I've searched the forums and I can't seem to find a clear explaination for my question. I'm considering installing 2 HAI RC-? tstats with zone control for upstairs, and downstairs on a single-stage furnace.
1. When people mention "zones" do they mean:
a. That they have 2 hvac systems (i.e. furnace and a heat pump)
b. That they have dampers installed and they want to logically separate them into floors?
2. If 1b, Do I need to get 2 RC-90's to control zones and if so, what is the function of and how do you wire the B and O wires for 2 zones? Or perhaps I just need one RC-90 and one RC-80.
Its my understanding that all I need to do to control two different tstats is to install them and then daisy chain an additional wire for the rs-232 connection to my pc. Basically, I'm confused by how zones work with these tstats. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
