Hello All,
I have read many posts here, thanks very much for all the great tips!
Before buying the last of the needed components I wanted to make sure this would function as expected.
Setup:
I am going to add a RCS TR-60 thermostat to my Elk M1, this would be placed on the main floor of the home. On the top floor of the home I am going to install an Elk remote temperature probe. In addition to this an Elk rely would be used to connect directly to the 24 volt switch block of the furnaces forced air blower (fan).
Desired function:
The top floor of my mostly open concept 2600 square ft. becomes either hotter or colder (summer/winter) then the main floor throughout the day. I would like to continue to control the house temperature on the main floor, but would like the furnace fan to run whenever the top floor temperature deviates (say 2 degrees above or below) from the main floor thermostat temperature set point.
Question:
From everything that I have read this seems very do able. Can anyone offer any tips or caution with this type of implementation?
Thanks, Mike
