xl19I & Tstat help
I have a trane XL19i HP with a VSAH behind a Robertshaw 9870i T stat 2H/2C. In Cool mode the stages work good 1st stage until tstat calls for 2nd stage. Now I put it in heat mode and the second stage will not come on. Do I need a 3H/2C tstat? I can make the strips come on by running the balance temp up, but can not get the second comp to come on.
Thanks,

I never used these t-stat.

What is it all set up to in the installer menu?

Look at page 23 to 25?

I am leaning towards the 3h/2c t-stat like Honeywell VisionPro or IAQ.

Thanks,
I've about talked myself into the 3h/2c myself. Which of the two stats is the best for dehumidification? The setup menu will control the hp + the strips, YLo and Y energize in cool mode but not in heat. Can I move the X1 to Y to trigger stage 2 to get me thru the winter? I have gas wall heaters to supplement the HP and try not to use the strips anyway.
Thanks,

What model # do you have on the air handler?

The best T-stat for dehumid is the Honeywell IAQ t-stat.

I am trying to figure out how your t-stat is suppose to be set up.... I'll wait till you get your air handler model back to me.

Low Voltage terminal Board in the air handler. I think I just need a 3H-2C stat. I have no voltage to my other Y terminal. Where is the best place to find the IAQ with sensors?

YOu can find them pretty much anywhere on line. Only draw back, is you may not get warranty on it. Where if you get it from a dealer, you can get 5 years warranty on it.

G on the outdoor unit??? (Not the air handler) I need to know what's all being used outside, to get all rewired right. and if any outdoor sensor is on the unit outside?

Also, you got an outdoor sensor ordered with the t-stat?

Heat pump----EIM-----Air Handler

O ----- O-----O/OB

R------R-----R

Y ------Y1---YLo

Y2-----Y2-----Y

B-----C------B or C (Not sure what's on your air handler)

X----Aux2-----W3/W2

Aux1------W1

G--------G

Do you see BK on the board in the air handler?

That will get us started.. I'll post tmrw for rest of the info.

Thanks,
That is how is currently is today. The R-BK jumper is removed and a wire from the t'stat to BK. And I think W3 is not hooked up. The other W's are jumped in the stat. Can I use the outdoor and indoor Robertshaw sensors with the IAQ or is the resistance different?

220- 2 (should give you longer run)
230- 2
240- 3

350 (You can set to say 10˚ if you find that the compressor is no longer able to keep up, and run the eletric only)

360- 45 (You really don't want the Aux to turn on when it's warmer than 45˚)

372- Do you have a humidifier?

379-1 (Do you have DHM booked up to the BK on blower)
400-1 (YOu have vent system or air exchanger on this?)

660-30 (Not needed if you have Comfort-R turned on.

FYI, this t-stat is a learning t-stat give it a few days or so to get to know your home, and run time will change.

GOod, and did you cut the jumper wire on the board?

It won't show on screen at all times, just have to press more to view it, and then it switch back to the outdoor temp... However, if you really want to see the humidity all times, then you need to turn off the outdoor temp sensor.

No vent system
Then turn setting.400 to 0.

Turn off 660 since you have Comfort-R turned on.

Yes the jumper is removed, I finally read where the humidity will not show with an outdoor sensor hooked up.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I read somewhere to hook the y to the BK terminal what is that for?

That is for the Comfort-R set up if you didn't have the IAQ tied to the BK. So you don't need it.

220-2 This is your first stage compressor, means it going to run at an avg of 2 times an hour.

230-2 2nd stage compressor.

240-3 1st stage of heat. (electric)

250-9 2nd stage of heat (electric)

I want 1st stage to run a little longer to help remove humidity..It's in the mid 70's with 80% Humidity outside. The 1st stage runs 3-6 mins then 2nd comes in. It's been so warn I have not used heat yet.
Thanks,
Mid 70's is warm?? wow.. I think that is perfect temp for open windows... It's 10˚ here! :-)

Your 2nd stage shouldn't be kicking in that quick... What is your set point and room temp? When it goes into 2nd stage, is it going back to first or shutting off?

It is warm, + the humidity is bad high, that's why we have the AC on. Stat set on 72 with 383 set to 3. Once I did not see or hear the unit kick back to 1st stage, it just shut off. I hooked up a light between Y2 and comm. to let me know when the second stage is active. I have to leave out again tomorrow so I will set it and show the wife how to change to heat if needed. Does second stage work off of time, temp drop(rise) or combo. I know it is a learning stat, I just like knowing what is capable of.

2nd stage based off of temp.. The t-stat will turn it on once it sees that 1st stage has reach 100% of running duty, 2nd stage should cycle on and off.. (go back to 1st stage)

Thanks,
That's what it did with the old Robertshaw, I could adjust time and temp on it for AC but did not work 2nd stage comp in heat.
Thank you again.

Let's your A/C is 24,000 BTU.. 1st stage is 12,000 BTU. The t-stat learns that your home heat gain as reach it's 12,000 BTU, it will then go into 2nd stage to help keep up. That is the best way I can explain it.

Thanks,
I installed a telltale light on the y line to tell me when the unit is in high or 2nd stage (2 comp. system) when in heat mode and 2nd stage comes in it does not shift back to 1st stage before cutting off, is this in the t'stat settings?

I found a 20 ish V AC light at work and put it between Y and Common, I may need to put a real small fuse in the line also...
And it seems to be ramping in heat, can I delimit it to something less than 100%, it soulds like a train moving thru @ 100%
Thanks,

Odd that it would run 2nd stage, and then shut down..

Should cycle back to 1st stage then shut down if has to, but not right a way.

Y is first. (will stayed powered if 2nd stage is called for)
Y2 is Second.

I mis stated the light is on Y2 on the IAQ, I was thinking of the AH it has Y and Ylo. Cool mode seems to work correctly. I'm keeping an eye on it to see if it changes
