The professional looking MTA-1 Mechanical Temp Alert adds reliable and economical temperature protection to your residential or commercial security system* or Sensaphone Autodialer. The design can be used anywhere the monitoring of high and low temperature limits is critical. The unit allows you to separately zone out high and low temperature alarm signals. Simply select an acceptable temperature range by setting the adjustable high and low limits from +32°F to +100°F (0­ to +38°C). If temperatures in the monitored area rise above or fall below the set limits, the temperature indicator contacts one of the preset limit arms providing a dry contact closure, which can like a switch be used to turn on an existing alarm panel, telephone communicator, or wireless alarm system.

*If used with a WisDom Wireless Security System, you can either wire it direct to the panel, or attach it to a Universal Transmitter.

Important: Install a Temp Alert on every level of your home or business to adequately protect against freezing. Do not use an MTA for freezer or cooler monitoring. Instead use a Sensaphone with a weatherproof temperature probe (FGD-0101, FGD-0102) or an FGD-0107 glass bead vial sensor (preferred).
