Need help identifying temperature sensor.

Can anyone identify the temp sensor on this board. I need to relocate the indoor temperature sensor. Not sure of its location on this board. It is a Honeywell th5220d1003

No, I want to desolder the sensor off, then solder a wire to the board, solder sensor on the end of the wire, then relocate wire

RT-1 is the temperature sensing semiconductor. The thermostat has been optimized with that part on the board. Extending it away from the board may introduce hum and interference. That part is also polarity sensitive.

Since you would be adding wires with your modification, why not just add a second t'stat where you want to monitor the temp. As PJ max stated, moving the temp sensor by adding wires could affect the operation of the t'stat. You are introducing electric fields that didn't exist before. It is also possible the calibration will change by remoteing the temp sensor. Good luck.
