in THE MAIN WALL
I installed one of these in 2012 and it has worked flawlessly, but I remember being surprised that the zone panel didn't have an end switch to turn on the boiler. I had to add a relay for every zone. Have any of you figured an alternate way to find a dry contact as I have another install coming up?

    I’m confused, wouldn’t you just use the W ouput from the zone panel to call the boiler? The boiler I assume has a pump relay already on it. Don’t really need end switches if you use a ECM circulator and a differential bypass.

    RH and W are a dry contact if you remove the jumpers

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    I always thought that if you remove the jumper, only Rh is connected to the transformer. The jumper is removed when the a/c unit has its own transformer.

    It's because the boiler already has a pump relay on it that an isolation relay is needed. Can't combine two 24v power sources.
    @Alan (California Radiant) Forbes, I don't see why a set (or 2) of dry contacts can't be incorporated into the zone panel. It can do almost everything else. Its not just HW, I haven't seen that option from any manufacturer. We install a GP relay in the air handler, W from Equipment on the panel energizes the coil and closes TT (RW) at the boiler relay.
