Proper location insures that the remote sensor will provide a comfortable home or building temperature. Observe the follow- ing general rules when selecting a location:
1.The remote sensor can be located a maximum of 300 feet from the thermostat.
2.Locate sensor about 5 ft. above the room floor level.
3.Install sensor on a partitioning wall, not on an outside wall.
4.Never expose sensor to direct light from lamps, sun, fireplaces or any temperature radiating equipment.
5.Avoid locations close to windows, adjoining outside walls, or doors that lead outside.
6.Avoid locations close to air registers or in the direct path of air from them.
7.Make sure there are no pipes or duct work in that part of the wall chosen for the sensor location.
8.Never locate sensor in a room that is normally warmer or cooler than the rest of the home (such as the kitchen) or building.
9.Avoid locations with poor air circulation, such as behind doors or in alcoves.
10.In the home, the living or dining room is normally a good location, provided there is no cooking range or refrigerator on opposite side of wall.
Proper location insures that the remote sensor will provide a correct outdoor temperature reading. Observe the following general rules when selecting a location:
1.The interior mounting base can be located a maximum of 300 feet from the thermostat.
2.Install the interior mounting base within 12 ft. of the intended outdoor probe location.
3.Never install the outdoor probe where it will be exposed to direct light from lamps, sun, fireplaces or any temperature radiating equipment.
4.Make sure there are no pipes or ductwork in the wall chosen for the base location.
5.Outdoor temperature measurement requires installing the probe outdoors. Good probe locations would be under a bay window or overhang, out of direct sunlight. Direct sun exposure will affect sensed temperature. Install probe with spacer to obtain a more accurate temperature.
