To wire and mount the Outdoor RH sensor
See sensor diagram in To wire and mount the Duct RH sensor (page 57).
1 Use the 2 mounting screws provided to secure the sensor.
2 Remove the cover and install conduit connectors, watertight fittings, and/or 1/2” vent plug.
NOTE The inner ring will knock out first. Then tap the outer ring in 1 or 2 locations with a screwdriver to peel
it out. The cover will be connected to the housing by the sensor leads.
3 At the sensor end of the cable, strip back the jacket from the cable for at least 3 inches. Strip 1/4 inch of
insulation from each conductor. If using shielded cable, cut the shield and drain wire from the cable.
4 Wire the unit for power. See Typical power wiring diagrams for Duct RH and Outdoor RH sensors (page 60).
5 Wire the sensor to the Open controller. See diagrams below and the controller's Installation and Startup
Guide for details.
6 Place the cover onto the unit and gently turn until it is tight.
7 Verify that you are getting a humidity reading.
NOTE Allow up to 20 minutes after powering up for the sensor reading to stabilize.
