The FS-TA1 sensor requires 3-wires for power and communication with a
FS-STAT-32AC(H); as shown in the diagram above. In many situations you will be able to
simply mount the FS-TA1 sensor on a wall and use the provided 10K internal temperature
sensor to detect the temperature at the desired location.
Follow the guide on page 3 for alternate installation options for the FS-TA1 sensor. The
FS-TA1 sensor can be installed at a maximum distance of 500' from a FS-STAT-32AC(H).
A 10K external temperature probe can be connected to the FS-TA1 sensor up to 100' away.
We recommend using a Founten certified external temperature probe. Contact your local
Founten distributor for assistance.

10K Temperature Sensor
For installations where 3-wires already exist or can be run from
a FS-STAT-32AC(H) thermostat to the FS-TA1 sensor. Mount
the FS-TA1 sensor directly on the wall. Connect FS-TA1
sensor’s D, C, and R terminals to matching terminals at
FS-STAT-32AC(H). 500' maximum distance.
Applications:
– Detect temperature inside of an enclosed refrigerator or
freezer.
– Install the FS-TA1 sensor in the conditioned area with the
thermostat placed in a secure, non-visible location.
Remove the internal temperature sensor from the “T” terminal
of the FS-TA1 sensor. Connect the external temperature
probe to the FS-TA1 sensor’s “T” terminal. 100' maximum
distance.
Connect the FS-TA1 sensor’s D, C, and R terminals to
matching terminals of the FS-STAT-32AC(H).
The following wiring options should be used to determine the proper wiring approach for
your application. This guide shows the most common configurations. Contact Founten for
assistance with configurations not shown on this guide.
