Use and Care Manual
ALARM CONTACTS
The alarm contacts on the TEMPAL
TM
are TTL level (5VDC, < 50mA ). The alarm contacts can be connected
directly to a panel or device that accepts a TTL level trigger input. If it is desired to trigger a 5VDC low power
device directly from the alarm terminal, set the output to N.O. When an alarm
is active, 5VDC will be present to power the device. The alarm contacts ARE
polarized so be sure to identify the ground terminal when connecting. When
connecting the alarm contacts to a DVR or other device, observe that the
alarm type is programmed the same for both devices (N.O. or N.C.), the
TEMPAL
TM
ground ‘GND’ is connected to common or ground, and the
TEMPAL
TM
alarm output ‘ALM’ is connected to the other device’s alarm input.
ALARM CONTACT OUTPUT
The alarm output can be programmed to be either NORMALLY OPEN (N.O.) or NORMALLY CLOSED (N.C.)
To set the alarm output type, PRESS MENU repeatedly until the OUTPUT screen appears. While viewing the
OUTPUT screen press [+] to toggle between N.O. and N.C. The setting is automatically saved.
When set to N.C., the alarm output will be +5VDC when active (alarm), & 0VDC when inactive.
When set to N.O., the alarm output will be 0VDC when active (alarm), & +5VDC when inactive.
Screen 5 - Display screen shows live temperature.
To move location of display:
[+] = move temp display vertically
[-] = move temp display horizontally
SCREENSAVER MODE
This feature causes the temperature display to move in random motion within the screen boundaries. To
enable screen save mode, hold the [–] button down and tap the [+] once. Release the [–] button. Wait 2-3
seconds and the display will start moving. To disable screen save mode, hold the [–] button down and tap the
[+] once. Release the [–] button. Follow instructions for “Screen 7” (above) if a new display location is desired.
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The TEMPAL
TM
can be programmed to match readings of another temperature device, such as a commercial
gauge installed in a refrigerated room, a table top gauge, or other instrument. Before entering calibration mode,
ensure the TEMPAL
TM
sensor is in proximity to the temperature conditions the other device is reading. Power
on the TEMPAL
TM
and allow the sensors to adjust to the conditions. Once the TEMPAL
TM
temperature value
has leveled, enter the calibration mode.
