OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (INCLUDED)
Heat pump models can use the outdoor temperature to effectively utilize the heat pump:
• When the outdoor temperature is less than the Low Balance Point, the heat pump will be locked out and only
auxiliary heating will be used.
• When the outdoor temperature is higher than the High Balance Point, the auxiliary heating will be locked out and
only the heat pump will be used to provide heating.
Indoor Air Quality functions can use the outdoor temperature sensor to:
• Control humidification setpoint based on outdoor temperature to prevent condensation
• Lock out humidification for temperatures over 60°F or below -30°F.
• Lock out ventilation based on high and/or low outdoor temperatures.
• Display outdoor temperature on thermostat.
Outdoor temperature sensor should be mounted:
• On side of building out of direct sunlight (north side recommended).
• Above snow line.
• At least 3’ away from exhaust vents and condensing lines.
• Using less than 300’ of wire.
