Installation Instructions 

Document No. 540-149 

September 2, 2008 

 

 

If the cable is non-terminated or if the RJ-11 
was damaged: Cut the cable, leaving about 
three inches (75 mm) on the sensor side of 
the drywall, and attach an RJ-11 connector 
with an RJ-11 crimping tool. On the RJ-11 
connectors, ensure that pin Number 1 
connects to the same wire at each end of 
the cable. See Figure 4. Use the wire nuts 
supplied to connect the fan switch wires or 
cables. 

 

 

CAUTION: 

 

For retrofits: Before cutting the cable, 
make sure it is disconnected from the 
Room Temperature Sensor (RTS) port on 
the controller cable end. 

 

Figure 4.  Terminating the RJ-11 Connector. 

8.  Plug the terminated cable into the RJ-11 

connector on the back of the sensor's printed 
circuit board (PCB). 

9.  Connect the fan switch to the appropriate 

controller leads using the wire nuts supplied. 
Feed the extra cables and/or back through the 
hole in the rubber insulator. 

10.  Snap the sensor front to the sensor base plate 

by first hooking the sensor front to the bottom 
latches, and then pushing the top of the sensor 
front into place until it latches. 

11.  Tighten the sensor front retaining screw. See 

Figure 3.

 

12.  Connect the sensor to the Room Temperature 

Sensor (RTS) port on the controller. Connect the 
fan switch cables (wires) to the appropriate 
controller terminal.

 

The installation is now complete. 

Electrical Box and Rough-in Mounting, 
Typical 

1. 

If a locator is attached to the rough-in device, 
remove the locator by removing the two screws 
and lightly rocking the locator to pull it free. 

2.  Untie the twist tie and pull about three inches 

(75 mm) of the sensor cable(s) into the space. 

3.  If you have a single-sensor electrical box, install 

the electrical box adapter plate. See Figure 5.  

4.  If you have a double-sensor electrical box, install 

the required mounting plate(s). 

5.  If you use a universal adapter kit for a retrofit 

job, install the multi-slotted plate in place of the 
electrical box adapter plate. See Figure 5. 

6.  Pull the cable(s) through the required mounting 

hardware in the order shown. 

7.  Install the two sensor mounting screws provided 

but do not tighten. 

8.  Mount the sensor base plate on the wall, noting 

the "UP" arrow on the stabilizer plate: 

a.  Level the sensor base plate for appearance 

only. 

b.  Tighten the two mounting screws to the 

sensor base plate. 

CAUTION: 

 

Over-tightening may cause the sensor 
base plate to crack or bend. 

7. Continue 

with 

Drywall Mounting (No Rough-in), 

Typical, 

Steps 7 through 13. 

The installation is now complete.
