For Cold Start Boiler Application
Operation:
When any thermostat calls for heat, the appropriate circu-
lating pump is energized and the isolated end switch (X and X) will
start the boiler.
For Tankless Coil Boiler Application (Alternative Wiring)
Operation:
When any thermostat calls for heat, the boiler will be enabled
and appropriate circulating pump is energized when the boiler tempera-
ture is above the set low limit and low limit (ZC) dip switch is set to on.
ZC and ZR Terminals:
Connect terminal ZC to ZC terminal on the aqua-
stat control. Connect ZR to ZR terminal on the aquastat control. Confirm
polarity is consistent between boiler aquastat and switching relay.

Priority Operation:
When the priority dip switch is set to ON and the
priority zone is actuated, all other zones will stop operation until pri-
ority zone is satisfied. When not switched to priority, all zones will
operate independently.
Mode Operation:
When the dip switch is set to NORMAL, the end
switch relay will be energized if any zone is in operation. When the switch
is set to RESET, the end switch relay will only be energized if the priority
zone is in operation, or through the operation of a plug-in reset control.
Primary Pump Operation:
When the dip switch is set to OFF, the pri-
mary circulating pump output will energize when any zone calls for heat,
except the priority zone. When the dip switch is set to ON, the prima-
ry circulating pump output will energize when any zone calls for heat.
Post Purge Operation:
When the dip switch is set to ON, the priori-
ty zone output will stay energized for 2 minutes after its thermostat or
aquastat is satisfied, but not operate the boiler.
Priority Protection Operation:
When the dip switch is set to ON, and
if the priority zone calls continuously for more than one hour, power
is returned to all the other zones, allowing each zone to function inde-
pendently. Once the priority zone is satisfied, the control's auto-reset is
activated and the priority zone is again allowed to have priority for up
to one hour starting from when it calls next.
Pump Exercise Operation:
When the dip switch is set to ON, the solid
state timer cycles all the circulating pumps that are attached to the
Expandable Switching Relay at the selected time interval. The time
interval can be set for the pumps to run for either 30 seconds every 2
weeks or for 4 minutes every 24 hours.
Low Limit (ZC) Operation:
When the dip switch is set to ON and the
boiler drops below the set low limit (terminal ZC connected to boiler),
all zone circulating pumps will stop. When the boiler rises above the
set low limit, the zone circulating pumps are allowed to operate.
End Switches (Dry Contacts):
The main end switch closes when any
zone thermostat calls for heat and the mode switch is set to NORMAL.
The main end switch also closes when the mode switch is set to RESET
and a PC Series boiler reset power control is calling for heat. The priori-
ty end switch closes only when the priority zone thermostat or aquastat
is calling for heat.
Expansion Connections:
Set the expansion switch to MASTER on the
switching relay that has the designated priority zone or is utilizing the
PC Series plug-in option. Set all other daisy chained controls to SLAVE.
Using thermostat wire (18-22 gauge) connect between terminals A, B,
C on the master control to the corresponding A, B, C on the SLAVE
control(s). Controls may be daisy chained up to 20 zoning panels using
any combination of -EXP controls (120 zones if all are 6 zone panels).

For Both Cold Start Boiler Application and Tankless Coil Boiler Application (Alternative Wiring)
WARNING:
When using Alternative Wiring diagram, wiring instruc-
tions must be followed so power originates from the boiler aquastat.
Failure to follow these wiring instructions may result in a secondary
source of power being connected to the boiler that may activate it
under certain circumstances, causing injury or death.
For more wiring diagrams, visit
www.taco-hvac.com
.
WARNING:
Wiring connections must be made in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes. Use copper wire only. 120 VAC wiring must have
a minimum temperature rating of 75°C. Failure to follow this instruction
can result in personal injury or death and/or property damage. 12-18 gauge
wire recommended for 120 VAC connections, 14-22 gauge wire for ther-
mostat connections, and 14-22 gauge wire for 24 VAC source connections.
