(6) OPTIONAL – INSTALL AN APRILAIRE MODEL 8052 OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Note: If an AHC is to be installed, do not wire an outdoor temperature sensor– see Step 7. The AHC uses its own outdoor temperature sensor, which can be read by the thermostat.
1.Mount the outdoor temperature sensor (see Figure 6).
•Locate on the North side of the building if possible. East and West are acceptable locations as long as the sensor will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
•Mount above anticipated snow line.
•Mount at least 3 feet away from exhaust vents and condensing units.
•Maximum wire length from sensor to thermostat is 300 feet.
•Under a soffit or under a wall overhang are recommended areas for mounting the sensor.
•Follow any additional location requirements found on sensor installation instructions.
