Installation
The CHVI-RTS-1G-N mounts to a round or square electrical box; the CHVI-RTS-1G-SM
mounts to a round or square electrical box or any flat surface.
NOTE:
Ensure the installation location is not close to a heat or humidity source and is
away from direct sunlight, skylights, and windows. Do not place in direct sunlight. The
sensors are suitable for mounting in dry or damp locations as defined by the National
Electrical Code.
NOTE:
Installation next to controls (keypads, touchscreens, etc.) or in shared gang
boxes may affect accuracy.
NOTE:
When mounting to an electrical box, insulate the box to prevent the
temperature of the wall cavity from affecting the temperature reading.
