About Advanced Features & Operation
OUTDOOR SENSOR (Optional Accessory) - When connected
to terminals RS+5, RS1, & RS GND on the back of the

not control to this sensor, it is only to read outside
temperature.
To read the temperature
press the Outside button.
The display will then only show Outside temperature.
Pressing the Outside button will then return the display
to
normal operation.
The Outdoor sensor is also used by the thermostat to
compare the outside temperature to the indoor
temperature for window condensation control.
The Outdoor Sensor is available in a wired or wireless
version. The wired sensor can be connected to the
thermostat with
up to 500' of 20 ga. or 300' of 18 ga.

thermostat wire.
See the Outdoor Sensor instructions for further details.
ELECTRIC HEAT - Selecting Electric Heat ON, page 13,
step 5, will cause the thermostat to turn on the fan
immediately
any time there is a heat demand.
Since all gas furnaces control the fan, this feature
should be off unless the heater is only electric.
