WARNING
Take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic
discharges to each sensor when installing, servicing
or operating the controller. Discharge accumulated
static electricity by touching one's hand to a securely
grounded object before working with each
controller.
NOTE
Mounting hardware is provided for both junction box
and drywall installation.
NOTE
In wall-mount applications, the wall temperature and
the temperature of the air within the wall cavity can
cause erroneous readings. The mixing of room air and
air from within the wall cavity can lead to
condensation, erroneous readings and premature
failure of the sensor. To prevent these conditions, do
the following for the mounting method used:
• Junction box - seal the conduit leading to the
electrical box
• Drywall - ensure that the foam insulating pad on
the back of the enclosure covers the hole in the
wall.
