5.6.2 ESH-A Remote Sensor Wiring Connection
Each ESH-A is given the same serial number as the device it is being connected to. Make sure to
connect the ESH-A to the LPT-P that has the same serial number or the system won’t work.
Four-conductor, 16-18 awg stranded shielded cable is required for the ESH-A Remote Sensor wiring.
This wiring should be run in a conduit, separate from the signal output, and should not exceed 61 m
(200 ft). The voltage at the remote sensor (Red V+ to Black GND) should be 24 VDC. If this voltage is
not met after installation, the wrong gauge wire may have been used or the wiring run is too long.
Wiring Example: ESH-A Remote Sensor

The maximum length of wire between the ESH-A Remote Sensor and the LPT-P
transmitter should not exceed 200 ft (61 m).
