C7772A,B,C,D
Wallplate Temperature Sensors
APPLICATION
The C7772A,B,C,D Wallplate Temperature Sensors 
provide a resistive output signal proportional to sensed 
room or space temperature. The sensors are well suited 
for low profile wall mounted applications where durability 
and tamperproof construction is desired, such as 
schools, prisons and institutions.
The C7772A Wallplate Temperature Sensors are 
designed to be used with the Excel 5000 family, XL10, 
XL15, T7350, and other Honeywell controllers.

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.
5. Follow local codes for installation and application.
IMPORTANT
All wiring must agree with applicable codes, 
ordinances and regulations.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage 
Hazard. 
Can shock individuals or short equipment 
circuitry.
Disconnect all power supplies before installation.
Location
The sensor should be located where it can sample an 
average air temperature. Avoid locations where air 
stratification can cause sensing errors. The sensor 
mounts directly on a 2 in. x 4 in. conduit box with the 
screws provided.
Mounting
To mount on conduit box (see Fig. 2):
1. Remove the appropriate knockout on the standard 
utility conduit box for the application.
2. Make wiring connections to the system 
components.
IMPORTANT
Level only for appearance. The sensor 
functions normally even when not level.
3. Use the No. 6 screws provided to mount the wallplate to the conduit box.

CAUTION
Erratic System Operation Hazard. 
Failure to follow proper wiring practices can 
introduce disruptive electrical interference 
(noise).
Keep wiring at least one foot away from large 
inductive loads such as motors, line starters, 
lighting ballasts, and large power distribution 
panels.
Shielded cable is required in installations where 
these guidelines cannot be met.
Ground shield only to grounded controller case.
IMPORTANT
• Temperature sensor wiring can be sized from 
16 to 20 AWG depending on the application.
• The maximum length of wire from a device to 
the wallplate sensor is 300 ft (91m).
NOTE: Erratic temperature readings from a sensor can 
be caused by the wiring practices described 
below. These must be avoided to assure proper 
operation:
1. Do not route temperature sensor wiring with 
building power wiring, next to control 
contactors, near light dimming circuits, 
electric motors or welding equipment.
2. Avoid poor wiring connections.
3. Do not mount sensor in an incorrect
environment.
Connect the low voltage wiring from the controller 
terminals to the sensor wires using wirenut connectors 
(not provided). See Fig. 2.

OPERATION
The sensor provides a resistive output signal proportional 
to the sensed room temperature.
CHECKOUT
The sensor is immediately operational after wiring 
connections are made. Use an accurate thermometer of 
±1°F (0.5°C) to measure the temperature at the sensor 
location. To verify sensor accuracy, use an ohmmeter to 
measure the resistance across the sensor wires and use 
Table 1 to check the accuracy of the specific model.
