Engineering Notes
Place the sensor in a location where the airflow is quiet. Do not place it close to
dampers, registers or duct direction changes.
Figure 2. Sensor Placement.
Use a transformer with safety extra-low voltage (SELV) and separate winding for 100%
ON-time.
Observe all local safety rules and regulations pertaining to sizing and protecting
transformers.
Note the permissible line length to the controller.
