Any idea volt/amp rating of W2?

[danf58]

I'd like to hook up a buzzer or bell as a temporary notice to me when my T-stat calls for W2.

I've got the leads on the controller board, but don't know how much load it can take. probably next to nothing, but who knows...

It's a carrier Comfort Zone II.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

dan

let t-stat trigger a relay which triggers the door bell --
I think you would fry a t-stat otherwise --
I have replaced door bell switches about ea 10y -- & they have heavier contacts, I believe --

just power the coil on an R8222 1014 HWL relay, with a separate xformer there to bring the noise.

I can see an indicator light on the stat, but do you really want a buzzer/bell to go off whenever w2 is called for? Are you going to run over and shut the unit off?Are you trying to annoy someone or have a conversation piece? :confused:

?Are you trying to annoy someone

I'm sure he's not trying to do that... but I'll admit, my evil mind will remember that trick for future use someday! lol

[mayguy]

Why you want a buzzer!? LOL

What do you have for a t-stat? on the TH8320, could make the red LED come on.

my wife would beat me senseless if I tried that.:D

:D :D

Does seem kinda nutty, don't it?

But I don't wanta know what a data logger for these things costs, or even if one exists...

There are a few things I might do w/W2, but most likely cooler heads will prevail and I'll leave it at trying to determine the balance point of my system. Since that tends to happen when I'm sleeping a simple buzzer, as temporary install, struck my mind. Yes, turning it off would be a must have. I just sorta skipped over the other side of the relay. I was mainly worried about drawing more current then the controller could provide.

Since Doc suggested the HP relay, I suppose I can assume it's a 24v. Which was pretty likely anyway. But my dealer is closer then grainger so I think I'll just ask my dealer (If I can ever get hold of them, day #3) for the relay of their choice.

Of course by then I may no longer care. I'm gathering data bit by bit already..

Thanks guys..
