ViewStat Installation and Wiring

Minimize wire entry hole size and seal – drafts from inside the wall could affect temperature readings.

3.Fasten the base to the wall with the supplied screws.

4.Seal wire entry using caulk, drywall putty or insulation.

Loss of internal programs may result from static discharge to thermostat circuit board. Installer must touch a grounded metal object before handling the circuit board.

Connecting the ViewStat to AMX Control Systems

When a Mini Verter is used the Viewstat has a single RJ-45 jack on the rear panel, and uses ICSNet cabling to connect to NetLinx or Landmark control systems.

The terms "PhastLink" and ICSNet" are essentially interchangeable within the context of cabling/connectors. They both use a standard 10BaseT type connection (i.e. Category 5 wire and RJ-45 connectors), and they share the same pinout information for the RJ-45 jacks. Generally the term "PhastLink" is used when dealing with Landmark, and "ICSNet" is used when describing NetLinx control systems.

The wires should be connected in the standard manner described in the following table. If standard EIA/TIA 568A/B color coding is followed, wiring problems will be minimized.
