Carrier SPS - Mounting Location; To Wire and Mount the Sensor

Alternate space temperature sensor
Carrier Sensors 13
Mounting location
Mount the sensor:
• In an area representing the average temperature in the space
• On an interior wall
• Approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the floor, or as required by local code
• At least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from any corner
• At least 2 feet (.6 meter) from an open doorway
Do not mount the sensor:
• In drafty locations such as near air conditioning or heating ducts, or near open windows
• Over heat sources such as baseboard heaters, radiators, directly above wall-mounted lighting dimmers,
or in direct sunlight
NOTE The sensor mounting plate accommodates the NEMA standard 4x2-in. electrical box. However, the
sensor can be mounted directly on the wall surface if local codes permit.
To wire and mount the sensor
1 Turn the 2 setscrews at the bottom of the sensor clockwise to release the sensor's cover from the
mounting plate.
2 Lift the cover from the bottom, and then release it from the top fasteners.
3 Feed the wires from the electrical box through the opening in the center of the sensor mounting plate.
4 Use the 2 mounting screws provided to attach the mounting plate to the electrical box.
5 Strip the outer jacket from the cable for at least 3 inches (7.62 cm). Strip .25 inch (.6 cm) of insulation
from each wire. Cut the shield and drain wire from the cable.
6 Use the appropriate diagram below to connect the wiring to the sensor's terminals.
7 Reattach the sensor's cover to the mounting plate, inserting the top first.
8 Turn the two Allen screws counterclockwise to secure the cover to the mounting plate.
9 Wire the sensor to the Open controller. See the controller's Installation and Startup Guide for details.
NOTE Clean sensor with damp cloth only. Do not use solvents.
