Installation Guide
Phason temperature sensor installation guide
Most Phason controls use either a 3K or 20K sensor. Sensors are available in
lengths ranging from 1 to 150 feet. To find out which sensor your control
requires, see the reference guide on page 2.
**** Switch off the power before servicing the control.
Phason controls must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Installing sensors
Follow the guidelines below and the instruction in your control’s installation guide to connect the temperature sensor.
- Do not run the sensor cable in the same conduit as AC power cables
- Do not run the sensor cable beside AC power cables or near electrical equipment.
- When crossing other cables or power lines, cross them at a 90-degree angle.
Extending sensor cable
- Use 2-wire 18 AWG jacketed cable. Phason recommends Belden #9408, Alpha #5052, or an equivalent. Extension cable is also available from Phason.
- Join the extension cable to the temperature sensor cable as shown in the following diagram.
- If the unit operates erratically with the extended sensor, run the cable along a different path or shorten it.
- A Slide three pieces of heat shrink tubing over the wires: one for the red wire, one for the black wire, and one for both.
- B Strip the ends of the wires and then twist them together.
- C Solder the wires together using rosin-core flux solder. DO NOT use acid core solder.
- D Slide the heat shrink tubing over the solder joints.
- E Shrink the tubing using a heat gun.
- F The connection should look like this.
