So we're out here today to kind of finish up a PM and then we found things that were wrong a lot of this equipment was replaced by two chucks in a truck as You'll see some of these units are completely lopsided that one there doesn't drain right You can look at the roof line there to the top. That's crooked. That one over there is crooked This one here had no return air, so they brought a hundred percent outside in heat exchange is cracked. It's only a year old Manufacturer says no warranty now the jade controller out of that one was never installed this one here They tied y1 y2 together that's gonna make the jade good right into mechanical cooling these here two units were changed out and Dingleberry he didn't make sure he had the right size unit. So if you look at this here, you can see the curb They're on the right and they're at the left Look at this see the air filters Yeah, there's a big ass freaking gap in between here It's sucking all the air from the ground which yeah, it's supposed to pull air in right there But it's supposed to be able to be metered Here's pulling the leaves right in well what the guy did because he didn't understand the wiring He just went ahead and took some of these little cheap Cooler stats or whatever Just threw the bulb in down here Well, it's not heating properly Two-stage unit set up for single stage you name it. It ain't right So this is gonna be the tangoid will miss that I'm gonna be messing with today We're gonna try to figure out. What's what Jim Bob there obviously didn't want to figure that out So he just took that other stat up you can see we have some thermostat wires here You know unprotected on that unit over there thermostat wire was literally laying across the heat exchanger So not only is it crooked, but thermostat wires was laying across the thermos across the heat exchanger I had to do a temporary fix You know before it ends up melting the wires off the reason why it wasn't running is because the belt got so lucid It snapped and broke so I Drilled through the side here ran it across punched up and came through at least now it's not on the heat exchanger, but we're gonna come in lift this and Level it up for them either the roof sagging or whatever, but either way it should have been addressed So what we're gonna do is we're gonna see if we can find the wires going to the thermostat Their THHN wires. They're not traditional thermostat. So what I've done is I've killed power here I got power off. I'm gonna see if kills the thermostat see if we're on the right circuit And we're gonna use the wire tracer to see if we can trace these wires It's a 10 degrees and with windshield about three I don't know why Today was chosen to be a good day to do this, but It's what we're doing. It doesn't bother you until you take the gloves off. So anyhow going to Go down and see if that wiring is going to that box All right, hopefully we don't get a copyright strike. Thanks to them jamming out on the radio The area it takes care of is a pool area. So it's definitely high humidity in here We're kind of tracing these down What they'll make sense is that it actually has Y hooked up and there's no cooling obviously up there unless they're You know, they don't even have mechanical dampers. I don't know what they're doing I like I said, it probably was a totally different system and some Chuck in the truck came in and underbidded people and this is what ends up happening It looks like it must have been it because it's dead What I'm gonna do is see if we can pull those back out put that toner on there. They went from It looks like 12 gauged Thermostat wire, it's not uncommon. I I wonder if that is controlling. I know what it is That's crawling controlling the exhaust fans. What I think it goes to the little sensor thingy here Until it was in pretty bad shape. Thanks to the pool it It broke so they're gonna need a thermostat non program was probably the best way to go Spaces for the pool area. So let's go get the tracers who we get. I've done a video on this before It's just a toner telephone guys network guys use these just it's made for phone and data. Well Tracing data wires not really live data wires, but got links down below All right, let's go see if we can trace some Mars now. Now. This is kind of nice come in bingo So right there is the white wire that we had down there on the wall See it right there So that's powering the coil on that relay Then that comes to this low voltage looking wire, which then travels up to here But it's isolated so obviously it's not going through I'm surprised we've been getting bleed through shouldn't be but It's practically done All they had to do is hook the sucker up probably run into people are just so lazy now this has I Believe two-stage and of course Can't read the instructions or the destructions nothing on that Some basic wire troubleshooting here the other one over there. I believe had The wiring diagram on it at least now we know where we're going with that now I think what they're doing for the cooling is they're controlling the exhaust fans This does not have a de-identification unit on it Most of the places that have pools that I've worked on have outside air along with air conditioning along with heat I'll combine into one dectron unit is what's at one of the other locations. I've worked at Yeah