Winland Electronics, Inc. (“Winland”) warrants to the end user/purchaser that each product of its manufacture shall be free from defects in material
and factory workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase, when properly installed and operated under normal conditions
according to Winland’s instruction.
Winland’s obligation under this warranty is limited to correcting, without charge, at its factory any part or parts thereof which shall be returned to
the factory, by the original purchaser, transportation charges prepaid, within one year of the date of purchase and which upon examination, shall
disclose to Winland’s satisfaction to have been originally defective. Correction of such defects by repair to, or supplying replacements for, defective
parts shall constitute fulfillment of all Winland’s obligations to purchaser under this limited warranty. Repair service performed by Winland after one
year from date of purchase will be for a reasonable service charge.
This limited warranty shall not apply to any of Winland’s products which have been subject to misuse, negligence or accident or which have been
repaired or altered outside of Winland’s factory. The warranty is void if the Product’s housing or cover is removed.
Winland shall not be liable for loss, damage or expense resulting, directly or indirectly, from the use of its products or any other cause.
This warranty shall be null and void in its entirety if: (i) the product is altered or modified in any way that is not consistent with the manufacturer’s
instructions, or (ii) the product is used with or connected to a device: (a) that such product is not intended to be used with or connected to, (b) is not
otherwise consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions, or (c) is not otherwise approved by the manufacturer.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSES, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING,
USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE. ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO THE END USER/PURCHASER BY ANY OTHER PARTY ARE ALSO EXCLUDED.
WINLAND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER
ARISING OUT OF WARRANTY OR OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Under no circumstances shall Winland’s liability
under this limited warranty exceed the purchase price paid by the end user/purchaser for the product.
No person, agent or dealer is authorized to give warranties on behalf of Winland nor to assume for Winland any other liability in connection with
any of its products.

WEEE Product Recovery/Recycling for EU Customers
In an effort to improve waste management in the European Union, the European Union has enacted directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE Directive). According to the WEEE Directive, Winland Electronics must take back waste electrical or electronic equipment
covered under the WEEE Directive, at its cost, for all product it puts on the market after July 1, 2006. The Return Process: Contact Winland via our web
site at www.winland.com.

Statement of Compliance:
Winland Electronics, Inc. hereby declares this device is in compliance with all the applicable Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC. This device is
considered a passive EM device and is thereby excluded from the scope of the EMC directive 89/336/EEC and Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.

For product disposal, ensure the following:
• Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
• Collect this product separately.
• Use collection and return systems available to you.

NTRODUCTION
The Temp ̊Alert ® has been designed for reliable monitoring of non-condensing (indoor only) environment
areas where high and low temperature limits are critical.
Select an acceptable temperature range by setting the adjustable high and low limit arms. If the monitored are
temperature either rises or falls to the limit arms, the temperature indicator will contact one of the limit arms.
This completes the circuit and provides you with a dry contact alarm signal. The TA-1 contacts are normally
open (N.O.) dry contacts rated at 50mA at 12 VDC . This output can be used to activate alarm systems, telephone
dialers, or other remote warning devices. Temp ̊Alert ® is the ideal addition for any security system.
L
OCATION
In specifying the location and number of TA-1s to install consider room size, effectiveness of the ventilation
system, and critical monitoring areas. If the building already has an energy management system, an easy rule
of thumb to follow is to install a TA-1 near each thermostat. It should be mounted on a wall or other vertical
surface in the area where temperature is to be monitored. Make sure it is well clear of windows, doors, or heat
sources that could cause an inaccurate reading of air temperature. When protecting a building against freeze
damage, always install at least one Temp ̊Alert ® on every level of the home or business.

Position the mounting template in the desired location and mark the mounting holes. Depending on the type
of surface you are mounting to, you may need to predrill holes to accept the mounting screws alone, or use the
plastic anchors and mounting screws. Drive the screws into the mounting surface, allowing approximately 3/16”
between the screw head and the mounting surface. (See Mounting Template below.) Engage the key slots on
the back of the TA-1 case with the screw heads and press down.

Each limit arm is controlled by an adjustment screw. To set a limit arm, slightly loosen the appropriate locknut
(turn counter clockwise) with a 11/32” wrench (See Figure 2). Next, use a screwdriver to set the limit arm to the
desired temperature limit (See Figure 3). Once the arm is in the proper setting locations, retighten the locknut
(turn clockwise) (See Figure 4). Avoid over tightening of the locknut. Repeat this process until both temperature
limits have been set. Make sure to retighten the locknut when temp limits have been set. The TA-1 will not
function properly if the locknut is not retightened.
To insure proper operation, test weekly.

To manually activate the TA-1 for testing, loosen the locknut of one limit arm and use a screwdriver to move
the limit arm toward the temperature indicator until it makes contact and temporarily tighten the locknut. If
installed correctly, this test procedure should activate the warning device to which the TA-1 is connected. After
testing, loosen the locknut, return the limit arm to its original set point and tighten the locknut. The same test
procedure should also be repeated with the second limit arm to verify proper operation.
