Remote Temperature Sensors. Your thermostat is fitted with an accurate and reliable temperature sensor used to measure the room temperature. There may be occasions where the thermostat cannot be placed in an ideal location for accurate space temperature measurement; therefore the installer may have fitted “remote temperature sensor(s)”. These sensors will then report the space temperature from the remote temperature location. This temperature will be displayed on the LCD and used to control your heating and cooling system. If your thermostats is used in a commercial location, your room temperature sensor may be fitted with a button which activates the afterhours run function. 32 | P a g e ...
