5.7 Setting up an external temperature sensor
You can connect one external temperature sensor. It measures the indoor or
outdoor ambient temperature. We recommend to use an external temperature
sensor in the following cases:
Indoor ambient temperature
▪ In room thermostat control, the user interface used as room thermostat
(EKRUDAS) measures the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, the user
interface used as room thermostat must be installed on a location:
- Where the average temperature in the room can be detected
- That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
- That is NOT near a heat source
- That is NOT affected by outside air or air draught because of, for example, door
opening/closing
▪ If this is NOT possible, we recommend to connect a remote indoor sensor (option
KRCS01-1).
▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of the remote
indoor sensor, and the addendum book for optional equipment.
▪ Configuration: Select room sensor [9.B].
Outdoor ambient temperature
▪ In the outdoor unit, the outdoor ambient temperature is measured. Therefore,
the outdoor unit must be installed on a location:
- At the north side of the house or at the side of the house where the most heat
emitters are located
- That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
▪ If this is NOT possible, we recommend to connect a remote outdoor sensor
(option EKRSCA1).
▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of the remote
outdoor sensor, and the addendum book for optional equipment.
▪ Configuration: Select outdoor sensor [9.B].
▪ When the power saving functionality of the outdoor unit is active, the outdoor
unit is turned down to reduce standby energy losses. As a result, the outdoor
ambient temperature is NOT read out.
