Zoning with zone valves
1. Connect boiler to system as shown in
zoning. The primary/secondary piping shown ensures the boiler
loop will have sufficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head
of the boiler circulator to the zone valves. Also see the information
on page 14 and page 15 for suggested piping and sizing.

primary/secondary piping as shown.
low these guidelines could result in system problems.
2. When using a closed-type expansion tank, connect the expansion
tank and make-up water piping as shown in Figure 4, page 11. (DO
NOT use a closed-type tank with a PLUS water heater.)
3. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage
water heater as shown.
By default, the U-Control Module turns off space heating
during DHW heating (if DHW input is priority 1). The
boiler circulator will turn off, preventing hot water from
circulating to the system (optional timeout setting can
be used to override). The flow/check valve shown on the
boiler outlet piping prevents gravity circulation in the
boiler loop during DHW heating.
4. Controlling the circulators
a. The U-Control can control up to three circulators (boiler cir-
culator and two others). Refer to Field wiring, beginning on
page 26, for instructions on wiring to circulators.
b. The factory default settings are: DHW circulator as Circula-
tor 1, boiler circulator as Circulator 2 and system circulator
as Circulator 3. See Field wiring instructions, beginning on
page 26, for details.
