Thermostat control

I have a new Bosch Greenstar FS with a FW 200 controller. I have an issue that when my thermostat calls for heat, it doesn’t turn on the pump or boiler. I used a multimeter and I have 22 volts across the lines. I noticed even when the thermostat inside the house is turned off, the pump still runs like there is a call for heat. Is there a programing issue with it or something else going on?

    Wher do you have 22v ?
    If the thermostats is calling, the thermostat terminals at the Boiler should read 0 volts.

    No boiler or circ when the thermostat is calling, but the circ runs when theres no heat call?
    Does the burner also fire at that time?

    Well I put one probe on the red wire and the other on the white and I got the 22 volts. I got the same when I tested the terminals on the boiler. I wanted to make sure that I at least had power. When I put the two wires together as well, the pump and boiler wouldn’t turn on. They are supposed to turn on together which they do when there is a call from some other source other than the boiler. I believe the call is from the FW 200 because the thermostat is turned off and I didnt have the wires connected either but I haven’t measured for the zero volts either.
