Note: The Supply Air Temperature Sensor Always
Wires To The AI2 Input On The VCM-X E-BUS
Controller. It Never Wires To The MODGAS Or MHGRV
Controllers As It Did The Previous VCM Product.

Supply Air & Return Air Temperature
Sensor
The OE231 Supply Air & Return Air Temperature Sensors must be
wired as shown in Figure 11 below for proper operation. The Supply
Air & Return Air Temperature Sensors are 10K Type III thermistor
sensors. The Supply Air Temperature Sensor should be mounted in the
unit discharge plenum or in the supply air duct. The Return Air Tem-
perature Sensor should be mounted in the return air duct. If the system
has a Zoning Bypass Damper installed, be sure the return air sensor is
located upstream of the bypass duct connection.
NOTE: Previously, if your AAON
®
HVAC unit used the AAON
®
MODGAS Controller and/or the AAON
®
MHGRV Controller, the
Supply Air Sensor had to be wired to one of these controllers. This
is no longer the case. The Supply Air Temperature Sensor must
always be connected to the VCM-X E-BUS Controller unless you are
using the AAON
®
MODGAS and/or AAON
®
MHGRV Controllers
as stand-alone.
