I just got my firs Job with a commercial HVAC company. I have about 3 years doing residential service but don't have much experience with rooftops. My company is a Trane Dealer and I keep seeing a Vari-Track system and don't know that much about it. I was looking on-line and found some basic info on what it dose but nothing that really tells me how it works. Can anyone give me a little information on how it works.
Probably the first big thing that I would like to know is how do I send a basic call for heat. In residential on a no heat call the first thing I would do is make sure I had a call for heat and then walk down to the furnace to see what I had. But I am not sure with this that If I just turn one of the thermostats up will that be a definite call for heat and can count on the Furnace being in the heat mode when I get up there or do I have to send a call on more than one VAV. And I know that the Vari-Track system has gone through some changes over the years but on the older model's that just have a little circuit board inside what kind of information can I get from those DI codes.
Can anyone help. I think I got in with a really great company that knows I have a lot to learn but can anyone give me some help so I am not a total Idiot with this stuff and can at least sound a little intelligent when asking a Journeyman Questions.
