Installation
- Location
Careful consideration of the following recommendations will
help to insure that the outdoor sensor provides accurate
readings:
1. Mount the outdoor sensor on the north facing side of the
building in an area where it is exposed to freely circulat-
ing airflow and out of direct sunlight.
2. Do not allow hot air from the attic or drafts from inside
exterior walls to bias the sensor's operation. Always seal
the hole where sensor's wiring passes to the outside of
the structure. Use non-hardening caulk, putty, or
insulation.
3. Avoid locations such as near dryer vents or close to, or
directly above, the outdoor unit where it would be
exposed to hot discharge air from the condenser fan.
4. Install the sensor a minimum of 12 inches above normal
expected snow accumulation.

2. Separate the control from the mounting base. Route
sensor wires through the large hole in mounting base.
3. Adjust length and routing of the sensor wires to reach
the roper terminals on the connector block on mounting
base. Strip only 1/4-in. of insulation from each wire to
prevent adjacent wires from shorting together when
connected.
4. Connect the sensor's wires to the proper terminals on
the connector block.
5. Push any excess wire back into the wall and
seal the
hole to prevent air leaks
.
Note:
Air leaks in the wall behind the control can cause improper
operation.
Control setup and checkout
1. Reinstall the control on its mounting base.
2. Turn ON power to the furnace or air handler.
3. Enter the Comfort Control's Installer Setup mode and
enable the Outdoor Temperature for display only or
for display and control. See the control's installation/
setup instructions for details.
4. After setup is complete, verify that the sensor and
control are operating properly. The outdoor tempera-
ture should display with no service icon present.
