Operation/External Diagnostics: When any thermostat calls for
heat, the appropriate zone valve is energized and the yellow light goes
on. When the zone valve is fully open, the red light goes on and ener-
gizes the end switch relays. The green light should always be on, indi-
cating that power is connected.
Priority Operation: When zone 6 is switched to the priority setting
and is actuated, all other zones will stop operation until zone 6 is sat-
isfied. When zone 6 is not switched to priority, all zones will operate
independently. Note: When a circulator is used on the priority zone
instead of a zone valve, jumper 3 and 4 of the priority zone.
Mode Operation: When the mode switch is set to NORMAL, both end
switch relays will be energized if any zone is in operation. When the
mode switch is set to RESET, the end switch relay “A” will only be ener-
gized when the priority zone is in operation. The end switch relay “B”
will be energized when any zone is in operation
Power Input: Connect 120 volt ac power input to leads on trans-
former. Neutral to white wire. Hot to black wire.
Expansion Connections: Set the expansion switch to MASTER on the
zone valve control that has the designated priority zone or is utilizing
the PowerPort options. Set all other daisy chained controls to SLAVE.
Connect thermostat wire (18-22 gauge) between terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 on
the master control to the corresponding 1, 2, 3, 4 on the SLAVE control(s).
Controls may be daisy chained up to 20 zones using any combination
of Switching Relay -EXP or Zone Valve -EXP controls.
The Taco Connection: Combine the reliability of the Taco Zone Valves,
Priority Zoning Circulators, Thermostats, and the “00” family of circula-
tors with the advanced features of the Taco Zone Controls to achieve
total system integration. No matter the application, Taco now provides
the products to maximize system performance while simplifying both
installation and service.
