infinity Damper
Control. Make all system wiring connections as indicated in Fig. 9.
The two ABCD bus connections on the Infinity Damper Control
4
NOT required for regular use. Traditionally, the LAT/HPT sensors
were required for temperature / equipment monitoring. The Infin-
ity Zoning System does not require these because the User
Interface algorithms will perform temperature and airflow man-
agement without use of these sensors. If desired, one or both
sensors may be used in monitoring leaving air temperature and / or
indoor coil air temperature. Consideration and / or flexibility will
now permit using one of these sensors in the return air duct giving
the dealer an option to view both entering and leaving air
temperature at the User Interface. If applied, connect sensors to the
LAT / HPT terminals (See Fig. 9, System Wiring, for connection
to Infinity Damper Control). LAT is monitored by both AC and HP
systems. LAT and HPT are both monitored only in HP systems.
FUSE — A 1-amp automotive type fuse is used to protect the
Infinity Damper Control from over current on the damper drive
outputs. If this fuse fails, damper wiring should be inspected for
shorts. Also, no more than five damper motors should be con-
nected to a single damper output. Fuse should always be replaced
with an identical 3 amp automotive fuse.
Step 6—ADDITIONAL DAMPER CONTROL BOARD
SETUP
If you have more than four zones, a second Infinity Damper
Control must be used and both dip switch settings on the second
board supporting zones 5 through 8 must be moved to the right.
The ABCD bus connector must be wired between both Infinity
Damper Controls.
To install - Locate LAT sensor in main supply trunk after heating
and cooling coil and before first branch. The LAT sensor is radiant
shielded to prevent heat from affecting correct air temperature.
Step 7—Transformer Requirements
The Infinity Zoning System has a lower power draw from the
system transformer than previous controls. It also drives only 2
zone damper outputs at a time. As a result, up to 8 zones each with
up to 5 dampers, plus a smart sensor, can be handled without
increasing the size of the system transformer or adding a second
zoning transformer.
1. Drill a 1/4 inch hole at location in supply trunk where sensor
will be installed.
2. Insert sensor in hole and use as a template to mark the 2
mounting holes.
3. Drill two 1/16 inch holes to accept No. 6 screws through
pre-drilled holes in duct temperature sensor back plate.
Use of the transformer provided in the furnace or fan coil is
recommended without change in all zoning applications except
those having a System Access Module (SAM). The SAM requires
a separate transformer.
4. Use two No. 6 sheet metal screws to mount duct temperature
sensor to unit.
5. Connect sensor to 2-conductor wire using provided wire nuts.
For those who still want more transformer capacity, a 60 VA
system transformer may be used in place of the supplied 40 VA
part.
The HPT sensor (in heat pump applications) measures the tem-
perature of the air leaving the indoor coil. The sensor is installed
downstream of the indoor coil but before the electric heaters. It can
be installed through the wall of the fan coil or may be located
entirely inside the fan coil near the blower inlet. Anchor firmly in
place with cable ties so that it cannot interfere with the blower
wheel (See Fig. 9).
Step 8—System Start-Up
Follow the system start-up process outlined in the Infinity Zone
Control Installation Instructions for details.
LED INDICATORS — Under normal operation, the Yellow and
Green LEDs will be on continuously (solid). If the Infinity Damper
Control does not receive communications with the User Interface,
the Green LED will not be on. If there are faults present, the
Yellow LED indicator will blink a two-digit status code. The first
digit will blink at a fast rate, the second at a slow rate.

4. Check fuse at indoor unit circuit board and Infinity Damper
Control.
1. Make sure zone module 1 - 4 has the dip switches set to the far
left.
Zoning User Interface Display says, ″Indoor Unit Not Found″:
2. Recheck wiring to the ABCD connections.
1. Recheck wiring to ABCD on all devices. Make sure all colors
match for every terminal.
Some zones do not provide enough comfort (a noticeable
difference exists between the actual room temperature and
operating set point or equipment does not turn on)
2. Press side button at User interface to try again.
3. Check power to indoor unit.
1. The zone airflow limit may be set too low. Perform the zone
airflow limit checkout procedure. See Infinity Zoning System
User Interface installation instructions for details.
4. Disconnect all ABCD connections from every device and only
reconnect the User Interface to the indoor unit. If the indoor
unit is identified by the User Interface, then another device on
the ABCD connection may be at fault. Reconnect each
device’s ABCD connection one at a time and perform a
Re-Install from the Service Menu after each connection is
made. If one or more devices are not found after reconnecting
the last device, the last device may be suspect.
Some zones provide too much airflow and are noisy:
1. The zone airflow limit may be set too high. Perform the zone
airflow limit checkout procedure. See Infinity Zoning System
User Interface installation instructions for details.
Zone dampers do not move:
1. Check fuse located on Infinity Damper Control. If fuse failed,
check damper wiring and inspect for shorts. No more than five
damper motors should be connected to a single damper output.
Fuse should be replaced with an identical 3 amp automotive
fuse.
5. If the ABCD connection only contains an indoor unit and a
User Interface, then the wiring, indoor unit control board, or
User Interface may be at fault.
