NOTE: The New NCM300 allows the user to install Heat Pump thermostats on all zones. This allows the user to over-
ride the W2 Timer and energize the auxiliary heat via thermostatic demand! You may still use regular Heat/Cool type
thermostats with a Heat Pump system and use the W2 Timer to energize the auxiliary heat. Doing so may save more
energy. This new design simplifies the thermostat selection process and allows the installer to easily adapt the
NCM300 to most residential applications.

 SERVICE GUIDE
Some Helpful All voltage measurements on the
Guidelines NCM300 panel should be made with
the ground lead of your meter on
terminal “C” of the 24VAC input
terminals.
All voltage measurements at the HVAC
System Terminal Block (W1/B, O, Y,
W2/E & G) should be made with the
meter’s ground lead on the terminal
“C” at the HVAC system block.
Using the LED The STATUS LED should blink at
Indicators 1second on / 1 second off, to indicate
the microprocessor is operating
properly.
The SUPPLY AIR LIMIT LED will
illuminate if the panel senses a
discharge temperature in excess of the
high or low limit set points. The LED will
blink rapidly if the sensor is open,
shorted or disconnected. The panel
will function normally but with no
supply air temperature control until the
open or short is repaired.
The Zone Damper LED’s will
illuminate to indicate which dampers
should be open.
The W1/B LED indicates that the panel
is in the 1st stage heating mode or, the
“B” type reversing valve output is
active.
The W2/E LED indicates 2nd stage
heat or Emergency heat has been
energized.
The COMPRESSOR LED indicates
the compressor is energized.
The FAN LED indicates the fan is
energized.
Dampers Not If the Zone LED indicators are
Responding illuminated but the dampers appear to
Properly be malfunctioning, check the damper
field wiring.
If the ZONE LED’s are not responding
properly, check the calls on each zone
thermostat. If the calls indicate a
damper should be energized and is
not, press the RESET button to cancel
the timers. If the problem persists, see
Table 2 for service help.

voltages are incorrect.

that the HVAC system is wired correctly
and that the DIP switches have been

If the HVAC LEDs are not responding

HVAC system should be activated and
is not, press the RESET switch to
cancel the timers. Also check that the
DIP switches have been properly set. If
the problem persists, see Table 3 for
trouble shooting help.

24vac Shorts will appear to be dead! you will
measure 24VAC at the transformer

CAUTION: The thermal breaker will be

24vac Shorts allow the thermal poly fuse to cool
down.
Remove the wire at each zone
thermostat R terminal and test if the
short still persists by restoring power to
the zone panel and testing as
described above. If the short dis-
appears, check the zone thermostat
wiring and the thermostat itself. This
applies if the thermostat requires the
24 volt (C)common, or the R wire could
be shorted to the building ground.
If the short still persists disconnect all
the wires at each damper terminal (M1,
M2, M4 & M6). Restore power and test
as described above. If the short clears,
check the damper wiring and the
dampers for shorts with a continuity
tester. If the short still persists, call the
technical support hot-line.

Testing Damper For a RDN/SMDL/BMDL damper,
Motors connect 24VAC common to terminal
1, and 24VAC to terminals 2 and 4.
The damper should open. Remove
24VAC from terminal 4 and the
damper should close.
For a BMD/SMD/ND/URD damper,
connect 24VAC common to terminal
1, and 24VAC to terminal 4 and the
damper should open. Remove
24VAC from terminal 4 and apply
24VAC to terminal 6 and the damper
should close.
For a power close spring open
damper, connect 24VAC to the two
motor “M” terminals, and the damper
should CLOSE. Remove the 24VAC
and the damper should OPEN. For a
power open damper, the action will
be reversed.
Press the RESET button for 1 second to clear
the time delay that may be preventing the
call. The panel could be in minimum run
time, short cycle delay, changeover delay or
opposite system timing mode.
If the system still does not respond, measure
the voltage at each zone thermostat terminal
W/E, Y, & G to insure they are correct and a
call is in order.
Measuring Heat/Cool thermostats will apply 24vac to
Thermostat the W/E terminal during a heating call.
Voltages During a cooling call, 24vac is applied to
both Y & G. During a continuous fan call,
24VAC is applied to the G terminal.
Be sure the Rc and Rh terminals at the
thermostats are jumped together if your
specific installation requires it.
Heat Pump thermostats will apply 24vac to Y
and G during a 1st stage heating call. 24vac
will be applied to W/E during a 2nd stage
call. In Emergency mode, 24vac is applied to
W/E & G. During a cooling call, 24vac is
applied to Y, G & O.

Forced Air Zone Controls

SUPPLY AIR SENSOR OPERATIONS AND ONE ZONE FEATURE CONTROL
A Supply Air Sensor can be used to limit supply air
temperatures and prevent over heating of the
equipment during the heating cycle or coil freeze-
up during cooling cycles. Wire the sensor as
shown below and set dip switch #7 to the ON
position. (See Page 2)
The Supply air sensor installs into the supply air
plenum or downstream of the evaporator coil or
heat exchanger and monitors the discharge air
temperature in heating and cooling modes. The
actual temperature is relayed backed to the
microprocessor. When the temperature exceeds
or falls below the HEAT or COOL limit set points,
the microprocessor will de-energize all HEAT or
COOL outputs for a minimum of 3 minutes. It also
energizes the FAN, if it is not already running, to
help dissipate the heat or warm up the evaporator
coil. Refer to the Data sheet that comes with the
Supply Air Sensor.
The One Zone feature allows the homeowner to
control all the zones from a single thermostat by using
an optional switch connected to the One Zone
terminal shown below. A homeowner can switch to
One Zone control when they leave for vacation or as a
night setback mode, and the Zone 1 thermostat will
control all zones. All zone dampers will respond to the
Zone 1thermostat. Use Part # VAC.
One Zone can also be used in commercial
applications with a programmable thermostat in Zone
1 and non-programmable thermostats in all other
zones, thus satisfying the requirements of California
Title 24.
Substantial energy savings and equipment protection
can be obtained with proper use of the One Zone
feature and the supply air sensor.
