Remote Temperature Sensor
If recommended mounting guidelines for the thermostat cannot be followed, an indoor remote temperature sensor (LR-TEMP-FLSH) is recommended for proper temperature control. The remote sensor must be enabled through advanced programming via the thermostat. A maximum of one remote temperature sensor can be used per HVAC Controller, which will disable the internal thermostat sensor.
- Wired Flush Mount Sensor: Flush mount on wall, field paintable.
- Wiring: Use 22 AWG (0.5 mm²) twisted, shielded pair wiring. Maximum wire length: 100 ft (30.5 m).
- Mounting: Mount on wall approximately 4 ft to 5 ft (1.2 m to 1.5 m) above the floor.
