You can't. So now what? Think about it.
What tells your air-to-air x-changer to turn on? Maybe that's what needs to
be controlled? But how?

Its easy.... just need to know where to look and what to look for.

(hint.... think Honeywell controls)

The HRV ventilator runs constantly and is not electrically connected to
the furnace or thermostat in any way. I just set it to run "normal"
(50cfm) or "Boost" (100cfm) or "recirculation".

No Carrier experts here? In the manual they mentioned a 5sec delay for
heat pumps (compared to the 66sec for NG)... what is the difference
between the two boards? Maybe I can reproduce that same
difference....?

I have to say that Carrier themselves are perhaps the most unhelpful
company around... when I found a number (took quite some time), the
only respose I got was "call your local installer"... well, too bad
that guy doesn't have a clue either.. he doesn't make them; he just
installs them... duh..

Peace, Dan

Told you before....
1) Call a *competent* tech
2) If you just have to DIY, then talk to some controls folks (Honeywell)
3) You have to be smarter than the piece of equipment you are working with.

After you have re-designed your furnace, don't forget to have it
re-certified by UL, GAMA, and have it inspected by your local code
enforcement authority, then make sure that your insurance is paid current.

I don't care what kind of degree you have... or what kind of experience you
have... but fosile fuel burning appliances are not something that you really
need to be playing with *UNLESS* you have the training, education,
certifiications, licenses, and experience to do so.

That being said, its an easy fix, and no its not going to be free.

It's not my intention to play with any part of the appliance that
directly relates to the gas or some saftey features etc. But you don't
need a lisence to do some simple wiring to the motor (ie. Fanhandler)
or make a simple, mechanical adjustment to the board... if there is one
possible...

Not free as in "I won't tell you for free" or as in "you have to buy an
expensive part"? If it's #1, can I offer you some cash???? If it's
#2, then I'm going to look into James' advice above... thanks...

Peace, Dan