exhausts the exhaust fans. That's most likely there's east exhaust fan Those are both probably coming down to the Cooling terminals she met a stat. They don't even have that I don't even know where that's at if they even have one and then there's your fan Which I bet the fan brings on the blowers that way if you're pulling it out with the exhaust fans I'll be bringing air into the building if we go over there to the transformer. You can see a black and red wire right over there Follow that over. Here's the red distributing to everything else and Then there's the black. So this could be your common. Here's your R And then it's just going to divert to whatever relay is doing what just isolation relays not Anything spectacular here. I would bet that this right here Yep, look at that. There's G green. At least they use some colors are halfway smart There's that orange wire, which I forget what our orange was but that's getting all that's getting powered These are the common terminals as you can see they're jumping here to there and Exhaust fans are just using bigger contactors to that and those are being powered off of one common wire to that side of the contactor and this is your Bet you why one why two so we'll just track it down and see what we get took the cover off that one and We're able to see where things are at Got our coming up to number eight. So eight is our w goes to 12 w2 goes to 13 common goes to seven. I Don't see G yet. It might be automatic, but blower motor contactor What I end up doing is bringing over this schematic and writing in here what the Numbers are for what terminal As we come back over to here, we look at this. I unhook the Jim Bob special if you follow this contactor here when you turn it on immediately comes off What they have done is they've taken the red terminal Up to number three and they've taken the brown terminal to number seven Three and seven seven we know is common. So we know that's that and Three there's three right there Customers normally close alarm contacts Smoke detector you have are coming over to five five going to three which that goes to the transformers Feed so they've just taken it straight over to our bypassing all this crap The alarm will break are going to the thermostat, which will then break everything else myself personally I like seeing alarm come in right at the transformer, which I think is what they've done here Yep, okay, so they are breaking it. Here's a transformer Here's the alarm. It's a normal closed switch They're bringing our into the alarm panel back out alarm panel and bringing it back on three three so There's three then three feeds all this other stuff. So okay, the question is shouldn't this fan run all the time I'm going to say Probably so because they got a sense, you know, they got to have constant air movement everywhere commercial building Usually you got to bring constant air into the building. I'm going to leave the blower running all the time There's nothing wrong the way they've got that wired. So we're gonna leave that alone All we need to really do is focus on heat Cycle heat on and off and then hopefully Since he didn't screw with it those exhaust fans that were thrown the other side of this pool area They are going to continually run Now he only hooked up w1, which is probably why this area is kind of cold now that we're 10 degrees outside We're going to pick another terminal for w2 Like I mentioned, it's like 10 degrees out here.  It's not the right way to do it, but it could be done later We just need to get this thing working properly. It's been like this for at least a year or two And it ain't right on that piece over there I'm gonna see if I can get a piece of cardboard and block the underside until we can come back and redo the curb That's our plan Chuckie. That's our plan. So at least we know the safety device for the fire alarm is wired correctly We're good there. Let's go over here and fix this other Managed to Rosty. Hopefully these relays still work. I know that 8 is w2 I'm going to use that as my w2 Just because it's available. I don't need to worry about G because G is not being used for anything For the fan because we're gonna run these constantly. So we're gonna use that available Terminal for that We're bouncing back and forth, but we just changed these filters and you can see these leaves that are getting sucked in Which is great really great Yeah, electrical wires here just danglin Like I said, you can see the It's just wrong. It's so wrong. Wow.  I'm a little bit leery of cutting that G terminal because I have a funny that G funny feeling that G is Potentially powering those exhaust fans and I don't want the exhaust fans to not run I would rather have to run the thermostat on batteries than to Give up that common and screw myself. That way we have at least w1 w2 Let's do that. What I did is I cut them long that way you can you don't have to remember you could write it down to ours red Looks like Y was orange The W was white and then common was blue. So the blue is that black one That's the one I'm going to use for my heat the Green wire actually since it was going to Y was controlling the exhaust That's what I think they were doing with it. They didn't write down what they were doing with it But that's that makes the most sense. We got a switched around got orange here