For proper CVTPRO converter operation when running on Windows NT OSs, Service Pack 6 must be installed.
2
For proper CVTPRO converter operation when running on Windows 2000 OSs, use the Professional Edition only, and
Service Pack 2 must be installed.
3
On Zone Bus applications running on Windows 2000 OSs, HVAC PRO Version 8.04B or later must also be installed.
*
When using the VMA14x0 with HVAC PRO software (versions prior to Version 8.04B only) over the Zone Bus with
Windows NT OSs, a Device Conflict box appears whenever the user attempts an operation (for example, upload or
download). To bypass the box, select Yes or No and the box disappears. The selected operation continues as
expected.
Battery Power Recommendations
The CVTPRO converter requires two (user-supplied)
AAA alkaline type batteries on N2 Bus applications
(when the External Power Adapter is not used).
Battery life varies depending on the N2 Bus load,
ambient temperature and type of batteries. See
Table 5 and observe the following guidelines.
Always have a spare set of new batteries on hand.
When performing long downloads with the
CVTPRO converter, use the External Power
Adapter instead of batteries.
