Optional Cable Box 

If your main use case is to use one of the sensors to measure the room temperature outside the 
enclosure, then an optional sensor wire box is provided.   This tidies up the exterior cable AND allows 
you to mount the sensor away from the enclosure, so the radiant heat doesn’t a

ect the reading.

The provided screws fit into the square nuts, inserted into two slots in the box.  While these instructions 

are decidedly terse, hopefully, the pictures will give enough information.
