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.
