INSTALLATION
Mounting
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Do not mount EMM-3U inside HVAC equipment.
Mount only on wall or on cold air return.
1. Mount the thermostats in each zone of the living space 
using the installation instructions provided with each 
thermostat. 
2. Mount the dampers in the ductwork using the installa-
tion instructions provided with each damper.
3. Mount the EMM-3U zone panel near the HVAC equip-
ment; locate it on a wall or on the cold-air return. See 
Fig. 2.
4. Level the EMM-3U for appearance only.

WIRING
CAUTION
Voltage Hazard.   
Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power before continuing installation.
Wiring must comply with applicable codes, ordinances and 
regulations.
1. Connect thermostats as shown in Fig. 3-7.
2. Connect dampers as shown in Fig. 8-12.
3. Connect C7735A1000 Discharge Air Temperature Sen-
sor (DATS) to the DATS terminals. The wires are not 
polarized; see Fig. 13.
4. Connect the HVAC equipment to the EQUIP terminals 
on the panel; see Fig. 13-18.
5. Connect a 40 VA, 24 Vac transformer to R (hot) and C 
(common). This must be a dedicated transformer. See 
Fig. 13.
Thermostat Wiring
Conventional Equipment
Conventional (RWYG) thermostats can be used to control 
conventional, multi-stage and heat pump equipment. When 
single-stage thermostats are used, stages are engaged 
through the on-board 5 - 60 minute timer. If the equipment is a 
heat pump, the EMM-3U panel controls the reversing valve. If 
the thermostat has a common terminal, it is wired to C on the 
panel, see Fig. 3. Multi-stage conventional (non-heat pump) 
thermostats are wired with the second stage of heat and cool 
on the thermostat to W2 and Y2 on the panel. Leave the O/B 
thermostat jumper on the EMM-3U disconnected.
The PC8900 can be used as a zone thermostat. See Fig. 4 for 
hookup. The PC8900 with the W8900A or C controls up to 2 
heat and 2 cool stages of conventional equipment. The 
PC8900 with the W8900A also controls heat pump 
equipment.
Connect a jumper on the W8900 from Rc to Rh as shown. 
Wire terminals R and C to a transformer. Alternately, if the 
zone control system current draw is within specifications, the 
R and C on the W8900 could be connected to R and C on the 
EMM-3U. The PC8900/W8900 draws 5 VA.
Heat Pump Equipment
Select a heat pump thermostat from Table 1. If the thermostat 
selected has a separate Y1 and W1 wire, connect as shown in 
Fig. 5, leaving the zone O/B thermostat type jumper on the 
EMM-3U disconnected
If the PC8900/W8900A is used, wire as shown in Fig. 4. This 
hookup engages second stage heat based on thermostat 
demand, but the Em Heat switch on the panel must be used to 
switch the panel to emergency heat. 
NOTE: The thermostat Em Heat switch does not switch the 
panel to emergency heat.
If the thermostat selected from Table 1 has a single Y terminal 
for first stage heat and cool, wire as shown in Fig. 6 and 7. 
Wire either O or B (not both) from the thermostat to the O/B 
terminal on the EMM-3U. Locate the O/B thermostat jumper 
on the EMM-3U near each zone thermostat wiring terminal. 
Connect the jumper if O is used or leave the jumper 
disconnected if B is used. Connect second stage, auxiliary 
heat, to W2.
Conventional single stage thermostats can be used to control 
a heat pump if wired as shown in Fig. 3. In this case, the panel 
operates the reversing valve, the second stage is brought on 
by the panel stage timer, and emergency heat is activated by 
the EM heat switch on the panel. Leave the O/B thermostat 
type jumper disconnected when using conventional 
thermostats.
