For optimal performance, place your sensor in the same room as the indoor unit it will control. You want to pick a location where the sensor can accurately sense the room’s ambient temperature without interference from heat sources or direct airflow:
Ideal placement:
- Away from direct sunlight
- Not near heat sources (fireplaces, appliances, electronics)
- Away from exterior walls and drafty windows
- Out of the indoor unit’s airflow path
- Not directly below the indoor unit
Good locations:
- Interior walls at room temperature
- Tabletops or shelves in central room locations
- Areas that represent typical room conditions
The sensor comes with an adhesive strip as well as a short lanyard that can be used to secure it to your preferred location.
