TrueZONE ARD, EARD, and ZD
Series Dampers
APPLICATION
ARD Series Damper
The ARD is a round damper with a 24 Vac, spring-Open return damper motor used to control circulating air in heating, cooling, and ventilating systems.
EARD Series Damper
The EARD is a round damper with a 24 Vac powered-open/ spring-closed motor. It is used for fresh air intake for
Ventilation or for combustion makeup air.
ZD Series Damper
The ZD is a power close and spring open damper. It has a 24volt motor used to control circulating air in HVAC systems and used when a normally-open damper is required. The ZD is typically used with the TrueZONE and other electronic zoning systems.

TRUEZONE ARD, EARD, AND ZD SERIES DAMPERS
Installing the Round (ARD and
EARD) Dampers
1. Insert the crimped end of the ARD or EARD into the uncrimped end of the rigid round duct and secure with sheet metal screws (not provided). When using flexible duct, slip the duct over the end of the ARD or EARD and secure it with duct straps (not provided).
2. When installing the damper in a horizontal application, make sure the motor actuator is located on the side or top of the damper. Do not locate the motor on the bottom of the damper. The damper can be mounted in a vertical duct.
3. Adjust Range stop position to desired closed positions.
ARD and ZD Dampers are completely closed in position
0. EARD Dampers are completely open in position 0.

Planning the Installation
Selecting a Location
Select a location for the zone dampers that is at least three feet from the HVAC unit plenum in the air duct takeoff to the respective zone and is easily accessible for checkout and maintenance.
The ZD comes complete and ready for installation. The motor and linkage are factory-assembled to the damper. The damper is assembled for installation and wiring to the control panel.
Selecting Damper Size
To ensure correct operation, be sure to select the correct zone damper size for the air duct:
IMPORTANT
Be aware that damper sizes are built 5/32 in. smaller than the listed dimensional sizes.
• If the damper is forced into an undersized air duct, the excess pressure can jam the damper blades and cause improper operation.
• When a small percentage of continuous flow is desired in a zone, even when the damper blades are closed, adjust motor closed position to be slightly open to maintain desired air flow.
Selecting Location with Humidifier
Installed
IMPORTANT
Excessive lime or mineral deposits can accumulate on damper blades and cause improper operation when spray or atomizing type humidifiers are installed in the furnace plenum or air supply duct with the zone dampers.
• Spray or atomizer type humidifiers that are installed in the furnace plenum or air supply duct are not recommended.
• Evaporative type humidifiers are recommended.
Installing the Damper
IMPORTANT
— Install dampers into a squared air duct.
— Do not weld dampers to the air ducts.
— Do not force dampers into undersized air ducts.
Excess pressure can damage damper blades.
— Be sure high limit setting is less than 200° F (93°C).
— Higher settings can damage the electric actuator.
1. Be sure the ZD is correctly sized to the air duct (see
Selecting Damper Size section).
2. Select a ZD location that is three feet from the furnace plenum.
3. Cut a 4-in. (102 mm) opening in the accessible side of the air duct at the location selected; ensure the opening of the air duct is cut fully from seam to seam.
4. Secure the ZD mounting plate to the air duct with the self-tapping sheet metal screws provided.

WIRING
CAUTION
Personal Electrical Shock Hazard. Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power before beginning installation.
The damper motor has a 24 Vac, 50/60 cycle, 8 VA rating. The spring-return ARD and ZD damper requires 24 Vac to the two motor leads to power the damper closed. The damper then returns to its normal open position once power is removed.
EARD damper requires 24 Vac to the two motor leads to power the damper open. The damper then returns to its normal closed position once power is removed.
NOTE: Multiple dampers can be wired in parallel.
Wiring a Motor
See Fig. 3 and 7 for motor wiring hookups for ARD and ZD
Dampers
Changing Motor on ARD, EARD and
ZD Dampers
1. Disconnect the motor wiring.
2. Loosen the socket head cap set screw located between the faceplate and the motor coupling.
3. Remove the motor.
4. Ensure damper blade is in the open position with the set screw pointing toward the open position on the label.
5. Attach new motor to the coupling; be sure the standoff on motor is positioned in the grommet on the faceplate and the set screw is aligned with the motor shaft hole.
6. Tighten the set screw.

CAUTION
Possible Equipment Damage
Do not manually open or close the damper as this can damage the actuator.
To check out the ARD:
1. With 24 Vac applied to the motor leads, observe the motor powering the damper to the closed position.
2. When energized, verify that the actuator connection coupling rotates in a clockwise direction (as viewed from the operator base end) and that the damper shaft turns with the coupling.
3. With power removed, observe the damper returning to the normally-open position.
NOTE: To remove power, disconnect one wire from the motor.
4. If the motor does not operate smoothly and without hesitation throughout the complete opening and closing stroke, examine the damper and the shaft for free rotation within the duct.

CHECKOUT
To check out the EARD:
1. With 24 Vac applied to the motor leads, observe the motor powering the damper to the open position.
2. When energized, verify that the actuator connection coupling rotates in a clockwise direction (as viewed from the operator base end) and that the damper shaft turns with the coupling.
3. With power removed, observe the damper returning to the normally-closed position.
NOTE: To remove power, disconnect one wire from the motor.
4. If the motor does not operate smoothly and without hesitation throughout the complete opening and closing stroke, examine the damper and the shaft for free rotation within the duct.
ZD Damper WIRING
CAUTION
Personal Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power before beginning installation.
The ZD has a 24 Vac, 50/60 cycle, .32A motor. The ZD is wired to terminals M1 and M6 for power closed/spring return open, with an option for M4 wire to power LED light only. The
ZD is a spring return damper that requires 24V to the two motor leads to power the damper closed. When power is removed from the motor, the damper springs back to its normally-open position. When used with Honeywell
Networked Zoning, use closed and com terminals.
