general rules when selecting a location:
1. The remote sensor can be located a maximum of 300 feet 1. The interior mounting base can be located a maximum of
from the thermostat.
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.
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. 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.
4. Make sure there are no pipes or ductwork in the wall
chosen for the base location.
6. Avoid locations close to air registers or in the direct path of
air from them.
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.
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.
Mounting
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.

6. Although connected to the probe wire for outdoor tempera-
ture sensing, the interior mounting base must be placed
indoors. Therefore, the interior mounting base must be
installed near the perimeter of the building, so that the
probe wire can be run through to the outside of the
structure and placed in the selected (shaded) location. The
outdoor probe wire is 12 feet long (and should not be cut
or spliced), so plan the placement of both the probe and
interior mounting base accordingly. Any excess wire may
be coiled or bundled. The probe should be connected to E2
as shown in figure 2.
