Where is the Outdoor Air Sensor typically located?
Inside the condensor unit?
On the Outside of the unit?
On a nearby wall (presuming no direct sun)?

Pllease let me know.

My installer did not wire the outdoor sensor for my HP correctly, so XL950 cannot locate it.
It is a standard trane sensor--nothing special to Comfortlink II.

Is the BAYSEN01ATEMPA unique to...

No offence to the professionals on this board, I prefer to have the correct answer before I ask the question.
I think I figured out that the outdoor sensor is not "communicating" and it needs to be...

I have Trane XL950 using a communicating VS 2-stage furnace and XR-17 Heat Pump (non-communicating.
So I have the relay board.
A Non-communicating Outdoor Sensor was installed directly to the relay...

Thanks...it is only the compressor noise that is at issue.

I don't want to install it. I just wanted the number so that I could enccourage my installer to get the right one.
They came out with a flimsy generic wrap-around.

Could someone please provide me with the model number of the Trane compressor sound blacket that can be fit on a 3 ton XR-17 compressor?
I know that the XR-17 doesn't come with a blanket, but trane...

Hi,
I need some advice so I am informed when the pro comes out for a Man D and J calculation tomorrow.
I have about 1230 cfm of supply capacity (from capacity of ducts, without reduction for...

Thanks, BL. Your point about the liner for the water heater was important to know. The installer has now agreed to do what it takes to get the water heater connection inspected.
I have e-mails...

Hi,
My city of Dunwoody, GA uses the 2012 International Fuel Gas Code, without changes.
My Chimney has a separate flue, clay lined, for the furnace and HWH. I am NOT replacing the HWH right now.

I have a proposal for
1. Lennox SL280vUH070V36A

Lennox seems to show iHarmony as...

Okay, Carrier can handle this. Mr. Ridley, I have been impressed with your responses over a couple of years. However, I only "friended" you as I could not find an e-mail.

Since CArrier can do...

Hi, I need some help evaluating which manufacturer's product can handle this scenario.

QUESTION: which zoning system will be able to manage fully modulating dampers as the load shifts e.g.,...

First, thank you all for your responses.

A. Seems there are good benefits of a communicating system, especially where the installers (as opposed to system designers) may be less than perfect. ...

Second Opinion,
I will check with contractor to confirm whether his SP of .6" was to be used for the tables. We are not in A/C season, so that is not a major issue.

Hi,
Return Plenum SP was not taken. Best I can say is that it is negligible. Was not aware that it made a difference (except to determine whether system is restricting flow.

Hi,

I have a Trane TAM7, and am trying to read the MFR's Performance Tables in the Air Handler Service Facts. I am now told that I have 0.6" Static Pressure in supply plenum. I consider that...

In advance, thanks for your responses during what is likely your busiest time in years...

1. Is there any Dip Switch(s) on the Trane TAM7 or XR-16 that needs to be switched in order for the...

That is a little up in the air. Installer coming back Friday to look at that.
Since the Stage 3/4 Speed is Too High, and the A/C stages are just right, I am thinking about 425/ton in a/c. Just a...

So it is 19.4 here (at only 6 pm in HOTlanta), the temp from the condenser 17.9 (1.5 degree drop). the XR16 is running first stage.
The INCREASE from return to first supply is 15 degrees. Aux does...

Thanks. We do not go below zero, but for the first time in over 10 years, may go to single digits this week.

This is a question based on a combination of two recent responses from BeenThere.

Okay. Thanks for your help. Now I have to get the fan speeds correct (the other post)

Also, the thermostat (but not IAQ EIM) has already been replaced, to no avail. All wiring colors on the EIM are correct, though I have not crawled up, pulled out the blower board, and actually...

Uh, it is 28 degrees outside. Switched to Emer Ht, raised set to 4 degrees higher than room. Strips turned on. "Aux" showed on the thermostat, but no red light (which I have seen in upper rt...

I have a Trane TAM7 with 30k coils, and an XR-16 2 ton HP. Installed with 2C/4H, 10k strips split in 2 stages.
Installer only installed HP and TAM7 last spring to existing returns and vent system. ...

I have worked with third-party warranties before--some major flops, but now they are more regulated. If indeed AIG is behind it as insurance, the it could be worth considering. Yes, there are...

Hi,
I am looking to add a Trane 10 yr Parts & Labor Extended Warranty to my trane system installed in February 2013 (it is now December 2013). The system was registered with Trane, so I have the...

Great. Thanks!
There had been a huge air leak, though that was from not having replaced a gasket around the vertical-installation drain holes. Seems to be fitting right.
John

Hi,

Is there typically air leakage around the TAM7 coils access panel? There is no leakage around the electric heat strips door, which is also pressurized being downwind of the blower.

Please...

Hi,
This has to do with the ISU Parameter No. 220 through 270.

Hi,

Well, on the Trane system installed in February, and given new Trane Epoxy Coils in October due to Dirty Socks Syndrome, seems that when the new coil was installed, some parts got lost and...

I figured it might not. Hoped otherwise.
I will take the Gardenweb approach of turning off Comfort R Completely, and using the Dehumidistat and the BK terminal to reduce top fan speed by 10%....

Beenthere,
Perhaps the IAQ could control whether Dehumidification is called for. However, the DeHumidistat was located at the source--outside the kids' bathroom.
Further, with a relatively cool...

Hi Joe,
The BK jumper is removed so that the hardwired humidistat can control a 10% reduction in full fan speed when the system is in cool and humidity is still too high.

I guess the question is...

Hi Second Opinion,
Is the re-wiring as straight-forward as what Mark Beiser posted in 2005?
In other words, is it something that a typical tech familiar with the TAM7 could do on a one-hour service...

Inside: TAM7 with 30,000 btu coil, at about 450 /ton because of existing ductwork. Load is fine. 2 stages of coils.
Outside: XR 16 (non-communicating. 2 Stage.

Sounds great. TRane handled it well, and quickly, once they heard that I had a reaction. I will post the Mold lab results if they show anything. Supposed to receive them on the 8th.

I have the COL 18632 epoxy coated coil from TRane. It is being installed.
Would like to know if the drain pan with the replacement coil has Microban, or can installers use old drain pan.

Thanks. Exactly what I hoped for.

I have a real Trane coil identified as COL18632 RPS that is supposed to be epoxy coated and not be subject to DSS. Does this code indicate any special coating? How else can I tell if Trane has sent...

Thanks. I think I have considered the entire picture, ,and know where the tradeoffs will occur.

Yes. I have heard that it is the best available right now, and iHarmony, then Trane (with some workarounds). I have also been told that it is the only system that can truly make use of MARDs,...
