1 - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 - General
Installing, commissioning and servicing the various components
which make up the Maestro control system can be dangerous
unless certain aspects of the system are taken into account,
such as the presence of mains electricity and hot or chilled
water in the air conditioning equipment.
Only specially trained technicians and installers who have
been fully trained on the product concerned are authorised to
install, commission and service this equipment.
During servicing work, it is essential to apply all the recommendations and instructions given in service leaflets, on labels or
in the instructions delivered with the equipment, and to
comply with any other relevant safety notices.
It is important to comply with all the safety rules and regulations
currently in force. Wear eye protectors and work gloves.
Take extreme care when moving or positioning equipment.
1.2 - Precautions against electrocution
Only electricians who are qualified to the level recommended
by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) in its
standard IEC 364, corresponding to Europe HD 384, France
NFC 15 100 and UK IEE Wiring Regulation, may have access to
electrical components. In particular it is obligatory to disconnect
all electrical power supplies to the unit or its accessories
before carrying out any work. Disconnect the main power
supply with the standard isolating switch (not supplied by
Carrier).
IMPORTANT: The components which make up the Maestro
control system include items of electronic equipment. As such,
they may generate or be disturbed by electromagnetic interference unless they are installed and used in accordance with
these instructions. The components making up the Maestro
control system conform to the requirements of electromagnetic
compatibility in residential and industrial areas. They also
comply with the low-voltage directive.
1.3 - General installation recommendations
IMPORTANT: There must be a power disconnection device
upstream of the controller and Power Module (this may take
the form of a double-pole circuit breaker, for instance). If
necessary, an easily operated emergency stop device (such as
a punch-button switch) must cut off the power to all
equipment. These safety devices shall be dimensioned and
installed in accordance with IEC Recommendation 364,
corresponding to Europe HD 384, France NFC 15 100 and
UK IEE Wiring Regulation. These devices are not supplied by
Carrier.
IMPORTANT: When replacing a Maestro controller please
verify the configuration of the variable or three-speed type
fan motor assembly, before connecting it to the controller.
In general terms the following rules must be applied:
The power disconnection device must be clearly labelled

to identify which items of equipment are connected to it.
The wiring for the components which make up the Maestro

control system and for the communication buses must be
carried out in accordance with the state of the art by
professional installers.
4
The components which make up the Maestro control

system must be installed in an environment which conforms
to their index of protection (IP) (see chapters 3.2.11.2
Mechanical characteristics of the controller, and 3.4.8.2
Mechanical characteristics of the Power Module).
The maximum level of pollution is normally pollutant
level 2 and installation category II.
The low-voltage wiring (communication bus) must be

kept physically separate from the power cabling.
In order to avoid interference with the communication
links:
Keep low-voltage wiring away from power cables
and avoid using the same cable run (a maximum of
300 mm in common with the 230 V AC, 30 A cable).
Do not pass low-voltage wires through loops in the
power cables.
Do not connect heavy inductive loads to the
electrical source used as the power supply for
controllers and Power Modules (circuit breaker).
Use the screened cable type recommended by
Carrier and keep all cables connected to their
respective controllers and Power Modules (see
chapters 3.2.10 Connecting controllers, and 3.4.7
Connecting Power Modules). This list is not
exhaustive.
1.4 - Conformity
This equipment has been declared to be in conformity with the
main requirements of the directive by virtue of using the
following standards:
Electromagnetic compatibility: 89/336/EEC
Low-voltage directive: 73/23/EEC

2 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 - Scope of application
The Maestro control systsem is designed to control air conditioning systems of the terminal unit type:
two-pipe or four-pipe,
with or without electric heater,
with three-speed or variable speed fan motor.

2.2 - General
The Maestro control system controls room temperature by
opening or closing water valves and/or adjusting an electric
heater and the fan speed.
In cooling mode, the controller adjusts a chilled water valve
and the fan speed in order to keep the ambient temperature at
the setpoint for the air conditioned space.
In heating mode, the controller adjusts a hot water valve and/or
an electric heater and the fan speed in order to keep the ambient
temperature at the setpoint for the air conditioned space.
The Defrost mode enables the air conditioning unit to maintain a
minimum room temperature, and a feature known as Drying
mode ventilates the room at the maximum fan speed and
maximum heat.
With two-pipe systems, the method of switching between

heating and cooling can be determined by an input known as
Changeover.
The Maestro control system is designed to work in either of
two different operating modes:
The MASTER operating mode, in which the terminal unit

is controlled by commands entered on the Zone User
Interface (microterminal) or wall-mounted thermostat.
The SLAVE operating mode, in which several terminal

units are controlled by one or more microterminals or
wall-mounted thermostats.
In both these operating modes, the controller can be
overridden by commands from the CCN (Carrier Comfort
Network).
The command device may be a Carrier Floor Manager (Fm)
for instance, or a Carrier Building Management System
(Comfort-Works).
In combination with a Power Module (Pm), the Maestro
control system has the following options:
Directly controlling a lighting source,
Managing a controlled output (socket),
Raising, lowering and adjusting the angle of window blinds.

There is a software tool for setting parameters and configuring
the Maestro control system.

