FOR EASE OF INSTALLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING DO THE FOLLOWING: Use Category-5 cable for all communication wiring. Check and recheck to ensure connection to the proper terminals before powering up the thermostats. Use wire color as a guide and be consistent. Use a Distribution Panel on all systems with more than one zone to simplify wiring and troubleshooting.

DISCONNECT POWER TO ALL HVAC EQUIPMENT AND/OR ZONE CONTROL PANELS

If the thermostats are wired to a zone control panel, there is generally one set of input terminals supplying power to the thermostats and dampers. This must be disconnected. If the thermostats are wired directly to HVAC equipment, the power must be shut off at the equipment. This can generally be accomplished by turning off the disconnect switch located near the equipment. If an obvious disconnect switch is unavailable, you will need to turn the circuit off using the fuse or circuit breaker. Remove the fuse or shut down the circuit breaker serving the equipment.

CAUTION
Failure to disconnect power could result in damage to the HVAC equipment or thermostats. Leave power disconnected until all other electrical connections have been made and checked for accuracy.

CHECK-OUT COMMUNICATIONS TO THE THERMOSTAT NETWORK

This section confirms communications to each thermostat and each thermostats network address. 1. At the distribution panel turn on the communication switches A and B for the thermostat with address#1 (see FIGURE 15). 2. At the Hyperterminal program type: SN ID? and press Enter. You should see response: SN1 MODEL# 8800 VER: x.xxx - RPC 2011 (x.xxx represents the current firmware version number) If the response is not exactly as shown, there is a communication signal problem. The most likely sources are a loose terminal connection, incorrect wire type, damaged wire, electrical interference or incorrect power supply. 3. Now back at the distribution panel turn on the communication switches A and B for the thermostat with address#2. 4. At the Hyperterminal program type: SN ID? and press Enter. You should see response from both thermostats: SN1 MODEL# 8800 VER: x.xxx - RPC 2011 SN2 MODEL# 8800 VER: x.xxx - RPC 2011 5. Repeat this process adding one thermostat each time to verify communications to all thermostats. Each time you turn on the communication switches and send SN ID? command to a new thermostat, a new SN number should respond. 6. Once you have successfully completed this procedure you have verified that proper communication exists between the computer and all of the thermostats. To test out all of the functions of the thermostat, use the software or automation package being installed with this system.
