INSTALLATION

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (INCLUDED)

Outdoor temperature can be measured by installing an 8052 sensor to the ODT terminals and enabling the outdoor
sensor in the installer set-up menu . When an outdoor sensor is installed, the features below will be enabled .
In heat pump mode the outdoor temperature sensor can be used to efficiently utilize an air source 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 .
OPTIONAL WIRELESS OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR
For installations where it is difficult to wire the included 8052 outdoor temperature sensor, a Model 8056 wireless
outdoor sensor can be used . The Model 8056 module has two radio units, one that is placed on the equipment control
module as shown below, and a second radio that is placed outside . See the Model 8056 Installation Instructions for
detailed directions regarding installation .
