Crestron CHV-RSS Remote Slab Sensor Remote Slab Sensor: CHV-RSS Introduction Features and Functions The CHV-RSS is a remote slab sensor ideally suited for concrete slab, under floor or outdoor mounting. It is an extremely accurate temperature sensor potted within a stainless steel sleeve. The CHV-RSS joins the inventory of Crestron® temperature sensors, which include the CHV-RTS remote temperature sensor and the CHV-RTHS remote temperature/humidity sensor.
Remote Slab Sensor Crestron CHV-RSS temperature sensor. Any firmware version may be used to operate the CHV-RSS as an outdoor temperature sensor. NOTE: If the maximum number of sensors is exceeded, some of the sensors will be ignored by the system. NOTE: The CHV-RTHS counts as two sensors because it measures both temperature and humidity. Specifications SPECIFICATION DETAILS Temperature Range Accuracy Wiring -40º to 170º F (-40º to 77º C)* 1º F (0.
Crestron CHV-RSS Remote Slab Sensor Physical Views of the CHV-RSS 0.312 in diameter (7.92 mm) 2.75 in (6.98 cm) 20 FT (6.10 m) Industry Compliance As of the date of manufacture, the CHV-RSS has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Remote Slab Sensor Crestron CHV-RSS Ensure that the sensor conduit is vertically centered in the slab below the surface. Sensor Conduit position in Slab Sensor Conduit Slab Heating Cables or Pipes • In small rooms, position the sensor near the center of the floor. • In larger rooms, ensure that the sensor is at least six feet from the wall. • In very large spaces, two sensors may be used to average the floor temperature. • The sensor should be placed midway between the heating elements.
Crestron CHV-RSS Remote Slab Sensor Slab Sensor Mounting in Tile or Wood Floors In tile floors, ensure that a channel is made in the thin-set mortar, just above the subflooring, to properly position the sensor. Tile Floor Mounting Tiles (finished surface) Thin-set Mortar Heating Cables or Pipes Subfloor Floor Joists Slab Sensor In wood floors, ensure that a channel is cut in the subflooring to accommodate the slab sensor.
Remote Slab Sensor Crestron CHV-RSS NOTE: Maximum distance from sensor to thermostat is 500 feet (152.4 m). – Wire runs should be low-capacitance twisted pair wire such as CAT3 (up to 250 ft, 76.2 m) or CAT5 (up to 500 ft, 152.4 m) network cable. – Other cable types are satisfactory, provided the total capacitance is less than 7000 pF. Hardware Hookup The sensors are connected to the terminal blocks on the rear plastic housing of the thermostat. Separate the thermostat from its backplate.
Crestron CHV-RSS Remote Slab Sensor Connection Example 2: Connecting two air temperature sensors (CHV-RTS) and two floor temperature sensors (CHV-RSS) to the thermostat. 1. Remote Temperature Sensors 1 and 2 (CHV-RTS) are connected to RS1 and RSR. 2. Remote Temperature Sensor 3 and 4 (CHV-RSS) are connected to RS2 and RSR.
Remote Slab Sensor Crestron CHV-RSS Refer to the following illustration. 1. Mount the sensor using two coaxial cable standoffs. If the fit is not snug, use silicon adhesive to secure the sensor in place. NOTE: Sensor should not come in contact with metal objects. 2. Use a plastic feedthrough bushing and pass the wires through the outside wall. 3. Form a drip loop in the wire to prevent moisture from entering the building.
