How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: System may be hot; use caution.
- 1. Check thermostat location: Ensure thermostats are not directly above radiators or in drafts, which can cause rapid cycling.
- 2. Review control settings: On the Energy Kinetics Energy Manager, verify that economy and temperature settings are within recommended ranges.
- 3. Observe zone calls: If many small zones call briefly, consider having a technician adjust zoning or add a buffer tank.
Persistent short cycling is mainly a design/control issue and should be evaluated by an Energy Kinetics specialist.
