Introduction
This document gives configuration, troubleshoot-
ing, and other related information for temperature
sensors using Type III thermistors. For mounting,
wiring, and specifications, see the respective product
installation guide and data sheet
Data Sheet for STE-14xx sensors).

button and LED indicator.

Type III Temperature Sensors
Mounting Considerations
Depending on the application, space temperature
sensors generally should NOT be:
• Mounted on an exterior wall.
• Mounted on or near a large thermal mass (e.g.,
concrete block wall).
• Blocked from normal air circulation by obstruc-
tions.
• Exposed to heat sources (e.g., lights, computers,
copiers, or coffee makers) or to sunlight (at any
time of the day).
• Exposed to drafts from windows, diffusers, or
returns.
• Exposed to air flow through the conduit (from
leaks in plenum ducts)—put plumber's putty,
painter's putty, caulk, or other sealant inside the
conduit to block air flow.
Apply what is relevant to other applications (e.g.,
duct sensor).
Troubleshooting
• Be sure the 10,000 ohm pull-up resistors on the
controller board are selected/turned ON.
• Check wiring. To prevent excessive voltage drop,
use a conductor size that is adequate for the
wiring length!
• Check sensor configuration and tables in the
controller.
• Check voltage from the controller.
• Check that the sensor is mounted correctly. (See
the Mounting Considerations section above.)
