Home Automation RC-2000 installation instructions Thermostat Up, Remote Temperature Sensor

REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

A remote temperature sensor can be installed to monitor the temperature from a remote location or can be combined with the onboard temperature sensor for the average temperature of two locations.

Run a twisted pair, shielded cable from the RC-2000 to the remote temperature sensor location. For distances up to 100 feet, typical twisted pair, PVC-insulated, shielded cable may be used. For distances from 100-150 feet, twisted pair with polypropylene insulated conductors, shielded must be used. For distances from 150-250 feet, twisted pair with foam-polyethylene insulated conductors, shielded must be used. Wire runs must not exceed 250 feet.

Make the connections to the Green and Black terminals under the section marked “Remote Temp Sensor” on the right terminal strip - See Figure 13.

Notes:

1.When connecting a remote temperature sensor, the shield and one of the wires from the remote temperature sensor are tied together and get connected to the Black terminal – See Figure 13.

2.At the location of the temperature sensor, wrap the shield around the jacket of the cable and tape.

3.Configure the temperature sensor according to the application – See “Temperature Sensors” under Installation Settings.
