Introduction
Introduction
The ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostat enables you to completely control your heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. The thermostat provides the current temperature (from an on-board sensor, a remote sensor, or an average of the on-board and remote sensors), controls and displays humidity, and displays the current outdoor temperature. The ViewStat Color Thermostat displays this information on a 3.5" (8.89 cm) color display. In addition, the ViewStat Color Thermostat provides the current day's weather forecast along with a five-day forecast. The forecast information is driven from AMX’s i!-Weather application. The thermostat receives the forecast information from a
NetLinx Master, with an internet-enabled IP connection, via AxLink. A three-year subscription to i!-Weather is included with purchase of the thermostat.

Installation and Wiring
Installation and Wiring
This section covers the installation and wiring of a ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostat system.
120 volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Disconnect electrical power to the HVAC system before starting installation. This system is a low-voltage system.
Improper installation may cause serious injury from electrical shock. This system must be installed by a qualified contractor in accordance with NEC Standards and applicable local and state codes.
Disconnecting Power to All HVAC Equipment
Since the thermostats wire directly to the HVAC equipment, you must shut off the power at the equipment. You can generally accomplish this by turning off the disconnect switch located near the equipment. If an obvious disconnect switch is unavailable, you need to remove the circuit breaker or shut down the fuse serving the equipment.
Failure to disconnect power could result in damage to the HVAC equipment or thermostats. Leave the power disconnected until you have made all other electrical connections and checked them for accuracy.
Selecting the Thermostat Location
Determine if the thermostat will be operating alone, or with remote temperature sensors. If the unit is stand-alone there are certain measures that must be taken to ensure accurate temperature control.
Stand-Alone Thermostat Mounting Criteria
Mount on an interior wall.
In a room frequently occupied.
At least 18 inches (45.72 cm) from any outside wall.
Approximately 5 feet (1.52 m) above the floor. Check with local building codes for height requirements in commercial applications.
DO NOT locate the thermostat:
Behind doors, in corners or other dead air spaces.
In direct sunlight or near lamps, appliances or other sources of radiant heat.
On an outside wall or wall exposed to an unconditioned space (i.e. garage, etc.).
In the flow path of a supply register, in stairways or near outside doors.
On a wall where concealed pipes and/or duct work will affect the thermostat.
Near sources of electrical interference such as arcing relay contacts.
Remote Temperature Sensors
When choosing a installation location for the remote sensor, follow the guidelines for placement of the
thermostat, and locate the sensor where its operating range (see the ViewStat Color Thermostat
room). See the Installing a Remote Sensor section on page 14 for details.

Onboard temperature sensor
FIG. 10
Onboard temperature sensor
Do not paint or tape over the onboard temperature sensor. Doing so can cause the sensor to work improperly.
The onboard temperature sensor reports any detected temperature between 40° – 99° F
(5° – 37° C). Temperatures outside this range will not display on the thermostat screen. In this case, the temperature reading appears blank.
You can install an additional remote sensor to get a temperature reading from a location away from the thermostat. If you install a remote sensor, you can use the temperature reading as the main reported temperature, or you can use the temperature reading with the reading from the onboard sensor to report an average temperature for the zone. The ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostat supports only one installed remote sensor. The sensor connects to the S1 or S2 terminal on the ViewStat. See the
Communication and Equipment Terminal Wiring Definitions section on page 7 for more information on
the terminals on the thermostat.
You can install the indoor/outdoor temperature sensor that ships with the unit, or you can install an indoor flush mount sensor (FG2050-21), available for purchase separately. You can use either sensor with the thermostat, but not both at the same time, as the thermostat supports only one external sensor.
Refer to the ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostat User Guide for information on enabling or disabling each sensor.
Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Remote Sensor
the outdoor temperature that the sensor reports back to the thermostat. You can also install this sensor indoors for an extra indoor temperature reading. You can use the indoor reading with the reading from the on-board temperature sensor on the thermostat to report an average indoor temperature.
14 ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostat Operation/Reference Guide
Installation and Wiring
The sensor has a 1" head that protrudes from the wall and a connected wire that plugs into a port on the thermostat. You can use a maximum of 300 ft (91.44 m) of wire for connecting the indoor/outdoor remote sensor to the thermostat.

AxLink Levels
Each AXLink device contains 8 levels numbered 1-8. Levels are a means of applying a value to a physical element on the device.
When a device is online for the first time, the Master assumes the device is at the default level status with all levels set to 0. However, the thermostat may not be in this default state and needs to tell the Master the value of any non-zero level. After a 'LEVON' command is received from the Master, the thermostat sends a level update for any levels that are non-zero.
If the level represents a temperature, then the level value is equivalent to the degree reading plus 120.
The temperature reading is reported in the set temperature scale, F or C. For example, if the temperature scale is F and the temperature reading is -10 then the level value would be 110. If the temperature scale is C and the temperature reading is 25 then the level value would be 145.
If the level represents a humidity reading, then the level value is equivalent to the humidity reading. The valid range of a level associated with a humidity reading is 0-100. Therefore, levels with values between
0-100 are valid representing humidity readings of 0% to 100%, and level values from 101-255 are invalid.
In the Level table below, Type column denotes who initiates the level change. The Master directs the thermostat to change its state through Level of type CMD. The thermostat informs the Master of state changes through Levels of type FDBK.

Weather Duet Module
A weather Duet Module communicates with the AMX i!-Weather internet service to gather the current forecast. The Duet Module retrieves current weather conditions and forecasts from the AMX i!-Weather service and displays the current weather information on the thermostat.
With each thermostat, you receive a certificate for a three-year subscription to the i!-Weather service.
While you receive one subscription service per thermostat, you only need to use one subscription per
Master, even if you have multiple thermostats connected to the Master.
Subscriptions are not stackable. If you are using multiple thermostats on a single Master, you cannot use the subscription on one of the additional thermostats once the subscription on the first thermostat expires.
Follow these steps to download, install, and configure the Weather Duet Module.
