C7772A-E
Wallplate Temperature Sensor
FEATURES
• Low profile when mounted on industry standard utility
conduit box.
• Rugged, brushed stainless steel wallplate.
• Integral foam pad isolates wallplate sensor from
conduit box.
• Insulated screw terminals ensure reliable field wiring
connection.
• Models available with a variety of resistive temperature
sensor elements.
PRODUCT DATA
APPLICATION
The C7772 series of Wallplate Temperature Sensors are
designed to be used with the Excel 5000 family and other
Honeywell controllers. The C7772 sensors provide a resistive
output signal proportional to sensed room or space
temperature. The C7772 is well suited for low-profile wallmounted applications where durability and tamperproof
construction is desired, such as schools, prisons and
institutions.

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 C7772 Wallplate Temperature 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
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect all power supplies before installation.
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 wall-
plate 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 screw terminals and tighten. See Fig. 2.

OPERATION
The C7772 Wallplate Temperature Sensor provides a resistive
output signal proportional to the sensed room temperature.
CHECKOUT
The C7772 Wallplate Temperature 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 2 to check the accuracy of the specific
model.
