Samsung Gen6 Settings - Remove Zoning
Hi,
I have a Samsung Gen6/Joule ASHP currently set with 3no. thermostats (1 per floor) controlling 3 heating zones (all radiators). I'd like to move to a single zone (or possibly 2?) controlled by the ground floor thermostat ("Thermostat 1") and use the radiator trvs to control room temps on the upper floors. The purpose of this is to
a) Increase the water flow to try increase efficiency (based on my understanding from heat geek videos), and
b) allow the bathroom towel rads in the upper floors be heated even if the upper floor is 'warm enough' according to the floor thermostat.
Currently each zone is wired to a a separate thermostat and I can see where these are connected in (2 wires from each thermostat). What i cant see from the samsung literature is how to switch control of these zones to the ground floor unit. Could i just disconnect Thermostat 2 and 3 and use jumper cables from Thermostat 1 to get things working as intended or is there a way to 'programme' this from the Samsung Controller?
Any assistance is appreciated in advance, I am struggling to make sense of the samsung/joule set up information to achieve this.
So I've found the answer to my own question. The joule control board is only wired in to the "Zone 1" of the gen6 controller. So zone 2 of the Samsung controller is irrelevant and however Zone 1 is set up will apply to all thermostat controls on the system.
In my case I am now trialling heating on pure weather compensation but with the thermostats acting as a high temp limit switch. So I have the thermostats on each level to 1 Deg above where I would like the room temperature and I will try playing with the water law settings (and maybe radiators) to dial it in.
To confirm the joule unit operates as such I contacted Samsung and confirmed that only the B22 live cable is connected between the Samsung board and the joule PCB. If there was B24 connected between the two it would control zone 2 on the Samsung controller
