d. 

To  ensure  proper  airflow,  and  to  prevent  “short-cycling”, 
back-draft dampers MUST be installed both on the outlet of 
the Well-Connect, and on the outlet of the fossil fuel furnace, 
upstream  of  where  the  Well-Connect  supply  duct  connects 
to  the  main  duct.  Terra  Caloric  will  provide  a  twelve  inch 
(12”)  round damper for the outlet of the Well-Connect. The 
other  damper  will  need  to  be  custom-sized  to  the  existing 
ductwork  at  each  particular  site.  These  can  usually  be 
sourced locally, but if not, call Terra Caloric for assistance. 

Controls: 

For optimum comfort and efficiency, operate both the Well-
Connect  and fossil fuel furnace as one complete multi-stage 
system.  The  wireless  thermostat  supplied  with  the  Well-
Connect is capable of controlling up to two stages of heating 
and  two  stages  of  cooling,  and  can  therefore  be  used  to 
control  both  the  Well-Connect  and  one  other  stage  of 
heating and/or cooling. Controlling more than two stages of 
heat or cooling will require more advanced controls, or use 
of  the  existing  thermostat  in  conjunction  with  the  wireless 
Well-Connect  thermostat.  Detailed  instructions  for  multi-
stage applications are found in Section 6.
