Install the Outside Air Temperature Transmitter
For best results locate the sensor on the north side of the structure high under an
eave to prevent incorrect readings from direct sunlight and damage due to the
elements. Mount the OSA enclosure with the sensor module facing down to
prevent the accumulation of dirt or water.
Wire/Connect the Outside Air Temperature Sensor
The wiring diagram shows typical connections to a controller. For 4 to 20 mA loop
signal, only the PWR and OUT terminals are used.
Field Calibration
The unit can be calibrated in the field by using precision resistor values equal to the
zero and span of the transmitter temperature range.
1. Disconnect the sensor from the transmitter and connect the resistor that
represents the zero value to the EXC and NEG terminals.

Frequently Answers and Questions
What is the accuracy of the Allen-Bradley Outside Air Temperature Transmitter?
The accuracy is ±0.15°C Class A, ±0.30°C Class B and 0.1% FSO for the board.
How do I calibrate the Allen-Bradley Outside Air Temperature Transmitter in the field?
You can calibrate the transmitter using precision resistor values that correspond to the zero and span of the temperature range. Disconnect the sensor, connect the zero value resistor to EXC and NEG terminals, adjust the ZERO pot until the desired output is achieved. Repeat this process for the span value resistor and the SPAN pot.
Where should I install the Allen-Bradley Outside Air Temperature Transmitter?
For best results, locate the sensor on the north side of the structure high under an eave. Mount the enclosure with the sensor module facing down to prevent dirt or water accumulation.
