T775A/B/M SERIES 2000 CONTROLLER WIRING
62-0254–03 4
Wiring Connections Access
To access the wiring connections, remove the two screws 
on the left side of the enclosure and gently swing open the 
top. Be careful to not stress the ribbon cables that 
connect the keypad and LCD display to the controller 
circuit board.
Temperature Sensor Wiring
CAUTION
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 T775 controller must be wired to its own 
sensor(s). 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.
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 10 for 
wire size selection where cable runs are longer than 25 
feet.

NOTE: SHIELDED CABLE MUST BE 
            CONNECTED TO AN EARTH 
            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.
