2.11.1 Outdoor Air & Air Sensor Common
An outdoor temperature sensor (P/N 61047) is required for the INDOOR/OUTDOOR RESET
mode of operation. It can also be used with another mode if it is desired to use the outdoor
sensor enable/disable feature, which allows the boiler to be enabled or disabled based on the
outdoor air temperature.
The factory default for the outdoor sensor is DISABLED. To enable the sensor and/or select an
enable/disable outdoor temperature, see Section 2.6: CONFIGURATION Menu, item 7, in the
Benchmark 5000 – 6000 Operation and Maintenance Guide, OMM-0124 (GF-208).
The outdoor sensor may be wired up to 200 feet (61m) from the boiler. It is connected to the
OUTDOOR AIR and AIR SENSOR COMMON terminals of the I/O board (Figure 2-14). Wire the
sensor using a twisted shielded pair wire from 18 to 22 AWG. There is no polarity to observe
when terminating these wires. The shield is to be connected only to the terminals labeled
SHIELD in the I/O Box PCB. The sensor end of the shield must be left free and ungrounded.
When mounting the sensor, it must be located on the North side of the building where an
average outside air temperature is expected. The sensor must be shielded from direct sunlight
as well as impingement by the elements. If a shield is used, it must allow for free air circulation.
