Vantage Thermostat Communication Station— MODEL: Q-ETS3 & STHERR101
Overview
The Q-ETS3, WireLink™ and the STHERR101, RadioLink®
thermostat interface stations provide bi-directional
communication between a Vantage control system and the
HVAC system. Any button or time control using
InFusion
Design Center
or
QLink
software can be programmed to
change Setpoints, Operational Mode, Fan mode and
Occupied/Unoccupied settings on a Vantage thermostat.
Current set points, Indoor/Outdoor temperatures, Operational
Mode, Fan mode and Occupied/Unoccupied (status) may be
displayed on Vantage LCD TouchScreens. A Vantage Q-ETS3
or STHERR101 station and a Vantage thermostat are used
together, in a one-to-one ratio, to control HVAC systems.

This is in contrast with the 5 year warranty carried on most
Vantage products.

should not be connected to a 36Volt Station Bus.
Software/Firmware
Vantage’s Q-ETS3 & STHERR101thermostat interface stations
are compatible with InFusion Design Center software and
QLink software. NOTE: The
Q-ETS3
requires QLink version 2.50
and Controller firmware version 5.70 or higher. The
STHERR101
requires QLink version 4.0 - build 310 and Controller firmware
version 7.4 or higher. For new projects it is recommended that
firmware and software be kept to the most current release.
Station Connection
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or
supervised by a
Certified Vantage Installer.
The Q-ETS3
connects to the Vantage System Station Bus with the two
black wires labeled Station Bus. The Station Bus wire should
comply with the Vantage Station Bus wiring specification. The
STHERR101 connects to the Vantage System via a RadioLink™
enabled system.
Mounting the Q-ETS3 or STHERR101
The Q-ETS3 or STHERR101 may be mounted behind the
thermostat in a single gang box or may hang through a 1
¾
”
(4.44cm) hole in the wall. The Black wire X1 and Green wire
X2 attach to terminals labeled X1 & X2 of the thermostat sub
base. The Red wire 24V attaches to the R terminal (screw
terminals on right) of the thermostat sub base along with the
24V power source.
The Q ETS3 or STHERR101 do not supply
power to the thermostat.

and the Global Sensor drop down list. Select the
thermostat that has the external sensor. In
QLink
Select
Use as
the Globally Displayed External Sensor
from the Thermostat
Station properties window. This will broadcast the value of the
external sensor to all other thermostats connected to the
Vantage System. If
Use as the Globally Displayed External
Sensor
is not checked,
other
thermostats on the system will
not display the outdoor temperature.
Occupied (formerly Auto(Day)) and Unoccuped (formerly
(Night)) Modes
Most Thermostat Functions only work when the thermostat is
in Occupied (formerly Auto(Day)) Mode. If the thermostat is in
Unoccupied (formerly Manual(Night)) mode, the thermostat
automatically changes to Occupied when a command is
received. However, it is possible to end any task with a
command to leave the thermostat in Occupied or Unoccupied
modes as desired.
