Temperature Sensors
WARNING
BOTH MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL MODELS.
Duct Sensor (ST) – install in the Geo supply air plenum, at least 24” (61 cm) above the strip heat element
(airflow inches). The ST sensor does not have an end cap; the small black electronic part just within the tube
end is the actual temperature sensor. It is desirable for the air coming out of the coil to pass as close as possible
to the black tip without warm-up or dampening delay. For best results, the sensor should be positioned in the
maximum warm air stream.

If additional cable length is required, you must use the following rules for extending the cable.
Use unshielded (low capacitance, preferred twisted) 3 or 4-wire low voltage cable.
50 (15 meters) feet is maximum (total).
Do not, under any circumstances, use leftover wires within the normal thermostat cable.
Route the sensor cable making sure you do not crimp, cut, staple, or damage the cable in any way.
Keep sensor cables at least 12” (30 cm) away from any line voltage wiring, romex, etc.
For easy sensor cable disconnect and reconnect, the WarmFlo board has a plug-in 4-place terminal block.
Before disconnecting, you will notice two red wires are under the red screw and two white wires is under the
COM screw. The black wire represents the data information from each sensor and must be connected to the
appropriate OT or ST screw.
The sensor has polarity, is sensitive to incorrect voltage, and must be protected from static voltage. Do not cross
connect or inadvertently short out sensor wires with power on. Permanent sensor damage may result.
Gas furnace – if this is a “dual fuel” installation including a gas or oil backup furnace, only two wires are
required between this controller and the gas furnace terminal block. It is assumed the gas furnace will take care
of its own blower based upon a gas-W heat call and the Geo unit blower is off when this controller is in standby
or gas mode.

Comment: The “G” wire between this controller and the Geo unit may or may not be the correct connection. If
the Geo unit blower is in continuous air with gas furnace running that may not be desirable. At the top of the
EZGEO board are three tabs relating to standby/electric mode. If there is a desire to interrupt this “G” wire
during standby, route this wire through the COM and EL tabs.
Outdoor Sensor (OT) – extend sensor to an outdoor location properly sampling
the outdoor temperature. Select a location away from direct sunlight and where
the sensor will not pick up false temperature from the heat pump outdoor unit,
refrigerant line sets, dryer vent, reflection off of steel siding, etc. Do not install
the sensor in any type of enclosure, as this will falsely trap and pick up radiant
sun temperature. Mount the sensor horizontally on the structure using the
screws provided.
