You can connect two SR504-EXP switching relays together by setting one to "master" and one to "slave," while plugging the expansion wires on the master unit into the expansion ports on the slave unit.
Switching relays control zones that are zoned by circulator pump and zone valve controls are used on systems that zone by zone valve. EXP models are expandable and you can add controls/relays to them. If you are zoning by zone valve, for example, you could use two ZVC404-EXP.
We would recommend pulling the power from a transformer for the thermostats.
According to the manufacturer, the ZR terminal is 120-volt output. ZC is 120-volt input to power the circulator relays, which helps explain the need for the jumper. You can use the ZR terminal for 120-volt output, provided you leave the jumper in place.
Yes, you will need to wire the thermostat to the SR501-2 and wire the end switch of the SR503-2 thermostat connection. You want to cycle on when there is a call for heat.
We would recommend that you check the wiring on the unit to make sure one of the leads is not damaged or defective. You cannot add a PC700 to the SR503-2; you would need the SR503-EXP unit for that.
The zone valve controller can activate the pump. You will not need a switching relay to control the zone pump.
This relay is designed for use with pumps. You will need a Zone Valve Controller (ZVC).
It sounds to us like it could be a wiring issue. We recommend that you go back and check your low voltage and line voltage configurations.
No, they cannot. You will end up back feeding to other thermostats that are not calling for heat. We recommend that you look at the ZVC405-3 instead.
The SR501-2 is looking for closure of a dry contact which in your case is any of the five end switches. If the end switches are wired in parallel and tie to the "T T" terminals the control will start the boiler and pump when any of the five zone valves opens. Do not attempt to isolate the low voltage source inside the SR501-2 as the control transformer for your five thermostats and zone valves it does not have the necessary volt-amperage to manage the loads other than its own internal control. You may use an external transformer likely a 60VA with circuit breaker for control of the five thermostats and zone valves. The secret when working with this control is to use a "dry contact" relay or end switch to activate the control. Make certain that there is no external low voltage source connected with your end switches. The Taco control uses its own transformer to run power across the "T-T" terminals. Mixing an external voltage source by accident will likely burn out a transformer.
