The NCM 300 panel provides intelligent control of Heat

Pump or Conventional forced air zoning systems at a

maximum of three zones using motorized dampers and

practically any off-the-shelf heat/cool thermostat. With

features like automatic changeover, one zone setback

feature, field selectable timers and supply air sensing

capability, the NCM 300 provides a high level of

performance in a non-expandable zone control panel.

Perfect for new construction and retro-fit applications.

Will control heat pumps with O or B

type reversing valves and electric

auxiliary heat. Will also control 1 or 2

stage gas or oil fired furnaces, with

single stage electric air conditioning.

The NCM300 panel features automatic

changeover from any thermostat

allowing for individual zone comfort

from the HVAC system.

The STATUS LED blinks slowly during

normal operation to indicate the micro

processor is operating properly.

A total of 9 LED’s indicate the system

status and mode of operation.

LEDs labeled Zone 1 thru Zone 3

indicate which dampers are energized

to open.

Operates on 24VAC power supplied

from a separate transformer. A single

40VA transformer can power all three

zones, with a total of four dampers.

8va draw per damper.

The NCM300 has a thermal circuit

breaker in place of a fuse, and

protects the panel from shorts in the

thermostat and damper field wiring. It

does not protect against shorts in the

HVAC system wiring.

CAUTION: When the circuit breaker is

tripped it will get quite hot. To reset the

breaker, locate and repair the short,

remove the 24vac power for 30

seconds and then restore it.

The panel has a built-in circuit that

monitors the computers performance

and resets the panel if an error occurs

in operation or due to power failures.

Any zone can activate the indoor fan

and only the dampers in zones calling

for continuous fan operation will open.

Continuous fan operation will only

occur when there are no heating or

cooling calls.

The panel has built-in timers that

insure reliable operation.

When a call is activated the panel will

run the system in that mode for a

minimum of 2 minutes.

When the system is satisfied, the

panel will not resume the same call for

a minimum of 2 minutes.

A built-in timer prevents the system

from rapidly switching between

heating and cooling. At the end of a

call, an adjustable 2 or 5 minute timer

is started and the panel will not switch

to the opposing system until the timer

has expired.

The W2 TIMER sets the total amount

of time delay before second stage

heating is energized. 1st stage heat

will stay energized when 2nd stage

heat activates.

The Heating Limit potentiometer sets

the supply air temperature at which

the heating is cycled off and the fan

continues to run, until the supply air

temperature has dropped below the

heating limit set point.

The Cooling Limit potentiometer sets

the supply air temperature at which

the cooling is cycled off and the fan

continues to run, until the supply air

temperature has risen above the

cooling limit set point.

Dampers NotRespondingProperly

HVAC SystemNot RespondingProperly

All voltage measurements on the panel

should be made with the ground lead

of your meter on terminal C of the

24VAC input terminals.

All VAC measurements at the HVAC

system terminals (W1/B, O, Y, W2/E &

G) should be made with the meter

ground lead on the system's C terminal

at the HVAC system.

The STATUS LED should blink at

1second on / 1 second off, to indicate

the microprocessor is operating

properly.

The SUPPLY AIR LIMIT LED will

illuminate if the panel senses a

discharge temperature in excess of the

high or low limit set points. The LED will

blink rapidly if the sensor is open or

shorted. The panel will function

normally but with no supply air

temperature control, until the open or

short is repaired.

The ZONE damper LED’s wil l

illuminate to indicate which dampers

should be open.

The W1/REV VALVE LED indicates that

the panel is in the 1st stage heating

mode.

The W2/EM LED indicates 2nd stage

heat or Emergency heat has been

energized.

The COMPRESSOR LED indicates the

compressor is energized.

The FAN LED indicates the fan is

energized.

The STATUS LED will be off, you will measure 24VAC at the transformer terminals R & C, but not at any damper M1&M2 terminals, or any zone thermostat R & C terminals. CAUTION: The thermal fuse will be very hot.

Remove the power to the panel and allow the thermal poly fuse to cool down.

Remove the wire at each zone thermostat R terminal and test if the short still persists by restoring power to the zone panel and testing as described above. If the short dis-appears, check the zone thermostat wiring and the thermostat itself. This applies if the thermostat requires the 24 volt (C)common, or the R wire could be shorted to ground.

If the Zone LED indicators are

illuminated but the dampers appear to

be malfunctioning, check the damper

field wiring.

If the ZONE LED’s are not responding

properly, check the calls on each zone

thermostat. If the calls indicate a

damper should be energized and is

not, press the TIMER RESET button to

reset the timers. If the problem

persists, see Table 2 for service help.

If the HVAC LED indicators are

responding properly, but the system

appears to be malfunctioning, check

that the HVAC system is wired correctly

and that the DIP switches have been

properly set.

If the HVAC LEDs are not responding

properly, check the calls on each zone

thermostat. If the calls indicate that the

HVAC system should be activated and

is not, press the TMR RESET switch to

reset the timers. Also check that the

DIP switches have been properly set. If

the problem persists, see Table 3 for

trouble shooting help.

If the short still persists disconnect all the wires at each damper terminal (M1, M2, M4 & M6). Restore power and test as described above. If the short clears, check the damper wiring and the dampers for shorts with a continuity tester. If the short still persists, call the technical support hot-line.

Check 24VACPower

Measure 24VAC at all damper M1 and

M2 terminals and all T-stat R and C

terminals. See Table 1 if any of these

voltages are incorrect.

