Mounting the SMT‐770 thermostat.
The SMT‐770 can only be as accurate as the onboard temperature sensor, or its
optional remote temperature sensor(s) permit. It is therefore essential that the SMT‐
770 be installed in a location that is typical of the ambient room temperature. Do not
install the thermostat in a draft, near a floor, behind doors or on a non‐insulated
external wall. Also avoid placing the thermostat in areas where the air movement is
limited, affected by direct sunlight or other areas not "typical" of the temperature of
the room.
Further, when mounting the SMT‐770 be aware that drafts
may travel down the inside of cavity walls, (especially if
mounted on external walls) and enter the back of
the thermostat or sensor enclosure through the
cable entry holes in the wall. It is important to fully
seal these holes to prevent any drafts affecting the
internally
mounted
temperature
sensor.
It
is
recommended to mount the SMT‐770 or remote sensors
between 1.5 & 1.7 metres from the floor where possible.
Move the control wires through the large opening in the thermostat base plate then
place the thermostat base on the wall and using appropriate screws, firmly attach the
thermostat base to the wall. Block any holes where cables enter the back of the
thermostat to prevent drafts entering through these holes affecting the sensor.
