USER GUIDE
Zone Controller Wiring
The Zone Controllers (ZC-1, ZC-2, ZC-3, ZC-4, ZC-6, ZC-7, ZC-8, ZC-9, and ZC-Fire) can be wired serially or in parallel. To wire in series each Zone Controller must have an identification or zone number chosen using the DIP switches on the side of the controller (see diagram A). Each controller must have a unique number chosen although there may be multiple Zone Controllers controlling a single zone, or a single Zone Controller that controls multiple outputs. The Zone Controllers can be tied together and connected to the DriveBack 220J, 260 or ZonePRO units (see diagram B).
The Zone Controllers may also be wired in parallel with the use of the 7C-BOB. To wire in parallel (bone not calbing), each controller must have a unique identification or member chosen using the DIP switches on the rear of the panel (see diagram A). To write in parallel, each controller must be wired into a port of the 7C-BOB with a connecting wire going to the Driverack or ZonePro (see diagram C). Diagram D shows the typical wiring for 7C-1 farnblock connections in which the installer needs to use SPDT (single pole, double-flawed) switches with one side being connected to 5 volts (+VRE) and the other side to ground (GND). Diagram E shows the proper way to interface: the 7C fin to the first alarm system. Use only the relay switch closure or the 5-24V DC inputs. Do not use both inputs at the same time. For information regarding ZC setup, please see the respective manual for the Driverack or ZonePro unit that you are setting up.

Switches SWI-SW4 correspond to switch inputs 1-4 on the ZC's EuroBlock connector. Each switch connected to the ZC1 must be a Dual Pole Single Throw (DPST). One pole of each switch should be connected to the ground reference on the ZC's EuroBlock connector while the other pole should be connected to the +V reference. Because there are four switch inputs, there are 16 possible switch combinations. In the chart above, a "0" corresponds to a switch connected to +V reference, while a "+V" corresponds to the switch facing connected to ground. None of the poles should be left hanging but should either be connected to +V or ground.

Zone Controller Maximum Cable Length
Note - The following cable lengths were achieved using Cat5 Enhanced cable exhibiting a maximum D.C. resistance of 29 Ohms per 1,000 feet. When connecting Zone Controllers in series, the following cable length restrictions apply:
- As shown in Diagram 1, any (3) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not exceed 600 feet.
- Any (6) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not exceed 300 feet. Refer to Diagram G.
- Cable runs of up to 1,000 feet may be achieved using "Home Run" wiring. An example of this is shown in Diagram II. A lixx Zone Controller Break Out Box (cllx 7C.8QB) is used to parallel several cable runs. It should be noted that a 1,000 foot cable with a single Zone Controller may be connected directly to the DriveBack or ZonePro.
