Mounting Location; To Wire And Mount The Sensor - Carrier SPS Installation Manual

Mounting location

Mount the sensor:
•
In an area representing the average temperature in the space
•
On an interior wall
•
Approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the floor, or as required by local code
•
At least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from any corner
•
At least 2 feet (.6 meter) from an open doorway
Do not mount the sensor:

In drafty locations such as near air conditioning or heating ducts, or near open windows
•
Over heat sources such as baseboard heaters, radiators, directly above wall-mounted lighting dimmers,
or in direct sunlight
NOTE The sensor mounting plate accommodates the NEMA standard 4x2-in. electrical box. However, the
sensor can be mounted directly on the wall surface if local codes permit.
