Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
Function
This panel can provide distribution, and zoning for a wide variety of hydronic heating applications.
The eectiveness of the system is dependant on the system being designed and installed correctly. Proper consideration
of factors such as BTU loads, outdoor design temperature, indoor design temperature, room set-point temperature(s),
dierential uid temperatures, head loss, ow rates, and transfer capacities of the heat emitters is critical.
Once these factors have been considered and the system requirements determined, these can then be evaluated and
compared to the zone control panel capabilities (refer to pages 6-14).
Note: This panel does not regulate or monitor the operating safety limit temperatures of the uid leaving the heat source.

Unpacking
Step 1 Examine carton for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage is visible notify your courier and
supplier immediately.
Step 2 Open the carton by removing the strapping.
Step 3 Remove the cardboard spacers from the carton, then remove the panel from the carton. Lift the panel by the
enclosure, not the cover.
Step 4 Remove the cover from the panel by unlocking the coin/screwdriver locks. Lift the top of the cover upwards to
disengage the tongues from the slots at the bottom of the panel and then pull the cover o.
Step 5 Verify the following items:
• (2) 1" rubber washers (2 spares)
This panel is heavy; 2-3 person lift required.

StatLink® 6 Zone Base Module (40226)
The StatLink® base module connects room thermostats to their corresponding actuators. Each zone has an LED which
indicates if it is calling for heat. A timer thermostat (46643 or 46673) can send a setback signal to other thermostats via
terminal Clock 1 or 2. As soon as there is a heat demand from one zone, a relay with two dry contacts is switched on (Pump,
Boiler …). Add more zones by plugging in the #40234 or #40242 module.
Specications:
• Actuator Contact: Triac
• Pump Contact: DPST NO relay (8 amps)
• Other Contact: DPST NO relay (8 amps)
• Timer Channels: 2

Primary Balancing.
Black cap for manual shut-off only.
Use drip cap ➀for balancing.
Balancing Method 1:
Valve setting or ow characteristic
known (pre-balancing)
1. Fully open supply valve (ow
meter) [factory open].
2. Close return valve completely
[factory open].
3. Open return valve the number of
turns as per heatloss calculation or
friction head graph.
4. After all valves are set, eld
adjustments may be necessary.
Notes:
• Hose bib thread is an ASME thread.➁
• After ll procedure: the drip cap ➀should be
placed back on to the hose bib ➁.
• Pipe to manifold connectors sold separately.
Balancing Method 2:
Only ow rate known
1. Ensure all supply valves are open
[factory open].
2. Ensure all return valves are open
(remove black cap).
3. Use the return valve to adjust ow
to desired setting (ow meter).
4. Valves adjusted rst may need to
be re-adjusted once all other loops
have been set.
Remove locking cap to adjust flow meter.
Please note:
Do not use tools to adjust flow
meters. (Damage to the flow meter
will occur, and will not be covered
under warranty).
Balancing Notes:
Return : Use for primary balancing purposes and manual shut-o. Use drip cap
to adjust the return manifold.➀➁
Caution: Opening the return valve too far will result in removing
the valve stem.
Supply : Use for secondary balancing / ne tuning the ow rate. Remove
locking cap to adjust the ow meter by hand, do not use tools.
Flow meter balancing adjustment range:
0-1.5 US gpm or 0-5 L/min.

Surface Mount Housing Mounting
Prior to mounting the panel, ensure the wall is capable
of supporting the weight of the panel.
Step 1 Determine the locations and distance between
the wall studs. With a level at a minimum
height of 4' from the oor draw a straight line
on the wall and mark the stud locations.
If the housing cannot be secured directly to
the studs, or suitable backing boards, plywood
may need to be installed behind the housing to
properly secure it in place.
Step 3 Screw three of the supplied mounting screws
into the wall studs (or backing plywood)
leaving ¼" of screw out from the wall.
Step 4 Lift and place the housing onto the mounting
screws.
Step 5 Screw the remaining mounting screws into the
holes at the bottom of the housing and tighten
the top screws.

Step 3 Connect all tubing to manifold adapters. (77100 series connecters sold separately)
1. Lubricate the inside of the manifold port with silicone o-ring lubricant (#79952 sold separately).
2. Cut the PEX tubing at a 90˚ angle.
3. Place the Nut and Split Ring Ferrule onto the PEX tubing.
Note: For the 3⁄4" connecter, the Split RIng Ferrule must be placed inside the Nut before putting them onto the
PEX tubing.

5. Push the Brass Insert onto the PEX tubing as far as it will go.
6. Push the PEX tubing with Brass Insert as far as it will go into the manifold module. Ensure the o-ring is clean and
take care not to pinch it.

Fill And Purge
The following steps are recommended in order to ll the panel
with water and purge entrained air once piping is completed,
and before activation of the panel.
Note: Additional purging steps may be required for the rest of
the hydronic system.
Note: Isolation and drain valves are not included with the
panel, but are necessary to properly ll and purge the
panel, and to isolate the panel for service.
Step 1 Ensure the panel is not powered.
Step 2 Fully close valves A, B, and C. Fully close all supply
Eand all return Fmanifold valves.
Fully open valve D.
Step 3 Attach a purge hose (not included) to D. Pressurize
the main supply line. Open valve B.
Step 4 Open the rst return manifold valve F. Open the rst
supply manifold valve E. Watch the hose in the pail
until you observe a steady stream of water (no air or
spitting). Close the rst return manifold valve F.
Step 5 Repeat Step 4 for each loop until all loops are lled
with water, and air is purged from pipes.
Step 6 Purging is complete when there is no more air and/or
spitting. Close valve Dthen valve B.
Step 7 Remove hose from drain valve D.
Step 8 Check for leaks at connections. If any leaks are found
use a back-up wrench and carefully tighten until leak
stops. Do not overtighten.
The discharged system uid from the ll and purge
process is not for consumption or washing.
