How to fix Chore-Time Home Automation display that is difficult to read?
If the display is difficult to read, it might be because the back light on the display board is unplugged or defective. Check the two-wire plug on the display board and replace it if defective.
What to do if Chore-Time Chore-Tronics 3 Control Home Automation tunnel curtain opens in Power Mode?
If the tunnel curtain opens in Power Mode, it could be due to: * Normal operation during a Power-Tunnel Mode Transition. * The high static pressure alarm safety feature has taken over. Static pressure had quickly built to above 0.20” and stayed there for over the wind delay setting. The tunnel curtain will open to maintain a static pressure of between 0.18 and 0.20”. This is usually accompanied by a high static pressure alarm. Find the cause of high static pressure and correct it. * Normal operation of the additional inlet area through the Tunnel Curtain feature. Whenever the air inlets do not provide enough air, the tunnel curtain will also open enough to maintain static pressure within the Power Mode limits.
Why Chore-Time Chore-Tronics 3 Control Home Automation fan assigned to Power Mode is running in Natural Mode?
If a fan assigned to operate in Power Mode only is running in Natural Mode, it could be due to: * A “Pot Not Responding” or a “Pot Outside Limits” alarm has occurred. Find out the cause of the alarm and correct it. Please see Potentiometer troubleshooting section for suggestions. * The fan switch is in the "Manual ON" position. Move the switch to automatic.
What to do if Chore-Time Chore-Tronics 3 Control Home Automation temperature readings are not steady?
Unsteady temperature readings in your Chore-Time Home Automation system, where the temperature changes by half a degree or more every five seconds, can cause tunnel fans and heaters to run simultaneously. This issue is often due to excessive noise on the temperature sensors. To resolve this: * Use non-shielded Twisted Pair Wire (part no. 42208) for the temperature sensor. * Run the wire separately from high voltage wires. * Ensure the wire enters the control in a separate place from the high voltage wire, if possible. * Avoid using Romex, SJO cord, or shielded wire as temperature sensor wire.
