Wiring a smart control to a taco sr504 to a honeywell L7248.

On the smart control panel attatched to a boiler mate WH-7p I wired a hot wire to the black and a neutral to the white.DID THE SAME TO THE TACO SR504.I took the two orange wires and connected them to ''TT'' on zone 4 (which is the priority zone).From ''XX'' (end switch on taco sr504) I went to ''TT'' on the honeywell L7248 control for the boiler.From the sr504 zone 4 120v hot and neutral terminals for the ciculator I wired the 120v hot to the 120v hot on circ and neutral to the neutral on circ. Then I put the priority switch on the sr504 to the on position. Everything seems to be working but customers are complaining the domestic hotwater is not as hot as it used to be.Did I wire everything okay?

    I have found my own solution. There was an option that I was not made aware of. There were 2 boiler controls to choose from.One was with an option for an indirect fired water heater and one was without.The company that sold me the boiler just assumed it was for heating(my bad).The new control comes with options zr and zc terminals.That is what you need for domestic hot water so that you can adjust the boiler not to go below 140 degrees F.This boiler was for my uncle not for profit(maybe to whomever reported abuse or not).

You did nothing that would change the temperature. earwel's answer may get you out of the situation though.

How do i connect a standard room stat to my combi boiler

Honeywell stats, esp the rounds ones, have multiple wiring diagrams that come with them including those for radiant which is a boiler hookup.
The stat has to go through the zone controller as your combi has a P1 zone priority set for the water heater and other P2-P? zones for heating loops. TACO will help you with this but it'd be really cool not to be so cheap you don't call a Tech for a Service Call to do a professional's job.

I have a hot water boiler with 3 zone valves and 2 circulation pumps. I see no relays wired to pumps. Pumps run constantly

Sounds like a lot of unknowns from your article. Here are some basic checks

- if they are the honeywell zone valves and you try to open them and get resistance than 9/10 times the t-stat is not calling for heat and the valve should be closed
-if stat is calling and wants heat zone valve lever should be free of resistance when moving it
- 15-20 psi is a little high but could be normal based on the size of your place and the temperature you are reading these pressures at
-with the pumps always running seems to me that the pumps are hard wired to a constant electrical source, if you want optimal control install a taco zone controller

Er3 flashes hot water will not reach set point

Had this happen to me before, if you have hot water from the boiler going in and out of the boiler mate and the temps are not rising within the hot water means more than likely you may need to remove exchanger and clean sediment off element, basically sediment creates a blanket over the heat source causing poor thermal conductivity. Things to check before removing heat exchanger

- outlet temp of boiler water to aquamate -inlet temp of boiler water to aqua mate= 20-30'F if low then bad thermal transfer or poor water movement
-make sure sensor is reading properly
- get boiler temp higher to speed up thermal gain in water heater

Hot water is not staying hot

Is the control that operates the pump located in the storage tank? If so the pump not be pumping. A few factors might be needed to solve the issue.

Which contacts do I connect the boiler to? I thought it was the TT, but I am not getting any voltage on them.

Here is a link, that includes the wiring diagram:
http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/related_links/water/aq2000/install/69_1974.pdf

It looks like the 'T-T' terminals match up with 'T-T' terminals on the Boiler Aquastat-- Do you see that control?-- and do you have wires between those controls.
Power to this Control Module is all the way to the left on the connector terminal board-- the ones that say:
R (1) C (2) - Power In

Also: Did you realize that this control is a modulating control-- Not just an 'On-Off' control?
This control has outdoor sensors, that modulate the temperature of the water temperature-- The warmer it is outside, the lower it sets the Hot Water Temperature-- thus saving fuel-- yet assuring that on very cold days, you still get Hot enough water to be comfortable in your occupied space.

How do I connect the two thermostat wires from a Honeywell R8184G4009 to a programable thermostat. My old thermostat is not marked.

On the Protectorelay Oil Burner Control R8184G4009, you connect the two thermostat wires @ "T" and the other "T". On the ACE Smart Temp Universal programable therostat, connect one wire to "Rh" and the other wire to " "W". Be careful if you are using this thermostat for A/C. In that case, make sure there is no jumper between "Rh" to "Rc".

Amtrol Boiler Mate WH-7P (oil). We had a power failure, and when the power came back on the water heater did not. We've checked fuses, etc., but there doesn't seem to be power to the water heater. We can't...

If you check for power at the tank, (the black and white wires) you should read voltage, either 24 vac, or 120 vac, depending on how it is wired. If there is no power there, then you will have to chase power back to where you do have it. There is no fuse or reset button on this model.

Amtrol water heater WH-7P gets barely warm water

From what you are saying it sounds like an issue with either a circulator pump or a zone valve. It depends on what type of system you have ... if you have a circulator pump that only runs the Amtrol then that is probably bad. If you have a zone valve system then it is probably the zone valve if you still have heat for the rest of the house. If you have no space heating then it is probably the circulator pump.

AMTROL Boiler Mate - No hot water

Most likely either a bad controller (which is the little display you use to reset) or the temperature probe which is accessible on the underside of your tank. Sensor is a 2 wire probe in center of underside and easily replaced.
