 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
EQUIPMENT CONTROL MODULE WIRING OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (INCLUDED)

Outdoor temperature can be measured by installing an 8052 sensor to the ODT terminals and enabling the outdoor
sensor in the installer setup menu. When an outdoor sensor is installed, the features below will be enabled.

In heat pump mode the outdoor temperature sensor can be used to efficiently utilize an air source heat pump:
• When the outdoor temperature is less than the Low Balance Point, the heat pump will be locked out and only
auxiliary heating will be used to provide heating.
• When the outdoor temperature is higher than the High Balance Point, the auxiliary heating will be locked out and
only the heat pump will be used to provide heating.

Indoor Air Quality functions can use the outdoor temperature sensor to:
• Control humidification setpoint based on outdoor temperature to prevent condensation
• Lock out humidification for temperatures over 60°F or below -30°F.
• L ock out ventilation based on high and/or low outdoor temperatures.

RETURN AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (OPTIONAL) CONVENTIONAL HEAT/COOL SINGLE TRANSFORMER (USE JUMPER)

Return air temperature can be measured by attaching an 8052 sensor to the RAT terminals. The return sensor must
be enabled in the installer setup menu. The return air temperature sensor provides protection in the event that the
equipment control module loses connection with the thermostat. In the event that the thermostat connection is lost,
