• Built-in timer and boiler functions: Provides additional control options for optimizing system operation and energy efficiency.
• External diagnostic lights: Facilitate troubleshooting by indicating system status and zone operation.
• Compact design: Optimizes space utilization in control panels.
• Compatible with various valve types: Works with 2-, 3-, or 4-wire zone valves for flexibility in system design.

Applications:

• Hydronic heating systems: Ideal for radiant, baseboard, or fan coil systems in residential and commercial settings.
• Closed cooling circuits: Can be used for zoned air conditioning systems.
• Hydronic heating and cooling systems: Combines heating and cooling zones for year-round comfort.

Additional Features:

• Field-replaceable transformer: Facilitates easy maintenance if needed.
• Universal thermostat compatibility: Works with a wide range of thermostats.
• Fuse-protected: Ensures electrical safety.

Things to Consider:

• System compatibility: Verify compatibility with your system’s voltage, control signals, and valve types.
• Installation complexity: While DIY installation is possible, consulting a qualified professional is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
• Expansion modules: If you need more than 6 zones, additional SR506-EXP units will be required.