on w2 White on w1. I used blue for that Y2 we got blue which is a color We used to use it one of the places I worked at so I got that there It's easy to remember. That's what's really important. So when you're up on the roof, you know, what's going on So we're good there that locks in it mounts. Okay. It ain't wonderful. I believe this part here will fit Yes, it will good enough and as you can see it's a little bit cool in the pool area You usually want to be about two degrees warmer than what your water is That way your water doesn't evaporate. Well, their water. They're trying to hold I think at 84 So we're probably gonna run about 86 We'll try that Fan it's not wasn't used on this other one at all. So we're not even so the fans are talking about must be the fans for the building And they weren't even hooked up. So they're doing that off of y1 and y2. That should get us started I got the wire ran Along with that one there's wire tied. It's not the way it should be done. I already know this But they can fix it when they come back to do all this other stuff It'll be good enough to get us to heat on and get things going got two relays here. I preferred I had two of the Honeywell slash Mars, whatever or double pull double throw and Since that one original w1 is being used. I just got a single. I hate these I think these are junk, but this is the only two I got on my truck So they're gonna have to work This is the other unit. Let's get it wired up real quick. All we're doing is thermostat calls coming in Powering w1 a w2 that's not in there yet, which will probably come over here and then loops it over there It uses the transformer over there. It's gonna completely isolated So that unit is nothing more than a thermostat coming over here And this is just a thermostat with a relay coil basically so these contacts are gonna close It's gonna keep this transformer isolated from this unit. It's called an isolation transformer old school That's exactly what they did here By doing the double pole you're able to run w2 for one unit here the other unit here We're gonna use the normally open contacts That's in the unenergized state is what normally open means Normal closed means it's normally closed in the unenergized state. There's our coil And then same thing here. Just got to look it up coil is going to be three and one contact points are gonna be four and two and Should be good to go. I don't blame you if you can't follow along, but here's what we got wire comes in brought it through the bottom Came up to here. Not the way. I want to do it. Here's the other unit. We've got W2 just going over on the blue here. I got tighten that up better W1 is coming up here to the single relay The coils are paralleled on with coils of w1 down here The other contacts were being used for something don't know what this thing's a fluster mess Who knows what in the world they were doing? That common wire is now unhooked and it's going to be the coil for w2 So this is now w2's power the common is these blue wires Which I piggybacked off of the common which all these are sharing and I got it also over the common on this So it's pretty simple, but it looks like a total flipping mess and it is everyone here knows I got this blue marker. So I'm marking it here as they know the bottom ex former powers the relays and stat each unit uses It's own ex former and is isolated with w1 and w2 relay.  I didn't do it So I made sure that we were just using the power from each unit Isolated here the controls down below and the coils is powered by that transformer down there, which is also powered by the thermostat Everything looks to be powered correctly. We've got orange coming up to They are that's being powered from this particular unit closest to us Common for that is being powered off the same transformer down below that black wire is my w2 from down below Everything should work.  No, it's pretty as I usually do it, but my fingers. I can't feel them so let's just worry about that later half time I see guys leaving the damn things dangles all over the freaking place stray wires You don't know if they're live or what so let's see if this thing goes straight to the second stage It kicked on and you can tell it's in high fire because that's more steam coming out of it than I've ever seen yet The other ones not even put nowhere near that So we're actually hammering out some freaking air now Which is good That's partially open. That's good now. It can handle it. I'll button that up here in a minute Let's go get this turkey done as you can see that one over there is cranking it. This one here is not even Nothing So we're gonna go ahead and set this thing down. I've got it wired up the same way contactors all the time for the fan W1w2 Got a label that yet It's able to run it right into the side here like I said not the way I would do it didn't install it My company did not install this we sure as heck would never done nothing like this now what I did do I'm writing it in here again 812 and 13 stat relay at East Heater Not pretty but guess what you actually know where the heck things are going You know what's gonna happen is this label is gonna get destroyed and you're not gonna have it to look at You can tell how the other one looks this one here is getting destroyed too Because snow and stuff gets in there. So this thing