Temperature Extremes Sensor (model 64604/08) User Guide
The Temperature Extremes Sensor has been designed to detect two specific
temperature thresholds, ‘high’ and ‘low’ and in addition, to monitor a rate of
temperature rise (the speed at which the temperature changes).
The ‘high’ temperature threshold (95˚F (35˚C)) and temperature rise detection
are primarily used to indicate excessive temperatures occurring, for example,
within the kitchen.
The ‘low’ temperature threshold (36˚F (2˚C)) will alarm before potential freezing
hazard environmental changes occur and will warn of possible water pipe
bursts due to the cold temperature.
The Installer will position the Temperature Extremes Sensor to protect against
either high or low temperature conditions. Refer to installation section for
details.
If the Temperature Extremes Sensor detects a high or low temperature or a set rate of rise in temperature then an
alarm call will automatically be made by the receiving equipment to a control centre. An alarm call will also be made if
the Temperature Extremes Sensor detects that its battery is getting low.
General Maintenance.
The Temperature Extremes Sensor should be cleaned approximately every six months to ensure that the enclosure
remains free of dust, cobweb and grease. The Temperature Extremes Sensor can be dusted with a dry cloth or
vacuumed. A test alarm should be made following cleaning by activating the test switch.
It is recommended that a test call is made at regular intervals. DO NOT USE WATER OR A DAMP CLOTH
Battery Replacement
None of the batteries in the unit can be replaced by the user.
The product is NOT a Fire Detector.
The product must not be used as a Fire Alarm
The product must not be used as a Smoke Detector.
The Temperature Extremes Sensor can only activate its alarm when it detects low or high
temperatures. Please see the following page for these temperature settings. This alarm
will not detect smoke, flame or gas.
Reliance should not be placed on the Temperature Extremes Sensor product for life
safety or property protection.

Installation Guide - Location of the Temperature Extremes Sensor
The Temperature Extremes Sensor is intended for indoor use only.
The Temperature Extremes Sensor will operate only between 14˚ F to 131˚ F (-10˚ C to +55˚ C)
The Temperature Extremes Sensor can be positioned on a ceiling (maximum recommended height 8’6”/2.6m) or a wall.
It is recommended that the Temperature Extremes Sensor be fitted to the ceiling when monitoring temperature rates of
rise and the fixed upper temperature.
The Temperature Extremes Sensor must be positioned at an approximate central point on the ceiling, away from any
door or window and at least 6‘ (1.8 m) from the wall that the back of the cooker is fitted to. It should also be clear of any
light fitting. The Temperature Extremes Sensor, in any event must be mounted at least 12” (30cm) away from a wall or
corner.
If the ceiling is not practical or, the mounting surface may become considerably warmer or cooler than the room, such
as a poorly insulated ceiling, the Temperature Extremes Sensor may be mounted on the wall. It should be mounted
away from a window or door and between 6” and 12” (15 and 30cm) down from the ceiling / wall intersections.
It is recommended that the Temperature Extremes Sensor be fitted to the wall when monitoring cold conditions. For
monitoring cold conditions the Temperature Extremes Sensor must be located in close proximity (for example within
50cms) to the area or item being protected, preferably away from any draught and avoiding locations that could expose
it to accidental damage, i.e. being knocked or kicked.
Ensure that the Sensor location offers a good radio transmission path to the receiving equipment. This is not normally a
problem; however ensure that the Temperature Extremes Sensor is not mounted on or next to a metallic surface or
structure (cabinet).
The radio transmission path must be verified by holding the Sensor in the desired position and pressing the test switch,
accessible through one of the Sensor’s vents. An alarm call will be sent to the receiving equipment. These calls can be
cancelled at the receiving equipment. Receipt of this call will confirm adequate placement of the Temperature Extremes
Sensor.
Note that the Temperature Alarm Sensor must first be programmed into the receiving equipment prior to this test. Refer
to the Commissioning section.
If the receiving equipment is relocated within the room at any subsequent time, then the radio transmission path from
the Temperature Extremes Sensor must always be verified.
Installation of the Temperature Extremes Sensor
Prior to installation ensure that the Temperature Extremes Sensor has been programmed to the receiving equipment.
Refer to commissioning instructions.
Fit the three AAA Alkaline supplied batteries to the Temperature Extremes Sensor in the correct orientation.
Depiction of the correct battery orientation is moulded into the battery holder. (This must be undertaken prior to
programming the receiving equipment) The Temperature Extremes Sensor is fixed to a flat surface (wall or ceiling)
using the two screws provided. Two wall fixings (rawl plugs) are also provided, if required.
The boxed TES contains four enclosure screws, four corner caps, four mounting feet, two rawl plugs and two wood
screws. Two enclosure screws directly screw the base to the top. The other two enclosure screws fix the mounting feet
to the enclosure. Two corner caps fit on the corners where there are no mounting feet.
Ensure that the base is fixed securely to the mounting surface using the screws provided.
Whenever the unit is opened, ensure that the rubber pad in the base locates over the
batteries.

Battery Replacement
Three AAA size alkaline cells are used to supply power to the temperature sensor sub-assembly.
These batteries can be replaced every 18 months.
The AAA size batteries within the Temperature Extremes Sensor must be replaced within 21
days of a ‘TES Auto Low Batt’ alarm being received by the Control Centre.
All three AAA batteries must be replaced at the same time. Battery replacements must be of the
same type i.e. alkaline type, size AAA, IEC identification LR03.
Varta LR03, Duracell MN2400 or Panasonic AM-4PI are acceptable batteries.
Re-chargeable batteries must not be used.
To replace the batteries:
1. Remove the Temperature Extremes Sensor from the wall or ceiling. Remember the correct
orientation for refitting.
2. Lever off the two corner screw covers and remove the four enclosure fixing screws holding the
base to the enclosure lid and remove the base. Remember which corners have the mounting
feet fitted.
3. Replace all three batteries with the replacements as listed, taking care to observe the correct
battery polarity.
4. .Replace the four enclosure screws (two have mounting feet), refit the screw covers and fit the
Temperature Extremes Sensor back in its original position.
5. Ensure the Temperature Extremes Sensor is operating correctly by making a test call, utilising the Test Switch,
through to the Control Centre.
Commissioning
This section covers the commissioning of the Temperature Extremes Sensor and is provided for the Tunstall Engineer
or, suitably trained representative. It covers the ancillary equipment required to make the end to end system operation.
Programming the receiving unit
Follow the instructions for your receiving unit to enter programming and registration mode.
The Temperature Extremes Sensor can be activated by depressing the Test Switch (refer to the illustration – use a
paper clip or wire of less than 2mm diameter) for less than two seconds.
Exit from programming mode.
Notes:
For the ‘TES Auto Low Batt’ message to be brought to the operator’s attention the PNC3 Vision software release must
be 5.60 or greater and the Line Interface Module (LIM) Firmware must be 052V1R5.61 or greater. TT92 protocol MUST
