AQ255 and AQ257 Series 

Expansion Zoning Panels

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AQ255/AQ257 Series Expansion Zoning Panels provide 

additional zoning capacity for an existing hydronic installation 

controlled by an AQ2000 Series Boiler Control Panel such as 

an AQ250 Relay Boiler Control, an AQ251 Reset Boiler 

Control, or an AQ252 Universal Injection/Mixing Boiler Reset 

Control. 

FEATURES

The AQ255/AQ257 Series Expansion Zoning Panels have the 

following features:

• Availability of 4 Expansion Zoning Panels.
• Zone control of either pumps or zone valves, in 

multiples of 4 zones

• 4-zone or 8-zone models for pump zoning; 4-zone 

models for zone valves

• Ability to use both zone valve models and zone pump 

models in the same installation

• Zone valve panels contain an AQ10X38 transformer 

(power supply module), which connects to 120 Vac 

power and supplies 24 Vac power to the Zoning 

Module.

• Communications between components via the 

AQUATROL® network, using communication bus 

wiring.

• Any panel can be configured to activate a group pump 

when zones are active

• Zone valve models can be used with Normally Open or 

Normally closed valves

• Can be installed up to 500 ft. away from main AQ2000 

Control Panel, for convenient operation of remote 

zoning equipment