3 - DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Depending on the application, one or more slave modules (Zc

and/or Pm) may be used with the system in order to control the
temperature of a large space and/or to handle several lighting
sources, sockets and window blinds.
3.1.1 - Installing equipment
The various devices which make up the Maestro control
system are located in physically different places within the
building:
Zone Controller (Zc): This is factory-fitted to the inside

or outside of the terminal unit. These units are generally
located in machine rooms, false ceilings or false walls in
the air conditioned zone.
Power Module (Pm): This is generally installed in a false

floor, false ceiling, hollow section or machine room.
Zone User Interface microterminal (Zui): This can be

fitted inside the terminal unit, wall-mounted, or desk-top.
Wall-mounted thermostat: Always fitted to an internal

wall.
Floor Manager (Fm): This is generally located in an

electrical enclosure containing a power supply and
connections for the primary and secondary buses.
3.1.2 - Architecture with one or more controllers
Several controllers can coexist on a single communication bus
called the secondary bus. Each controller is allotted a unique
address on the bus. This distinguishes it from other controllers
and enables it to be recognised and configured.
When several terminal units are used to provide air conditioning
to a single zone, it is essential to organise them into a single
group in order to ensure that they do not work against one
another.
To do this, a master/slave relationship has to be created between
the controllers on each terminal unit. This slave configuration
is then supported by a secondary communication bus interconnecting the controllers.
3.1.2.1 - Master/slave configuration between controllers
There is a configuration parameter which enables the status of
each controller to be defined (master with slave, master
without slave, or slave) and each slave controller to be given
the address of its master.
In a master/slave system all controllers operate with the same
setpoint, reference temperature and operating mode. The
reference temperature taken into account is always that of the
master controller.
3.1 - Architecture
The minimum control system consists of a control module (Zc)
and a temperature sensor (not supplied by Carrier).
The master/slave controller concept is transparent to the end

user.
This system may be combined with a microterminal (Zui) or a

wall-mounted thermostat.
A Power Module (Pm) may be added to the system in order to
handle a lighting source, a controlled output (socket) and
window blinds.

3.1.2.2 - Controller addressing

Two decimal coding wheels located under the transparent
window on the casing are used to define the network address
for the controller.
Each address must be unique on the secondary bus concerned.
A controller can have one of 128 different addresses (in the
range 1 to 128).
The first coding wheel (SW1) selects the units: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9.
The second coding wheel (SW2) selects the tens: 0, 10, 20, 30,
40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
The micro-switch (SW3) located below the coding wheels,

particularly its selector switch labelled 4, selects the hundred:
0 (ON position), 100 (OFF position).
To be taken into account, the network address must be configured with power down.
3.1.3 - Architecture with Building Management System
Controllers may be connected upstream, either directly to the
Carrier Building Management System in the case of a system
using a limited number of controllers, or through a Floor
Manager that groups a large number of controllers together
(large-scale system).
IMPORTANT: The controller with secondary bus address 1
is made responsible for acknowledging messages from the
Floor Manager (Fm).
It is therefore essential that each system has a controller with
1 as the address.

3.1.4 - Architecture with one or more Power Modules
If Power Modules have been installed to control lighting sources
and window blinds, a communication bus known as the Local
Bus is used to connect the Power Modules to the controllers.
If a controller is linked to one Power Module, the Zone User

Interface is connected directly to the Power Module over the

3.1.4.1 - Master/slave configuration between Power Modules

Several Power Modules have to be used in a single zone if
there are several lighting sources or window blinds to control.
If several Power Modules are installed in the same zone, one
Power Module shall be declared as the master and the others as
slaves.
If only one Power Module is associated with the controller, it
shall be declared master.
There is a configuration parameter which enables the status of
each Power Module to be defined (master, slave No. 1, slave
No. 2, slave No. 3, slave No. n).
3.1.4.2 - Power Module addressing
Two decimal coding wheels located under the transparent
window on the casing are used to define the network address
for the Power Module on the local bus.
3.1.5 - Technical characteristics of the communication

systems
3.1.5.1 - Secondary bus
A secondary bus supports a maximum of 128 controllers.
The maximum number of slave controllers associated with a
master controller is 127.
The communication network uses RS485 three-wire links +
screening (cable: two pairs + screening 9/10).
Maximum secondary bus distance: 1500 metres.
The communication protocol over the bus is Carrier Comfort
Network (CCN).
A Power Module can have one of 99 different addresses (in the

range 1 to 99).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION:
Ensure that the bus screening is continuous on each item

of equipment connected.
Connect one end of the bus screening to system earth.
Connect both ends of the bus screening to system earth if

the earths are identical.
Avoid star cabling with any branch longer than 1.5

metres.
The first coding wheel (RS1) selects the units: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8, 9.
3.1.5.2 - Local bus

