TSTATCCSEN01 Outdoor Temperature Sensor
Installation Instructions
NOTE: Read the entire instruction manual before starting the installation.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read and follow manufacturer instructions carefully. Follow all local electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installa- tion may damage thermostat sensor.
Recognize safety information. This is the

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
PERFORMING THE INSTALLATION
Once the mounting location has been selected, route the intercon- necting wiring through the building between thermostat and outdoor sensor. The exit point from inside to outside will be the location of the outdoor sensor. The location of the wire nuts will be either inside or outside of wall depending on whether or not a box is used. Allow sufficient wire length for some excess on each end.
IF AN OUTLET BOX IS USED: (See Fig. 1.)
Drill a suitable hole in the building wall at selected sensor location. Route interconnecting wire through building wall. Remove rear knockout from electric box, route wire through box, and attach box to wall with supplied wood screws.
Cut and strip wires to a reasonable length and connect with supplied wire nuts. Polarity is unimportant. Seal wires where they exit building with a suitable exterior caulk. Fasten cover to box with supplied sheet metal screws.

Choose a location for the outdoor sensor after considering the following:
1)A wiring route must be planned between thermostat and location of outdoor sensor, prior to installation.
2)A sensor located in direct sunlight will not read properly while the sun is shining on it.
3)A high location under an eave is ideal because it is protected from sun, weather, and people.
4)The sensor can be mounted directly to a wall using provided screws and standoffs or can be used as a cover for a standard electric outlet box (not supplied).
WIRING SELECTION:
A pair of conductors must be selected to run between mounted sensor and thermostat. Conductors must be rated NEC Class 1. Thermostat and common bell wire have this rating.
MOUNTING TO OUTLET BOX:
A standard electrical box (not included) may be used with the sensor plate as its cover. This provides room inside box for wire nut connection between sensor wires and wiring run to the thermostat.
USING SENSOR PLATE:
Attaching the plate directly to the outside wall simplifies mounting and requires less space, but the wire nut transitions to the thermostat wiring now need to be made within the wall. This may be difficult in some installations.
