TMD-560 PG2 

Wireless PowerG Temperature Detector 

Installation Instructions

 

1. INTRODUCTION 

The TMD-560 PG2 is a wireless PowerG detector used with the PowerMaster alarm 
system. The detector is designed to update the alarm system control panel upon any 
change of temperature. The control panel then generates an alarm message when the 
temperature has reached a certain temperature point. A restore message is generated 
when it crosses back the threshold temperature point. There are a number of selectable 
fixed temperature points at the control panel and the user can enable one or more 
temperature point. The TMD-560 PG2 can be used in instances where temperature 
detection is critical. 
Other examples of detector usage are as follows: 

  Activating and deactivating pipe heaters at locations where low temperatures may 

cause the water in pipes to freeze. 

  Warn of possible electrical device malfunction due to high or low temperature levels.  

  Alerting elderly people of a significant rise or drop in room temperature.

TMD-560 PG2 with Temperature Probe

 

The TMD-560 PG2 detects both indoor and outdoor temperatures. The detector monitors room temperature using an internal sensor. For outdoor 
or refrigerator installations, a waterproof temperature probe (optional) is used.  
When the probe is connected, the temperature measurement is performed only by the probe sensor. When the probe is not connected and its 
terminals are shorted, the temperature measurement is performed only by the detector's internal sensor. 
Once the predefined temperature is reached, the alarm system control panel sends a notification to the central station or uses the PGM/X-10 
controls to switch on a connected appliance, for example, a heater or air conditioner. 

Note:

 When using the temperature probe to monitor refrigerator temperature, the temperature probe is installed inside the refrigerator, while the 

detector is installed on the wall or ceiling. For outdoor installations, the temperature probe is installed outdoors, while the detector is installed 
indoors. 

Based on the unique PowerG technology, the TMD-560 PG2 includes a "smart" anti- collision transmission sequence mechanism that prevents 
collisions with transmitted messages from other PowerG devices.  
For further reliability, the TMD-560 PG2 tamper switch is activated when the detector cover (see Figure 2) is removed. 
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. A weak battery will result in a “low battery” message

2. INSTALLATION, ENROLLING AND CONFIGURING 

2.1. Mounting and Battery Insertion 

1. 

Installation: 
The TMD-560 PG2 can be installed indoors on walls or on ceilings and in any direction. For installing outdoors or on refrigerators use the 
temperature probe (see Figures. 1 and 3). 
Mount the bracket in the monitored area as close as possible to the control panel to ensure optimum reception of the RF signal. 

If there is a short circuit between the two probe terminals (factory default) the detector measures the temperature using its internal sensor. If 

the probe terminals are not shorted, the internal sensor is disabled and the temperature is measured by the probe.  

Note:

 Open probe terminals generate a "Probe Disconnected Trouble" transmission.

 

2.

  Insert the battery between the battery clips (see Figure 2), at the correct polarity. 

For proper operation, only a Lithium battery (type CR123 

or equivalent) should be used. 

Note:

 

When replacing a battery,

 

it is necessary to wait 30 seconds between removing the used battery and inserting the new one.

 

Caution

! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