A local bus supports a maximum of 60 connection nodes.
The second coding wheel (RS2) selects the tens: 0, 10, 20, 30,
40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
A node can be a controller or a Power Module.
Each Power Module network address must be unique on the

local bus concerned.
To be taken into account, the network address must be configured

with power down.
Additional software addressing has to be carried out on Power
Modules so that they can communicate with the controller to
which they are attached.
There is a configuration parameter for setting up the association
between a controller and a Power Module.
A local bus can include several Power Modules and the same
number of master controllers.
The maximum number of slave Power Modules that can be
associated with a master Power Module is 58:
Given that there are 60 available nodes on a local bus, the

distribution is as follows:
1 controller
1 master Power Module
58 slave Power Modules
The communication network uses RS485 three-wire links +
screening (cable: two pairs + screening 9/10).
Maximum local bus distance: 1500 metres.
The communication protocol over the bus is Carrier Comfort
Network (CCN).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION:
Ensure that the bus screening is continuous on each item

of equipment connected.
Connect one end of the bus screening to system earth.
Connect both ends of the bus screening to system earth (if

the earths are identical).
Avoid star cabling with any branch longer than 1.5

metres.

3.1.5.3 - Zui bus

The Zui bus connects a Zone User Interface (microterminal) to
a controller or to a Power Module.
It can support only one Zone User Interface.
Adding line termination impedance to the local bus

The Zc controller has a micro-switch (SW3) located under the
transparent window in the casing:
When the selector switch labelled 1 on the controller

printed circuit is in the ON position, the local bus is
polarised with an impedance of 120 Ohms.
The Zui bus communication system uses RS485 (two-wire) +

two-wire power supply (cable: two pairs 9/10 + screening).
The default position for selector switch 1 of micro-switch

SW3 is OFF.
Maximum Zui bus distance: 50 metres.

The Power Module has a micro-switch with two selector
switches, located under the transparent window in the
casing:
RECOMMENDATION FOR INSTALLATION: If the cable

distance is greater than 5 metres, connect the link screening
controller side or Power Module side to system earth.
Communication protocol: SENSOR INPUT/OUTPUT (SIO)

3.1.5.4 - Adding line termination impedance
Adding line termination impedance enables the bus to be
polarised. This may prove necessary if communication problems
arise on the local or secondary bus.
When it is in the ON position, the local bus is polarised

with an impedance of 120 Ohms.
The default position for this selector switch is OFF.
IMPORTANT: Line termination impedance should not be

added to the bus unless absolutely necessary.
In all cases one and only one device shall be configured to add
line termination impedance to the bus. This shall generally be
the last device on the bus.
Power Module micro-switch in OFF position

3.2 - The Maestro controller
Zc micro-switch SW3
Adding line termination impedance to the secondary bus
The Zc controller has a micro-switch (SW3) located in the
upper left part of the card:
When the selector switch labelled 2 on the controller

printed circuit is in the ON position, the secondary bus is
polarised with an impedance of 120 Ohms.
The default position for selector switch 2 of micro-switch
SW3 is OFF.
This contains the control program for adjusting the water

valves and fan motor on the terminal unit by reference to
setpoint temperature and ambient temperature.
It also manages information received from other temperature
sensors (return air sensor, room temperature sensor, changeover
sensor), as well as information received by its logical inputs
(window contact, remote On/Off contact (occupied/unoccupied)
on the controller).
It communicates with its slave controllers over the secondary
bus, with Power Modules over the local bus, with the Zone
User Interface over the Zui bus, and with both the Floor Manager
(Fm) and the Carrier ComfortWorks supervisor over the
secondary and primary buses.

either by the temperature sensor incorporated in the Zone
User Interface microterminal or in the wall-mounted thermostat, or by a room temperature sensor or return air sensor,
Selecting OCCUPIED or UNOCCUPIED mode through

the Zone User Interface, the wall-mounted thermostat or
the Floor Manager,
Controlling the OCCUPIED setpoint through the Zone

User Interface or the wall-mounted thermostat,
Controlling room air renewal (through Zone User

Interface only),
Halting the control function if an open window is detected.

3.2.1 - Controller outputs

3.2.2 - Controller inputs
The devices that can be connected to the controller inputs are
all passive and optional. They are as follows:
A return air or room temperature sensor: 10 kOhms at 25C,
A changeover temperature sensor or hot water leaving

temperature sensor: 10 kOhms at 25C,
A chilled water leaving temperature sensor: 10 kOhms at

25C,
A potentiometer (0 to 100 kOhms) for resetting the setpoint value (wall-mounted thermostat),
A dry contact for determining window status or detecting

an operating fault in the condensate pump on the terminal
unit,
A dry contact for affecting OCCUPIED or UNOCCUPIED

controller mode,
A dry contact for placing a safety restriction on heating

output or additional heating output in the case of a shielded
electric heater.
11
Controller terminal strip
3.2.2.1 - Input for ON/OFF contact

