Sensor Information — Each zone controller requires a
Carrier space temperature sensor that must be ordered separate-
ly. There are two space sensors available for this application
the 33ZCT55SPT space temperature sensor with override but-
ton and the 33ZCT56SPT space temperature sensor with over-
ride button and set point adjustment.
SPACE TEMPERATURE SENSORS — The sensor housing
is plastic ABS. The connections are screw terminals. The
weight is 0.18 lbs. See Fig. 1 for sensor dimensions.
The 33ZCT56SPT space temperature sensor has a set point
potentiometer that provides a set point input. The set point
potentiometer range for each sensor can be adjusted from –15°
to 15° F. Adjustment direction is indicated by COOL and
WARM on the sensor cover.
The temperature sensor uses a 10K Ohm thermistor to sense
ambient temperature. See Table 1 for resistance vs. temperature
values for the thermistor.
The sensor is designed to be mounted in a vertical mounting
position for proper operation.
33ZCT55SPT SENSOR — The 33ZCT55SPT space sensor is
a basic space temperature sensor for use with the zone control-
ler. It contains a thermistor to sense room temperature, override
button for initiating a timed override, and an RJ11 jack for the
