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 39.5 °F (4.2 °C).

Location:

It is difficult to precisely specify the location or quantity of TA-40’s to install. A few 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 of business.

Installa?on/Items Needed:

Standard or Philips Screwdriver
Quan?ty of two (2) #6 screws
18-22 AWG twisted pair wire

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 the 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 in an area where the temperature range is between -40 to +212 °F (-40 to +100 °C). Contacts will remain closed at temperatures above 39.5 °F (4.2 °C). If the temperature drops below 39.5 °F (4.2 °C) the contacts will open to activate any hardwire alarm or wireless transmission. The tolerance on this temperature switch is ±5.4 °F (±3.0 °C). 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.
