1. Thermostats and sensors are to be located according
installation instructions provided with the units. The
thermostat has four configuration dip switches on the
circuit board that must be set according to the equipment
the thermostat will be controlling. Sensors have six
configuration dip switches that must be properly set.
The installation manuals provided with the products detail
how the switches are to be set.
Review the Network Interconnection Worksheet
(ILLUSTRATION 3) which shows how all the
communication components are connected together
and
✍
write down the location of, or a name for, each
thermostat in the system. This will assist in the software
set-up. Additional copies are available in the back
of this manual.

IMPORTANT!
THE FEW MINUTES SPENT WRITING DOWN
THE INFORMATION SUGGESTED IN THESE STEPS
WILL SAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME
DURING THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION.
2. Mount the zone control panel(s) if the HVAC system(s) is
zoned. Refer to the zone control panel installation
instructions.
3. The Aprilaire Distribution Panel must be mounted indoors
in an accessible location such as a closet or utility room.
All thermostats will be wired to the Distribution Panel, so
adequate workspace will be important. There are wire
access holes on the top, bottom, sides and back of the
Distribution Panel.
4. The Model 8811 Aprilaire Protocol Adapter must be
placed within six feet of the host computer or RS-232 port
of the automation system. The Protocol Adapter does not
get fastened down. All the cables and connectors needed
to attach the Protocol Adapter to the computer or
automation system are included with the adapter.
5. The Model 8027 Plug-in Transformer is used to power the
communication system. The transformer is wired to the
Distribution Panel. Locate this transformer in the same
space as the Distribution Panel if possible.
