1.0 INITIAL SET-UP:
BEFORE YOU PROCEED - Read the Following
Warranty Statement:
Please read the entire warranty statement on page 31 of this manual.
Minimum Installation:
• You should program at least one (1) telephone number to call if there is a
temperature, power or battery emergency. The unit will operate without any
telephone numbers programmed and you will be able to remotely access the
unit to check current status information at the remote location, but without
any call-to telephone numbers programmed, you will not receive alarm calls
from your FreezeAlarm.
• You must use a back-up battery. A 9V Lithium Battery is highly
recommended as a backup battery. This battery is not included with the
FreezeAlarm, but is available at most hardware stores or directly from
Control Products. Other back-up battery options are discussed in the
Appendix.
• IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU TEST YOUR FREEZEALARM to make
sure the unit calls out during an alarm condition. Follow the test
procedure on Page 18.
1.1 Operating Environment:
The Deluxe FreezeAlarm should operate in a dry, clean area that is near an AC power
outlet and a telephone wall-jack. The FreezeAlarm is designed to operate in
temperatures from 20° to 140°F (-7° to 60°C). You should not install the
FreezeAlarm in areas where there is strong electrostatic, electromagnetic or
radioactive fields. Do not install the FreezeAlarm in an area with high humidity,
chemical fumes or corrosive vapors. Never install or connect your FreezeAlarm
during a lightning storm!
