4.2 ZC Wiring
The installation of the Zone Controllers MUST be accomplished with the use of cable which is
rated VW-1 or higher. Common NEC designations which meet this rating include: CMP, CMR,
CMG, CM and CMX.
The below diagram shows the internal color coding of a compatible straight-through, 568B
standard Cat 5 cable. It also illustrates which DIP switch settings and controller ID numbers
correspond with each wire inside the Cat 5 cable.

All Zone Controllers can be wired serially or in parallel. Whether using serial or parallel
cabling, each Zone Controller must have a unique identification number chosen using the DIP
switches on the side of the controller (see Diagram A), although there may be multiple Zone
Controllers controlling a single zone or a single Zone Controller that controls multiple zones.
This is explained in further detail in “Section 4.4 ZC DIP Switches & Programming”.
