Here is the diagram. Power goes to the COM terminal, neutral on the right. NO goes to ZR in your aquastat.

Not working.....timer doesn't turn when thermostat is satisfied

Explain where I pull power from to power timer?.....does it come from the aquastat?

Then the wires go where?

Sorry for being a ninny...but.. it's been a long day

Should be tied into the power you have running to the aquastat. You should have power across the COM and Neutral terminals in the timer all the time.

Not really break it but add a pigtail on the aquastat feed line...

Yes. You can add the pigtail in the aquastat, or add a junction box nearby. Separate junction box would probably be cleaner/easier.

Pigtail from L1 in aquastat goes to COM in timer, pigtail from L2 in aquastat goes to Neutral in timer.
