ENGLISH 1. Temperature controller 'VMB1TC' connection Connection Battery backup To avoid losing the clock when a power failure occurs, a backup battery (3V Lithium CR2032) can be installed in the battery holder at the back of the module. To avoid premature depletion of the battery, only install it when permanent power is supplied to the Velbus system. 9 9 Place the TERM jumper if the module is connected at the start or end of a cable on the Velbus. Remove the jumper in all other cases.

ENGLISH 3. Address selection In order to identify each module in your system it is necessary to set an unique address for each module. This address will also be used by the PC software to scan all the addresses and to identify the modules. 0 VMB1TSW / VMB1TCW 1 Adress setting trough Velbuslink© VMB1TS : ADDRESS SETTING USING THE 2 ADDR ROTARY SWITCHES. CAUTION: Addresses 81,91,A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1 & FF can NOT be used. Examples of valid addresses: 01, 02, 03….
ENGLISH 4. Assign a relay channel to a temperature sensor function (can also be performed using PC, advised) Only available for VMB1TS On the sensor module: Set the sensor module in anti-freeze mode by pressing the push button on the front panel repeatedly until all LED’s are off. Mode First remember the address of the module to reinstate it later on. Set the Address rotary switches to 'C1', 'C2', 'C3, or 'C4', depending on the chosen channel.
