Always make sure that there is no power to the modules by removing the thermostat from the sub-base.

1.Remove the thermostat from the sub-base.

2.Wire the first sensor using the single support module instructions. Daisy chain the remaining support modules as shown below (FIG. 29).

3.Set the VST-TTM or VST-TRH Support Module DIP switches as described in the following Setting the Support Module DIP Switches section.

4.Replace the thermostat on the sub-base. Check for proper operation of each sensor.

Setting the Support Module DIP Switches

Both the VST-TTM and VST-TRH support modules contain a 6-position DIP switch (FIG. 30) located on the circuit board to set the support modules address, mode (monitor/control), and the temperature sensor source (T1/T2 or Onboard Sensor). The ViewStat displays the temperature reading of whichever remote sensors are connected to support modules in control mode. When multiple support modules are connected and in control mode, the ViewStat displays an average of all incoming temperature readings. If all connected support modules are set to monitor mode, then the ViewStat displays the temperature reading from the on-board sensor, and the temperature from the remote sensor (or the average temperature if you’re using multiple sensors) is displayed as the REMOTE temperature.
