When first powered up, the message display will scroll through the current mode status, fan status, and heating/cooling output status. This is referred to as Passive Display because you do not interact with it. To get into the Set-Up Menu, press the Enter and Mode buttons at the same time. This is referred to as User Interactive Display, as the user navigates through various menu and sub-menu selections to change variables.

Set-Up is menu driven but only one menu item is visible at a time. FIG. 32 on page 39 shows the entire Main Menu. Selecting any one of the Main Menu items (by pressing the Enter button) will enter a corresponding Sub-Menu. The Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons are used to move between menu items or change values.

The Enter button is used to select a menu item or enter a value. When in Thermostat Set-Up, if none of the three navigation buttons are pressed in 5 minutes, the display will return to Passive Display.

For detailed information on accessing and using the various Set-Up menus, refer to the Set Up and Configuration section on page 39.

These steps must be done at each thermostat for communication to work properly.

1.Press the Mode and Enter buttons simultaneously at the thermostat. It may take a couple of tries to get them pressed together.

This will enter the Thermostat Set Up Menu. The first menu item that will appear on the text messaging display is an informational item that indicates that only the Scroll Up, Scroll Down (two buttons located immediately to the right of the text display) and the Enter buttons are used in thermostat set up. This will remain on the display for approximately 5 seconds or until any of the three aforementioned buttons are pressed. Thermostat Set Up is a series of sub-menu's that allow you to customize the ViewStat in various ways. The Set Up and Configuration section on page 39 outlines the set up features. The following steps will guide you only through Communications Set Up sub-menu (FIG. 17).

2.Press the Scroll Down button until the "Communications Set Up" menu shows on the display.

3.Press the Enter button to select this menu.

4.The first sub-menu item is "Set Thermostat ADDRESS". Press the Enter button to select this item.

5.Set the address between 1 and 64 using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.

Each thermostat must have a unique address (i.e. no two thermostats can have the same address)

Start with address 1 and increment by 1 for each new address - do not skip an address. This will optimize communications speed.
