zone controller
(for controlling 1 to 4 heating zones)
Operating Instructions

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ZONE CONTROLLER
As the boilers usually have only one connection point for
thermostats, a zone controller is needed in order to divide the
heating system into zones, to control the zone valves and to
control the boiler from more than one thermostat. The zone
controller receives switching signals from the thermostats,
controlstheboilerandgivescommandstoopen/closetheheating
zone valves (max. 4 zones) associated with the thermostats.
It can control 1 to 4 heating zones, which are regulated by a
wired switch-operated thermostat. The zones can operate
independently from each other or, in case of need, all zones can
operate at the same time.

To control more than 4 zones at a time we recommend using
2 or more
COMPUTHERM
Q4Z zone controllers. In this case,
the potential-free connection points controlling the boiler (NO
and COM) should be connected to the boiler in parallel.
2. The connecTion poinTs of The zone conTroller,
mosT imporTanT Technical daTa
Each of the 4 heating zones have an associated pair of
connection points; one for a room thermostat and one for
a zone valve/pump. The thermostat of the rst zone (T1)
controls the zone valve/pump of the rst zone (Z1), the
thermostat of the second zone (T2) controls the zone valve/
pump of the second zone (Z2) etc. Following the heating
3

command of the thermostats, 230V AC voltage appears on
the connection points of the zone valves associated with the
thermostats, and the zone valves/pumps connected to these
connection points open/start. For ease of use, the connection
points associated with the same zone have the same color.
The rst and second zones, beside their regular connection
points, also have a joint connection point for a zone valve/
pump (Z1-2). If any of the rst two thermostats (T1 and/or T2)
switches on, then beside the 230V AC voltage appearing at Z1
and/or Z2, 230V AC voltage appears on Z1-2 too, and the zone
valves/pumps connected to these connection points open/
start. This Z1-2 connection point is suitable to control the zone
valves/pumps in such rooms (e.g. the hall or the bathroom),
4

which do not have a separate thermostat, do not need heating
at all times but need heating when any of the rst two zones heat.
The third and fourth zones, similarly to the rst and second
zones, have a joint connection point for a zone valve/pump
(Z3-4), too. If the third and/or fourth thermostat (T3 and/or T4)
switches on, then beside the 230V AC voltage appearing at
Z3 and/or Z4, 230V AC voltage appears on Z3-4 too.
Moreover, the four heating zones also have a joint
connection point for a zone valve/pump (Z1-4). If any of the
four thermostats (T1, T2, T3 and/or T4) switches on, then
beside the 230V AC voltage appearing at Z1, Z2, Z3 and/
or Z4, 230V AC voltage appears on Z1-4 too. This Z1-4

connection point is suitable to control the heating in such
rooms (e.g. the hall or the bathroom), which do not have
a separate thermostat, do not need heating at all times
but need heating when any of the four zones heat. This
connection point is also suitable for controlling a central
circulating pump, which starts whenever any of the heating
zones starts. When the delayed start of the boiler function is
activated (see the next paragraph), the delay is applicable for
the Z1-4 connection point too.
The rst, second, third and fourth zones also have a joint
potential-free connection point that controls the boiler (NO
and COM). These connection points clamp shut following
the heating command of any of the four thermostats, and
6

this starts the boiler. This connection point is also equipped
with a delaying circuit. In case of using an electro-thermal
zone valve that operates slowly and all the zones are closed
when the boiler is inactive, then the boiler should be started
with a delay in order to protect the pump of the boiler. This
delay is activated in the ON position of the jumper (black plug)
“DELAY” (the delay is 4 minutes).
3. locaTion of The device
It is reasonable to locate the zone controller near the boiler
and/or the manifold in a way, so that it is protected from
dripping water, extreme heat and mechanical damage.

4. insTalling The zone conTroller and puTTing
iT inTo operaTion
To install the zone controller, detach its rear panel from its
front panel by loosening the screws at the bottom of the
cover. By this, the connection points of the thermostats, the
zone valves/pumps, the boiler and the power supply are
unblocked.
Selectthelocationofthezonecontrollerneartheboilerand/or
the manifold and create the holes on the wall for installation.
Connectthewires oftheneededheatingequipment(thewires
of the thermostats, the zone valves/pumps and the boiler) and
the wires for power supply as shown in the gure below.

Attention! The operating voltage of the thermostats, zone
valves and pumps connected to the zone controller is 230V
AC,themaximumloadabilityofthezonesis1A(0,5Ainductive
load) per zone. This information should be considered at the
installation.
The size of the connection points of the
COMPUTHERM
Q4Z zone controller allow at most 2 or 3 devices to be
connected in parallel to any heating zone. If more than this
is needed for any of the heating zones (e.g. 4 zone valves),
then the wires of the devices should be joined before they
are connected to the zone controller.
