Outdoor Sensor 070
Installation & Operation Manual
The Outdoor Sensor 070 provides accurate measurement of the outdoor air temperature.
Many controls and thermostats can connect to the 070 to measure and display the
outdoor temperature.
Installation - Outdoor Sensor 070
STEP ONE
NOTE: The temperature sensor (thermistor) is built into the 070 enclosure.
• Remove the screw and pull the front cover off the sensor enclosure.
• The 070 can either be mounted directly onto a wall or a 2" x 4" electrical box. When
the 070 is wall mounted, the wiring should enter through the back or bottom of the
enclosure. Do not mount the 070 with the conduit knockout facing upwards as rain
could enter the enclosure and damage the sensor.
• In order to prevent heat transmitted through the wall from affecting the sensor read-
ing, it may be necessary to install an insulating barrier behind the enclosure.
• The 070 should be mounted on a wall which best represents the heat load on the
building (a northern wall for most buildings and a southern facing wall for buildings
with large south facing glass areas). The 070 should not be exposed to heat sources
such as ventilation or window openings.
• The 070 should be installed at an elevation above the ground that will prevent
accidental damage or tampering.

- Page 2 • Connect 18 AWG or similar wire to the two terminals provided in the enclosure and run the wires from the 070 to the control. Do not run the wires parallel to telephone or power cables. If the sensor wires are located in an area with strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), shielded cable or twisted pair should be used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit.
