INSTEON™ Thermostat Adapter, Totaline™ / Venstar™
Model: #2441V
INSTEON Thermostat Adapter
Introduction
The INSTEON Thermostat Adapter adds remote control and monitoring to 3
compatible models of TotalineTM / VenstarTM brand thermostats. It simply
plugs into the bottom of compatible thermostats and communicates via
INSTEON RF giving you wireless remote control and monitoring from
anywhere in your home, or the world.
The 3 compatible models are:
1-Day Programmable Venstar Thermostat (30410A)
7-Day Programmable Venstar Thermostat (30411A)
7-Day Programmable, Dual-Fuel Venstar Thermostat (30412A)
Note: To use the above mentioned thermostats, make sure your install
location’s wiring has 5 wires or check with a local installer.
Installation
1) Simply plug the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter into the jack on the bottom of your thermostat
Green LED will turn on
Un-Install
1) Open the front cover of the thermostat by gently pulling the right edge of the cover towards you
2) While pressing firmly on the small round button (center, bottom of thermostat) pull down gently on the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter
INSTEON Thermostat Adapter will disconnect from the thermostat
Adding your Thermostat Adapter to a Scene on an INSTEON Compatible Controller
For example, let’s say you would like to remotely control your thermostat to 73 degrees, heat mode from the comfort and convenience of your couch,
using the Scene A button on your RemoteLinc (If you want to use another INSTEON Compatible Controller, see its user manual)
Note: Linking your Adapter to a scene allows your thermostat to go to a chosen setting.
Here, you will link your Scene A button to “recall” both the setpoints and mode of the thermostat.
1) Tap the mode button on your thermostat until the mode indicated is heat
2) Tap the up and/or down arrows on your thermostat until the temperature set point is 73 degrees
3) Press & hold the top of the Scene A button on your RemoteLinc (for about 10 seconds) until it beeps
LED will start blinking (Press & hold for 10 seconds works for just about every INSTEON-compatible Controller;
please check the controller’s owner’s manual if you need help)
4) Press & hold the button on the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter (for about 5 seconds)
LCD display on your thermostat will briefly display all its characters, then return to normal
INSTEON Adapter’s LED will blink off faintly, then return to steady on
RemoteLinc will beep and its LED will stop blinking
5) Tap the mode button on your thermostat (this will temporarily change the operating mode to allow you to test your remote control)
Your thermostat’s mode will change to cool
6) Now to test your new link, tap the Scene A (up arrow) on your RemoteLinc
Your thermostat should return to heat mode with a 73-degree set point
7) Repeat steps 1 through 6 for as many scenes and setpoints on your INSTEON-Compatible Controller as you wish.
Note: Sending an Off command will not change the mode or setpoints of the thermostat. These commands are ignored to minimize unintended results.
Note: Different set points can be linked to different buttons should you need more flexibility.

Advanced Operations
Using software, you will be able to integrate the automation of your thermostat with the wide array of INSTEON compatible products saving you
time and energy. For example, applications can include having an email sent to you if the temperature goes above or below any chosen set points,
have a “goodbye” scene automatically set back your thermostat, etc. – the applications are almost endless. Check with your favorite INSTEON
Compatible Software for their latest support for this product.

Make sure your Heater/Air Conditioner is working
properly before beginning installation of the
thermostat.
Carefully unpack the thermostat. Save the screws,
bracket, and instructions.
Turn off the power to the Heating/Air Conditioning
system at the main fuse panel. Most residential
systems have a separate breaker for disconnecting
power to the furnace.
Proper installation of the thermostat will be
accomplished by following these step by step
instructions. If you are unsure about any of these
steps, call a qualified technician for assistance.

For additional flexibility, your thermostat has three configurable
outputs. These outputs are designed to have different functions
depending on how the jumpers are set (below).
Each output, labeled MISC1, MISC2, and MISC3 may be set for one
of the five choices available.
In the diagram below, the MISC3 jumper has been set for HUM*
(humidification) operation, the MISC2 jumper has been set for
DEHUM* (dehumidification) operation, and the MISC1 jumper has
been set for W3 (3rd stage of heat) operation.

The 3rd Stage of Heat is turned on when:
(A) The 1st and 2nd stages have been on for the time required (steps #22
and #23, page 13.6). It is adjustable from 0-60 minutes and the default
is two minutes.
(B) The temperature from the setpoint is equal to or greater than: the set-
point plus the 1st stage deadband (step #19, 13.5), plus the 2nd stage
deadband (step #20, 13.5) plus the 3rd stage deadband (step #21,
13.5). This 3rd stage deadband is adjustable from 0-10 degrees and
the default is two degrees.
W3 JUMPER SETTING
If the jumper for MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 is set to W3, the corresponding MISC screw
terminal on the backplate will control a third stage of heat.

If the jumper for MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 is set to HUM,
terminal on the backplate will control a humidification system.
the corresponding MISC screw
If your HVAC unit is equipped with a humidification system and the
Humidity Module (sold separately) has been installed, the thermostat will
provide power to the MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 terminal of the thermostat
when the humidity in the home falls below the humidity setpoint you have
chosen. The value for this setpoint ranges from 0% to 60%. If no
humidity is desired or if a humidification system has not been installed, set
the value to OFF.

DEHUM JUMPER SETTING
Explanation of Jumper Settings (continued)
If the jumper for MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 is set to DEHUM,
terminal on the backplate will be connected to the dehumidification terminal of a furnace board.
NOTE: Not all furnaces have a dehumidification terminal.
the corresponding MISC screw
DEHUMIDIFICATION OPERATION - SECTION 10 of the Owner’s Manual
If your HVAC unit is equipped with a dehumidification system the thermostat will
operate in one of two ways.
1) Normally Closed (NC): The thermostat will de-energize the MISC1, MISC2,
or MISC3 terminal of the thermostat (this MISC terminal is connected to the
DEHUM terminal on your furnace) to allow the fan to run in low speed when
the humidity in the home is above the dehumidify setpoint you have chosen
and there is a call for 1st stage cooling.
2) Normally Open (NO): The thermostat will energize the MISC1, MISC2, or
MISC3 terminal of the thermostat (this MISC terminal is connected to the
DEHUM terminal on your furnace) to allow the fan to run in low speed when
the humidity in the home is above the dehumidify setpoint you have chosen
and there is a call for 1st stage cooling.

page 13.6). It is adjustable from 0-60 minutes and the default
is two minutes.
(B) The temperature spread from the setpoint is equal to or greater
than: the setpoint plus the deadband (step #20, page 13.5), plus
the 2nd deadband (step #20, page 13.5). This 2nd deadband is
adjustable from 0-10 degrees and the default is two degrees.
