Description

The Audio/Visual Alarm System is designed to give 
a visual and audible warning in cases where water 
temperature exceeds a pre-programmed setpoint.  In 
addition, the alarm system can control an optional 
solenoid valve, shutting down the flow of water if 
necessary.  The probe temperature is displayed on 
a bright 3-digit LED display, and access to the unit 
programming is done thru the password protected 
keypad on the front face.  A keylock switch is pro-
vided to override the audible alarm.

Installation

The Alarm System comes with a standard 120 VAC 
pigtail. The controller uses a SPDT relay powering the 
horn, and light, as well as an optional normally closed 
solenoid valve.  Please see Lawler Manufacturing, 
Inc. about approved solenoid valves to use with the 
alarm system so as not to overload the controller.  
Observe proper polarity when connecting to the ter-
minal block on the back panel of the enclosure. The 
wiring diagram can be found on page 3.

Upon powering the unit up the solenoid valve will 
open allowing the flow of water.  If the set point is 
exceeded, the valve will close, and the audible and 
visual alarms will come on.  The audible alarm can 
be bypassed with the keylock switch.  The unit will 
return to normal when the temperature goes below 
the sum of the set point and the high alarm minus the 
hysteresis.
