Mounting, 
Installation and 
Commissioning 
Notes, Continued 

 

Prior to installing the changeover sensor, thermal conductive paste must be applied 
to the location on the pipe where the sensor is placed. 

 

Installation Instructions are included with the controller. 

 

WARNING: 

• 

Sensor inputs 7, 8, and 9 

carry live voltage potential. If the sensor’s 

cables must be extended, the cables used must be suited for live 
voltage. 

 

 

• 

The cables used must meet the insulation requirements for live 
voltage. 

Calibrating the Sensor 

If the room temperature displayed by the controller is inconsistent with the room 
temperature being measured, the temperature sensor of the RDF30U can be 
recalibrated. To recalibrate, change Parameter P09.
