Outdoor Temp Sensor Off
My one year old boiler kicked on today at lunch even thought the outdoor temp was 62!!!! The controll said it was reading 52 for the outside temp. It has a warm weather shut off for 50 which didn’t kick it off because I tweeked it the other way last month because it was reading…

I am convinced that it is mounted in a bad spot. It is mounted on a brownstone material pillar around eight feet from the building. I see others on the block mounted on the building.
Should it be mounted directly on the stone or would it be better to step it off with airspace behind it or on a block of wood.
I am going off to experiment, just wwondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
it should be mounted on a building wall,but you should not mount it near anything that would affect its ability to sense temp accurately, i.e. away from vents,etc…and away from direct sunlight…look at your installation brochure regarding height..you generally mount it on an exterior electric box, since the wiring should be enclosed in aluminum conduit as per nyc building code
