Outdoor Temperature Sensor - Riello KV/200 20 ISC Solar Installation And Maintenance Manual

Correct positioning of the outside temperature sensor is essential to proper indoor temperature control. The sensor must
be installed outside the building to be heated, about 2/3 of the way up a NORTH or NORTH-WEST facing wall, well clear
of any flues, doors, windows and out of direct sunlight.
Fixing the outdoor temperature sensor to the wall
- Unscrew the protective cover from the sensor, turning it
anti-clockwise, to access the sensor terminals.
- Mark the position of the hole, and drill a 5x25 hole for
the expansion plug.
- Fix the sensor casing to the wall using the expansion
plug provided.
- Insert a two core cable (with cross section between 0.5
and 1 mm , not supplied) to connect the sensor to the
2
boiler.
- Connect the two wires of the cable to the sensor termi-
nals. Polarity is irrelevant.
- Connect the cable from the outdoor temperature sen-
sor to the boiler as instructed in the "ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS" section.
- Screw the protective cover back on the outdoor tem-
perature sensor.
b
Position the sensor on a smooth area of wall. Prepare a smooth contact area for the sensor casing if the wall is made
from exposed brick or other rough material.
b
Avoid joins in the cable between the outside sensor and the control panel. If different cable lengths have to be
joined, make sure that the joins are sealed and adequately protected.
b
If cable ducts are used to route the sensor connection cable, keep these well clear of any power cables (230Vac).
