Model 23A00-2 Flush Remote Temperature Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The Model 23A00-2 is a flush mount temperature sensor that can be installed on an Omnistat2 thermostat to monitor the temperature
of a remote location, can be combined with the onboard temperature sensor for the average temperature of two locations, or can be
used to monitor the outdoor temperature for dual fuel heat pump installations.
When used indoors, the remote sensor allows a customer to monitor the temperature of an area without having a visible thermostat.
The thermostat, or group of thermostats, could be in a different location offering the customer complete control of temperatures.
INSTALLATION
1.
Install Omnistat2 base in selected thermostat location and connect to heating/cooling equipment per manufacturer’s instructions.
2.
Connect thermostat to base and confirm that everything operates correctly. Disconnect the thermostat from the base.
3.
In selecting a place to mount the Remote Temperature Sensor, be sure to avoid an area where studs, plumbing, or electrical wiring
may be located behind the wallboard. Hold the base of the plastic case against the wall. Trace around the perimeter of the plastic
case with a pencil. Carefully cut along the pencil line. DO NOT OVERSIZE THIS CUT-OUT!
4.
Run a twisted pair, shielded cable from the Omnistat to the Remote Temperature Sensor location. For distances up to 100 feet,
typical twisted pair, PVC-insulated, shielded cable may be used. For distances from 100-150 feet, twisted pair with
polypropylene insulated conductors, shielded must be used. For distances from 150-250 feet, twisted pair with foam-polyethylene
insulated conductors, shielded must be used. Wire runs must not exceed 250 feet.
5.
Connect the data wires of the shielded cable to the green data wires of the temperature sensor using the supplied wire splices.
Wrap the shield around the jacket of the cable and tape.
6.
Insert the Remote Temperature Sensor base into the cutout in the wall.
