Temperature Sensor Wiring
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can short equipment circuitry.
Make sure that metal tube of sensor does not 
short against T terminals in wall-mounted case.
IMPORTANT
Poor wiring practices can cause erratic readings 
from the sensor. Avoid the following to ensure 
proper operation:
•Do not route the temperature sensor wiring with 
building power wiring.
•Do not locate the temperature sensor wiring 
next to control contactors.
•Do not locate the temperature sensor wiring 
near electrical motors.
•Do not locate the temperature sensor wiring 
near welding equipment.
•Make sure good mechanical connections are 
made to both the sensor and the controller.
•Do not mount the sensor with the lead wire end 
pointing up in an area where condensation 
can occur.
If any of the above conditions cannot be 
avoided, use shielded cable.
NOTE: Each temperature sensor must be wired to a sin-
gle T775 controller. However, a benefit of the 
T775 controller’s accuracy is that there is no 
more than a 2°F differential between any two 
T775 controllers.
Reset Temperature Control
If you are implementing two-sensor reset control, Sensor 
A must always be the controlled temperature and Sensor 
B must always be the controlling temperature. 
For example, in a reset control based on outside 
temperature, Sensor A must be the inside sensor and 
Sensor B must be the outside sensor.
Multiple Parallel Sensors
Multiple sensors can be parallel-series wired to sense 
average temperatures in large spaces. To maintain 
control accuracy, the number of sensors to be parallel-
series wired must be of the n
2
 power (for example, 4, 9, 
16, etc.). See Fig. 3.

Temperature Sensor Wire Type and Size
Temperature sensors use standard AWG 18/2 unshielded 
wire. For cable runs greater than 25 feet or where 
electrical interference may be a problem, shielded cable 
is recommended. See Fig. 4.
Refer to “Temperature Sensor Calibration” on page 8 for 
wire size selection where cable runs are longer than 25 
feet.

            GROUND. 
            HOWEVER,  DO NOT GROUND 
            SHIELDED CABLE AT SENSOR END.
NOTE: TO MINIMIZE NOISE PICKUP, 
  MAKE SENSOR CONNECTION FROM 
  SHIELDED CABLE AS CLOSE AS 
  POSSIBLE TO SENSOR BODY.
