Wiring 2nd Stage Heat
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
The 529 thermostat can operate 2nd stage heat in two ways:
Method 1. Two-Stage Heating Using Wiring Center or Zone Manager
A two-stage thermostat is automatically detected when connected to Zone 1 or Zone
3 on a Wiring Center or Zone Manager. If there is no tN2 thermostat connected to
Zone 2 or Zone 4, these outputs will automatically operate the heating equipment
for 2nd stage heat.
Note: This 2nd stage wiring method is not compatible with the tN2 House Control
400, 401, 402, 403 and 406. Method 2 below must be used instead.
Method 2. Two-Stage Heating Using The Thermostat’s 2nd Stage Relay
If both Zone 2 or Zone 4 are in use, the 529 thermostat’s second stage relay must
be used. This relay will close when the thermostat calls for 2nd stage heat (Rh-W2),
and can be used to bring on the heating equipment.
Note: This 2nd stage wiring method must be used when a 529 thermostat is
connected to a House Control 400, 401, 402, 403, or 406.
