Resideo ZD16X10TZ Damper

The Resideo ZD16X10TZ is a heavy-duty, 16" x 10" parallel blade zone damper designed for professional HVAC airflow management. Built with a robust extruded aluminum frame and parallel blades, this unit ensures low leakage performance (less than 1% at 0.5 in. WC) in high-static pressure environments up to 1 in. WC. This model serves as the direct replacement for AOBD-16X10 and integrates seamlessly with Honeywell TrueZONE and other 24V electronic zoning systems. The synchronous motor is mounted on the 10-inch side and operates on a power closed/spring return open logic, providing a fail-safe normally-open position during power loss. Key reliability features include Kevlar-reinforced gears and a mechanical visual position indicator for easy status verification. The two-wire installation is simplified via push-terminal blocks, while adjustable range stops allow for precise airflow tuning. Contractors can install the ZD16X10TZ in any orientation, making it a versatile choice for tight duct takeoffs.

• Direct Replacement: Fits the footprint of the legacy AOBD-16X10 for fast retrofitting.
• Rugged Construction: Extruded aluminum blades and frame prevent corrosion and maintain structural integrity.
• Fail-Safe Logic: Power closed/spring return open operation ensures the zone remains open if the 24Vac signal is lost.
• Optimized Sealing: Parallel blade design and extruded seals minimize bypass air when the zone is inactive.
• Flexible Mounting: Side-mounted motor can be positioned on the bottom or side of the ductwork.

What is the torque rating for the ZD16X10TZ motor?
The synchronous motor provides a minimum of 71 in-oz of output torque, ensuring reliable operation even in high-static pressure systems.

Can I use a third wire for status feedback?
Yes, while it is a two-wire installation for power (M1 and M6), an optional M4 terminal is available for LED indication of the damper’s open/closed status.

How long does the actuator take to cycle?
The motor is rated for 30 seconds to power closed and approximately 10 seconds for spring return to the open position.
