Note: The temperature sensor (thermistor) is built into the
sensor enclosure.
Remove the screw and pull the front cover off the
enclosure.
The sensor can either be mounted directly onto a
wall or a 2” x 4” electrical box. When the senor is wall
mounted, the wiring should enter through the back
or bottom of the enclosure. Do not mount the sensor
with the conduit knockout facing upwards as rain could
enter the enclosure and damage the sensor.

•
In order to prevent heat transmitted through the wall
from affecting the sensor reading, it may be necessary
to install an insulating barrier behind the enclosure.
The Outdoor Sensor should be mounted on a wall
which best represents the heat load on the building (a
northern wall for most buildings and a southern facing
wall for buildings with large south facing glass areas).
The sensor should not be exposed to heat sources
such as ventilation or window openings.
The sensor should be installed at an elevation above
the ground that will prevent accidental damage or
tampering.
