Have you ever wondered how a unitary HVAC communicating system actually "talks"? In this conversation with Todd Kler ❄️🌡️ CMHE 🔥🛠️ from HVACRedu.net, we discuss the similarities and differences of our residential communicating protocols. We may even discuss the need for a unified communicating platform, since they are pretty much there by design already...........Let the OEM hatemail begin 😂 Watch the FULL episode on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gvHNxeQu #hvactechnician #hvacexcellence #betterhvac #climatetalkalliance

🔌 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 3! 🔌 When troubleshooting electrical issues, remember this crucial rule: 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭! Follow these steps to efficiently diagnose and resolve problems with your controller: 1️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐮𝐭: If the controller is powered on but there's no output, don't assume it's not a blown fuse. A blown fuse in the relay's power supply can still leave the controller operational. 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐬𝐞: Use your multimeter to test the voltage on both sides of the fuse. If one side shows 120 volts and the other doesn’t, that fuse is likely blown. 3️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭: Swap out the blown fuse with a new one (that’s your first fuse) and power up the controller. If it blows again, proceed to the next step. 4️⃣ 𝐈𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦: Remove all devices connected to the controller (pumps, solenoid valves, etc.). Power up the controller without any devices. If the fuse holds, you’re in the clear! 5️⃣ 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐭: If the fuse blows again, you’ve got a controller issue. If not, plug in each device one at a time until the fuse blows. The last device you connected is the likely culprit (that’s two fuses down). 6️⃣ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Unplug the faulty device and replace the fuse with your 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒅 𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒆 to continue operations while you address the issue with the defective device. By following these steps, you can efficiently troubleshoot fuse issues without unnecessary downtime. 💡⚙️ To hear all of equipment guru Tom Tinney’s Multimeter Troubleshooting Tips, tune in today to the Scaling UP!

Very inspiring conversation... is there space for creativity in a highly regulated industry? When promoting innovation, do we account for the possibility of making mistakes? I'm glad to see so many examples of creativity in the #HVAC manufacturing industry, one of them being this podcast!

Welcome to another insightful episode of our HVAC-focused podcast. In this episode, we explore the crucial concepts of dry bulb, wet bulb, and humidity—three key properties of air that every HVAC professional must understand. Join us as we unravel the mysteries behind these terms, explaining how dry bulb temperature is the reading most of us are familiar with on a thermometer and the cornerstone of HVAC system control. We delve into the concept of wet bulb temperature, measured with a wet wick thermometer, representing the temperature of the air when water evaporates, and discuss the importance of humidity or the amount of moisture in the air. Understanding the intricate relationship between these properties is not just academic; it's a practical necessity for efficient HVAC operation. We explore real-world scenarios, demonstrating how the interplay between humidity and dry and wet bulb temperatures dictates the most effective cooling strategies. Take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your understanding of HVAC systems and the properties of air that influence them. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the field, this episode is valuable for elevating your HVAC knowledge and skills. Join us as we continue to explore the science and technology that keep our environments comfortable and sustainable. Please listen here: https://lnkd.in/gN4qz7PB
