Freeze Alarms
Thermostats and Temperature Sensors can also be used to report potential freeze conditions before damage to pipes and appliances can occur. An alarm is activated when any Thermostat or Temperature Sensor detects a temperature below 40 degrees. The alarm will not clear until the temperature exceeds 45 degrees.
When the alarm is initiated, the console beeper will be turned on and an alarm
The sounder is not activated for freeze alarms (this feature must be activated by your installer).
Outdoor Temperature
HMS Outdoor Temperature Sensors are available. Outdoor Temperature Sensors may be mounted outdoors to read the outdoor temperature. The outdoor temperature will not generate freeze alarms.
Outdoor temperature zones have a High and Low temperature associated with them that can be used for control purposes. An example of this is to program the system to turn on the bathroom heat if the outdoor temp goes below 45 degrees.
Temperature Control of Appliances
You can control appliances connected to
High and Low setpoints for temperature zones are set in the system. On/Off control of the ceiling fan is done from the 1 (CONTROL) menu. Use the ceiling fan's unit number to turn it On or Off. The Temperature Sensor and the ceiling fan are linked together by an event button program.
Temperature Alarms
Temperature Sensors can be used to signal that a temperature (in a special room, like a greenhouse or wine cooler) has gotten too high or too low. If the temperature in this zone goes above the High setpoint or below the Low setpoint, the console beeper is activated (inside and outside sirens are not activated) and the central station and/or voice dialer is called.
Use the zone number that the Temperature Sensor is connected to in place of the unit number.
NOTE: Setting a High or Low temperature to 0 takes it out of service.
Humidity

High and low humidity limits can be set for taking action (i.e. turning on the bathroom vent fan, running a/c in
