C7089 OUTDOOR SENSOR
3
69-1709EFS
OPERATION
Once installed and the Thermostat Installer Setup
Number 0340 is set to 1 or 2, the outside temperature
can be displayed on the thermostat. See Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. Outside temperature reading on
TH8000 Series Thermostat.
The C7089 Outdoor Sensor converts outdoor ambient
temperature to a resistance that the thermostat can
interpret.
The C7089 has a negative temperature coefficient (TC), which
means that resistance decreases as
the temperature increases. See Table 1.
CHECKOUT
Allow C7089B Outdoor Sensor to absorb outdoor air for a
minimum of twenty minutes before taking a reading.
With an accurate thermometer (±1°F [0.5°C]) measure
the temperature at the sensor location, allowing time for
the thermometer to stabilize before reading.
To verify sensor resistance, remove one wire from one of
the C7089 60-in. leadwires. Use an ohmmeter to
measure the resistance across the sensor. Then verify
the sensor accuracy with the temperature/resistance in
Table 1.
CALIBRATION
The C7089 Outdoor Sensor is calibrated at the factory and can-
not be recalibrated in the field.
