Zones!
Bumping my system from three zones to ten, this controller was the perfect choice for the master position. Wiring is basic & easy, Controls the furnace & four Taco 007-f5 circulator pumps, and (in my system anyway) two Taco 503 relays.

Fairly good. Could be better.
Needs better construction. The legs that hold the circuit board to chassis are plastic and weak. These were damaged during shipping, causing indicator led lights to be misaligned. Functional but a fail on robust build! Please improve Taco.

Broke down in the first season
Installed in August, indicator lights failed by December, then began sending heat to zones with no signal, called taco they sent me here for a warranty replacement, and Supply House sent me back to Taco on a run around, purchased name brand to avoid this type of trouble, last time I purchase from either company

6 Zone Relay for Circulator Pumps
This is the newest generation 6 zone relay for circulator pumps. It offers R/W/C connections so it will work for Smart thermostats. It also offers Bluetooth connectivity from within the home to check which zone is active or allowing you to force a zone on. It was an easy DIY replacement of an older Taco switching relay.

Q: can i operate a circulator pump like a zone valve using a control box ? or do i need relays for each to power the cir. pumps when the therm calls for heat?
Asked by 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffA switching relay works with circulator pumps as a zone valve control module works with zone valves. The SR506 can control up to 6 pumps if you are zoning by circulator.

Asked by 15 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou would most likely be best off using a 4-zone switching relay. Multiple -EXP units can also be combined.

If you have a 4th zone you should stick with a 4- way.

Asked by 15 years ago

All three zones are getting the signal from their thermostats. Their pumps should be running/the heat should be on.

Q: Hi. I have a zvc 406 with priority installed in my boiler. It powers 4 zones, being the inderect water heater the priority zone. Priority switch is turned off. There are two extra zones. Id like to hook up the infloor zone to one of the zvc 406 extra zones and have the sr501 power the circulator on for the infloor. Do i just tie in the extra end switch from the zvc 406 to the switching relay? if so, where is it? i dont see an end switch on it, only on the sr501 exp. Thanks
Asked by leo 15 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou will tie the extra end switch in the ZVC control to the TT connection in the SR control.

Q: I have this relay installed. It is the non-exp model. I want to take the one of the zones and split it into three other zones running off the same circulator. I will control the three new zones using zone control valves. I have a tankless coil for DHW. How do I go about wiring this up? Do I need to buy extra controllers? Thanks, Craig
Asked by Craigabooey 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou will need a Taco Zone Valve Controller. You will wire the end switch of the zone valve controller to the thermostat connect on your switching relay.

Q: The red and green lights do not come on at all and the Taco is not functioning. Is there a basic troubleshooting sheet available somewhere? Ken
Asked by Kenny the owner 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffWe would recommend that you check all the terminals with a volt meter to make sure they are functioning properly and that you also check the cube relays to see whether or not they need to be replaced.

Q: I am setting up a radiant heat system with 2 zones, heat exchanger and 50 gal water heater. Each zone will be on a separate thermostat. I understand how to connect 2 pumps to run 2 separate zones. However I am not sure how to connect the 3rd pump to circulate hot water between water heater and heat exchanger so it turns on whenever one or both termostats call for heat.
Asked by Pawel 15 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou will also need a single-zone switching relay that the end switch from the two-zone switching relay will tie into.

You essentially have three zones not two. Set up the DHW loop as the third zone and assign priority. This zone needs an Aquastat to set the desired water temp (usually ~160) I suggest using a pre wired zone controller with priority and follow the wiring plans supplied. You can set your boiler controler for "cold start" since there is no need to maintain 160 degree water in the boiler when no zone calls for heat. The DHW water is kept at the pemperature set by its aquastat. Good luck!
