2. IMPORTANT! When addressing the thermostats, the
Model 8870 thermostat(s) must either be the first
addresses on the network, or there must be one address
skipped between 8840 series thermostats. For example, if
one Model 8870 thermostat were to be added to an
existing four 8840 series thermostat network then the 8870
thermostat must be addressed #1 or #6. Change the
existing address #1 to be #5 and add the 8870 as address
#1, or simply add the new thermostat as address #6.
IMPORTANT: Set “Number of Stats On Network” to 32 and
Set BAUD Rate to 9600.
3. Unplug the Model 8811 Protocol Adapter power supply
and RS-232 connection. Remove the four screws securing
the cover to the base. Remove the pin jumpers (shunts)
labeled JP9 (see ILLUSTRATION 13 for relative location).
Replace the shunts on just one of the pins.
