Zones are the basic element of the REG System and it can manage a maximum of 32 zones. Without Zone, Dehumidifiers, Circuits, and consequently Source cannot be activated.
...
A Circuit, when the zone is activated to heat and/or cool.
A Dehumidifier, when the zone detects that dehumidification is required.
Another Dehumidifier (which in most cases is the same as the previous point), when the zone detects that it is necessary to integrate the heating/cooling function.

Note
In a radiant system, each room of the system equipped with a sensor (temperature or temperature + humidity) is managed by a Zone.
...
In a bathroom, the same sensor can control both the radiant floor and a towel heater; in this case, we should configure TWO zones, which use the same sensor.
...
In a mixed system, the same sensor can control the radiant floor in winter and a fan coil in summer; even in this case we should configure TWO zones, which are based on the same sensor.
A zone could NOT be associated with any sensor, for example:
In a bathroom the towel heater may be switched on at certain times, regardless of the sensor reading in the room.
A zone could be used to control the change of air: even in this case the switching on could be timed and not take any sensor into account (see CMV FUNCTION WITH TIMETABLE AND/OR VOC SENSOR).
...
3 Zones must be set up, each corresponding to a circuit.
A Circuit must be associated with each zone, every circuit must have a sensor to control the Flow Temperature (see SET POINT AND SENSORS SETTINGS of the Circuits).
As regards the activation of the zones (or rather, circuits), associate each one with its own timetable to determine the operating status and do not set zone sensor, so that if the timetable is active, the corresponding zone is automatically active.
It is possible to associate an activation/enabling signal (classic room Thermostat)
Associate to the direct circuit the operation of 1 water pump.
Associate to each one of mixed circuit the control of 1 water pump and 1 mixing valve (see WATER PUMPS AND MIXING VALVES SETTINGS)

Zone Description
To each Zone is assigned a Description (see DESCRIPTIONS), that is a short text (maximum 16 characters), that easily allows to identify the function of the Zone, which can be set in the Zone Page – Configuration Zone/1.
...
Zones without description are not displayed even in remote control!
Warning
On very complex system, not assigning descriptions to Zones may lead to misunderstandings and complications during assistance. Therefore, it is always better to assign a name.
