INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
Location and Mounting (Fig. 1)
Mount the sensor where:
• cannot tamper with settings.
• there is good air circulation.
• it can measure true outdoor ambient temperature.
• surface is flat.
• wire distance between C7089 and thermostat is less
than 200 feet.
Do not mount the sensor:
• in direct sunlight.
• where hot or cold air blows on the sensor. Discharge
line from an outdoor compressor unit, vent or fan
causes inaccurate temperature readings.
• where snow, ice or debris can cover it.
Use the following steps to mount the sensor:
1. Remove the sensor from the mounting clip.
2. Mark the area on the location selected for
mounting the sensor mounting clip.
3. Mount the clip.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment
damage.
Disconnect power supply before connecting
wiring.

Wiring
CAUTION
Electrical Interference (Noise) Hazard.
Can cause erratic system operation.
Keep wiring at least one foot away from large
inductive loads such as motors, line starters,
lighting ballasts and large power distribution
panels.
Use shielded cable to reduce interference when
rerouting is not possible.
IMPORTANT
Erratic temperature readings from a sensor can
occur as a result of any of the wiring practices
described below. Avoid these practices to
assure correct operation. Use shielded cable to
reduce interference if rerouting of sensor wiring
is not possible.
— Be sure wires have a cable separate from the
thermostat cable.
— Do not route temperature sensor wiring with
building power wiring, next to control contactors
or near light dimming circuits, electric motors or
welding equipment.
— Avoid poor wiring connections.
— Avoid intermittent or missing building earth
ground.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment
damage.
Disconnect power supply before connecting
wiring.
Wiring must comply with applicable codes, ordinances
and regulations:
1. Wire the C7089 Outdoor Sensor to S1 and S2
terminals on the thermostat. If leadwire provided
with C7089 is not long enough (60 in.), run a cable
to a hole at C7089 location.
a. Using color-coded, 18-gauge thermostat wire is
recommended. For example of general wiring
of C7089, see Fig. 2.
b. Pigtail wiring can be used.
2. Mount C7089 in its mounting clip.
3. Plug wiring hole using nonhardening caulk or putty.

The C7089 Outdoor Sensor converts outdoor ambient
temperature to a resistance that the thermostat can
interpret.
The C7089 has a negative temperature coefficient (TC), which
means that resistance decreases as
the temperature increases. See Table 1.
CHECKOUT
Allow C7089B Outdoor Sensor to absorb outdoor air for a
minimum of twenty minutes before taking a reading.
With an accurate thermometer (±1°F [0.5°C]) measure
the temperature at the sensor location, allowing time for
the thermometer to stabilize before reading.
To verify sensor resistance, remove one wire from one of
the C7089 60-in. leadwires. Use an ohmmeter to
measure the resistance across the sensor. Then verify
the sensor accuracy with the temperature/resistance in
Table 1.
CALIBRATION
The C7089 Outdoor Sensor is calibrated at the factory and cannot be recalibrated in the field.
