Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Winland Temp˚ Alert
and low temperature limits are critical. Temp˚ Alert
temperature alarm signals. This unique feature enables you to instantly identify whether your facility being monitored has a high or low temperature condition.
Simply select an acceptable temperature range by setting the adjustable high and low limit stops. If temperature in the monitored area either rises or falls to the
limit stops, the temperature indicator will contact one of the limit stops. This completes the circuit and provides you with a dry contact alarm signal. The MTA1
contacts are normally open dry contacts rated at 50 mA at 12 VDC. This output can be used to activate alarm systems, telephone dialers, or other remote
®
warning devices. Temp˚ Alert
is the ideal addition for any security system.
The package you purchased should contain:

·
Two mounting screws and two plastic wall anchors
Location
In specifying the location and number of Temp˚ Alerts
building already has an energy management system, an easy rule of thumb to follow is to install a Temp˚ Alert
a wall or other vertical surface in the area where temperature is to be monitored. Make sure it is well clear of windows, doors, or heat sources that could cause
an inaccurate reading of air temperature. When protecting a building against freeze damage, always install at least one Temp˚ Alert
the home or business.
Installation
Items needed:
Standard screwdriver
·
·
5/16" wrench or nut driver
Step #1 – Opening the Case
Begin with the device facing you. Turn the device 90˚ to the right to expose the left end of the case. Notice that the left end of the base plate has been tooled
with a single attachment hole whereas the right end has not. Grasp the device with your right hand, position your thumb on the center of the left end of the
device above the seam with your remaining fingers on the right end of the device (See Figure 1). Press hard with your thumb to disengage the latching pin.
Separate the two halves by pulling the device away from the base plate.
To open the case, squeeze firmly with
your thumb and pull front face plate
away from the back plate.
Step #2 – Attach Base Plate to Mounting Surface
After you have determined a location for the device to be mounted, position the base plate of the device on the mounting surface with your hand and mark the
center point of the mounting holes with a pen or other marking device. Mount the base plate to the wall using the included mounting screws. Depending on the
type of surface you are mounting to, you may need to predrill holes to accept the mounting screws alone, or the plastic anchors and mounting screws
Step #3 – Selecting the High and Low Set Points
Each limit post is controlled by a locknut. Use a 5/16" nut driver or wrench to loosen (turn counter clockwise) the high and low adjustment posts (See Figure 2).
After loosening, slide the posts to the proper temperature setting. Once the posts are in the proper setting locations, simply retighten the lock nuts (turn
clockwise). Avoid over tightening of the locknut.
Step #4 – Making the Wiring Connections
To complete the installation, use three conductor stranded or solid wire to connect the Temp˚ Alert
of a standard installation that utilizes differentiated notification outputs for high and low temperature occurrences.
If desired, the HI limit wire and LOW limit wire may be connected together under a single zone. This is useful whenever a limited number of open zones are
available and you do not wish to differentiate between a high and low temperature notification.
Diagram shown above will activate zone 1 if the high limit is exceeded and zone 2 if the low limit is exceeded
