This manual is intended to familiarize the installer and hazard. Improper installation could result in death user of the Argo ARM Series Switching Relays with their or serious injury. Read this manual and understand installation and operation to assure normal trouble-free all requirements before beginning installation.
NOTE: The 4-zone ARM-4P is featured in this manual. Expansion module plug-in – makes adding zone(s) easy The ARM2-P, ARM-3P, and ARM-6P circulator relays have and economical through the use of the Argo AD-1 & identical electrical specifications. Differences in operating AD-4 expansion modules.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Electrical Specifications & Wiring MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Mount Argo ARM Series Switching Relays vertically on a WARNING solid wall or partition. Manufacturer recommends, for your convenience, that the Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect power before control be mounted as close as possible to the device to be installing or servicing.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Sequence of Operation When a zone calls for heat (circuit is closed) Isolated switch coil is energized and the contact closes. X-X switch is closed. (X1-X1 and X2-X2 switches closed on ARM-2P) and X-X indicator light turns on. Controller relay closed and ZC-ZR indicator light turns on.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARM “COLD START” APPLICATION Factory installed jumper between ZC and ZR. Each zone thermostat will signal the ARM control to operate its zone circulator and start the boiler through the XX isolated end switch. JUMPER Placed between terminals ZC and ZR.

INSTALLATION MANUAL AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARM “TANKLESS COIL” APPLICATION REMOVE factory installed jumper between ZC and ZR. ARM “TANKLESS COIL” APPLICATION Tankless coil requires a boiler aquastat. Each zone thermostat will signal the ARM to start its zone circulator and send a call for heat to the boiler aquastat.
Page 12
When using ZC-ZR careful attention must be paid to keeping the polarity of the wiring consistent between the Argo control and the boiler aquastat. Failure to do so could result in a secondary source of power activating the boiler under certain circumstances which could result in serious injury or death.
AD-1 Expansion Module plugs into the ARM-2P, ARM- to zone module terminal. If additional zones are 3P, ARM-4P, and ARM-6P to provide one additional required a telephone jack tee adapter (Argo Item heating zone. #J8) can be plugged into the “in” from master Multiples of AD-1 (single zone) Expansion Modules can terminal.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARM WITH /POWER ROBBING THERMOSTAT Argo ARM control works well with all standard and most programmable setback thermostats. If the programmable thermostat you are using causes the control board relays to chatter, you will need an external 24V power supply (transformer) and Argo IR882 Isolation Relay.
Field-mounted 40 VA transformer (not used on AD-1, or AD-4) Telephone Jack Tee Adapter TECHNICAL SUPPORT For technical support on this and all Argo products, please contact ECR International Technical Service at 1-800-325-5479. Please have your model number available when calling.
