6.6 More about Slaving Zones
There are several points that you should remember when using zone
slaving.
1. You can only slave like zones for like zones. - You cannot slave
a probe zone to a manifold zone.
2. You cannot nominate another zone that is already slaved to
another. - If, for example, zone 2 is currently slaved to zone 3,
you cannot slave zone 1 to zone 2. The leading zone must already
be a healthy zone.
3. You cannot nominate a zone that creates a loop. - If, for ex-
ample, zone 2 is slaved to zone 3, then you cannot slave zone 3
back to zone 2.
4. When selecting a lead zone to slave to you should nd a simi-
lar zone type that is currently operating at the same tempera-
ture and at the same power level. - If you nominate a lead zone
that is working at the same temperature but outputting a notice-
ably different power level then the slaved zone may not regulate
efciently.
