This indoor sensor is designed to sense temperature
at a remote location and send this information to the
compatible Honeywell Home thermostat. This sensor
can be used as a stand alone sensor or as part of an
averaging network. The thermostat's installer setup
should be modified to tell the thermostat that remote
indoor temperature sensor(s) have been used. If
multiple wired indoor sensors are used, those sensors
are averaged and must be wired as shown in Fig. 6.
Fig. 1. C7189U Remote Indoor Sensor
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.

Remote Sensor Wallplate Installation
Remove the cover from the remote sensor as shown in Fig.3.
1. Pull wires through wire hole.
2. Position wallplate on wall, level and mark screw hole positions with pencil.
3. Drill holes at marked positions, then tap in supplied wall anchors.
4. Place wallplate over anchors, insert and tighten mounting screws. See Fig. 4.

WIRING
The sensor can be used to provide one remote sensor (see Fig. 5) or as a temperature averaging network with
multiple sensors connected (see Fig. 6).
ELECTRICAL HAZARD.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect power before wiring.
1. Run the wire cable from the thermostat to the
remote sensor location.
2. If the thermostat or EIM uses screw terminals,
loosen screw terminals, insert wires into
terminal block (polarity does not matter), then
retighten screws. If thermostat has push
terminals, push the ends of the sensor wires into
the sensor terminals on the thermostat subbase.
3. Push excess wire back into the wall opening.
4. Plug the wall opening with non-flammable
insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the
sensor operation and replace the cover on the
remote sensor.
5. Connect the two wires to the thermostat's
remote sensor terminals (polarity does not
matter) and replace the thermostat back onto
the wallplate. See Fig. 5.

OPERATION
Once a remote indoor temperature sensor is
connected to the thermostat, the thermostat's sensor
is no longer used. The thermostat's installer setup
should be modified to tell the thermostat that remote
indoor temperature sensor(s) have been used. The
Inside temperature reading on the thermostat's
display will be the remote sensor(s) temperature
location(s). See Fig. 7.
.

Series Thermostat.
CHECKOUT
For best results, allow the sensor to absorb the air
moving through the room for a minimum of twenty
minutes before taking a resistance measurement.
1. Use an accurate thermometer (+/-1°F[0.5°C])
measure the temperature at the sensor location.
2. Remove one wire from one of the sensor's wiring
terminals. Use an ohmmeter to measure the
resistance across the sensor. Verify the sensor
accuracy with the temperature/resistance in
Tab le 1.
CALIBRATION
The sensor is calibrated at the factory and cannot be
recalibrated in the field.
