E September 2004 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 transmitter. 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 openair 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. Programming all other GE Panels: 1. Set your control panel to Program mode. 2. Proceed to Learn Sensors menu. 3. Select sensor group and sensor number assignments. 4. Remove the sensor's outer cover by pressing the cover release button located on the end of the sensor. 5. Press and hold the plastic tab marked Press to Pro- gram until the control panel confirms programming. 6. Replace the sensor's outer cover. 7. At the panel, exit Program mode. Note Refer to specific Quick Bridge® Loop Receiver documents for additional programming information. Testing The following steps provide a general guideline for testing the freeze sensor. Refer to specific panel installation instructions for complete testing details. 1. Set your control panel to Sensor Test mode. 2. Trip the sensor by pressing and holding the plastic tab marked Press to Program for at least one second. 3. Listen for appropriate sirens as described in the panel installation instructions. The sirens indicate the number of signals the panel has received from the sensor. 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). Programming The following steps provide a general guideline for programming (learning) the freeze sensor into panel memory. Refer to specific panel installation instructions for complete programming details. Installation This section describes how to install the sensor after successful programming and testing. 1. Secure sensor base to a clean, dry, nonporous mounting surface using the double-sided tape. Or follow steps 2-4 to secure sensor base with screws. 2. Remove the sensor's cover by pressing the cover release button on the end of the sensor. 3. Remove batteries and access the mounting holes. 4. Use the included screws to secure sensor base at each mounting hole location (see Figure 1). Remember to use an achor if mounting sensor on drywall or plaster. Note Mounting Hole #2 may not be accessible on all models. Programming for Simon® Panels: 1. Set your control panel to Program mode. MOUNTING HOLE #1 2. Proceed to Learn Sensors menu. 3. Remove the sensor's outer cover by pressing the cover release button located on the end of the sensor. 4. Press and hold the plastic tab marked Press to Pro- gram until the control panel confirms programming. 5. Replace the sensor's outer cover. 6. Select sensor group and sensor number assignments. 7. At the panel, exit Program mode. 9255G02A.DSF MOUNTING HOLE #2 Figure 1. Mounting Hole Locations 5. Install the AAA batteries and replace cover. 1
