Installation & Operation Instructions
PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT RUN THE WIRING IN ANY CONDUIT
WITH LINE VOLTAGE (24/120/230 VAC).
GENERAL INFORMATION
The outside air sensor is a single point temperature
sensor that is designed for use with electronic
controllers in commercial heating and cooling
building management systems. It is available with
multiple thermistor or RTD options.
For optimal temperature readings, follow these
tips:
• Avoid mounting to chimney walls, above windows,
above vents, near doors, or dampers.
• Mount at least 1'-2' (0.3-0.6 m) below eave to
prevent thermal
performance – see FIGURE 2 (p. 2).
• Mount at least 4' (1.22 m) above ground to prevent
thermal radiation
performance.
• Mount in shade on North side of the structure to
minimize sun exposure.
hemisphere the South side of the building is
where the sensor should be mounted.
• The plastic tube that houses the sensor must be
pointed down to avoid debris, water, or ice
potentially a ecting sensor performance.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Attach the base directly to the wall. Mounting
holes are located at the corners of the housing –
see FIGURE 1 (right). Drill pilot holes for the
mounting screws. Use the enclosure mounting
holes as a guide, or use the dimensions listed
below to measure out. Install the PG11 watertight
fitting supplied with the sensor if not using
conduit. The outer knockout ring (PG 11/16) on
housing should not be removed when using a ½"
NPT conduit fitting.
