Installing the Remote Sensors
The Remote Sensor measures indoor air temperature and sends this
information to the thermostat; it measures temperature with a range of
32 to 99 F.
The Remote Sensor should be connected to the thermostat using solid
conductor CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 type network communication cable.
This is an unshielded cable with four twisted pairs of 24 gauge solid wire;
DO NOT use stranded cable. The cable length should not exceed 250
feet. If less than 75 feet of cable is required to connect the thermostat to
the Remote Sensor, a three conductor thermostat cable (18-24 gauge)
may be used; this cable is NOT suitable for any length greater than 75
feet.
IMPORTANT: Do no use shielded wire. Do not run sensor wiring in the
same conduit as the 24VAC thermostat wiring. Electrical interference
may cause the sensor to give incorrect temperature readings.
