The System Controller can accommodate up to 16 Model 8870 thermostats connected with one or more
Model 8818 Distribution panels. Each thermostat on the thermostat network must have a unique ID.
Note that Model 8870 thermostats may also be set up as humidistats. Throughout this manual we refer to
both as thermostats.
To automatically scan for thermostats:
Automatic detection is best for new installations, and sets a default name ("Thermostat 1", etc.) for each:
1. On the Climate tab, select Aprilaire Model 8818 under Communication Devices, as shown above.
2. Click the Discover Devices button at the lower right of the screen: click OK if prompted.
3. Wait for the process to complete: you will then see a list of the thermostats in the system component
tree.
4. To change the name of the thermostat:
Click the desired thermostat in the system component tree
Edit the Name box in the properties window and change the name as desired and press Enter.
To manually add thermostats:

2. Click the Add New ... button.
3. Type in the desired name for the thermostat.
