Help understanding ac 2 zone?

[Kat31m]

Hi,
I bought a '02 KSDP recently, love it. I am a little confused about the 2 ac system. Yes, I read the manual, still confused. When I go to mode and "cool" ok, zone 1 or 2, a small _ blinks under the #. Then I switch to other zone and _ blinks under that #. How do I know which one/or both are activated? Sometimes at a 30amp park I only want 1 zone so I don't overload. Running 1, does it matter which one? Thanks to anyone who can try to help!! Kathy

On ours, the # that is blinking is the zone you are looking at/setting on the control. Zone 1 is the front and zone 2 is the bedroom.
It doesn't matter which one you run, it only depends on which area you want to cool or heat. I think that if you have an Energy Management System, you can run both with 30 amp, but if you turn on anything else of if they have a weak breaker at the park, it will switch off the breaker.
We used both heat pumps on a 30 amp connection and managed to trip the park breaker our last time out. Reset everything and noticed that the EMS shed the rear Heat Pump and would only default to the rear furnace from then on until we got home and fired up the genny.

Kathy: I have a 04 KSDP. AC/heat pump. I have an EMS but I have learned to only run the front unit on 30 AMPs. My furnace will automatically flip from heat pump to furnace if the front unit is on. But if I use only the back heat pump, it will not flip automatically. This is great in cold weather.

#1 blinking is front. #2 blinking is rear. Watch the fan setting. Try to keep it on Auto or the fan will run continually.

When you go into each zone and activate the zone to "cool" both AC's will operate, the front one is controled by sensor in the control unit and the rear is controled by the white sensor on your bedroom wall. If you find that bedroom is not shutting off take cover off wall, the sensor may have fallin into the wall and will have to be fished out. When you get it out, hold in place with some sealent, to hold in place in sensor housing. The bedroom sensor only senses for cooling or for a heat pump AC unit in bedroom.
When furnace runs only the sensor in control unit up front will control heat.
