TE-6800 Series Temperature Sensors Installation Instructions

Mounting

Location Considerations

Locate the TE-6800 sensor:

on a partitioning interior wall, and approximately 
5 ft (1.5 m) above the floor in a location of average 
temperature

away from direct sunlight, radiant heat, outside 
walls, behind doors, air discharge grills, stairwells, 
or outside doors

away from steam or water pipes, warm air stacks, 
unconditioned areas (no heating and no cooling), 
or sources of electrical interference

Note:

The TE-6800 Series sensor is shock and 

vibration resistant; however, be careful not to drop the 
unit or mount it where it could be exposed to excessive 
vibration.

The following ambient operating conditions apply:

Temperature: 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C)

Humidity: 10 to 95% Relative Humidity (RH), 
noncondensing; 86°F (30°C) maximum dew point

To mount the sensor to the wall:

1.

Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) hex wrench or 
Johnson Controls T-4000-119 hex-head 
adjustment tool to loosen the security screw on the 
top of the unit.

2.

Insert a blade screwdriver into the slot next to the 
security screw location, and then carefully pry the 
top edge of the sensor assembly away from its 
mounting base and remove.

3.

Pull out approximately 6 in. (152 mm) of cable from 
the wall, and insert the cable through the hole in 
the mounting base.

4.

Align the mounting base on the wall, and use the 
base as a template to mark the location of the two 
mounting holes on the surface. 

Note:

Confirm that the mounting base is positioned 

with the proper edge up. The mounting base is 
positioned properly when the security screw is located 
on the top edge of the base.

5.

Secure the mounting base to the wall using the 
appropriate mounting hardware (field furnished).

6.

Set DIP switches for the desired operation. See 

Setup and Adjustments

 and 

Internal Wiring 

Diagrams

 for additional information.

For models featuring a screw terminal block, wire 
the unit as illustrated in Figure 4.

7.

Align the tabs on the bottom edge of the mounting 
base with the slots on the bottom edge of the 
sensor assembly, and rotate the assembly onto its 
mounting base.

Note:

On models featuring a screw terminal block, be 

certain that the terminal block pins align with the holes 
in the terminal block.

8.

Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) hex wrench or 
Johnson Controls T-4000-119 hex-head 
Adjustment Tool to tighten the security screw and 
fasten the network sensor assembly to the 
mounting base.

Wiring

  

    

IMPORTANT:

Do not remove the Printed Circuit 

Board (PCB). Removing the PCB voids the product 
warranty.

Risk of Property Damage.

Do not apply power to the system before checking all 
wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly 
connected wires may result in permanent damage to 
the equipment.

Risque de dégâts matériels.

Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir 
vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant 
un court-circuit ou connectés de façon incorrecte 
risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement 
l'équipement.

IMPORTANT:

Use copper conductors only. Make 

all wiring connections in accordance with local, 
national, and regional regulations.
