Frequently Asked Questions - Temp Alert TA-1 Winland

How often should I clean the Temp Alert TA-1 humidifier?

It is recommended to clean the water tank and base every week using a mixture of white vinegar and water. Rinse thoroughly before use.

Can I use essential oils in this humidifier?

No, the Temp Alert TA-1 is not designed for essential oils. Using them may damage the unit and void the warranty.

What type of water should I use?

Distilled or demineralized water is recommended to minimize mineral buildup. Tap water may cause white dust.

How do I replace the filter?

Turn off and unplug the humidifier. Remove the water tank, open the filter compartment, discard the old filter, and insert a new one. Replace every 3 months.

Why is the humidifier not producing mist?

Check if the water tank is empty, the unit is properly placed on a level surface, and the mist nozzle is not clogged. If the problem persists, clean the unit.

What does the 'Temp Alert' feature do?

The Temp Alert TA-1 monitors room temperature and humidity. It can send alerts if levels fall outside your set range, especially useful for sensitive environments.

How do I set the humidity level?

Use the touch panel to press the 'Humidity' button, then use +/- to set your desired level (usually 30-60%). The display will show the current and set humidity.

Is the humidifier safe to leave on overnight?

Yes, it has an auto shut-off timer and empty tank protection. Set the timer to your desired hours, and it will turn off automatically.

Can I use the remote control from another room?

The remote has a range of about 20 feet. It may not work through walls or large obstacles.

What should I do if I lose the remote?

The humidifier can be fully operated from the touch panel on the unit. A replacement remote can be purchased from Winland or authorized dealers.

INTRODUCTION

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.

LOCATION

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.

INSTALLATION

Items needed:

- Standard screwdriver · 11/32" wrench · 22-18 AWG twisted pair

STEP 1 - ATTACH TA-1 TO MOUNTING SURFACE

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.

To insure proper operation, test weekly.

STEP 2 - MAKING THE WIRING CONNECTIONS

Connect the TA-1 to your warning device by attaching a 22-18 AWG twisted pair cable from (2) front mounted terminals of the TA-1 to an open zone on your alarm panel, telephone dialer, wireless transmitter, etc. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

STEP 3 – SETTING THE HIGH AND LOW SET POINTS

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.

Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4

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.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use the TA-1 in a cooler or freezer. Frost buildup and moisture can cause the unit to malfunction. For cooler & freezer applications, use an EnviroAlert® device with a remote probe.
