QUALITY & DEPENDABILITY
| Use your T.E.C. Zone System to direct air flow away from
unoccupied areas of your home, maintain a greater comfort in occupied areas, and
help reduce your energy cost. ONE STORY
|
|
| The idea behind the T.E.C Zone System is really a simple one. Many
of the rooms in a home are not occupied much of the time: during the daytime the bedrooms
are empty; and late at night no one is in the kitchen and living areas. If the
unoccupied areas can be shut off, the occupied areas can be heated or cooled more quickly
and for less energy cost. The T.E.C. Zone System divides a home into two zones, with each zone having its own thermostat and an electrically operated damper in the trunk line feeding that zone. When the thermostat in zone 1 calls for air (either cooling or heating), the trunk line damper feeding Zone 2 closed. And when the thermostat in Zone 2 calls for air, the trunk line damper for Zone 1 closes, forcing the air into the zone where is needed and only where it is needed. When the thermostats in both zones call for air, both dampers remain open. The T.E.C. Zone System has another feature which offers substantial design flexibility,
that is the ability to prioritize the zones When this feature is used, Zone 1 has
priority over Zone 2. Anytime Zone 1 calls for air, the trunk line damper for Zone 2
is closed until the Zone 1 thermostat is satisfied. When the Zone 1 thermostat is
satisfied, Zone 2 can receive air Using the prioritizing feature, the system never
tries to heat or cool more than one zone at a time! |
T.E.C. ZONE SYSTEM FEATURES
System Efficiency: By directing the air flow into only that area where it is needed rather than the entire home, the system is allowed to function much more efficiently.
Design flexibility: The T.E.C. Zone System offers the designer more precise regulation of air flow and more accurate temperature regulation.
User Flexibility: The user is allowed the ultimate flexibility in setting the comfort level in his home.
Whole Home Comfort: The trunk line dampers are to restrict air flow when closed but not to tightly seal the duct. About 15% of the total air volume will flow through the closed damper and help maintain a reasonable comfort level in the unoccupied zone.
Equipment Savings: With the T.E.C.Zone System, the need for a second air conditioner in two story homes can be completely eliminated along with the expense of maintaining a second unit In many cases, a smaller unit can be used since the T.E.C. Zone System automatically directs the air flow to meet the requirements where severe conditions exist.
System Interlocks: The T.E.C.Zone System is electrically
interlocked so that heating and cooling cannot be called for at the same time. It is also
interlocked through its control panel, so that it cannot close both trunk line dampers at
the same time When neither of the thermostats is calling for air, both trunk line
dampers are spring-loaded to open position.

SYSTEM OPERATION
To maximize the savings that are possible with a T.E.C. Zone System, the system should be operated as follows:
| During the day, set the Zone 1 (living area) thermostat for a comfortable temperature and set the Zone 2 (bedrooms) thermostat at 85 degrees for cooling or 60 degrees for heating At night, simply reverse the thermostat settings. The Zone 1 thermostat should be set at 85 degrees for cooling or 60 degrees for heating, the Zone 2 thermostat should be set at a comfortable level. |
If it is desired, night set back thermostats may be used and programmed for this operation.

T.E.C. ZONE SYSTEM QUALITY
The quality found in any kind of equipment begins with design. Rugged dependability is the first priority in the design of the T.EC. Zone System.
A great design is a necessary ingredient for a quality product, but design alone does not
guarantee success. It is for this reason that each individual part is inspected at every
step in the manufacturing process. When the components are completed, each control
panel is thoroughly inspected and tested, and each individual damper is tested and
inspected. After all the quality inspections and tests have been completed, and just
before the unit is packaged for shipment, it is tested one more time and inspected one
more time.
WARRANTY
All equipment sold and installed by Maverick Technical Systems, Inc., will be warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of eighteen (18) months from delivery date or one (1) year from start-up date Any failed part or component that is covered by this warranty will be repaired or replaced, at the option of Maverick Technical Systems, Inc., when the item is returned to Maverick Technical systems, Inc.
This warranty does NOT cover:
| (a) Damage caused by misuse or abuse |
| (b) Fuses and lamps |
| (c) INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE |
