Staging is controlled by the number of zones calling for heating or
cooling and by a timer that monitors the amount of time a call has
been active. Each stage can be set to activate based on the total
of the weighted zones calling or set to only be activated by the
timer.
Title24 now requires delaying auxiliary electric strip heating in a
heat pump so it does not activate on a recovery from a setback
temperature. The stage used for auxiliary heat can be set to
activate only by the timer.
The non-calling zone dampers can be opened just enough to
keep the airflow in the calling zones from being too high or noisy.
The PDMi3 can be used set the bypass position for each zone in
heating and cooling during installation.
When non-calling zone dampers are used for bypass, the amount
of bypass can be set for each zone being used in heating and
cooling.
Although both the calling and non-calling zones are receiving
conditioned airflow, the calling zone is being conditioned typically
3-4 times faster than the non-calling zones.
Increase the bypass positions.
Decrease the bypass positions.
Staging is controlled by the number of zones calling for

Stage2 call. Press NEXT to continue.
Press Up or Down to set the
weighted zones required to activate a
Stage3 call. Holding Up, the limit will
increase to the maximum value (3.0
for a 3-zone panel) and then display

controlled by the staging timer and
not the weighted zones calling.
