Immediately upon removing the Guard from the box, turn it on without plugging it in to the wall out-

let. This is a test to see if the batteries became dislodged during shipping. If the LCD screen

works, turn it back off. Newer units (rev. 13 and up) have the power switch built into the power

jack. Simply plugging in the cord to the jack enables the switch.



Select a location with access to power and an analog telephone line.



Mount the Guard to the wall. Holes are 10cm or 3.937 inches apart.



Connect the phone line to an active analog telephone jack.

It is recommended that a surge suppresser be used for the phone line.



It is recommended that a surge suppresser be used for the power line.



Plug the power pack into a 120vac power.



Connect Sensors and Inputs.

For ease of wiring, the terminal blocks can be removed. Follow the wiring diagram on the previ-

ous page.

Temperature Sensors

Locate the sensor so that it will yield an average temperature. If specific items within a fridge or

freezer are being monitored, locate the sensors as close as possible to those items. The tempera-

ture throughout a fridge or freezer can vary widely.

Door Sensor Inputs

Wire closed loop magnetic door sensors to the Door Sensor Inputs to detect when doors are

open. Multiple door sensor switches can be wired in series.

Temperature Sensors must be installed before turning on the unit.



Turn on the Guard by moving the power switch to the "On" position. If sensors are added or re-

moved later, you must turn the unit off, then on again. Newer units (rev. 13 and up) have the

power switch built into the power jack. Simply plugging in the cord to the jack enables the switch.

Removing the jack will turn the unit off.