Testing DamperMotors

Check the damper wiring to insure it is correctly wired. Be sure the wires are secured in the terminals. Test the damper motor to insure it is properly operating. If the problem still persists, contact technical support.

Check the HVAC wiring to insure it is correctly wired. Be sure the wires are secured in the terminals. Check that there is 24VAC at the RC and RH terminals. Use the HVAC system common (C) for the ground lead of your meter. Check that RH and RC are connected if the system uses a single transformer.

For a gas/electric system test the HVAC by shorting terminals R and W1/B together to activate the heater, RC to Y to activate the compressor and RC to G to activate the fan. If the HVAC system has responded properly, call EWC technical support.

For a heat pump system test the heating by shorting terminals R to Y, W1/B and G. For a cooling test short R to Y, O and G.

Press the TMR RESET switch to clear the timers that may be preventing the call. The panel could be in minimum run time, short cycle delay, changeover delay or opposite system timing mode.

Check that the STATUS LED is blinking to insure the computer is operating properly, press the SYSTEM RESET switch if it is not.

Heat/Cool thermostats will apply 24VAC to the W1 terminal during a heating call. During a cooling call, 24VAC is applied to both Y and G.

During a continuous fan call, 24VAC is applied to the G terminal.

Be sure the RC and RH terminals at the thermostats are jumped together if your specific installation requires it.

If the system still does not respond, measure the voltage at each zone thermostat terminal W, Y, EM & G to insure they are correct and a call is in order.

Check that the STATUS LED is blinking. If it is not, the panel may have been placed in the Contractor Test inadvertently by holding the TMR RESET switch for 15 seconds. Press the CPU RESET switch to cancel the Contractor Test.

Press the TMR RESET switch to clear any timers that may be keeping the call off and the damper from not responding.

Check the voltage at each zone thermostat terminal W, Y and G terminals to insure the damper should be activated.

If the problem still persists, call the technical support hot-line.

For a RDN/SMDL/BMDL damper, connect 24VAC common to terminal 1, and 24VAC to terminals 2 and 4. The damper should open. Remove 24VAC from terminal 4 and the damper should close.

For a BMD/SMD/ND/URD damper, connect 24VAC common to terminal 1, and 24VAC to terminal 4 and the damper should open. Remove 24VAC from terminal 4 and apply 24VAC to terminal 6 and the damper should close.

For a power close spring open damper, connect 24VAC to the two motor terminals, and the damper should CLOSE. Remove the 24VAC and the damper should OPEN. For a power open damper, the action will be reversed.

SUPPLY AIR SENSOR OPERATIONS AND ONE ZONE FEATURE CONTROL

The One Zone feature allows the homeowner to

control all the zones from a single thermostat by using

an optional switch connected to the One Zone

terminals shown below. A homeowner can switch to

One Zone control when they leave for vacation or as a

night setback mode, and the Zone 1 thermostat will

control all zones. All zone dampers will respond to the

Zone 1thermostat.

One Zone can also be used in commercial

applications with a programmable thermostat in Zone

1 and non-programmable thermostats in all other

zones, thus satisfying the requirements of California

Title 24.

Substantial energy savings and equipment protection

can be obtained with proper use of the One Zone

feature and the supply air sensor.

A Supply Air Sensor can be used to limit supply air

temperatures and prevent over heating of the

equipment during the heating cycle or coil freeze-

up during cooling cycles. Wire the sensor as

shown below and set dip switch #7 to the ON

position. (See Page 2)

The Supply air sensor installs into the supply air

plenum or downstream of the evaporator coil or

heat exchanger and monitors the discharge air

temperature in heating and cooling modes. The

actual temperature is relayed backed to the

microprocessor. When the temperature exceeds

or falls below the HEAT or COOL limit set points,

the microprocessor will de-energize all HEAT or

COOL outputs for a minimum of 3 minutes. It also

energizes the FAN, if it is not already running, to

help dissipate the heat or warm up the evaporator

coil.

There is no differential built in to the sensor! Once

the supply air temperature rises or falls to a safe

value and, the 3 minute time delay has expired,

the microprocessor will restore the HEAT or

COOL outputs. The FAN will de-energize or stay

running, depending on the mode and the

application.

AUTOMATIC CONTRACTOR TEST

The NCM300 has a built-in automatic sequencer that the contractor can initiate to test each zone damper, the HVAC system outputs and the LED indicators.

To start the contractor test, hold the timer Reset switch for 15 seconds and release.The Status LED blinks rapidly to indicate Contractor Test Mode.The panel checks whether Gas/Electric or Heat Pump type system was selected on dip switch #4.

The panel energizes the fan (G ) on, and opens the zone 1 damper. After 60 seconds the Zone 2 damper opens. After 60 seconds the Zone 3 damper opens.

After 60 seconds HEATING (W1/B)energizes. COMPRESSOR (Y) energizes also if Heat Pump mode was selected.

After 120 seconds HEATING (W2)energizes.

After 60 seconds HEATING (W1/B),(W2) and/or (Y) de-energize. FAN (G) continues to run.

After 120 seconds COOLING (O) energizes and COMPRESSOR (Y) energizes.

After 120 seconds COMPRESSOR (Y) de-energizes.

After 60 seconds FAN (G) de-energizes.

End of Contractor Test. The NCM300 resumes normal operation after step 8.

NOTE: Pressing the CPU Reset button at any time during the test, terminates the Contractor mode test and returns the NCM300 to normal operation.
