Schneider Electric
Inaccurate Temperature Sensing
Room temperature shown on thermostat is significantly different from actual room temperature.

Possible Causes
Thermostat installed near drafts or heat sources, Incorrect sensor offset configured, Internal sensor drift, Remote sensor selected but not installed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No high-voltage work is needed.
Steps:
- Place a reliable thermometer near the thermostat and compare readings after 15–20 minutes.
- Check thermostat settings for any temperature offset or calibration; adjust to match the reference thermometer within a small margin.
- Verify that the thermostat is not configured to use a remote sensor if none is connected; change sensor source to internal if necessary.
- Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts from vents, or mounted on an exterior wall; if it is, consider relocating or using a Schneider Electric remote room sensor.
- If readings remain erratic or far off even after calibration, the internal sensor is likely faulty; replace the thermostat.