A dry ON/OFF contact, such as from an external clock, can be
connected to this input.
This is a Normally Open type of contact.
In this case, a change of state (from open to closed and from
closed to open) alters the operating mode of the controller. A
change must be maintained for at least two seconds before its
status is taken into account by the controller.
Changing from the closed to the open state causes the controller
to change to unoccupied mode.
Changing from the open to the closed state causes the controller
to change to occupied mode.
12
3.2.2.2 - Input for window contact/operating fault contact

in condensate pump
The Zc controller can detect the current status of the windows
in an air conditioned zone and/or an operating fault in a condensate pump on the terminal unit, and alter its operating mode as
a result.
If it detects that a window is open or that the water level in the
condensate drain pan has reached the alarm threshold, the
controller switches to defrost mode. It returns to its original
mode when the window contact or condensate drain pan have
returned to normal status.
Note that the controller takes account of the status of windows
in accordance with air conditioning regulations relating to
buildings in the service sector.
In order to avoid short-term changes, the controller only changes

to defrost mode one minute after a window has been opened. On
the other hand it changes to defrost mode as soon as it detects
a threshold alarm from the condensate drain pump. The
previous operating mode returns as soon as the contact has
switched back to its initial status.
The direction in which this input works can be defined by
parameter:
NO: Normally Open =>

Window closed or condensate drain pan level
correct: contact open
Window open or condensate drain pan at alarm level:
contact closed
NC: Normally Closed =>

Window closed or condensate drain pan level
correct: contact closed
Window open or condensate drain pan at alarm level:
contact open
The master controller takes account of only the first eight

messages indicating that a window is open (each must be from
a different slave controller), and further messages are ignored:
If a window that has been taken into account returns to its

initial status, the next message indicating that a window
is open will be taken into account (provided it is from a
slave controller other than the seven already stored).
If more than eight windows are open and the eight
windows taken into account return to their initial status at
the same time, the master controller will leave defrost
mode. It may return to it the next time data is exchanged
with its slaves (in about 5 min.).
Master/slave architecture and operating fault contact in

condensate pump:
If a slave controller detects that the water level in the condensate
drain pan has reached the alarm threshold, then only this controller switches to defrost mode and an alarm is generated (in
accordance with the alarm parameters).
Factory setting: Normally Open

Several windows can be connected to the same input.
In the case of NC logic, the contacts are to be cabled in series.
In the case of NO logic, the contacts are to be cabled in parallel.
Master/slave architecture and window contact:
If a slave controller detects a change of status in any of its
windows, it sends this information to the master controller. The
master controller and its slave controllers then switch to
defrost mode.
If another slave controller detects a change of status in any of
its windows, it also sends this information to the master
controller.
The master controller stays in defrost mode until all windows
have returned to their initial status.
The settings displayed on the Zone User Interface microterminal

which is connected to this controller stay unchanged; all air
conditioning commands are still authorised and will be sent to
the other controllers. Defrost mode stays active on this
controller until the water level in the condensate drain pan
falls below the alarm threshold (i.e. until the condensate drain
pan water level contact returns to its original position).
3.2.2.3 - Room temperature sensor (accessory)
In the case of a system that has no user interface, the controller
may be connected to a room temperature sensor fixed to the
wall of the air conditioned zone. Choose the location of the
sensor carefully. It is recommended that the sensor should be
placed 1.5 metres above floor level in order to avoid draughts
from doors, windows and air diffusers. Also avoid sources of
direct or indirect heat which can have a negative effect on the
controller. This means keeping the sensor away from direct
sunlight, background heaters, computers etc.

NOTE: If a room temperature sensor is used on its own, it will

be necessary to connect a programmable clock (not supplied
by Carrier) to the On/Off contact on the controller, or use a
Floor Manager (Fm), in order to change the occupation status
of the premises.
Technical characteristics:

3.2.2.4 - Return air sensor (accessory)

Whether or not the system has a user interface, the controller
may be connected to a return air sensor which is installed in
the return air duct on the terminal unit or in the unit itself.
Temperature coefficient at 25C: -4.4%/C
Temperature utilisation range: 0 to 50C
Sensor dimensions: length 26 mm, diameter 7 mm.
In this case, system control is based on the return air temperature.

NOTE: If a return air sensor is used on its own, it will be
necessary to connect a programmable clock (not supplied by
Carrier) to the On/Off contact on the controller, or use a Floor
Manager (Fm), in order to change the occupation status of the
premises.
The return air sensor consists of a stainless steel sensing

element protected by a heat-shrunk sleeve, fitted with a singlepair cable 2 metres long (wire section 0.22 mm2 multi-strand,
ends tinned 8 mm).

3.2.2.5 - Temperature sensors for changeover, hot leaving

water and chilled leaving water (accessories)
In a two-pipe application the controller may be connected to
what is known as a changeover temperature sensor.
The measured temperature enables the controller to determine
whether the water circulating in the system is hot (i.e. above a
certain threshold temperature which is definable by parameter)
or cold. It can then authorise the appropriate heating or
cooling control mode.
Temperature coefficient at 25C: -4.4%/C
Temperature utilisation range: 0 to 50C
Sensor dimensions: length 26 mm, diameter 7 mm.

