13 Unsupported Configurations
The following configurations are not supported by Pioneer and Foundation thermostats.
13.1.1 Heat Pump with Two or More Additional (Auxiliary) Stages
Energate thermostats support only one additional stage of heating in addition to two heat pump stages. If there are
two or more additional stages of heating in addition to the heat pump stages, it is recommended that you wire-in the
most desirable auxiliary stage. The other auxiliary stages are not used.
13.1.2 Multi-Zone Thermostats
Individual Energate thermostats do not support multiple zones. Multi-zone functionality must be implemented using a
zone controller, such as a zoning panel, or you can use a separate thermostat for each zone. See 8.3 Zone Control
Systems.
13.1.3 Proprietary Communication Protocols between HVAC Equipment and Thermostats
Several manufacturers use proprietary communication protocols to allow the thermostat and HVAC equipment to
communicate (for example, Carrier Infinity, Bryant Evolution, and the fully modulating Ruud/Rheem systems). Unless
otherwise noted, those communication protocols are not supported by Energate.
13.1.4 Line Voltage Systems
Energate does not support electric baseboards and other systems that use 120-volt or 240-volt power. Only 24-volt
HVAC systems are supported.
