Locate the sensor:
•
According to design specifications and local
regulations.
•
Where the air circulates around it freely (not
in recessed areas or behind doors).
•
Allowing a minimum of four inches (10 cm)
free space above and below for proper
airflow, the front cover removal tool, and the
computer communication cable.
•
Away from drafts caused by doors, windows,
outside walls, air registers, pipes, return air
plenums, etc.
•
Away from heat sources such as strong
lights, fireplaces, direct sunlight, etc.
•
On an inside wall (preferably), about five
feet (1.5 m) above the finished floor.
While not recommended, if you need to mount the
sensor on exterior brick or cement-type walls, see
