Polarizing requires a Modulating Current meter. Many VOM have them
now, they call em VOMM, for Volt Ohm Modulating Meter. Sure sounds
like your low voltage moduator might be out of synch with the circuit
board. I remember the days when you had to manually synch the
modulator every time you serviced a unit. That could take as long as
an hour, if you had to go through the six or seven cycles of bootup
which were required to fine tune the synch.

I think Oscar has a more up to date manual than mine, but some new
furnace autosynch. Just turn the power switch off for half an hour,
and make sure the case of the furnace is properly grounded to drain
off the high impedance farrady charge. Of course, Os will provide the
specific details, being a helpful fellow as he is.

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me how to polarize and sync the
thermostat or is special equipment required?

Hey meathead--you're not in the HVAC group. Your crap doesn't fit
here--save it for the sink hole you like to live in.

        Actually, he IS in the HVAC group, and you can go fuck
yourself. Learn what a cross-post is.

Thanks Paul. I had to pull out my Minion card and make sure it was
up-to-date with the current validation.

Now, what do I do with all these Minion tokens that Mike gave me? The
Minion vending machine has been broke for years since Stormin tried to
adjust the latch on the service door.
