Installation & Operating Instructions
This model is designed and equipped to handle various combinations of zone pumps, various zone valve
types, actuators, etc. The one control board has wiring arrangements for all zone operating devices.
A major feature is built-in automatic stage shedding based upon the capacity of each active zone. This
compensates for any mixture of large and small zones.
Note: Capacity and SIZE dial switches must be set during installation.
Convenience of an attractive wiring center, all connections at easily accessed terminal blocks, LED's, and
simplified zone system installation are also basic to this model.
Special automatic or built-in shift to higher water temperature for priority zone 1. In many combination
temperature installations this feature eliminates mixing valve or injection pump temperature control.
