The tekmar Three Outdoor Sensor Module 081 includes three 10 kΩ thermistors which provide
an accurate measurement of the outdoor temperature. Each sensor has two separate terminals
for wiring. The 081 is designed to be installed in a tekmar Outdoor Sensor 070 enclosure.
This allows for four separate sensors to be combined into a single enclosure that is mounted
on the exterior of the building.
Installation
STEP ONE
The Three Outdoor Sensor Module 081 is designed to mount in the Outdoor Sensor 070
enclosure as shown in the diagram.
• Remove the screw from the center of the
Outdoor Sensor 070 and pull the front
cover off the encloser.
• The 081 is mounted into the Outdoor
Sensor 070 enclosure. Using the two
screws provided, fasten the module
in the top left hand corner of the 070’s
enclosure as indicated in the diagram.

STEP TWO
• Connect 18 AWG or similar wire to the two terminals (S1 and S1) provided on the
module and run the wires from the module to the control. Do not run the wires parallel
to telephone or power cables. If the sensor wires are located in an area with strong
sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), shielded cable or twisted pair should be
used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the
shield wire should be connected to the Com terminal on the control and not to earth
ground.
• Follow the sensor testing instructions on the bottom of this brochure and connect the
wires to the control.
• Repeat the above steps for the second (S2 and S2) and third (S3 and S3) sensors.
• Replace the front cover of the Outdoor Sensor 070 enclosure.
WIRING AND TESTING THE SENSOR
Sensor Testing Instructions
A good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 5,000 k (1 k = 1000) is required to
measure the sensor resistance. In addition to this, the actual temperature must be measured
with either a good quality digital thermometer, or if a thermometer is not available, a second
sensor can be placed alongside the one to be tested and the readings compared.
First measure the temperature using the thermometer and then measure the resistance of
the sensor at the control. The wires from the sensor must not be connected to the control
while the test is performed. Using the chart on the following page, estimate the temperature
measured by the sensor. The sensor and thermometer readings should be close. If the test
meter reads a very high resistance, there may be a broken wire, a poor wiring connection
or a defective sensor. If the resistance is very low, the wiring may be shorted, there may be
moisture in the sensor or the sensor may be defective. To test for a defective sensor, measure
the resistance directly at the sensor location.
Do not apply voltage to a sensor at any time as damage to the sensor may result.

Limited Warranty and Product Return Procedure
Limited Warranty The liability of tekmar under this warranty is limited. The Purchaser, by taking receipt of
any tekmar product (“Product”), acknowledges the terms of the Limited Warranty in effect at the time of

The tekmar Limited Warranty to the Purchaser on the Products sold hereunder is a manufacturer’s passthrough warranty which the Purchaser is authorized to pass through to its customers. Under the Limited
Warranty, each tekmar Product is warranted against defects in workmanship and materials if the Product
is installed and used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The passthrough warranty period is for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the production date if the Product is
not installed during that period, or twelve (12) months from the documented date of installation if installed
within twenty-four (24) months from the production date.
The liability of tekmar under the Limited Warranty shall be limited to, at tekmar’s sole discretion: the cost of parts
and labor provided by tekmar to repair defects in materials and / or workmanship of the defective product; or to
the exchange of the defective product for a warranty replacement product; or to the granting of credit limited to the
original cost of the defective product, and such repair, exchange or credit shall be the sole remedy available from
tekmar, and, without limiting the foregoing in any way, tekmar is not responsible, in contract, tort or strict product
liability, for any other losses, costs, expenses, inconveniences, or damages, whether direct, indirect, special, secondary, incidental or consequential, arising from ownership or use of the product, or from defects in workmanship
or materials, including any liability for fundamental breach of contract.
The pass-through Limited Warranty applies only to those defective Products returned to tekmar during the warranty period. This Limited Warranty does not cover the cost of the parts or labor to remove or transport the defective Product, or to reinstall the repaired or replacement Product, all such costs and expenses being subject to
Purchaser’s agreement and warranty with its customers.
Any representations or warranties about the Products made by Purchaser to its customers which are different from
or in excess of the tekmar Limited Warranty are the Purchaser’s sole responsibility and obligation. Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold tekmar harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities and damages of any kind or
nature which arise out of or are related to any such representations or warranties by Purchaser to its customers.
The pass-through Limited Warranty does not apply if the returned Product has been damaged by negligence by
persons other than tekmar, accident, fire, Act of God, abuse or misuse; or has been damaged by modifications,
alterations or attachments made subsequent to purchase which have not been authorized by tekmar; or if the Product was not installed in compliance with tekmar’s instructions and / or the local codes and ordinances; or if due to
defective installation of the Product; or if the Product was not used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH THE GOVERNING
LAW ALLOWS PARTIES TO CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY OR DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT, ITS NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY RELEVANT PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS, AND
ITS COMPLIANCE WITH OR NON-VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY
LEGISLATION; THE TERM OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY NOT HEREBY CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDED IS LIMITED SUCH THAT IT SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS FROM THE PRODUCTION
DATE, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIMITATION IS ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW.
Product Warranty Return Procedure All Products that are believed to have defects in workmanship or materials must be returned, together with a written description of the defect, to the tekmar Representative assigned to
the territory in which such Product is located. If tekmar receives an inquiry from someone other than a tekmar
Representative, including an inquiry from Purchaser (if not a tekmar Representative) or Purchaser’s customers,
regarding a potential warranty claim, tekmar’s sole obligation shall be to provide the address and other contact
information regarding the appropriate Representative.
