To wire and mount the SAT sensor
1 Drill or punch a .5 inch (1.3 cm) hole in the duct.
2 Insert the sensor's probe into the hole.
3 Secure the sensor to the duct using the 2 mounting screws provided.
CAUTION The tip of the sensor's 6-inch (15.2-cm) probe must not touch the inside of the duct. Use field-
supplied bushings as spacers when installing the sensor probe in a duct 6 inches (15.2 cm) or less in
diameter.
4 Wire the sensor to the Open controller. See the controller's Installation and Startup Guide for details.
