APRll.AIRE COMMUNICATING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM INSTALLAnON
MANUAL
F.
ADDRF3S EACH COMMUNICATION
CARD (SEE ILLUSTRATION 4 ON PAGE 10)
1. Each Communication Card must have its own address in order to communicate properly with the system.
THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP TO ENSURE COMMUNICATIONS.
2. Communication Cards in the Communication Panel should be addressed as shown in Illustration 4. Start
with address #1. Address the cards by removing shunts (or pin jumpers) from the two pins on which it is
installed.
3. Communication Cards in sub-bases should be addressed according to the location in the Communication
Panel in which they are wired. For example, a sub-base/thermostat wired to the 2ad set of terminals nom
the top, on the left-hand side of the communication Panel should have address #2. See Dlustration 4 for
the correct address, and use the illustration included with the sub-base instructions to determine which
shunts/jumpers are to be removed.
4.
~ Write down the address for each thermostat on Diagram 1 (page 5).

1. MAKE SURE THAT ALL SWITCHES IN mE COMMUNICATION PANEL ARE OFF.
2. Connect the communication wires.

Use Diagram 3 on page 11 if the communication card for the thermostat is located in the
Communication Panel.

Use Diagram 4 on page 12 if the Communication Card for the thermostat is located in the Model 8809
sub-base located behind the thermostat

CONNECT Tm: COMMUNICATION
PANEL TO THE PROTOCOL ADAPTER AND CONNECT THE PROTOCOL
ADAPTER TO THE HOST COMPUTl:ROR AUTOMATION SYSTEM (SEE ILLUSTRATION 5 ON PAGE 13)
1. MAKE SURE THAT ALL SWITCHES IN mE COMMUNICATION PANEL ARE OFF!
2. Use Category-5 wire to connect the "RS-485 SERIAL IN" terminals on the Communication Panel with die
"Flying Leads" of the corresponding color on the Protocol Adapter (see mustration 5, page 13).
3. Connect the RS-232 port of the Protocol Adapter to the computer or automation system. A 6 ft. flat cable
with RJ-ll (phone jack) connections, and an RJ-ll to DB9 transition connector are provided.
4. Note: Older computers often used 25-pin connectors on ports, which requires a DB25 connector. A DB9
connector fits a 9-pin port. DB9 to DB25 transitions are available at most computer retail stores.
5. Power up the Protocol Adapter with die plug-in transfonner provided. The "Power' LED on the Protocol
Adapter along with the "Enable" LED's should light up when power is applied.

1. MAKE SURE THAT ALL SWITCHES IN mE COMMUNICATION PANEL ARE OFF!
2. Use a 2-wire thennostat cable to connect the load tenninals of the Model 8027 Plug-in Transformer to d1e
24V AC terminals of the Communication Panel (see Dlustration 6 on page 14).
3. Plug-in the transformer.
4.
The green LED on the bottom of the Communication Panel should be on. NO OTHER LED ON mE
COMMUNICATION
PANEL SHOULD BE ON.

J. TURN
ON POWER TO ALL BY AC EQUIPMENT AND TO THE THERMOSTATS (SEE ILLUSTRATION 7, PAGE 15)
1. Turn on power to the HV AC and/or zone control systems.
2. Go to the Communications Panel and verify that the green LED on die bottom of the Communication Panel
is the only one on. If any other LED is on, immediately unplug the transformer that powers the
Communication Panel. If everything is O.K., go on to step 3.
.
If any other LED is on. it is likely that the yellow shunt/jumper on the circuit board of one of the
thennostats has not been removed. Go to the thennostats, separate the front panel from the base and
look at the thermostat circuit board. Remove the yellow shunt/jumper to isolate the communication
