Installation of a c wire

I am using a taco SR 501 switching relay for my three zone propane, gas furnace. I have the basic thermostats now just use a red and white wire. I want to add a setback thermostat that requires a c wire. The switching relay has a 24 V AC common. My thermostats are not directly connected to the TT terminals. How can I use the c wire or do I need to connect a separate 24v transformer between my c wire and my red wire going to the thermostat

Do you have zone valves or zone pumps?
With zone pumps the SR-503-4 would be appropriate.
With zone valves the ZVC-403-4 Would be best.
I don’t understand how you intend to use a single zone pump relay to run 3 zones. The transformer is not sized for that."If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"

I agree with you 100%. The system in my mind was putting incorrectly but then again I’m not an expert. I bought a 24 V transformer. I solved the problem with that. I just thought that I could use the one that was on the Taco, thank you0

@mograteful, we need to get back to basics. What is the thermostat that you want to replace connected to? Since you have 3 zones I assume you have three thermostats. each of those thermostats has a wire connected to the W terminal on the thermostat. The other end of that wire is connected to __________?
I feel like Gene Rayburn with that last question.Edward Young Retired
After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?
