Product Summary
The freeze sensor detects low temperature conditions
which may indicate furnace failure. The sensor contains
a bimetallic thermal switch connected to a built-in trans-
mitter. When the surrounding temperature drops to
approximately 41°F (5°C), the sensor transmits an alarm
signal. When the surrounding temperature rises to 50°F
(10°C), the sensor transmits a restore signal.
Tools and Equipment Needed
•Slotted screwdriver
Installation Guidelines
Do...
•program and test the sensor before mounting it.
•install the transmitter within 100 feet (30.5 m) of the
control panel. Although the transmitter has an open-
air range of 500 feet (152 m), the effective indoor
range may be less.
•install the sensor in an area more likely to become
cold before other areas in the building; placing the
sensor in such an area ensures early warning.
•install the sensor on an interior wall near a continuous
air flow.
Do not...
•install the sensor in the same room as a furnace or
other heat source that stays warm after furnace failure.
•install the sensor on an outside wall or basement floor.
•install the sensor in an area with excessive metal or
electrical wiring.
•install the sensor in areas with excessive moisture.
•install the sensor where temperatures exceed the sen-
sor’s operating limits of 10° to 120°F (-12° to 49°C).
Programming
The following steps provide a general guideline for pro-
gramming (learning) the freeze sensor into panel mem-
ory. Refer to specific panel installation instructions for
complete programming details.
Programming for Simon®Panels:
1. Set your control panel to Program mode.
2. Proceed to Learn Sensors menu.
3. Remove the sensor’s outer cover by pressing the cover
release button located on the end of the sensor.
4. Press and hold the plastic tab marked Press to Pro-
gram until the control panel confirms programming.
5. Replace the sensor’s outer cover.
6. Select sensor group and sensor number assignments.
7. At the panel, exit Program mode.
Programming all other GE Panels:
1. Set your control panel to Program mode.
2. Proceed to Learn Sensors menu.
3. Select sensor group and sensor number assignments.
4. Remove the sensor’s outer cover by pressing the cover
release button located on the end of the sensor.
5. Press and hold the plastic tab marked Press to Pro-
gram until the control panel confirms programming.
6. Replace the sensor’s outer cover.
7. At the panel, exit Program mode.
Note
Refer to specific Quick Bridge® Loop Receiver documents
for additional programming information.
Testing
The following steps provide a general guideline for test-
ing the freeze sensor. Refer to specific panel installation
instructions for complete testing details.
1. Set your control panel to Sensor Test mode.
2. Trip the sensor by pressing and holding the plastic tab
marked Press to Program for at least one second.
3. Listen for appropriate sirens as described in the panel
installation instructions. The sirens indicate the num-
ber of signals the panel has received from the sensor.
Installation
This section describes how to install the sensor after suc-
cessful programming and testing.
1. Secure sensor base to a clean, dry, nonporous mount-
ing surface using the double-sided tape.
Or follow steps 2-4 to secure sensor base with screws.
2. Remove the sensor’s cover by pressing the cover
release button on the end of the sensor.
3. Remove batteries and access the mounting holes.
4. Use the included screws to secure sensor base at each
mounting hole location (see Figure 1). Remember to
use an achor if mounting sensor on drywall or plaster.
Note
Mounting Hole #2 may not be accessible on all models.
5. Install the AAA batteries and replace cover.
