You have solved the issue for me, as my new S9V2 (February) was giving me this same problem when I turned on Cooling for the season, and the installer did not believe me that there was an issue. I had to set the Menu to 3 tons for my 1.5 ton unit to get the proper CFMs, as indeed it was running on low speed. This meant no lower speed for the fan at 50% setting. After 3 weeks of waiting and having been told that nothing was wrong, and that I should contact Trane directly, I searched for info and found your video. The installer had indeed forgotten the jumper. He did not and would not come to my home to see what might be wrong. Thanks so much.

I like two stage more as a reserved cooling capacity on hot days than for dehumidification. In other words size it right in first stage and have the second stage be oversized for the space to maintain the setpoint even on the hottest days. Also use the Y Low terminal and set the CFM to 450. Using the BK as Trane states causes too much air flow in first stage keeping the humidity around 50% VS 45 which is more comfortable.
@shawnd5675 жыл бұрын
That's the exact opposite of what you want. You want the first stage for mild 80-85° weather and the 2nd stage for 85-95°. It'll help bring down indoor humidity and maximize comfort.

Completely agree on two stage cooling for low seer resi equipment. Only really useful running two equal zones. Dehu is best done with dedicated equipment or solving other problems.
@zhinonghuang66794 жыл бұрын
Not sure you are right. It should connect to Y2 in furnace, otherwise the blower always run at slow speed (y1). Maybe different machines have different setting?

Love the channel. It is my go to before I call and bug you in person. Here trying to figure out how to increase fan speed on a Trane 80% , in fan only it is running on very low. Works fine in heat and cool. It is Pepe's house. In your old neighborhood. May be calling you..
@TedCookHVAC5 ай бұрын
The only way to speed the fan up is to add compressor. Meaning when the green only is energized, it runs at a very low speed usually 35 to 50%.

Yeah my Goodman has little dip switches to alter the fan speed, I'm guessing you do that via those menu buttons in the center. So now the computer thinks y1 and y2 are being energized!? Probably fry the board.

Y1 or Y2 In my experience there is a limit for cfm/fan speed on each of these, but not sure how this particular unit works. Depending on max from each and size of outdoor unit, or dual stage, you connect to the appropriate terminal(s).

What could be causing my blower speed to fluctuate a lot but mostly run at very low speed during cooling season? This is a problem I’ve been having during a recent spell of hot weather, no issues otherwise since install 7 years ago. Usually turning the system from cool to off for several hours fixes the problem and then it’ll work fine again for a day or two. If I leave the system off but the fan on, it seems to blow at the expected medium speed.

There is a good use @ reasonable cost for two stage cooling. When you have a two or three zone system this can be very efficient and affective.
@amfmechanicbowlingcommunit5048 Жыл бұрын
How do I test if my VFD it’s running at full speed? I know by fact that a degraded fan signal that results in the fan speed being lower that the board is requesting. For example, at fan only 50% fan signal should be 30 HZ on the VFD. At 100% fan signal (full cooling) the VFD should be running 60 hz. If you see something different, the board may need to be replaced.

Hey Ted, in the upper left-hand corner of that board there's a little square with an "FP" in it at the (3:00 min. mark) and it says "flame current" right above there. It looks like there are 2 little solder pin positions there. Is that where you take is that where you take the uA for the flame sensor reading at on that board?

most likely specified in the building plans by the "stooge architect", so that all mechanical's and piping are at one location, that's seen the least.... nothing out front of house, nothing visible above roof-line/peak and all out the wall with least amount of windows. which is often narrow adjoining side yards, with a fence smashed between and poor airflow. shall I mention the homes all being too close together and neighbors having their noses up each others butts 24/7

So are you saying either get a single stage or go to a variable 18-20 seer unit? Isn't that a huge price difference? So 2stage to you has no real benefit over single? I ask because I'm replacing 2.5 ton 14 seer single stage unit soon sq 1,450 ft home. I think i would have to move up to a 3 ton unit to get any kind variable stage units.
