What labor savings are realized when using the Zipset compared to other devices?
First, the Mechanical and/or Sheet Metal contractor can more closely estimate the installation time, which is realistically five minutes or less for the ZSA-1 actuator and the same for the ceiling receptacle. With most mechanical cable systems, with the measure–and–cut cable requirement, you can never be sure if it would average thirty minutes or three hours to install each mechanism. On a project having 20 or maybe 100 damper locations, this can be a significant “guesstimate”. Second, due to the ingenious simplicity of the ZS design, the contractor’s installing personnel have minimal installation issues since there is no such thing as a “custom” installation. One size fits all. The only variable is the length of the power/signal cable and that is added without the use of any tools. And even if you guess the cable length wrong, you just wind the excess onto the built–in take up spool. Third, when straight, square rod, universal joints, slide or twist cable mechanisms are used to operat
