Note: The CVTPRO converter is not compatible with Zone Terminal Units (ZTUs). For ZTUs, use the CBLPRO-2 converter. See the Auxiliary Gear Technical Bulletin (LIT-6363080)for details on Johnson Controls® converters.

1For proper CVTPRO converter operation when running on Windows NT OSs, Service Pack 6 must be installed.

2For proper CVTPRO converter operation when running on Windows 2000 OSs, use the Professional Edition only, and Service Pack 2 must be installed.

3On Zone Bus applications running on Windows 2000 OSs, HVAC PRO Version 8.04B or later must also be installed.

*When using the VMA14x0 with HVAC PRO software (versions prior to Version 8.04B only) over the Zone Bus with Windows NT OSs, a Device Conflict box appears whenever the user attempts an operation (for example, upload or download). To bypass the box, select Yes or No and the box disappears. The selected operation continues as expected.

Battery Power Recommendations

The CVTPRO converter requires two (user-supplied)

AAAalkaline type batteries on N2 Bus applications (when the External Power Adapter is not used). Battery life varies depending on the N2 Bus load, ambient temperature and type of batteries. See Table 5 and observe the following guidelines.

•Always have a spare set of new batteries on hand.

•When performing long downloads with the CVTPRO converter, use the External Power Adapter instead of batteries.
