Locate Existing Access Hole to Outside | Aprilaire 60 & 62 instruction

STEP 5: Determine Location for Outdoor

Temperature Sensor

The location of the Outdoor TemperatureSensor must meet these three requirements:

1.Must be mounted on North, East or West side of house out of direct sunlight.

2.Must be at least 3 feet from all exhaust vents.

3.Must be above expected snow line (see Figure F).

Incorrect humidity levels will result if these requirements are not met.

STEP 6: Locate Existing Access Hole to Outside

A convenient way to get the Sensor wire outside is to make use of unused wires running to the A/C condensing unit (if applicable). Other ways are to use existing holes for Cable TV lines, telephone lines, A/C lines, etc. Read all equipment instructions beforehand for possible conflicts and warnings.

STEP 7: Alternate Location for Outdoor

Temperature Sensor

WARNING

If Outdoor Temperature Sensor is mounted in an intake duct or pipe, do not set Blower Activation switchto “ON”.

The Sensor can also be mounted in the center of either:

•PVC fresh air intake pipe for the HVAC system

•fresh air intake duct. Mount the sensor with a #8 galvanized screw.

In both cases, the Sensor must be no more than 3 feet from the outside wall. See Figure G.

If it is not feasible to use the Outdoor Temperature Sensor in any of the ways described, the Humidifier Control can be installed for Manual Operation. See “Installing the Humidifier Control for Manual Operation” and Figure J for details.
