6000 SERIES HUB INSTALLATION LOCATION 1. Mount the 6000 Series Hub near the HVAC equipment, on an interior wall, stud or return duct. See FIGURE 2. FIGURE 2 – 6000 SERIES HUB MOUNTING LOCATION 2. Locate the Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) in the supply trunk, downstream of the heat exchanger and cooling coils, and before the zone dampers (refer to the shaded areas of FIGURE 2).
6000 SERIES HUB WIRING WARNING FIGURE 5 – WIRE TIE MOUNTS 120 volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Sudden operation may cause serious injury from moving parts. Leave power disconnected until installation is complete. Follow these steps for all system connections. Wiring will vary depending on equipment. Wiring of the system must comply with applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. • Use only 18 or 20 gauge solid (non-stranded) wire.
DAMPER • Run 2-conductor thermostat wire for spring return dampers (normally open or normally closed). FIGURE 7 – NORMALLY OPEN / POWER CLOSE DAMPERS • Run 3-conductor thermostat wire for power open/power close dampers. • Multiple dampers for the same zone can be wired in parallel as shown in FIGURES 7 & 8. • Wire the dampers to the 6000 Series Hub: NC – This terminal is used to power open a normally closed damper. For power open and power close dampers this terminal is used to power open the damper.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (INCLUDED) • Wire the outdoor temperature sensor Model 8052 to the “ODT” terminals as shown. See FIGURE 10. FIGURE 10 – OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR • Maximum distance of the ODT sensor from the 6000 Series is 300 feet. • Do not wire along 120VAC lines. • Outdoor temperature sensor should be mounted: MODEL 8052 TEMP SENSOR 90-2088 –– On side of building out of direct sunlight. –– Above snow line. –– At least 3 feet away from exhaust vents and condensing lines.

6000 SERIES CONTROL AND SENSORS INSTALLATION LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS 6000 Series Control and Sensors should be mounted: • On an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space. • Approximately 5 feet above floor. • At least 18" from outside wall. • Displays can be mounted to a vertical junction box. Do not mount: • Behind doors, in corners, or other dead air spaces. • In direct sunlight, near lighting fixtures, or other appliances that give off heat. • On an outside or unconditioned area wall.
WIRING WIRE SPECIFICATIONS: 18-24 gauge thermostat wire FIGURE 21 – 4-WIRE CONNECTION, 6000 SERIES CONTROL INSTALLATION NOTES: Control to Hub • Ensure power at the 6000 Series Hub is off. • Insert stripped wire (Hub). • Loosen screw terminals (Control), insert stripped wire and re-tighten. • Push the excess wire at Control, back into the opening and plug the wall opening to prevent drafts.
INSTALLER SETUP 6000 SERIES CONTROL The 6000 Series Hub is powered by 24VAC. The 6000 Series Control is powered by the 6000 Series Hub. In the case of power loss, the system will maintain the clock for 24 hours. The system has a memory backup that saves the system settings in case of power interruption. The factory reset is located in the Installer Tools option of the Installer Menu. See Installer System Settings section for details.

WI-FI SETUP The 6000 Series Zone Control System can be connected to a Wi-Fi network with the Aprilaire App, on the 6000 Series Control, or with another Wi-Fi device with a web browser. STEP 1: Verify the 6000 Series Control is in Wi-Fi Connection Mode. The 6000 Series Control by default will be in Wi-Fi Connection Mode. To confirm that the 6000 Series Control is in Wi-Fi Connection Mode, verify that the radio bars on 6000 Series Control are strobing as shown below.
6000 SERIES SENSOR ZONE NUMBER SELECTION When the 6000 Series Sensor is connected and powered for the first time it will display – and “select zone”, the installer will be prompted to select a zone number of 2 or 3. Pressing the up or down arrow will display 2 or 3. The 6000 Series Sensor will revert to Room Temperature Display 5 seconds after selecting a zone number. INSTALLER TEST There are two options for performing installer checkout test, from the 6000 Series Control or from the 6000 Series Hub.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The Aprilaire 6000 Series Zone Control System is a heat call priority system with automatic heating/cooling changeover after 20 minutes of operation. If two opposing (heating/cooling) thermostat calls exist while the system is idle, the heating call will be satisfied first. HEAT/COOL CHANGEOVER When a call for heating/cooling exists and an opposing call is made from another zone, a changeover time limit of 20 minutes begins at the time that the opposing call is made.
MULTISTAGE EQUIPMENT STAGING The 6000 Series Zone Control System can be configured to control staging of multi-stage HVAC equipment in two ways, based on the Staging Based On setting. STAGING BASED ON THE ZONE When Staging Based On is set to Zone, the 6000 Series Zone Control System will stage the HVAC equipment to the highest stage call.
TROUBLESHOOTING DISPLAY IS BLANK If Power LED is not illuminated at the 6000 Series Hub check the following: • Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary. • Make sure power switch at heating & cooling system is on. • Make sure furnace door is closed securely. HEATING SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND (“HEATING” APPEARS ON SCREEN) • Check for 24VAC at the equipment on the secondary side of the transformer between power and common.
