Phone Jack
Plug in the supplied telephone cord here.
The other end plugs into your telephone
wall jack (or through a surge suppressor
that has the ability to protect the phone
line). See the “connections” section later
in the manual for more details.
Dip Switches
There are six dip switches that are used
to select various features and functions of
your FreezeAlarm. Note that the UP
position of the switch is towards the top
of the FreezeAlarm’s case and DOWN is
towards the bottom.
Sensor Input Jack
Use this to plug in the temperature
sensor. This jack is a slightly smaller
than a normal phone jack. This is done
to prevent accidental input of the phone
line into this jack which could cause
harm to the FreezeAlarm.
9 Volt Battery Connection
This is where you will plug in your 9 volt
lithium battery.
Auxiliary Alarm Inputs
The Auxiliary Alarm Input allows you to
monitor any additional alarm device or
contact closure or contact opening. This
is where you could hook up our
WaterAlarm™ or MiniAlarm Motion
Sensor™.
Remote Switch Connections
These are the connections for the Deluxe
FreezeAlarm’s Remote Switch Relay.
Plug In Power Cord Connection
This is where you will plug in the power
cord transformer that is included with
your FreezeAlarm.
Manual Remote Switch, T1/T2
By pressing and holding this switch, you
can manually switch between the T1 and
T2 settings for the Remote Switch.

Standby/On Switch
Toggle switch for either STANDBY
mode or ON for normal operation mode.
Power Indicator Light
This light is on if the plug-in transformer
is plugged in and there is power to the
unit. It is not on if the unit is operating
on battery power only.
Alarm Indicator Light
This light will FLASH if the unit is in the
STANDBY mode. During normal
operation with no alarms present, this
light will not be on. This light will
remain ON and not flash if the unit is in
ALARM mode, meaning one of the
alarm conditions exists or the alarm call-
out has not been canceled.
T1 and T2 Indicator Lights
These indicate the position that the
remote switch is in. They can be ignored
unless you are using the T1/T2 Remote
Switch to either turn up or down the
temperature in your monitored location
or to turn on or off some other device by
telephone.
Program Phone Jack
Plug in a phone here to either locally
program your FreezeAlarm or to locally
check status or cancel alarm call-outs.
For normal operation, you will not leave
a phone plugged into this jack.
1.3 What you need before you start:
Before proceeding, make sure you have the following ready:
1. 9 volt Lithium battery for back-up power.
2. A high quality surge suppressor that protects the power line as well as the
telephone connections. These are available from all hardware stores,
department stores and directly from Control Products.
3. Up to three phone numbers that the FreezeAlarm will automatically call
during a temperature, power or battery emergency. You may program only
one number or program the same telephone number in more than one of the
three positions. These phone numbers are referred to as call-to telephone
numbers throughout this manual.
4. Access to a single line telephone jack. An existing single telephone line in a
home or business will work fine, and the FreezeAlarm will not interfere with
the use of your telephone line in any way. The FreezeAlarm will operate
with all standard telephone systems that accept either pulse or tone dialing.
Certain private telephone systems and PBX or digital telephone systems may
not work with the FreezeAlarm. In those cases, a dedicated, single telephone
line will be required. Consult the supplier of your phone system if you