Temperature sensors for changeover, hot leaving water and

3.2.3 - How the MAESTRO controller operates

Two occupancy modes are allowed: Occupied mode and
Unoccupied mode.
The occupancy mode can be altered by the Zone User
Interface or the wall-mounted thermostat and/or by the Building
Manage-ment System and/or by a dry contact connected to the
ON/OFF input on the controller.
The Maestro controller offers a choice of seven operating modes:
Off
Cooling
Fan only
Heating
Air change
Defrost
Room drying
The operating mode is determined by the controller by reference
to the measured temperature relative to the configured
setpoint, or by a forced mode or by an external action (such as
window status, changeover mode, etc.).
3.2.3.1 - How the controller operates in Occupied mode
This mode is used to maintain the comfort conditions required
during periods when the air conditioned zone is occupied. To
achieve this, it keeps the temperature within the dead band,
that is, a given range on either side of the displayed setpoint.
The main control parameters are as follows:
Occupied setpoints,
Occupied dead band,
Occupied setpoint reset. This can be altered by means of

the Zone User Interface or wall-mounted thermostat
within a variation range which can be defined by
parameter on either side of the setpoint.

In occupied mode, the following operating modes are managed

by the controller:
Cooling
Fan only
Heating
Air change
Defrost
Room drying
In cooling mode, the chilled water valve output is activated. The
type of control law applied to a variable speed fan is Integrated
Proportional (IP). Fan speed is controlled by phase splitting.
The control law applied to a three-speed fan allows automatic
switching between fan speeds 1, 2 or 3 in relation to ambient
temperature and setpoint.
In fan only mode, the heating and chilled water valve outputs
are disabled.
A variable speed fan delivers the minimum flow rates of cold
and warm air defined in the parameters.
A three-speed fan operates at its minimum speed.
In heating mode, the type of control law applied to the fan is
Integrated Proportional (IP). The heating output is activated.
If additional heating has been configured, it will be used at
maximum capacity if the heat output is not enough to maintain
the temperature within the dead band.
The type of control law applied to a variable speed fan is
Integrated Proportional (IP). Fan speed is controlled by phase
splitting.
The control law applied to a three-speed fan allows automatic
switching between fan speeds 1, 2 or 3 in relation to ambient
temperature and setpoint.

The air change mode is only available with a variable speed

fan. It can only be accessed from the Zone User Interface and
then only when the controller is in OCCUPIED mode.
Control law applied in the case of a three-speed fan:
It provides the air conditioned zone with a rapid air change. This
mode may be cancelled manually at any time, or automatically
after a definable timeout.
While this mode is operating, the fan is activated at maximum
speed (100%) and the cooling valve output is activated.
The defrost and room drying modes take priority over other
operating modes.
Defrost mode is activated if the controller detects that a

window is open or that the water level in the condensate
drain pan has reached the alarm threshold or there is a
BMS command to that effect (see chapter 3.2.3.3 - How
defrost mode operates).
Room drying mode is activated if the controller cannot

read the ambient temperature and if this function is enabled
by the configuration parameter Room Drying Select. This
very special mode consists of activating the fan at
maximum speed and operating the heating output at
maximum capa-city. It is generally used in the final
construction phase of a building (e.g. for drying out
plaster).

Special case of a shielded coil as a heating element:

In heating mode, and up to a point in the shielded coils capacity equal to 50% of its maximum capacity, for safety reasons
the minimum authorised fan speed shall be the intermediate
speed (speed 2). Beyond this 50% of maximum capacity, the
only authorised fan speed shall be maximum speed (speed 3).

Special case of a shielded coil as a heating element:

For safety reasons, the fan is only allowed to stop after running
for a further 40 sec. at minimum speed after the shielded coil is
switched off.
Special case of a return air temperature sensor:
The fan is activated to run at its maximum speed for 6 minutes
every 40 minutes in order to measure the ambient temperature.
This is not a configurable option.
3.2.3.3 - How Defrost mode operates
This mode is used to place the air conditioned zone on defrost
status. The mode may be activated from either OCCUPIED or
UNOCCUPIED status.

BMS command to that effect.
The controller returns to its previous operating mode when the

window is closed or when the water level in the condensate
drain pan falls below the alarm threshold or when the BMS
cancels defrost mode.

A three-speed fan operates at its maximum speed.
Above the defrost setpoint + hysteresis, the fan is stopped and
the outputs for heating and for the chilled water valves are
disabled.
3.2.3.4 - Setpoint reset
The value of the setpoint can be changed from the user interface during OCCUPIED mode.
Seven reset steps are allowed:
one null position
(reset = 0),
3 positions above 0 (reset = 1, 2 or 3),
3 positions below 0 (reset = -3, -2 or -1)
The controller multiplies the reset value by the reset step value
and adds the result to the setpoint:
Setpoint = Setpoint in occupied mode + (Reset x Reset step
value)
The main control parameter for this mode is the defrost

setpoint.

