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.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply before installation.
The sensor assembly (see Fig. 1) consists of an aluminum
sensor probe (element housed internally) with attached flange
that can be mounted on a flat duct or plenum surface, or in
a 2 in. by 4 in. (51 by 102 mm) junction box using two No. 8
screws. Connections to the sensor are made through two 6 in.
(152 mm) leadwires.
Location
The sensor should be located in the air duct or plenum where
it will sample an average air temperature. Avoid locations
where air stratification can cause sensing errors.
Mounting
Mounting on a Flat Duct or Plenum Surface (Fig. 2)
1. Cut a 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) hole in the duct or plenum
surface at the desired location.
2. Insert sensor probe into the duct or plenum until the
flange rests against the duct or plenum wall.
3. If necessary, use the flange as a template to mark
and drill two holes for No. 8 mounting screws.
4. Fasten the sensor to the duct or plenum surface
with two No. 8 sheet metal screws (not provided).
Mounting in a Junction Box (Fig. 3)
1. Cut a 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) hole in the duct or plenum
surface at the desired location.
2. Remove the center rear knockout from the junction box
and insert the sensing probe through the knockout with
the flange flat against the outlet box.
3. Using the flange as a template, mark and drill two holes
in the junction box and the duct or plenum surface for
No. 8 mounting screws.
4. Insert sensor probe through both the junction box
knockout and the 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) hole drilled in the duct
or plenum and fasten the junction box and sensor to the
duct or plenum surface.

Wiring
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply 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
1. All wiring must agree with applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations.
2. Do not mount sensor in incorrect environment.
3. Wire according to the applicable controller
instructions.
4. Erratic temperature readings from a sensor can be
caused by improper wiring practices. These must
be avoided to assure proper operation:
•Avoid poor wiring connections.
•Avoid intermittent or missing building earth ground.
•Do not mount sensor in incorrect environment.
Connect low voltage wiring from the sensor to the appropriate
system component terminals using solderless connectors.
See Fig. 3.
NOTES:
1. For connections to the W973 Single Zone Logic
Panel, see Fig. 4.
2. For connections to the W7080 Multizone System,
see Fig. 5.
3. For connections to the Excel 500 Control System,
see Fig. 6.
4. For additional wiring information, refer to the
appropriate specification.

OPERATION AND CHECKOUT
Operation
The C7046A,B,C Air Temperature Sensors consist of a
thermistor sensing element mounted in a tubular probe. They
are applied at various locations throughout single zone and
multizone duct systems. The negative temperature coefficient
(NTC) characteristic of the thermistor element causes its
resistance to decrease as the sampled air temperature
increases. This resistance shift is balanced with other system
sensor signals by appropriate system logic panels to stabilize
system control.
The C7046D Air Temperature Sensor consists of a platinum
thin film sensor element mounted in a tubular probe. It can be
applied at various locations throughout single zone and
multizone duct systems. The positive temperature coefficient
(PTC) characteristics of the platinum thin film element causes
its resistance to increase as the sampled air temperature
increases. This resistance shift is balanced with other system
sensor signals by the Excel 500 Control System.
Checkout
Allow the C7046 Air Temperature Sensor to soak in the air
moving through the duct or plenum for a minimum of five
minutes before taking a resistance measurement.
1. Disconnect the sensor leadwires from the associated
system components.
2. Connect an ohmmeter across the leadwires.
3. Assure nominal resistance measurements are in
accordance with the resistance/temperature curves
shown in Figs. 7, 8 and 9.
4. Reconnect sensor leadwires to associated system
components.
5. Check operation of the complete control system.
