Please read all instructions before proceeding.
The wireless remote outdoor sensor monitors temperature at a remote outdoor
location and transmits the temperature data wirelessly to the thermostat. The
sensor can be used to view the outdoor temperature or for heat pump systems
requiring the use of balance points. One wireless outdoor remote sensor can
be connected.

Blue LED Indicator
- 1 flash every 30 seconds: Normal operation
- 3 flashes every 30 seconds: Sending sensor data to thermostat
- 1 flash every 2 seconds: Sensor is in pairing mode
- Solid for 60 seconds: Successfully paired remote sensor
Red LED Indicator
- 3 flashes every 30 seconds: Low battery
- 1 flash every 10 seconds: Lost communication with thermostat
NOTE: LED indicators are only visible with the sensor cover off.
IMPORTANT: Before mounting the remote sensor, you should verify there is good
wireless communication in the area you wish to mount it by first pairing it in that
location. If you are having trouble pairing in that location, try moving the remote
sensor to a location closer to the thermostat.

Pairing Remote Sensor
See thermostat Installer Guide for additional information on pairing sensors.
1. Enter the wireless setup mode on the thermostat you wish to pair with the
remote sensor. Proceed until you see the word SENS in the display with a
flashing symbol.
2.
Make sure batteries are properly installed in
the remote sensor and then press and hold
the CONNECT button for 3 seconds.
3. The remote sensor will enter pairing mode
for 60 seconds. During this time the blue
LED will flash once every 2 seconds.
4. The thermostat will display ODS indicating
that the wireless remote outdoor sensor
was successfully paired. The symbol will
stop flashing and the blue LED on the remote
sensor will turn on for 60 seconds.
5. You can repeat this process to pair additional wireless remote sensors or exit
the wireless setup mode on the thermostat.
NOTE: Sensors that have already been paired will appear in the thermostat display
first, with a solid symbol.
A maximum of 1 wireless remote outdoor sensors can be connected.
A maximum of 4 wireless remote sensors total can be connected.

Installation
The outdoor remote sensor should be mounted on an exterior wall, approximately
3 feet from any exhaust fans. For a more accurate temperature reading, mount the
sensor on a wall that does not receive direct sunlight and is above the expected
snow line.
NOTE: Test location by pairing your thermostat before mounting (see section 2).

Installation
1. Place the small bracket against the wall in the desired location and mark
placement of the two mounting holes. Remove bracket and carefully drill
your marked areas with a 3/16” drill bit.
2. If needed, gently tap supplied plastic anchors into the holes in the wall and
fasten the bracket to the wall using the two supplied screws.

WALL
3. Remove the front cover of the remote sensor. Using a small phillips blade
screwdriver, loosen the screw located in the bottom center portion of the
sensor housing. Gently squeeze in the ribbed portion of the sides of the
housing and slide the cover up to remove.
4. Line up the 2 mounting holes on the remote sensor sub-base up with the 2
holes on the wall bracket. Using the remaining 2 screws, mount the sub-base
to the wall bracket.
5. Install the 2 supplied AA lithium batteries into the sensor housing. The blue
and red LED will each flash once to indicate the sensor has powered up
successfully. If the red LED blinks 3 times every 30 seconds the batteries need
to be replaced.
6. Attach cover of remote sensor to the sub-base by sliding the cover on from the
top down. Reinstall the small screw to secure the sensor housing.

Replacing a Thermostat or a Sensor
Replacing a Thermostat – If you are replacing a thermostat that is paired with an
existing wireless sensor, you will need to clear the remote sensor and pair it again
with the newly installed thermostat.
1. Install the new thermostat.
2. On the wireless remote sensor you want to clear, press and hold the CONNECT
button for 10 seconds (see Figure 1) until the red LED turns on solid.
3. Release the CONNECT button and the blue and red LED will each flash once to
indicate the sensor was successfully cleared.
4. Pair the sensor again.
Replacing a Sensor – If you are replacing a wireless remote sensor that is paired
with an existing thermostat, you will need to clear the thermostat’s remote sensor
settings before pairing the new wireless remote sensor.
1. Install the new wireless remote sensor.
2. Thermostat remote sensor settings are cleared in the Installer Settings. Refer to
the Installer Settings section of the thermostat Installer Guide.
3. Once the remote sensor settings are cleared you will need to pair your new
wireless remote sensor. You will also need to pair any other existing wireless
remote sensors that were previously connected.

Communication Loss and Low Battery
Communication Loss – If communication between the remote sensor and ther-
mostat is lost, the red LED on the remote sensor will begin to flash once every 10
seconds. The thermostat display will also indicate which wireless remote sensor
has lost communication. The sensor will attempt to reconnect to the thermostat
several times automatically.
NOTE: To reconnect manually, press and hold the CONNECT button for 3 seconds.
Remote Sensor Low Battery – If the batteries in a wireless remote sensor are low,
the red LED will flash 3 times every 30 seconds. The thermostat display will also
indicate which wireless remote sensor has a low battery. Replace the remote sensor
batteries as soon as possible. Be sure to maintain battery “+” and “-” polarity. Use
only 2 “AA” lithium batteries to maintain operation in most weather conditions.
NOTE: After replacing batteries, allow up to 15 minutes for the wireless connection
to re-establish.