3.2.3.5 - Determining the temperature to control

The controller uses either a room temperature sensor or a return
air temperature sensor in order to determine the temperature to
control.
A configurable parameter tells the controller which type of
sensor to use.
REMINDER: In UNOCCUPIED mode, if a return air temperature sensor has been configured, the fan is activated to run at
its maximum speed for 6 minutes every 40 minutes. This is not
a configurable option.
Master/slave architecture:
Slave controllers always take account of the temperature
which the master controller sends them. They therefore do not
need their own temperature sensors.
3.2.3.6 - Correcting the measured temperature
The controller may add a temperature reset (which may be
positive or negative) to the measurement given by the room
temperature sensor or return air temperature sensor, as follows:
Control temperature = Measured temperature +
Temperature sensor correction
NOTE: The control temperature is the temperature which is
required to be maintained.
3.2.3.7 - Changeover mode
The controller can only be operated in changeover mode in the
case of a two-pipe terminal unit with or without additional heating. It allows the controller to operate in cooling or heating mode
using a single water valve that can carry hot or chilled water.
This mode can be validated by means of the permitted changeover configuration parameter.
The controller measures the temperature of the water circulating
through the tubes in the unit with the aid of information it
receives from the water distribution network or by using a temperature sensor (known as the changeover temperature sensor).
NOTE: The threshold temperature is a configurable

parameter.
Master/slave architecture:
Slave controllers always take account of the changeover temperature which the master controller sends them. They therefore
do not need their own changeover sensors.
3.2.3.8 - Overriding the actuators
Overriding (forcing) enables the system to check that the various
components in the unit are working correctly, and to assist in
the adjustment and commissioning of a system (for instance
balancing the hot and chilled water circuits in a building).
Overriding an actuator takes priority over the current operating
mode. The current mode is permitted to resume control of the
actuator when override mode is cancelled.
Actuators may only be overridden from the BMS, the Floor
Manager or the parameter assignment software tool. This
applies to the following:
the fan speed,
the heating and cooling valve outputs
the additional heating output.

3.2.3.9 - Load shedding
The controller includes a load shedding function.
If this is not authorised (default), current load shedding
information has no effect on heating and additional heating.
If it is authorised and the current load shedding information is
Yes (default), then heating or additional heating will not be
authorised if they are the PTC electric heater or shielded
coil type.
If the heating is the electric heater type, fan and off

modes are active in occupied and unoccupied mode
respectively.
If the additional heating is the electric heater type,
heating mode is authorised and only the heating output
(hot water valve) will be activated.
In this way the controller determines a changeover mode

which is appropriate to the operating modes it can deliver
(cooling or heating).
Overriding the current load shedding information to No allows

heating or additional heating of the PTC electric heater or
shielded coil type to be authorised.
NOTE: Information received from the water distribution network takes priority over a reading from a temperature sensor.
NOTE: Defrost and room drying modes are unaffected by the

load shedding function.
In changeover mode, the laws governing the operating modes

in OCCUPIED or UNOCCUPIED mode remain the same.
Note however that if the operating mode and the changeover
mode are incompatible, the controller will stay in ventilation
only mode (if the mode is OCCUPIED) or Off (if the mode is
UNOCCU-PIED) until changeover mode is able to satisfy the
demand.
3.2.3.10 - Mail waiting and outdoor temperature indicator

This information is written by an override from a BMS system.
The controller does not use this information, which is quite
simply transmitted to the Zone User Interface to be displayed.
The following decision logic enables the controller to determine

its changeover mode:
IF Changeover Temperature < Threshold Temperature
THEN
Changeover Mode = Cooling
ELSE Changeover Mode = Heating
END
IMPORTANT: These overrides are not saved or backed up by

the controller, and will therefore be lost in the event of a loss
of mains power.
Note that displaying the outdoor temperature depends on a

configuration parameter.
21
3.2.4 - Assigning parameters to the Maestro controller

The Zc controller must be configured in accordance with the
terminal unit to which it is fitted, the system it serves and the
requirements of the customer:
When assigning parameters to the Maestro controller it is
possible to do the following:
Declare which operator interface is to be used (Zui

microterminal or wall-mounted thermostat)
Declare the zone temperature measurement mode
Declare whether a Power Module is present
Declare the changeover function
Declare the direction in which the window contact works

(if fitted)
Declare the heating source
Adjust the minimum and maximum rates of air flow in

heating and cooling modes
Modify the various setpoints

(This list is not exhaustive)
When assigning parameters, there are essentially six different
parameter types:
FACTORY parameters, which depend on the type of

terminal unit used.
SERVICE parameters, which depend on the customers

system,
SETPOINT parameters, which determine the desired

control range,
IDENTIFICATION AND SYSTEM parameters, which

depend on the customers system,
ALARM parameters, which also depend on the customers

system,
TIMETABLE parameters, which enable alarms to be

dated and time-stamped.
Thereafter, maintenance variables keep us informed of the
controllers operating status and the status of the outputs from
the Power Modules connected to it. The concept of authorised
overriding is in fact based on these parameters. Overriding can
apply to:
the controllers outputs (overriding actuators),
activating defrost mode,
refreshing the variable representing the outdoor

temperature,
activating the mail waiting indicator,
indicating the changeover temperature to the controller.

IMPORTANT: When the controller has been configured, it is
essential to power it down and then up again before use,
other-wise it may not function exactly as expected.
3.2.4.1 - Parameter assignment tools

When there are very few units to be configured (twenty or less),
the controller may be configured with the Carrier Network
Service Tool (not supplied) over the secondary bus (by Carrier
Service only).
With this tool, English is the default language. If parameter
names are required in French, the Native Language parameter
has to be changed in the controller (see chapter called Configuring the factory parameters) and the controller must then be
remotely reloaded in its entirety.
If there are many terminal units to be configured (over 20), it is
preferable to use the Maestro configuration tool from Carrier
(not supplied) over the secondary bus (currently available in
French and English).

