Grundfos UPZCP-3, 3-Zone Pump Control - Set-up?
Hydronicolic
Member Posts: 16
I have a 2-zone RFH system being heated with a Tankless Heater. I have the 3-Zone Pump control set-up with the Tankless pump on the 3rd zone relay. I wired the End-switch terminal over to the TT terminal on the 3rd relay thinking, on a call for heat, the end-switch will make and start the Tankless pump. When ALL calls are satisfied, the End-switch opens and the Tankless pump shuts off. What is happening: it works on the start-up, but when ALL zones are satisfied, the End-switch doesn't open unless I kill power to the Control, leaving the Tankless pump running continuously. THE QUESTION: Is there a way to make this work?

A single pump system? Does the tankless supply DHW also? Or just dedicated to heat?Bob "hot rod" Rohr

I've used a separate single zone relay in the past but thought, "what the heck" save the cost and labor of the 2nd control.
I was wondering if tying in a resistor between the E.S. and the 3rd Zone relay TT might create enough load to make this go away, while realizing I'm not an electrical engineer.0 -
If you are trying to control 3 circulators a ZVR?
\The ZSR is the control for switching circulators Zone Switching Relay
The ZVR Zone Valve Relay is a 24V relay for powering zone valves.
There may be a work around
You have 2 zone pumps and a boiler primary circ that needs to run with either zone circ?Bob "hot rod" Rohr

That is correct. 2 Zone pumps, and 1 Heater pump on the 3rd Zone relay contacts.0 -
Wire your primary pump to the "Primary Pump" terminals with all the dip switches in the off position. Remove the wires from the end switch to zone 3 TT terminals.

I see a problem with the vent pipe connection to the Takagi boiler. The installation manual says the vent pipe must be inserted inside the collar, not outside. This is to ensure that a leak-free seal can be made with the o-ring inside the collar.
Here's what my last Takagi install looks like.
