If your 2-stage unit has two compressors, you will need two ICM870 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ICM870 Soft Start is intended for residential, commercial, RV \u0026amp; marine applications. The ICM870 integrates compressor or motor in-rush current over startup time, thus reducing peak current demand on a power supply source by up to 70%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffectively reducing power draw to the A\/C, the ICM870 utilizes a built-in self learning algorithm to deliver the optimal in-rush current per application. The ICM870 will monitor system health including voltage, current, compressor startup and integrity. Upon a fault condition, it will halt operation and initiate a 4 minute anti-short cycle routine while providing diagnostic fault information by means of an LED indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/icmcontrols.com\/product\/icm870-32a\/\"\u003eClick here for ICM870-32A\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ICM870 Series Soft Starts are NOT recommended to be used with air conditioners or heat pumps which have control boards that sense compressor current and perform a lock out for fault conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAny Air Conditioner or Heat Pump which has a Comfort Alert control board or an Emerson Core Sense Module installed are not directly compatible for use with the ICM870 Series Soft Start.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eEmerson CoreSense\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003emodule can be bypassed when using the ICM870 Series Soft Starts.