3.2.5 - Initialising a controller with its default parameters

A controller can be reinitialised with its default parameters.
The procedure for this is as follows:
1 - Power down the controller,
2 - Set both of the coding wheels under the transparent
window on the casing to 0, and set switch 4 on the microswitch to the On position,
3 - Power up the controller,
4 - Wait 5 sec until the LED flashes once a second,
5 - Initialisation is finished; power down,
6 - Configure the new address,
7 - The controller is now configured with its default parameters
and ready to be restarted.
3.2.6 - Restarting a controller after a mains power failure
Following a mains power cut the controller restarts in the
occupation mode it had before the power went off.
Timetable parameters are reinitialised at their default values.
No actuators or variables are overridden.
The fan mode is in the AUTO position and the air renewal
operating mode (purge) is deactivated.
The network address given by the two coding wheels on the
controller is taken into account.
3.2.7 - Controller operation LED
A controller continuously tests whether its electronics are
working properly. A red LED fitted to the board can be seen
beneath the transparent cover on the casing and indicates
whether the electronic circuits are operating correctly.
If the LED flashes regularly about once a second, this means
the module is working correctly.
If the LED is flashing rapidly or not at all, the controller is not
working correctly (see chapter 3.2.9 - Troubleshooting).
3.2.8 - Alarms
The controller is capable of detecting malfunctions and issuing
alarm messages over the secondary bus as follows:
Alarm
Description
Alarm 1
Defective communication with the Power Module or Zone User Interface.

This alarm goes away once communication is re-established.
Alarm 2
Incorrect measurement of return air temperature or room temperature. This

alarm goes away when temperature measurement is correct once again.
Alarm 3
Internal Fatal Error in the controller.
Alarm 4
A slave controller has not received a control temperature from the master
controller for 10 min. This alarm goes away when the slave controller once
again receives a control temperature.
Alarm 5
The water level in the condensate drain pan has reached the alarm
threshold. This alarm goes away when the water level in the condensate
drain pan drops below the alarm threshold again.
Alarm 6
Incorrect chilled water leaving temperature. This alarm goes away when the
temperature measurement is correct once again.
Alarm 7
Incorrect hot water leaving temperature. This alarm goes away when the
temperature measurement is correct once again.
Alarm 8
Internal Fatal Error in the Power Module.
Alarm 9
Alarm summary: ALARM 1 + ALARM 2 + ALARM 3 + ALARM 4 + ALARM

5 + ALARM 6 + ALARM 7 + ALARM 8
If the alarm parameter known as "Summary Alarm Enable" is Yes, only this
alarm is sent. This alarm goes away when all other alarms have gone away.

Powering up the controller
NOTES: The voltage on the outputs for fan (J3), hot water
valve (J4A) and chilled water valve (J4B) is always the
same as the single-phase mains voltage (regardless of their
status) whenever they are not assigned a load (e.g. fan, valve
servomotor).
An operating controller or commands from the Zone User
Interface, Power Module, Floor Manager or master controller
(in the case of a slave controller) are used to power these
outputs up or down.
The voltage on the outputs for fan, hot water valve,
chilled water valve and additional heating is always the
same as the single-phase mains voltage if they are not
connected, regardless of the type of command received.

3.3 - The user interface (accessory)

Two user interfaces are available for connection to the controller:
the Zone User Interface (microterminal) and the wall-mounted
thermostat.
3.3.1 - The Zone User Interface
3.3.1.1 - Description
The Zone User Interface (microterminal) is the link between
the controller installed on the terminal unit and the user
occupying the air conditioned zone.
The Zone User Interface is fitted with a temperature sensor (10
kOhms) with which it measures the ambient temperature in the
air conditioned space.
Switching between Occupied and Unoccupied status;

Resetting the setpoint in the occupied status;
Selecting the fan speed and selecting air renewal mode.
The liquid crystal display unit allows the following to be

displayed:
A moving bar graph indicating the occupation status and

the setpoint reset relative to the value of the parameter;
The temperature of the air conditioned zone (definable by

parameter; default is Not Displayed);
The outside temperature (in conjunction with BMS only);
Fan status: automatic, 1, 2, 3 or air renewal;
Window status (if connected);
Mail waiting indicator (in conjunction with BMS only).
It can be connected:
either directly to the Maestro controller
or to the Power Module if there are lighting sources or

window blinds to be controlled.
A polarised double-pair connection is used for communication
(Zui bus). The power supply to the Zone User Interface is
provided by the controller or the Power Module.
The Zone User Interface can be installed on a desk-top or
placed in a wall-mounted holder (available as an accessory).
The wall-mounted holder is fixed to the wall by two screws not
supplied by Carrier. The microterminal is held in the holder by
two grips and a self-adhesive strip.
Choose the location of the microterminal carefully.
It is essential not to leave the microterminal in a draught or
close to a heat source (such as a lamp, computer, window,
direct sunlight, etc.) since these can have an adverse effect on
the ambient temperature reading.
If the Zone User Interface is connected directly to the controller,
only those functions related to air conditioning are accessible:
The Zone User Interface (microterminal)
Dimensional drawing of Zone User Interface

