Which wires go where?

in THE MAIN WALL
Okay, with your help (thanks to everyone) the Buderus is rolled in on plastic pipes, slid onto a brick platform, piped to a manifold for 5 zones, vented with 6" pipe, properly supplied with gas and ready to go...but the wiring.

The old 1940 Capitol had a Honeywell aquastat on one of the risers.Wires seem to link up and come to it from the zone valves. I get this. From the aquastat, 3 wires went to the gas valve.

The Buderus comes with a fancy Honeywell aquastat mounted inside the front cover panel, with the wiring to the adjacent gas valve fully in place already.

Okay, I discard the old aquastat, and the old wires from it to the old gas valve. I hook the old wires that inputted to the old aquastat into the new aquastat. Right? Any thoughts on which posts?

i know this is basic as can be, but I'm real tired and SHE wants heat here in Minnesota. thankyou, joe

    A basic hook up

    You should have a 24volt transformer large enough to power the total amount current draw of the zone valves. They are rated in Volt'-amps. Now each of the zones should be wired . Trans terminal-thermostat, thermostat-zonevalve motor, zonevalvemotor-other terminal of transformer....... Now each of the zonevalve's end switch wires will go to TT in the relay .... Now the relay will power the circulator and the burner together . You may have a triple aquatsat already there ??????? Were you tie in the circulator to C1 terminal... Now the relay should also power a transformer for the gas valve...... Come back with the control model numbers to be sure....
