Wirsbo Cosy: External Temperature Sensor

The document provides instructions for installing and using Wirsbo CoSy external temperature sensors. The sensors can be used to limit the maximum or minimum floor temperature regardless of room thermostat settings. They should be installed as close as possible to the floor surface, and can be embedded in concrete or installed in wooden floors or floor heating chipboard. The sensor connects to Wirsbo CoSy room thermostats and has a temperature setting range of 20-45°C. Installation location should be marked on drawings.

The maximum limitation can be used, for example, to prevent a


sensitive floor covering from exposure to too high a temperature
where there is a high heat demand. The minimum limitation
can be used, for example, to keep a tile floor warm even when
there is no general demand for heat supply to the room. The
minimum limitation should not be set to a value higher than
the required room temperature.