30
If a Power Module is incorporated in the system, the Zone

User Interface also allows control of the outputs available on
the Power Module in addition to the functions specifically
related to air conditioning:
Select required menu (Lights/Air conditioning/Controlled

output/Blinds);
Select lighting output to be actioned and On/Off command;
Select controlled output to be actioned and On/Off

command;
or
Lighting dimmer remote control (not supplied by Carrier)

on the controlled output (definable by parameter);
Select window blind to be actioned and Raise/Lower/

Angle command for window blinds (see chapter 3.4.8 Technical characteristics of the Power Module).
Master/slave architecture
Slave controllers and Power Modules do not necessarily have
to be connected to a Zone User Interface.
A Zone User Interface connected to a master Power Module
can have an effect on the following:
Control functions;
The lighting/controlled output/blind connected to the

Power Module concerned;
On an individual basis, the lighting/controlled output/blind

connected to three slave Power Modules defined as slave
No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3;
On a collective basis, the lighting/controlled outputs/blinds

belonging to the master Power Module and its slaves.
A Zone User Interface connected to a slave Power Module can

have an effect on the following:
Control functions;
The lighting/controlled output/blind connected to the slave

Power Module concerned;
The lighting/controlled outputs/blinds belonging to the

whole group of master and slave Power Modules.
The configuration parameters for the Zone User Interface are
stored in the controller in respect of parameters connected
with air conditioning and BMS data, and in the Power Module
in respect of parameters for controlling functions connected
with the lighting, controlled output and blinds.
NOTE: A detailed description of the Zone User Interface is
contained in a special user information sheet supplied with the
product.
3.3.1.2 - Zone User Interface connections
The Zone User Interface is supplied with three metres of doublepair connector cable fitted with a WAGO brand connector ref.
231-604.

3.4 - The Power Module
3.4.1 - The external Power Module
This optional module is used in applications which prefer to

use a Zone User Interface or BMS to control a lighting source
and/or to manage the power supply to a controlled output and/
or to raise/lower/angle a window blind.
3.4.1.1 - Outputs
The following apply to the external Power Module:
There are two power outlets capable of providing power

for office lighting. There are two duplicate outputs so that
several lighting sources can be connected if necessary.
The power supply for the lighting comes from the Power
Module.
There is another power outlet capable of providing power

for an additional lighting source, having either a remotely
controlled or conventional dimmer (see chapter 3.4.8.1 Electrical characteristics).
There is also a window blind command output (FRANCIAFLEX brand ) with a 24 VDC power supply.
It supports the following system functionalities:
Transmitting exchanges of information between the Zone

User Interface and its associated Zc controller
Transmitting window status to the associated controller

(if this facility is connected).
NOTE: The controlled output can take an additional lighting
source or lighting dimmer (an auxiliary module must be added
for the second of these) - Not supplied by Carrier.
There are two types of Power Module: the external Power
Module and the internal Power Module. The internal Power
Module cannot be used to control window blinds or deal with
window status.
3.4.1.2 - Inputs
An external Power Module can detect when a window is open,
as can the controller. The window status is transmitted to its
associated controller which then determines which operating
mode to apply.
The direction in which the window contact works can be
defined by parameter:
NO: Normally Open =>

Window closed: contact open
Window open: contact closed
NC: Normally Closed =>

Window closed: contact closed
Window open: contact open
Factory setting: Normally Open

Several windows can be connected to the same input.
In the case of NC logic, the contacts are to be cabled in series.
External Power Module
In the case of NO logic, the contacts are to be cabled in parallel.

Master/slave architecture and window contact:
If a Power Module detects a change of status in any of its
windows, it sends this information to its associated controller.
The operating mode then switches to defrost mode.
The controller stays in defrost mode until all windows have
returned to their initial status.
34
External Power Module - the terminal block
35
3.4.2 - The internal Power Module

3.4.2.1 - Outputs
The following apply to the internal Power Module:
There are two power outlets capable of providing power

for office lighting. There are two duplicate outputs so that
several lighting sources can be connected if necessary.
The power supply for the lighting comes from the Power
Module.
There is another power outlet capable of providing singlephase power for an additional lighting source, having
either a remotely controlled or conventional dimmer (see
chapter 3.4.8.1 - Electrical characteristics).
3.4.2.2 - Inputs
An internal Power Module has neither logical nor analogue
inputs.
3.4.3 - Communication buses
RS485 local bus (J7) - Carrier Comfort Network (CCN)

communication protocol enables a Power Module to be
connected to the associated controller.
RS485 Zui bus (J8) - Carrier Sensor Input/Output (SIO)

communication protocol enables a Zone User Interface
(microterminal) to be connected.
The local bus connector on the Power Module has three
pins:
Pin 1: signal
Pin 2: 0 V
Pin 3: signal +
The Zui bus connector on the Zone User Interface has four
pins:
