Introduction

The Switching Relay 

304P

 connects up to four thermostats and operates circulators to provide heating to a zoned hydronic 

heating system. Zone 1 has optional priority over zones 2 through 4 and can be used to provide heat to an indirect 
domestic hot water tank. The 304P includes optional exercising to prevent circulator seizure when not in use, and optional 
post purge operation of the last operating zone to maximize energy savings. The 304P provides a RoomResponse

TM

 

signal to modulating-condensing boilers to optimize comfort while improving boiler efficiency.

User Interface - Indicator LED

Sequence of Operation

Zone Operation

When a thermostat calls for heat by closing the R and W 
terminals:
•  115 V (ac) is applied to the corresponding circulator pump.
•  The corresponding zone indicator LED is turned on.

Boiler Operation

When a thermostat calls for heat by closing the R and W 
terminals:
•  The boiler end switch XX is closed to fire the boiler.
•  The RoomResponse

TM

 0-10 V (dc) or 4-20 mA signal is sent 

to a modulating-condensing boiler.

DHW Operation

Many modulating-condensing boilers have multiple temperature 
call inputs. Wire the DHW end switch to input recommended 
in the boiler's manual.
When a zone 1 calls for heat by closing the R and W terminals:
•  The DHW end switch is closed to fire the boiler at the DHW 

temperature.

•  The Mod Boiler output is changed to 10 V (dc) or 20 mA.

Master / Member DIP Switch

•  Allows for unlimited expansion using additional Switching 

Relays and/or Zone Valve Controls.

•  The Master Switching Relay is wired and operates the boiler.
•  If using a single Switching Relay set to Master.
•  When using multiple Switching Relays and/or Zone Valve 

Controls, set one control to Master and set all other con-
trols to Member.

T-Stat 1 Priority DIP Switch

When T-Stat 1 is calling for heat by closing the R and W 
terminals:
•  115 V (ac) is applied to the zone 1 circulator pump.
•  Zone 1 indicator LED is turned on.
•  Priority indicator LED is turned on.
•  Zones 2 to 6 circulator pumps and LEDs are turned off.
•  Expansion Member controls shut off their zones.
•  After 60 minutes of continuous zone 1 call for DHW heating, 

zones 2 to 6 and all Expansion Member control zones are 
able to turn back on. This prevents building freeze up if the 
DHW tank aquastat fails in the closed position.

Exercising DIP Switch

ON: Each circulator pump is energized for 30 seconds every 
72 hours.
OFF: Circulator pump exercising disabled.

Post Purge DIP Switch

ON: After the last thermostat stops calling for heat, the last 
circulator pump remains on for 2 minutes to purge heat from 
the boiler to the zone.
OFF: Post purge disabled.

Mod Boiler DIP Switch

Select either 0-10 V (dc) or 4-20 mA signal to the modulating 
condensing boiler. Consult the boiler manual to determine 
the signal type. The DIP switch position does not matter if 
the modulating boiler output is not used.

Fuses

•  All fuses are T5A 250V slow blow.
•  Fuses 1 to 4 correspond to the zone 1 to 4 circulator pump 

output. If a fuse is blown, first check that the pump is not 
seized and the wiring is not shorted. Then replace the fuse.

•  Fuse 7 and 8 correspond to the 24 V (ac) transformer power 

supply. If a fuse is blown, first check that the thermostat 
wiring is not shorted. Then replace the fuse.

Connect the five wires of the expansion bus from the master 
to the member controls.

RoomResponse

TM

 Signal

The RoomResponse

TM

 signal adjusts the temperature of a 

modulating condensing boiler that accepts a 0-10 V(dc) or 
4-20 mA input. It works by continually adjusting boiler water 
temperatures to the lowest possible value to meet comfort 
without wasting energy. This is done by monitoring each 
thermostat's on and off time pattern and determines the ideal 
water temperature for each zone. The control then chooses the 
highest water temperature requirement of all the thermostats 
and provides a 0-10 V (dc) or 4-20 mA signal proportional to 
the boiler operating temperature. The RoomResponse

TM

 signal 

is a DOE compliant method of controlling boiler temperature 
to building load. The RoomResponse

TM

 signal is not available 

to on/off boilers.
Benefits of the RoomResponse

TM

 signal include:

•  Increase in boiler efficiency
•  Reduction in room temperature swing
•  Reduction in expansion noises from heating pipes

Mod Max % Dial

The upper limit of the 0-10 V (dc) or 4 -20 mA signal to the 
modulating condensing boiler can be set using the Mod Max 
% Dial.
This sets the upper temperature limit for the boiler.

The dial is only applicable to controls set as the Master.

limited to the original cost of the defective product, and such repair, exchange or 
credit shall be the sole remedy available from tekmar, and, without limiting the 
foregoing  in  any  way,  tekmar  is  not  responsible,  in  contract,  tort  or  strict  prod-
uct liability, for any other losses, costs, expenses, inconveniences, or damages, 
whether direct, indirect, special, secondary, incidental or consequential, arising 
from ownership or use of the product, or from defects in workmanship or materials,
