A This is the ideal sensing location because this placement
ensures the best uniform mix of dry and moist air with stable
temperature control.
B This location is acceptable, but the room environment may
affect controllability such as when the sensor is too close to air
grilles, registers, or heat radiation from room lighting.
C This location is acceptable because it provides a good uniform
mixture of dry and moist air, but if an extended time lag exists
between moisture generation and sensing, make sure the control
contractor extends the sampling time.
D This location behind a wall or partition is acceptable for
sampling the entire room if the sensor is near an air exhaust
return outlet. This location is also typical of sensor placement
for sampling a critical area.
E These locations are not acceptable because they may not
represent actual overall conditions in the space.
F These locations are not acceptable. Do not place sensors near
windows, door passageways, or areas of stagnant airflow.
G This is the best location for a duct high limit humidistat or
humidity sensor.
