6.Snap the circuit board back into the sub-base by sliding the top of the board in first and then snapping down on the bottom. Check to be sure that the latch holds the board properly.

7.Strip ¼ inch of insulation from the four wires at the support module. Install the wires in the terminals labeled RSR, RSC, RSB and RSA. One twisted pair of wires should be used for the RSR and RSC connection and another pair of twisted wires should be used for the RSB and RSA connection. Push the extra wire back into the wall cavity. Seal the hole in the wall around the cable to eliminate any draft that might affect the sensor.

8.Connect the wires on the thermostat sub-base to the terminals labeled RSR, RSC, RSB and RSA on the ViewStat base (see FIG. 5 on page 10) and the Communication and Equipment Terminal Wiring Definitions table on page 20). Make sure that each terminal on the support module is wired to the terminal with the same label at the thermostat.

9.If necessary, change the Support Module DIP switch settings as described in Setting the Support Module DIP Switches section on page 35.

DIP switches must be set prior to powering the support module (support module is powered when thermostat is returned to its base). If switches need to be changed after powering the support module, the thermostat must be removed from its base for a minimum of 15 seconds to ensure proper reset of the support module.

10.Mount the thermostat on the sub-base and confirm that it is displaying the right temperature from the support module or remote sensor.

Multiple Support Module Installation

Up to 4 support modules can be connected to provide temperature or humidity averaging in a large area or for several zones being controlled by the same system. The maximum cumulative distance of all the support modules from the ViewStat is 1000 ft (304.8 m).
