Thanks for the contest, Daox. I wasn't expecting to win, but I'll have to somehow rearrange my life within the new circumstances
My congrats to Xringer and Wonderboy!! You guys will have to fight each other over the thermostat and power strip. And welcome to all new EcoModder-to-EcoRenovator converts |

Yeepee!!
Well thank you sir!! I've been admiring that cool thermostat!
My old one doesn't have a touch screen, just plain old chicklet buttons! I wonder what the exact number model is? Like does it have the outdoor temp feature etc? I love new gadgets! Cheers, Rich |

I'll check to see what model number it is. It at least has a outdoor temperature sensor hookup. However, I'm unsure if it has the advanced heat pump feature.

Install manual?
Is this the install guide that came with your unit?
http://www.airconditioner-parts.com/...stallation.pdf My single transformer oil burner only uses 2 wires to the thermostat (T T in fig 6 ?) and I'm wondering if a jumper between RC & R provides power to the thermostat? Right now, my old Honeywell MagicStat runs off two AA cells. But it doesn't have to power a back-light or a touch screen. I think the Honeywell just puts a short across the T T lines when calling for heat. That seems like it would short out any power being provided to the fancy new thermostat.?. I don't know much about thermostats.. ~~~ I see where the out-door sensor (S1 & S2) hooks up, and I'm wondering if that's just a simple thermistor? Thanks, Rich |

I'd have to check when I get home (via opening your package).
The unit does run off two AA or AAAs. The backlighting turns off after a few seconds of not pushing on the screen, so it doesn't suck down the battery much. In the house I did the install on, their boiler only had two wires too. I forget which ones I hooked it up to but I can check and get back to you on that. I'm really not sure on the outdoor sensor.

The manual I'm looking at shows 3 AAA cells. So, they should last a while..
But, maybe the 24VAC line provides power when the stat isn't calling for heat.?. No need to open up the bubble-pack, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.. Hey, I guess that means it's impolite to inspect the teeth of a horse you just got as a gift.. |
