Description

Overview
The ZD is a power close and spring open damper. It has a 24-volt motor used to control circulating air in heating, cooling and ventilating systems. It is used when a normally-open damper is required. The ZD is typically used with the TrueZONE systems and other electronic zoning systems.
Features
  • Kevlar gearing reduces wear, more than doubling damper life.
  • Adjustable range stops.
  • Mechanical visual position indicator for damper status.
  • Solid construction using extruded aluminum frame and blades.
  • Parallel blade design for low leakage performance.
  • Quieter operation with fewer blades.
  • Simple, easy-to-wire, two-wire installation.
  • Reliable, strong, 24-volt spring-return motor.
  • Fail-safe, normally open operation.
  • Compatible with conventional and networked zoning.
  • Ordering Instructions: Order ZD (dimension 1) x (dimension 2). (Motor is always mounted on dimension 2 side.) For example, ZD10x8 is a 10 in. x 8 in. damper with the motor on the 8 in. side; but a ZD8x10 is a 8 in. x 10 in. damper that has the motor on the 10 in. side.
  • Damper can be installed in any orientation (mounting side can be on either the bottom or the side of the duct).

I have three of these ZD dampers

Purchased two from Pex to complete the replacement of the old Honeywell dampers on my 3 zone system (from 1978). The old dampers were leaky around the motors. These dampers have a nice tight seal and smooth, quiet operation.

8x14 damper

Actuator shaft arrived bent and it causes the damper motor to rock. I will eventually need to figure out a fix. I was in a jam with the heat and needed to use what was delivered.

It works but the shaft was bent as well as one of the flanges.

Well made, good price

Haven't tested yet, but seems well made (although I'm not certain why motor is not more firmly mounted to frame). Price and shipping times were very reasonable.

Make sure you have proper measurements

this product works really well with Honeywell control systems. The only bad thing about this item is determining the direction it should go into the vent, and verifying the clearance for the control motor. I wish I purchased the 16 x 14 instead because I didn't have enough clearance for the motor. Which means i had to take the motor mount off carefully, put it in the vent, and then re-attach it. This is not a big deal as long as you have an "Allen" wrench that will fit the screw to losen it.

Acuator rod bent both units

Actuator shaft arrived bent on both units and it causes the damper motors to move a bit when opening and closing. I hope this doesn't cause problems down the line.

Q: I am looking to power a 12x12 and a 10x20 and the zoning board. Will the 40 VA transformer be enough to power all of these? Thanks

Asked by John 11 years ago

you would need to figure out the draw from both dampers and the panel to figure out if 40VA is enough power. We have no way of confirming that.

The measurements are for the inside diameter.  Cut a 10 x 16 hole in you duct, slide the damper in and screw the damper flange down. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

 That is the dimension of the ductwork in which you make the installation.

Q: I am looking for a damper to supply air for an indoor generator that will spring open with loss of power and will be latched out until the generator shuts down and then will power shut.

The generator can run without the damper open for several seconds. Therefore, I suggest that you power the damper opening motor from the generator A/C output (between the generator and the output circuit breaker). The damper would spring-return closed when the generator shutdown and the output circuit breaker opened.

I believe you could connect a 12V relay (from a doorbell, for example) to be powered by the generator, then wire the 12V terminals of the transformer to open a normally-closed/power-open damper. That way, when the generator is on, it powers the relay, which powers the damper motor, and opens the damper flaps. When the generator kicks off, the transformer loses power, and the damper springs closed. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Malcom, In my experience the 24 volt motor with the dampers from PexSupply can be configured either to open or close the damper under power. (With round it is a matter of switching the motor from one side to the other and I think it is the same with square or rectangular.) So if you configured it so that it closed under power, and just connected the 24volt transformer to the power whose loss you are concerned with, the damper would stay closed until that power dropped, at which point the spring would open it. Then it would close again when that power came back on. Now what would be tricky is if the generator kicked in and supplied power to the circuit your damper transformer was connected to, the damper would close again. So obviously you would have to isolate that circuit so that it only had power from the mains, and not from the generator. Hope that helps. Dan

No, this unit should not run 24/7. It should only operate on a call for heat or when it is satisfied.
