(6) OPTIONAL – INSTALL AN APRILAIRE MODEL 8052 OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Note: If an AHC is to be installed, do not wire
an outdoor temperature sensor– see Step 7.
The AHC uses its own outdoor temperature
sensor, which can be read by the thermostat.
1. Mount the outdoor temperature sensor
(see Figure 6 ).
• Locate on the North side of the building if
possible. East and West are acceptable
locations as long as the sensor will not be
exposed to direct sunlight.
• Mount above anticipated snow line.
• Mount at least 3 feet away from exhaust
vents and condensing units.
• Maximum wire length from sensor to
thermostat is 300 feet.
• Under a soffit or under a wall overhang are
recommended areas for mounting the sensor.
• Follow any additional location requirements
found on sensor installation instructions.
