can you have two on the same circuit and thermostat
1035056
I installed two, each on their own circuit, and each with their own thermostat.
1035057
you can as long as you check the circuit breaker rating and the thermostat rating and don't exceed the capacity of either one.
1035058
You can if you adjust the wattage to where the two will not exceed 4000 W at 240 V
1035059
yes, but you can't exceed 80% on whatever size wire and breaker you have. For example if you have 10 gauge wire and a 30 amp breaker you can puta total of 24 amps on a single circuit. Realisticly the max thermostoat or relay is 22 amps for 10 gauge.The max for 20amp 12 guauge is 16 amps of heaters which is a tad over 3800 watts.4000 watts would be slightly over the max for a 12 guage 20 amp circuit.

Absolutely! It never hurts to operate 2 at the same time. That's what I do and it takes care of our 2,000 sq.ft. Home. Consider the size of your house and g by that. These are the best you can buy in my opinion.

My thermostat has two wires and my solenoid value has two wires. I just connected one wire from the thermostat to one wire to the solenoid. Likewise, I connected the other wire from the thermostat to the other wire to the solenoid. The two transformer wires that provide power are connected directly to two terminals within the thermostat - under its cover.

It depends on the capacity of the thermostat. If you have 3 heaters of 1200 watts each, and your thermostat is rated for only 3000 watts, you are only able to run 2 together.

I don't believe so. You plug this into the wall and your heat source into the thermostat. I believe there can only be one heat source per thermostat. I know herpostats which are more expensive allow you to hook up multiple sources

Yes just be aware of what else maybe drawing off the circuit you are looking to add the heater to. Requests a dedicated circuit.

I would not connect to a Thermostat line. One is for A/C and the other for heat pump. If the drain line gets clogged, you do not want to turn off the heat pump, because the A/C would continue to run and overflow. There are connections to turn off the entire unit. Look at the wiring diagram to find them the entire unit, better to connect there.

This does not include GFCI. A GFCI version exists or you can add a GFCI on the circuit before this thermostat.

Yes you should be able to connect the same wires to the same post on the thermostat. mine also came with directions. You should be fine.Good luck

No, you can link multiple sensors to one thermostat but not multiple thermostats to one sensor. You would benifit from having multiple sensors so the average temp is used helping reduce heating/cooling cost and reducing hot and cold areas.

Ours is wired to use two switches. Not an electrician, but I would imagine you could wire them both to one switch if desired.

The unit is not designed to be broken into 2 deferent components. You would need 2 switches.

The manual for the RC840 (without transformer) shows how to do this using an external transformer. http://www.aubetech.com/manuel/2/RC840.pdf transformer below or most local suppliers: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-AT150A1007-Transformer-universal-knockout/dp/B00096SJ1W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1410107869&sr=8-5&keywords=24+v+thermostat+transformer However, I did not see the RC840 listed on Amazon. If it is not availiable you should be able to use the RC840T-240 using the same diagram in the RC840 manual, just by disregarding the "R" terminal. product info or RC840T-240 says " Low current consumption means multiple relays can be controlled by a single thermostat " suggesting that most thermostats should be OK, but it looks like the built in transformer is only big enough for one relay. I would not recommend parallelling the transformers to increase capacity, this could could cause a dangerous feedback loop.

Hello Robert,No, you will not be able to run both at the same time. The Department of Energy, willno longer allow us to sell the vavle that woulddo that. Thanks for your interest!Zoe Industries

Yes, it can. We just upgraded our A/C to a two-stage blower and compressor, and used this same thermostat. However, an additional wire will need to be run from the blower to the thermostat.

Yes, you can only use one if you wish, the other one could or could not be used for other temp readings ie in you fridge or perhaps use it to monitor temp outside of the house.

Doubt it. Thermostats are low voltage. Cost would be high but you can use a step down transformer. In real life - just turn the stupid thing on or off!
