Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Winland Temp Alert model TA-40. Your new Temp Alert has been designed for reliable monitoring of areas where low temperature limits are critical. Temp” Alert monitors and activates when the temperature drops below 39.2° F (4° C).

LOCATION

It is difficult to precisely specify the location or quantity of TA-40s to install. A number of factors such as room size, effectiveness of the ventilation system, and the likelihood of freezing should be considered. If the building already has an energy management system, an easy rule of thumb is to install a TA-40 near each thermostat. When protecting a building against freeze damage, always install at least one Temp Alert on every level of the home or business.

Installation

Items needed:

• Either Standard or Phillips screwdriver
• Quantity of two (2) #6 Screws
• 18-22 AWG twisted pair

Step 1
Use the base of the TA-40 as a template and mark the position of the screw holes. Drill pilot holes if necessary. Align the TA-40 with mounting holes and install the screws. Do not fully tighten screws at this time.

Step 2
Connect the TA-40 to your warning device by attaching an 18-22 AWG twisted pair cable to the terminals. Slide the cover on and finish tightening the mounting screws.

Operation and Testing Procedures
The TA-40 must be located in an area where the temperature range is within -40″ to 212″ F (-40″ to 100″ C). Contacts will remain closed at temperatures above 39.2° F (4° C). But if the temperature drops below 39.2° F (4° ) the contacts will open to activate any hardwire alarm or wireless transmitter. The tolerance on this temperature switch is +54°F.

To manually activate the TA-40 for testing purposes, place the device in a freezer for 10 minutes. Remove the TA 40 from the freezer; test the contacts with an ohmmeter to confirm they have opened.

To insure proper operation, test weekly.

Dual output temperature monitoring

No power required to operate.
20to 110°F alarm range; non condensing environments only.
N..dry contacts.

IMPORTANT:
Do not place any Temp” Alert in a cooler or freezer. Frost buildup and moisture can cause the unit to malfunction. For cooler & freezer applications, use an Enviro Alert” device with a remote probe.