should kick on and run now Then we got to work on trying to get that blocked off down below there when we do that though We're gonna have to open up this damper. Let's go ahead and open that up a little bit that way when we block off the bottom They won't be completely screwed. Hopefully See how that is definitely not no duck balancer Quack quack quack go ahead and strip this down long ways Kind of folding it over got it in there We're going to zip screw here and here the rain eventually is going to wear it out But I think they're going to be down here possibly in a week or so whatever Better than what it was and it's been like this for a year and a half or longer Doing what we came with what we got to work with they had a lot of these leftover Gas risers and stuff so put one underneath that side And one this other side. This is hillbilly as hell, but Like I said I wasn't supposed to do that when I came down here What I supposed to done was just change some filters And tweak a couple other things and that was supposed to be it but this got thrown in on top of it I'm going to go downstairs and turn it down make sure they shut down make sure they stage properly Let's go down there and check see what's going on in the pool area. It is 76 in here so far. Let's see what the pool water is doing It's being great to drop my thumb down here in it. Whoops a little too far Running right at 84 degrees. You've got to have a temperature difference to have evaporation as you guys already know That's why you got to keep it so warm so 84 technically you need 86 Now supposedly these are the exhaust fans. I haven't checked to make sure But I did turn them back on and want to make sure they run still Let's turn this thing down a little touch Make sure it shuts off And go upstairs Now one of the other disasters we got going on here is this They've got a stat that does nothing more than meet temperature in the room This is uh duct sensors make up air unit in all reality But it doesn't have a thermostat override and so I'm going to check the back of this to see if there's a placed over right inside here I was told they might have one there It does not appear to have anything on the back side Manuals of course are all missing and the man is that I've got are unfortunately not quite the right ones This is another this is what I was originally down here for Then all this other stuff got piled on and then we did the pm and all that so anyhow It's least holding the gymnasium 70 degrees I got jumped by the racquetball guys man. It's hot in here. All right good. That's shut down And so they were on it like 72 in there which Man an exercise place.  Let's go turn it back up again. Got to check those exhaust fans yet. Okay. This one's working Yep, it's pulling out some humidity Then we got this one over here Now I will tell you I did a video of that little unit right there If you see how everything else is here, you really wouldn't notice the gas line of the rain in three quarter inch black I forget to take that stuff's cold That one's running too good They didn't even hook the gas line up that unit It was just off So that's a video I was gonna Show and I just never got around to it yet. I might show it. It's kind of funny because I don't notice it at first Uh, they had the thermostat wire all dangling. I got it inside the box as in conduit Just common Oh, it's just common stuff. Let's go back down and turn that up and uh There's exhausts on and stuff. It should start bringing the temperature up And hopefully remove some of the humidity as best as possible The air outside is pretty dry The one we just looked at Is that unit over there? It's holding temperature. It ain't what I figured it should be I believe it's moved by sterling. I've never worked on any of their equipment. Any out Let's go back down. I went ahead and checked the temperature rise just a little bit ago And they are operating properly, which is great Uh, I almost forgot got to change this limit. Obviously it was bad It was damaged when the belt broke and you see it smacked the living snot out of things The pulleys were not aligned cut that uh realigned when we were here the other day Belts on uh had to repair the wire So that's uh got that one up and going too. All right guys, it's going to wrap things up So hopefully you enjoyed the video if you did please hit that thumbs button down below Don't forget to subscribe to the channel and check out the facebook and instagram pages And until next time guys, we will catch you on the next one later


It's an honor and a privilege because what he worked through at his time and day, that he could persevere to anything. For us, he made it pretty much paid away for us to be here in the Navy, in the military, where it was mostly prominently white.

Instead of just celebrating and accepting what we know about life.   What do you know is true for sure? You see in an atheistic evolutionary world view. We are simply stardust bumping into stardust There is no foundation for logic morality or truth think about it If we're just chemical reactions, what's one chemical reaction to say to another that something is right or wrong? You see if your worldview is confined to that which is Material then you can't account for truth or logic because those things are immaterial So what is our foundation for truth?
