PL WALL SENSOR INSTALLATION

Important: All wiring must conform to local and national electrical code regulations.
To avoid problems, carefully follow the procedures below.
A) Location:
1- Should not be installed on an outside wall.
2- Must be installed away from any heat source.
3- Should not be installed near an air discharge grill.
4- Should not be affected by direct sun radiation.

Wiring terminal

5- Nothing must restrain vertical air circulation to the sensor.

B) Installation:
1- Remove security screw on the bottom of thermostat cover.
2- Open up by pulling on the bottom side of thermostat.
3- Pull out cables 6 out of the wall.
4- Wall surface must be flat and clean.
5- Insert cable in the central hole of the base.

7- Align the base and mark the location of the two mounting
holes on the wall. Install proper side of base up.
8- Install anchors in the wall.
9- Insert screws in mounting holes on each side of the base.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
10- Strip each wire 1/4 inch.
11- Insert each wire according to wiring diagram.
12- Gently push back into hole excess wring back into the wall.
13- Press back printed circuit board into place

All PL series controls are for use as operating controls only and are not safety devices. These instruments have
undergone rigorous tests and verifications prior to shipment to ensure proper and reliable operation in the field.
Whenever a control failure could lead to personal injury and/or loss of property, it becomes the responsibility of the
user / installer / electrical panel designer to incorporate safety devices (such as relays, flow switch, thermal
protections, etc) and/or alarm systems to protect the entire system against such catastrophic failures. Any
abusive use of the product will void the warranty.
