(Incidentally, from a past post about not getting more output from the 2<sup>nd</sup> stage of the heat pump. You have to set the 1<sup>st</sup> stage to 25 tons and the 2<sup>nd</sup> stage to 50 tons. Not 25 and 25.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I know there is an input for # of heat pumps turned on. However, I would like to be able to turn the stages on individually. Therefore, HP1 starts at stage 1, turns on stage2, and then HP turns on stage 1. My understanding is that if HP1 has stage 1 and 2 turned on , HP2 will have both stages turned on as well. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In the past I piped the heat pumps (type668) up individually and controlled the valves to divert the flow appropriately.
