Check That You Have All the
Necessary Equipment For a
Successful Installation
• AQ2000 Series components

— AQ Expansion Zoning Panel(s)
— Digital Thermostats (one for every space heating zone
being controlled)
• Low voltage thermostat wire
• Zoning equipment (zone valves or pumps)
Read All Instructions Carefully
Before Proceeding
The AQ2000 Series Control Panels are a part of a totally new
family of hydronic controls. And although they, and other
AQ2000 system components, are very easy to install and
operate, they are different than other hydronic controls that you
have previously installed. Take a moment to read through this
document before
beginning the installation. Failure to follow
these instructions could damage the product or cause a
hazardous condition.
Familiarize Yourself With the AQ255 /
AQ257 Expansion Zoning Panel
Refer to Fig. 1 on page 3. In general, the top terminals of all
AQ255 / AQ257 Expansion Zoning Panels carry low voltage
(24Vac) power and the bottom terminals carry either line
voltage (120 Vac) power for the AQ25542B and AQ25582B
models, or low voltage (24 Vac) power for the AQ25742B and
AQ25744B models. The two exceptions to this are:
1. AQ25744B Expansion Zoning Panel for use with zone
valves with
end switches.
2. AQ25742B Expansion Zoning Panel when used with low
voltage zone valves without end switches.
For these the two exceptions, the bottom terminals of the
AQ10X38 Transformer carry line voltage (120 Vac), but the
bottom terminals of the Zoning Module will carry low voltage
(24 Vac) power.
