REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

A remote temperature sensor can be installed to monitor the temperature from a remote location or can be

combined with the onboard temperature sensor for the average temperature of two locations.

Run a twisted pair, shielded cable from the RC-2000 to the remote temperature sensor location. For distances

up to 100 feet, typical twisted pair, PVC-insulated, shielded cable may be used. For distances from 100-150

feet, twisted pair with polypropylene insulated conductors, shielded must be used. For distances from 150-250

feet, twisted pair with foam-polyethylene insulated conductors, shielded must be used. Wire runs must not

exceed 250 feet.

Make the connections to the Green and Black terminals under the section marked “Remote Temp Sensor” on

the right terminal strip - See Figure 13.

Notes:

1. When connecting a remote temperature sensor,

the shield and one of the wires from the remote

temperature sensor are tied together and get connected to the Black terminal – See Figure 13.

2. At the location of the temperature sensor, wrap the shield around the jacket of the cable and tape.

3. Configure the temperature sensor according to the application – See “Temperature Sensors” under

Installation Settings.
