New Venstar Thermostat Installation

Leave a comment

By billct

I’m trying to install a Venstar wifi thermostat. I have separate heating (gas/baseboard) and cooling systems (Trane). My old thermostat had two terminals for the heat and cooling power (RH and RC). The new thermostat has only one. Does anyone know how to add a relay (and which one) so that I can use the one R connection to handle both heat and cooling? I was thinking I would use the Y (compressor) feed to the relay to trigger which red wire got the power. I know a bit about electrical and electronics but never done anything on my own with AC.

HELP with widely varying quotes for RH issue in crawlspace

Leave a comment

By darkman12

Sorry for the long post but quite troubling and potentially quite costly so bear with me!!

##Here is the issue:
New hardwoods installed in April 2013 onto subfloor that was previously rug, laminate. The wood began to cup in July with the intense rain and high RH we get in NC.

##Floor Installers Inspection:
–Floor guy came, willing to resurface but we went into crawl space to determine possible cause.

–Found that RH was 15-20% greater than in the house (all readings in the house were “superb”). We also observed the following:

–We saw several small “puddles” on the barrier, nowhere near the foundation with no signs of water/puddles on any place near the foundation or vents.

–No noticeable leaks.

–The barrier was ripped in several places, failed to meet at any point on the foundation and had no overlap greater than 2″ where sheets met.

–Vents were open and at grade level in 3/6 locations.

I had 2 guys come to give estimates on correcting the RH issue to solve the cupping.

#Est 1:
Owns a crawlspace sealing company and says the only option to get the humidity down is to install the entire “system” that runs $7-10K. It includes wrapping in 20mil, installing French drains, poly on walls, sealing vents and a sump pump.

##Est 2:
He first went into space with me and pointed out a few things:
–A/C has 2 places that act as “joiners” to the duct work with significant water droplets coming from these boxes.

–All the ducts had condensation that worsened significantly the closer they got to the units and, of course, had puddles in areas right under the ducts.

–His price was $800 that included: re-laying a new 6mil barrier to the walls with proper overlap, sealing vents, wrapping the units with insulation to reduce/eliminate source of water, and wiping down all mold on ducts with antimicrobial. He actually told me I should do it myself because it was not that bad of a job and mold was “mild” (he works for Servepro-like Mon-Fri).

I am leaning towards the second option as it seems to make more “sense” to me and, of course I want it to given how much money option 1 is.

I want to be confident that I am not missing anything here or failing to ask any major questions.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Diameter protocol performance on RH 6.4

Leave a comment

By ketanb81

Hi,

I recently upgraded from RH 6.2 to RH 6.4 on our diameter application server. After the upgrade, we saw the performance throughput of out diameter application went down about 40%. From 459K transaction per second to 234K TPS on RH 6.4. Nothing has changed in the network. I am using HP G8 with 24 cpus. Does anyone have any idea of what could cause this? and how to get around it.

Thanks,
Ketan

Help with thermostat wire mapping

Leave a comment

By Tinman_99

I’m looking to switch from what I think is a Peco T158, to something better/newer. However, this doesn’t have any wires mapped to what I see in other thermo installs, it’s simply 1 through 17, with 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 12 connected and 114 connected together. I have found some T158 manuals online, but they still don’t reference the terms I see in other thermostats, like RH, RC, G, Y/Y1/C, W/H, O/B/R, etc.

Peco install guide:

RH Announces the Opening of The Gallery at the Historic Museum of Natural History

RH Restores and Reimagines 40,000-square-foot Landmark Building in Boston’s Back Bay

CORTE MADERA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– RH (Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc.) (NYS: RH)  announced today that it will open TheGallery at the Historic Museum of Natural History at 234 Berkeley Street in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday, April 13, 2013. The 40,000-square-foot landmark, designed in 1862 by distinguished architect William G. Preston, was only the second building to be erected in Boston’s famous Back Bay. Honoring its cultural significance and singular place in Boston’s urban landscape, the building’s exterior and interior have been completely restored by stripping back decades of structural modifications, auxiliary mezzanine levels, and pedestrian elevators added during its history. The space has been reimagined consistent with its original vision as a museum, unveiling artistic installations unseen before in the retail industry.

The landmark and park-like setting is framed by Berkeley, Boylston and Newbury Streets. Guests and residents will admire the building’s exterior luminescent glow created by internationally award-winning lighting designer Ross De Alessi, who is widely acclaimed for illuminating historical monuments across the country including The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. The Gallery’s interior is a study in light by famed lighting designer and artist, Bentley Meeker, who has designed events for MoMA, The Guggenheim, New York’s Natural History Museum and exhibited at The Whitney. A pavilion of glass and steel designed by architect James Gillam, in respectful contrast to the building’s neoclassical facade, creates a dramatic new entrance on Newbury Street. The landscape has been restored and preserves the original flowering magnolia trees, including new brick paths and a soon-to-be outdoor sculpture garden.

Entering the Gallery at 234 Berkeley Street, your eye is drawn up through the re-opened central atrium by a reinterpretation of an 1892 traction and counterweight elevator inspired by the iconic model in downtown Los Angeles’ Bradbury Building. Soaring three floors, a ride in the steel-caged glass cab highlights the interior’s now unobstructed vertical openness and dramatic architecture. From the grand central atrium with its fresh floral boutique, up through the 18-foot antiqued mirrored archways reflecting 12 sparkling crystal chandeliers reminiscent of the Palace of Versailles on level two, the artistic interior installations inspire new and evolving ideas to design a home. Stepping out of the elevator on level three to the sound of trickling

Wiring AC to Furnace Terminals

Leave a comment

By aharmona

Hello folks,

I have an American Standard Silver Series furnace installed and I’m trying to figure out which terminals the red and white wires from the air conditioner should connect to. I’ve tried Red with R and White with W obviously but nothing happens. My father-in-law installed the furnace and didn’t bother with the AC saying he’d get to it later but he doesn’t know anything about the wiring anyway.

The Silver Series terminals are as follows C, G, R, W,Y, TWIN. with Green, Red, Yellow and White wires connected according to their first letters.
The Hunter thermostat (model 44110) terminals are G, RC (with a jumper to) RH, Y, W with Green, Red, Yellow and White wires connected according to the letters with the Red wire connected to the RH terminal.
There is a blue wire which isn’t connected to any terminal in the thermostat or the furnace.

I had written down where the wires for the AC were connected prior but the previous furnace had a T terminal. Also I believe the Red wire was connected to the Y terminal and the White wire to the T Terminal.

If anyone can makes heads or tails of this and can tell me where the AC Red and White wires should go to, I’d be most grateful.

Thank you!

Cobbler – what is the advantage?

Leave a comment

Hi guys, new user here, so please be gentle.

I need to build a lot of servers at work on a weekly basis with various versions of RH and additional applications.

We use PXE/Kickstart to do this with selections made from a simple menu structure.

However, I keep hearing about Cobbler and although I have some documentation on it, I still cannot figure out any advantage it has over the pxe/kickstart method.

What am I not ‘getting’?
