• Approximately 5' above floor.
• At least 18" from outside wall.
• Thermostat can be mounted to a vertical junction box.

OUTDOOR TEMpERATURE SENSOR (INClUDED)

Outdoor temperature can be measured by attaching the included 8052 sensor to the S1 and S2 terminals . The
outdoor sensor must be enabled in the installer setup menu .
Heat pump models can use the outdoor temperature to effectively utilize the heat pump:
• When the outdoor temperature is less than the Low Balance Point, the heat pump will be locked out and only
auxiliary heating will be used to provide heating.
• When the outdoor temperature is higher than the High Balance Point, the auxiliary heating will be locked out and
only the heat pump will be used to provide heating .
Indoor Air Quality functions can use the outdoor temperature sensor to:
• Control humidification setpoint based on outdoor temperature to prevent condensation
• Lock out humidification for temperatures over 60°F or below -30°F.
• Lock out ventilation based on high and/or low outdoor temperatures.
• Display outdoor temperature on thermostat.
Outdoor temperature sensor should be mounted:
• On side of building out of direct sunlight (north side recommended).
• Above snow line.
• At least 3' away from exhaust vents and condensing lines.
• Using less than 300' of wire.
• Do not route wires along 120 VAC lines.

REMOTE TEMpERATURE SENSOR (OpTIONAl)

A remote temperature sensor can be used for control if the thermostat is to be mounted in a concealed location
or a remote sensor can be averaged with the thermostat sensor to control a large space . An 8051 flush mount
or 8053 surface mount remote temperature sensor can be attached to the T1 and T2 terminals and mounted in a
recommended area. The remote sensor must be enabled in the installer set-up menu, and once enabled will override
or be averaged with the thermostat's internal temperature sensor, based on the setting.
Remote temperature sensor should be mounted:
• On an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space.
• Approximately 5' above floor.
• At least 18" from outside wall.
• Using less than 300' of wire.
