7. Slide the MiniVerter back into its locking position in the mounting bracket.
8. With the connector-side of the MiniVerter seated in the guide-slots, gently press the opposite
side of the MiniVerter in and down, to snap it into its locked position on the mounting bracket.
9. Connect the Cat-5 RJ-45 connector on the MiniVerter to the Control System (Master or ICSNet
Hub).
Wiring the VST-TSTAT to a VST-DIST Distribution Panel
The optional VST-DIST Distribution Panel (not included) connects to up to eight VST-TSTAT
thermostats, providing a convenient and effective method of wiring multiple thermostats to the
control system's RS422 serial interface port.
The VST-DIST provides one RS422 interface to the control system and eight RS422 interfaces for
the thermostats.
Since the VST-DIST provides an RS422 interface to the control system, a MiniVerter
(VST-MVRT) is not required for communication.
The VST-DIST is intended for use with the VST-TSTAT, and is not intended for use with
the VST, which includes a MiniVerter.
