I have a manual for a Honeywell thermostat that lists C7089 outdoor sensor as one of the parts. The thermostat is used for Honeywell Th8000 through Th7000 thermostats.
If possible, place it under the eaves on the north side of the house. Here is a direct quote from A sensor should be installed where you want it No tampering with settings is allowed. A good amount of air is circulated in the room. As a result, it can give an accurate reading of outdoor temperatures. It is flat and has a level surface. In addition, there is a wire distance less than 200 feet between C7089 and thermostat. **Please make sure that the sensor is not mounted Sunlight is directly in the face. Hot or cold air blows on the sensor when it is hot or cold. Temperature readings are inaccurate due to the discharge line from an outdoor compressor unit, vent, or fan.
Even when this sensor is installed, none of the Honeywell T series thermostats will display the outdoor temperature. You may want to purchase a Honeywell 8000 or 9000 series thermostat in order to view the outdoor temperature with this sensor.
If properly installed, this sensor will provide the thermostat with data about the temperature outside. After that, it is up to the thermostat to regulate heat or cool based on There is a setting on my thermostat that turns the heat on if the outside temperature drops below 45 degrees. In this case, the heat pump will be turned off and the gas furnace will be turned If there is a setting to stop the AC depending on outside temperature, I don't know how to access it.
Selected User Reviews For Honeywell C7089U1006 Outdoor Temperature Sensor
This temperature sensor was bought so that our emergency heat would turn on when the outside temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. We have 8-foot trees, but none of them are in good shape There are 9 conductors in our thermostat wiring, and with external heat and heat pump, we need to run We had no choice but to get rid of the manual furnace fan Our house is heated by heat pump and by a natural gas furnace. Our suspicions are that electricity will be more expensive to heat with, but we are going to at least try it in the coming fall and winter. In most cases, the temputure sensor measures the outside temperature within 2 degrees of the true Could its accuracy be impacted by the wiring's resistance? This is one of the great products that Honeywell makes.
Honeywell thermostat models that use this outdoor sensor can be identified by its OEM number. It works perfectly with my T10 thermostat. I set my T10 to lock out heatstrip use at 30 F and above, so I need to know the exact outside temperature. Locking out the compressor also applies if the temperature drops below 10F. There can be a difference of up to 10 degrees between the temperature on the Internet and the actual temperature in a place. A compressor lockout can save energy and/or prevent unnecessary wear on the compressor.
During installation, we lost the original sensor for our heat pump. I did try to research for a replacement using the model number and serial number that I was given on the old one however, it would have been helpful if the manufacturer (Honeywell) had indicated that the replacement product would work even if the model number did not match exactly. We now have the ability to see the outside temperature on our thermostat after it was installed by our husband.
My wife asks, "How cold is it outside" as she walks by the thermostat every morning, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to look up the temperature each time she asks. I have placed the sensor under the deck on the windward side of our house so that there is plenty of shade and proper air circulation, which mean there are fewer chances of an According to this calibration, the reading is approximately 2 degrees higher than the Wunderground forecast, but that is what our old outdoor thermometer read before it gave up the ghost. It is possible to reach a quarter mile at this location and have a decent change in weather. The only thing I don't like about this product is the length of the cord. I put a drip loop on it and fed it through the house sill plate and the deck ledger board. There really wasn't much cable left over. Using some 2-inch slices, I cut it into slices I then fed the thermostat cable the rest of the way to the thermostat using cable I had lying around. It may work if your thermostat is on an exterior wall with a sensor located nearby, but expect to have to use extra wire. I did not find the instructions for this item thorough or well written, but with common sense and the thermostat manual, I was able to easily install it. Instead of asking the current temperature, my wife now asks "how cold is it going to get. ".
This is mounted near the compressor coils (mine is on the inside of the housing), so I can program the thermostat to lock out the heat strips (above 40 degrees) and the compressor below 20 degrees (balance point). The device is hardwired, so there are no batteries to fail (run it once through the wire). A thermostat on the thermostat displays the outside temperature as well. This is *br.
The installation and programming of this device is straightforward. This is the first time my air conditioner actually works on its own. I don't need to touch the thermostat because I can use my heat pump, emergency electric heat and air conditioning without being forced to do so. The 2 wires from your thermostat must be connected to the S1 and S2 terminals on your thermostat in order to work. Once secured, your thermostat needs only to be programmed in and mounted. It was a lot of work to make my own sensor bracket because that one provided is cheap. Definitely recommend this outdoor sensor if you want to sense the weather outside! Please specify CPS.
The dual fuel system works with this pump. This sensor is for dual fuel systems and is used to measure the outdoor temperature only. There is no need for this sensor on standard heat pumps. You should change your heat pump system to something else if you're trying to lock out your auxiliary heat. You cannot do that since that isn't how it is designed. The heat pumps are equipped with a built in timer (default timer) that will turn them into aux heating if they have not been in the defrost cycle for that period of time.
Good sensor, by the way.
Cables from the stat to the fan coil and from the fan coil to the compressor had a defective wire in them. Connects to the terminals on the T-slot on the compressor and is easily mounted It has a thermostat of 6. Average the internet temperature and the actual outdoor temperature, and then use that as the stat.
