Product Summary

The freeze sensor detects low temperature conditions

which may indicate furnace failure. The sensor contains

a bimetallic thermal switch connected to a built-in trans-

mitter. When the surrounding temperature drops to

approximately 41°F (5°C), the sensor transmits an alarm

signal. When the surrounding temperature rises to 50°F

(10°C), the sensor transmits a restore signal.

Tools and Equipment Needed

•

Slotted screwdriver

Installation Guidelines

Do...

•

program and test the sensor

before

mounting it.

•

install the transmitter within 100 feet (30.5 m) of the

control panel. Although the transmitter has an open-

air range of 500 feet (152 m), the effective indoor

range may be less.

•

install the sensor in an area more likely to become

cold before other areas in the building; placing the

sensor in such an area ensures early warning.

•

install the sensor on an interior wall near a continuous

air flow.

Do not...

•

install the sensor in the same room as a furnace or

other heat source that stays warm after furnace failure.

•

install the sensor on an outside wall or basement floor.

•

install the sensor in an area with excessive metal or

electrical wiring.

•

install the sensor in areas with excessive moisture.

•

install the sensor where temperatures exceed the sen-

sor’s operating limits of 10° to 120°F (-12° to 49°C).
