NO BYPASS NEEDED... an inexpensive alternative to some of the over-hyped products on the market.

Over the last couple of years, many new products have been introduced to the Zone Control market that purport to reduce or eliminate the need for a bypass or dump zone pressure relief setup that has been common since the 1980s.

“Bypass Eliminator” or “Static Pressure Equalizer” … whatever you call it, the concept is basically the same no matter which company or product you are talking about. The concept IS, to leak air into NON-calling zones in order to relieve static pressure in the supply duct instead of using a bypass or a dump zone.

This idea is appealing to many who have not wanted or been able to add a bypass/dump zone but still need some pressure relief in the air system.

ECOJAY has a new solution on the market “SmartStatic”, Much like the competitors, SmartStatic is a device that automatically (based on a static pressure sensor) leaks air in the NON-calling zones to relieve air pressure when needed. The SmartStatic can be used with new installs or with any existing system that uses standard 3-wire (power open / power close) zone dampers.

ALSO, the SmartStatic can be used WITH or WITHOUT a bypass/dump damper for the ultimate flexibility and capability to control static air pressure.
iO Controls, ZoneFirst & others have similar solutions that require specialized and expensive accessories and can’t be used in conjunction with any other pressure relief methods.

SmartStatic can control up to 4 zones on each board but can be chained together to control as many zones as needed with a single static pressure sensor. This is much preferable to some of the alternative methods that use multiple sensors and adjustments that can conflict with each other.

  •     - Economy Mode allows setback of all zones with the     flip of a switch.  When in eco mode, the system will only     energize if zone 1 makes a call.  This feature is great for vacations or if some of the zones are rarely used.
  •     - Fresh air control allows control of an outside air damper and the system fan on a schedule to bring in fresh air in a prescribed amount.  If fresh air control is required, smartzone-4x has it covered with no additional controls required.  Save $
  • - Smartlink: expand to 20 zones by simply connecting multiple 4X boards together with the smartlink bus. Easiest & most cost effective system for more than 5 zones!
• Smart staging & limit protection – by using a sophisticated time and temperature algorithm perfected over decades of programming, smartzone stages up and down in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
• 2nd stage lockout – by setting this dip switch, smartzone will only allow 2nd stage if more than one zone is calling
• Stage from zone 1 thermostat – allows for a multi-stage thermostat to be connected to zone 1 and control zoning instead of SmartZone (not recommended in typical circumstances)
