The TA44T Temperature Alarm is a single point or threshold type of temperature alarm.
This type of temperature alarm monitors the temperature at the sensor probe tip and when this
temperature passes above (or below) the set point, the unit will execute a preset operation.
DISPLAY
The unit’s display shows the current temperature, the alarm set point temperature, the alarm
state, and the mode of operation of the unit (over temperature or under temperature alarm).
When the probe temperature reaches the set point, the unit will display its state as follows:
• In delayed alarm state the ALARM icon and the Bell will flash.
• In the alarm state the ALARM icon and the Bell will remain solid. The Bell clapper will
flash. Audible alarm will sound and the N.O. relay contacts will close. The unit will
transmit an alarm code to the wireless receiver, causing the remote receiver to activate
its audible alarm.
• If the Silence button is pressed during alarm condition, the audible alarm will turn off
and the N.O. relay contacts will open. The Silence button on the TA44T does not turn
off the audible alarm on the remote receiver. To turn off the audible alarm on the remote
receiver, push the remote receiver’s Silence button.
NOTE:
This unit also has a concealed slide switch that allows for the alarm to be activated
immediately when the temperature has met the alarm threshold, if desired.
INSTALLATION AND REMOTE ALARM OPERATION
The TA44T may be mounted to any flat surface, in any position, using the two holes provided
at the top of the case or with the supplied adhesive pads. Avoid mounting in areas of excessive
humidity or temperatures outside the operating range of the TA44T.
The R10 receiver can be located up to 500 ft (150 m) from the transmitter. This is a line of
sight distance. This distance can change if there are obstacles between the transmitter and
the receiver. To test that the receiver receives alarm messages from the transmitter, press and
hold the Silence button on the transmitter, while not in alarm condition. While the Silence but-
ton on the transmitter is held, the receiver should sound the audible alarm. When the Silence
button is released, the audible alarm on the receiver should turn off.
When the R10 receiver sounds an alarm, this alarm can be silenced by pressing the silence
button on the receiver. When the receiver received the No Alarm signal from the transmitter,
the silence state is reset, and the receiver returns to normal operation.
SENSOR EXTENSION
The TA44T sensor probe is designed to measure air temperature and may be mounted in any
convenient location in the area to be monitored. The sensor probe may be extended up to 200
feet with any 24AWG stranded wire.
RELAY CONTACTS
The TA44T may be connected to a remote alarm accessory, using the relay contacts provided
under the Switch Cover. Connections are provided for Normally Open or Normally Closed Dry
Contacts. Dry Contacts mean that no electrical power is supplied to the contacts and power
for a remote alarm or other device must be supplied externally. When an alarm occurs the N.O.
relay contacts will close and remain closed as long as the alarm condition exists. The relay
contacts will open if the user hits the Silence Alarm button.
