OPERATION
Make sure to configure the thermostat or compatible
device for a 10K Ohm wired outdoor sensor. Installer
setup options vary according to thermostat/device
model.
The C7089U Outdoor Sensor converts outdoor
ambient temperature to a resistance that the
thermostat can interpret.
The C7089U has a negative temperature coefficient
(TC), which means that resistance decreases as the
temperature increases. See Table 1.
CHECKOUT
Allow C7089U 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 C7089U 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 C7089U Outdoor Sensor is calibrated at the
factory and cannot be recalibrated in the field.
