Installation
• Temperature Transmitters may be mounted in
any position on a vertical surface.
• Installation may be made inside or outside of
ducts and near fans, compressors, ducts, and
air conditioning equipment. Transmitters,
generally, are not affected by light vibration.
Room transmitters
The TT 184 Room Temperature Transmitter can be
mounted to existing rough-in devices or to the wall,
using various tubing terminal kits. See TB 145
(Product Number 155-210P25) for all the mounting
options.
Typical installation procedures for a finished drywall,
plywood, paneling, or other type of sheathing material
are as follows (Figure 1):
1. Place the template provided with the wall plate on
the wall at the desired location.
2. Drill two 5/32-inch diameter holes for #6 wall plate
mounting screws.
3. Use a 1-1/4 inch diameter hole saw to drill an
access hole in the drywall where indicated on the
template.
4. Insert the clips from the Spring Clip Mounting Kit
182-685 with the long leg going through the
1-1/4 inch access hole and resting flat against the
back surface of the drywall. Align the screw holes
in the clips with the holes on the wall.
5. Fish the air lines through the 1-1/4 inch access
hole. Using tubing kit 180-896, or any tubing kit
suitable for finished wall installation, connect
5/32-inch tubing to the bottom port on the back of
the wall plate and secure the connection using
tube retainers.
6. Install the wall plate on the wall using mounting
screws furnished with the transmitter. The wall
plate has slotted holes to allow leveling of the wall
plate.
7. Carefully plug the transmitter into the wall plate.
NOTE: To facilitate plugging the transmitter into
the O-rings in the wall plate, wet or moisten
the supply and return ports. This wetting or
moistening will lubricate and allow the unit
to slip through the O-rings more easily.
8. Secure the transmitter to the wall plate using the
two captive screws.
9. Place the cover over the transmitter and fasten it
with the two cover screws.
