Thermostat setup with 2x AC/HP units

Okay, there is a little explanation needed here:

I had a small building built for my company about 4 years ago. The AC installer told me about there great new thermostats that do this and that. Sure put in the good ones I said. He ended up installing two TH8320U1008. Recently I noticed that my employees are adjusting one of the units but not the other. So I began looking for a thermostat unit that could control 2AC/2HP/2EH so that my employees would only need to make adjustments to one unit. My research lead me back to the same unit I have, the TH8320U1008. Honeywells web site make it appear the it can control 2AC unit and 3 heat sources (I assume that typically translates into two heat pump with the EM heat from the two units being tied together.

I can find the instruction manuel but no luck on an installation guide.

Thank you in advance.

Ok, You can't wire both unit into one stat, unless a relay is added to break the power between the two units.

The 3 heat, 2 cool you are seeing means how many stages the stat can handle.

So, 3 stages for HP, 2 stage for fuel heat, and 2 stages of cooling.

(again sorry for the last post)

Are there any good systems that can multiple AC units?

In the case at my office, the AC/Heater systems are redundant units and cool/heat the same areas. I would like to look at a system that can control 3 units in my house from a central location. Thanks for your help.

I am sure there is something out there, but I am not aware of what is out there.. IF they are out there, it won't be cheap!

Carrier 3V VVT (Variable, Volume and temperature) can control multiple units from a central control. It is not cheap.
