    About the Program

    This is a practical look at today's low-voltage control systems, and the many wiring combinations technicians encounter in the field.  The days of simple R-to-R, C-to-C, Y-to-Y, and W-to-W connections are largely behind us. Modern systems now incorporate staging controls, outdoor temperature lockouts, IAQ devices, communicating accessories, and a growing list of control options that can quickly become confusing.  Together, we'll break down:

    • Common low-voltage wiring configurations
    • Control board terminals and jumper settings
    • Staging and accessory integration
    • Outdoor temperature lockout strategies
    • IAQ device connections
    • Troubleshooting techniques using a voltmeter

    Bring your EDC (Everyday Carry) voltmeter and put it to the test as we work through real-world scenarios challenges.

    Come prepared to learn, troubleshoot, and gain confidence in the ever-changing world of low-voltage controls!
