Appendix C: Optional Temp Sensor
C-1
The optional temperature sensor can be
mounted outside, but it requires a location
away from the influence of chimneys, air
conditioners, vents, tar roofs, concrete, and
parking lots that can cause abnormal
temperature fluctuations. Usually, a separation
of at least 20 to 30 feet horizontally and eight
feet vertically is required to achieve this.
Locations where air movement is restricted are
also unsatisfactory.
The recommended location for the temperature
sensor is a north eave or northern exposure
away from direct sunlight and above grass.
This location gives extra stability and accuracy
to the sensor because of the added shading,
usually obtained on a northern exposure. There
should be at least one foot between the bottom
of the eave and the top of the temperature
sensor housing for accurate readings, as seen in
Figure 36 .
Due to the nature of the signal cable used to send the temperature information, the maximum
distance between the temperature sensor and the display is 1,000 feet (304.8 meters).

A 4-conductor cable with
shield is used to connect
the temperature sensor to
the display. The cable is
terminated in the green
Phoenix plug in recessed
signal termination jack on
the back of the display.
See
Figure 37 for location
of the jack used for the
temperature signal
connection.
