Radiant Heat Issues controlled by WIRSBO panel

in Radiant Heating
I purchased a residence which had a HTP boilter and two WIRSBO four panel controllers. One of the controllers has a red light on all the time. I have no idea what any of these lights mean. The wiring is messy and is confusing. My house is heating ok with multiple zones, but I dont understand it. Where can I get more information or talk to someone. Thanks

    Take a picture of the Wirsbo panel and post it here. A picture is best because you may have an older version of this item https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.supplyhouse.com/product_files/A3031003-User-Guide.pdf

    1. The general idea is that a room sensor of some type (Floor temperature or wall thermostat) will signal the zone motors on the manifold (the one with the valves) will open one or more valves so heated water can flow.
    2. Once the valve is open fully, there is a switch in the valve head (motor(s) on top of the manifold valve) the switch is called an end switch.
    3. The end switch will activate the heating unit (Your HTP)
    4. The boiler (your HTP) will heat the water and a circulator pump willl make it flow thru the manifold valves that are open > Thru the floor tubing > release some heat to the floors > and return back to the boiler to be heated again.
    5. This continues until the room sensor is satisfied.
    6. Then the valve motors allow the valves to close.
    7. Then the boiler will shut off and stop making heat. (Provided there are no other zones calling, which in the very cold winter days, may not happen very often)

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    The two boxes appear to be different generations. Maybe one was replaced at some time. I can I.D. the top box part number as A303004, circa 2005. It was discontinued in 2013.
