What does RTU-02 mean?

A stage is flipping on and off many times an hour.

Why does it matter?

Hunting wears contactors and never settles the space; it usually means the staging deadband or sensor is wrong.

What should you do?

Widen the stage deadband / inter-stage delay; check for a noisy or badly located space sensor.
