Dometic 5 button thermostat

I have a 5 button thermostat with two penguin hc units. As I understand it, the second unit must have a remote temp sensor installed. If you install a remote sensor for zone 1, does the thermostat automatically detect it and use it instead of the one in the thermostat.

The front unit is short cycling and the rear will not come on at all. It will run the fan in the manual mode.
  • There is one but the wiring does not go all the way to the AC. The only thermistor connected to the board is the frz sensor.

    I have a new CCC2 and two sensors on the way.
  • I find it hard to believe that there is no sensor for that rear A/C . They are usually located in the Bedroom. Mine looks like a tiny vent ,about the size of half a Walnut!
  • That is not my case. It is sealed up well. However, there is no remote temp sensor connected to either ac.
  • Regarding the short cycling A/C. I was experiencing the same issue with my Atwood unit. Come to find out, the sensor was inside the return side of the AC. There was a baffle that was supposed to separate the discharge and return sides. It had come loose, and the cold air was cycling right back into the return side. I put it back in place and used some duct tape to hold it there. Works good as new.
