Designing Pexatherm Temperature Control Systems.
How Does It Work ? Part II

The Primary Heating Circuit and MZ Wiring Centres

The Motorized valves and pumps on the primary heating circuit are controlled by thermostat via the Multizoner wiring centre. This way the circuits are operated independently while calling on the boiler at any time.

Example with two Multizoner wiring centres
The ground floor MZ I controls the ground floor underfloor pump, the motorised valve for the ground floor heating and the actuators at the manifold for each room circuit. It switches the boiler when required by any circuit. It also time controls the bronze pump on the cylinder if fitted.
The first floor MZ II controls the underfloor heating pump, the first floor heating motorised valve and the actuators for each room heating circuit on this floor. It also switches the boiler when any heating circuit requires it.

Example with one Multizoner wiring centre
MZ I controls the underfloor heating pump and the actuators at the manifold. It also operates the motorised valves for each floor and switches the boiler on when required by any heating circuit.
In both examples MZ I closes the motorised valves for the heating circuits when the cylinder thermostat is calling for hot water heating. This is known as hot water heating priority and avoids over sizing boilers in modern systems.

Please note the above schematics are for illustration only and may not contain all the elements of a heating system.
Manifolds, mixers, pumps installations and primary connections must be carried out by an experienced plumber.
