The backup heat source operated by W2 has an adjustable differential. The differential
is relative to the previous heating stage.
No radiant floor heating, no heat pump (no W1, no Y1, no Y2)
The W2 relay’s differential is ±1°F (0.5°C) centered around Set Heat.
Radiant floor heating, no heat pump (W1, no Y1, no Y2)
The W2 relay turns on at Set Heat - Backup Differential.
Single Stage Heat Pump (W1, Y1, no Y2)
The W2 relay turns on at Set Heat - 1°F (0.5°C) - Backup Differential.
Two Stage Heat Pump (W1, Y1, Y2)
The W2 relay turns on at Set Heat - 1°F (0.5°C) - Y2 Differential - Backup Differential.
