Introduction

The Switching Relay

306

P connects up to six thermostats and operates circulators to provide heating to a zoned hydronic

heating system. Zone 1 has optional priority over zones 2 through 6 and can be used to provide heat to an indirect

domestic hot water tank. The 306P includes optional exercising to prevent circulator seizure when not in use, and optional

post purge operation of the last operating zone to maximize energy savings. The 306P provides a RoomResponse

signal to modulating-condensing boilers to optimize comfort while improving boiler efficiency.

Radio Frequency Interference The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic noise. Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
PAGE 4
Application 306P–1 The Switching Relay 306P operates the circulators for six heating zones when the corresponding thermostat calls for heat. The boiler is fired whenever a zone calls for heat.
PAGE 5
Application 306P–2 The Switching Relay 306P operates six heating zone circulators when the corresponding thermostat calls for heat. Zone 1 heats a domestic hot water tank. When priority is selected, zones 2 through 6 shut off when zone 1 is heating. The boiler is fired when there is a call for heat.
PAGE 6
Application 306P–3 Two Switching Relay 306P operate twelve heating zone circulators. The two controls are connected together using an expansion bus wire. The master 306P fires the boiler when any zone calls for heat. If priority is selected, zones 2 through 12 shut off when zone 1 is calling for heat.

User Interface - Indicator LED Power • On when 115 V (ac) is applied. • Off when power disconnected or transformer fuse is blown. Priority • On when zone 1 has priority over zones 2 to 6. RoomResponseTM • On when modulating condensing boiler is operating below maximum setting. Zone 1 • On when thermostat 1 calls for heat. Zones 2 to 6 • On when the corresponding thermostat calls for heat. • Off during priority operation. • Off when corresponding thermostat stops calling for heat.
PAGE 8
RoomResponseTM Signal The RoomResponseTM signal adjusts the temperature of a modulating condensing boiler that accepts a 0-10 V(dc) or 4-20 mA signal input. It works by continually adjusting boiler water temperatures to the lowest possible value to meet comfort without wasting energy. This is done by monitoring each thermostat's on and off time pattern and determines the ideal water temperature for each zone.
