I am an HVAC technician. I was thinking about using the ETC-111000 temperature control to control a TACO 006 circulator pump inside my Carrier geothermal heat pump (The circulator pump is used to transfer heat to a hot water tank for storage). It would...

I don't think this is really built to handle 240V AC in any meaningful way. The control unit (I believe) is fed directly off of the inbound voltage, so I'd imagine the voltage in would fry the thing. However, as David said, that's probably best to check with the manufacturer (or at least someone who's taken more than 1/2 a Coursera course in basic electronic engineering). They might even make a 240V version.

It has only one single terminal for both aux & emerg. A thermostat for 2 stage heat pumps should have separate connections for each. Moreover, there is no good control over swing temp (Emerg to heat pump) and in-house variance. I got one and didn't like it at all. I don't believe it is a good design for 2 stage heat pumps and emailed honeywell and told them. It does keep your house temp very consistent at the expense of using the emg resistant strips when not really needed and over cycling the system.I removed it and installed a Braeburn 2220. I like the Braeburn because it is easy to have control on swing temps and in house variance. Also very easy to change settings. It has only one single terminal for both aux & emerg.

It is hard to say without knowing all the variables. Check your other working valves and make sure all connections are the same. Make sure the valve is seated properly... it can be easily misaligned when twisted on. Make sure your thermostat is set to operate that zone. Make sure that the manual valve controlling the flow from furnace in that zone is in the open position. And make sure your valve is set to automatic for thermostat control. I had work done in the hose, and for a year the heat in one of my 3 zones was funky. The valve in question was hard to see. When I finally checked it carefully, one wire was loose and the valve itself was not flush with the base. The zone was on all the time. I assume the other zones work, therefore the circulating pump is working. I am an amateur tinkerer. Most household things aren't rocket science, but if I can't figure it out, I call an expert.

Yes it does. I've had mine installed for about 9 months now and it has worked flawlessly. Installation and setting up the wifi was a snap. As for another answer saying the temp sensor is erratic....I've not had that experience with mine at all. You can program the temp differential (how far the actual temp can vary from the set temp before the stat responds) so maybe that user has it set to too broad a range, I don't know or maybe just a faulty stat. Mine is set at a 2 degree range and works great. I use it on a Geothermal Heat/AC/DHW System and it actually handles the heat pump better than the stat that came with the unit.

RS 6110 Thermostat can control a heat pump, a natural gas furnace, or an A/C & furnace. Its default is natural gas & A/C. A small switch inside adjusts timing for running a heat pump for heating instead

Hi, I ordered a taco 007-ZF5-9 priority zoning circulator pump, got that installed and ordered a spare cartridge just in case the cartridge burns out again, I can just replace the cartridge. Hope this info helps.

This would not be a problem for the pump, but you would need a controller panel for it where you could schedule any change in speed and simultaneously control any valves that might need to be opened or closed. I would call their technical customer service. My phone call to them after a long wait was more helpful than I anticipated.

If you're asking if it can be operated using a remote control, it comes with one and as long as the two are in the line of sight the answer is YES. The Lasco remote works great by the way. If you're asking if it can be controlled from a remote location, the answer is NO. Although it has a programmable thermostat, a 8 hour shut down timer, and the tip over safety switch, it cannot be controlled using a computer/wireless based home automation system, or even something as simple as a timer. This is why it won't work from a remote location. After the heater is turned off it enters a standby mode by default and DOES NOT/WILL NOT retain your previous temp and timer settings. To restart the heater you have to do it manually using either the buttons on the front panel or the heaters remote control. You also have to reset your desired temp/timer settings. That's every time you use it and the only way it can be fired back up. This is an excellent piece of equipment and I wouldn't trade mine for two of any other brand. The only fault is that in the event of a power outage it reverts to the default standby mode instead of picking up where it left off and continuing to put out heat. Only happened once, but the chill made a lasting impression.

You didn't mention what type of heating device you have. I'll assume that it's a Air Conditioner/Heat Pump. Heat Pumps do not perform very well when temperatures outside fall below 40F unless it's outfitted with a 10KW resistance type of heater. Heat Pumps can heat a home to a comfortable level (70F +) if you live in Arizona like I do but not if you live in the North where temperatures outside can be below freezing. The LUX thermostat can control a fossil fueled heater along with an air conditioner with separate connections to both but it may be wise to talk to LUX about it (856-234-8803) tech assist, 8AM to 4:30pm EST You didn't mention what type of heating device you have.

Absolutely. In fact, that's exactly why I purchased this STC-1000 unit and it has been working like a charm ever since I installed it a couple months ago. Highly recommended for your application. Bear in mind, it only displays temperature in Celcius (not a problem for most of the world) but, even so, it's a cinch to get this working. You'll also need a normal wall outlet and some type of project box but again, it's really pretty easy.

Unfortunately... no. Because the unit is a HEAT PUMP unit (rather than a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC unit), it can only be used when temperatures are above 45 Degrees Fahrenheit. I learned that the hard way (the manufacturer fails to explain that fact in the instruction manual). You would have to purchase a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC unit in order for the unit to be capable of heating in those types of temperatures. It is best to purchase a 230 volt unit if you need to use it it those types of temperatures. Usually the straight electric 230 volt units provide 7,000 to 12,000 btus of heat per hour.

smallappliance.com I ordered a new digital control unit last spring. Great service!!! Use the small reference number on the very bottom of the silver tag located on the rear of heating unit. I was trying for over a year using the series number F-36C, and getting nowhere. The folks at smallappliance straightened me out on the phone. It cost about $70.00, but got a 1st time customer discount & free shipping. I think I wound up spending about $60.00. Hope this helps.

Taco has a good explanation of how their valves work on their web site. See http://www.taco-hvac.com/uploads/FileLibrary/100-3.pdf. According to their diagram, there should be 24 volts between terminals 1 and 2 only when the thermostat is calling for heat. If there is a constant 24 volts between these terminals, the thermostat may be defective, or there may be a short somewhere in the wiring.

The pump has a thermostat in it and when it senses a 6 to 10 degree rise in water temp it shuts itself off, so it never runs continuously. Now I am referring to use with an on demand water heater. It should work the same pulling warmer water from a tank type water heater, senses warmer water in the line and shuts itself off. Hope this helps. Bill

Yes. I have a hydronic heating system which is exactly as you described it: a gas-fired boiler with a water pump that delivers 180-degree hot water to various baseboard "radiator" to heat the house. I am happy with the performance of this thermostat.

Yes, it has settings for heat pumps or natural gas. I use it on my natural gas furnace.

Sandra,I used this transformer for my HVAC system, specifically zone and damper controllers. I did not use it for irrigation, so I cannot help you here.
