TempTrak Sentry Instruction ManualKatchall Technology Group 2Revision AOwner’s RecordThe serial number for the TempTrak Sentry unit is located on the plastic dome. Record the serial number inthe space provided below. Refer to this number whenever you call upon your Katchall dealer regarding thisproduct.Serial Number: TTA______________TTImportant Safety InstructionsWhen using the Temptrak Sentry unit, observe the following safety instructions:1. Read and understand all instructions.2. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Avoidgetting moisture on the electronic connections.3. Do not submerge the product in a liquid. Damage to the electronics will occur. Enclose the devicein a watertight plastic container prior to placing the unit in a moist environment.4. Securely fasten the unit to a wall, shelf, etc. Failure to do so may result in the unit falling to theground, possibly damaging the product.5. This unit should only be powered by a standard 9V battery or via the plug-in power converterprovided with the unit.6. Do not locate this unit where the power cord may become a tripping hazard.7. Do not disassemble the product. Contact your Katchall dealer if problems arise in the operation ofthe unit.The TempTrak Sentry unit can be operated with a 9V battery. Observe the following instructions to avoidinjury to persons or food products:1. Use only standard 9V batteries.2. Do not dispose of spent batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possiblespecial disposal instructions.3. Carefully handle the battery when inserting or removing from the plastic enclosure in order not toshort the battery. The battery may overheat and cause burns.Wireless OperationThe TempTrak Sentry unit communicates to the other devices in the TempTrak system via radio frequency(RF) energy. Careful placement of the unit is required to insure consistent RF communications with otherTempTrak devices. The following general considerations apply to placement of the TempTrak Sentry unit:1. In general, the TempTrak Sentry unit will communicate with a TempTrak Commander or Echounit at ranges up to 150 feet. This range applies only to clear line-of-sight transmission in whichthere are no physical obstructions between the TempTrak Sentry unit and the TempTrakCommander unit. A simple way to insure line-of-sight transmission is to verify that you canphysically see one unit when standing at eye level with the other unit.
TempTrak Sentry Instruction ManualKatchall Technology Group 3Revision A2. The TempTrak Sentry unit will communicate with other TempTrak devices through walls. Therange at which communication through a wall can be achieved is a function of the materials fromwhich the wall is constructed. Any solid metallic materials greater than 1 square foot in areawithin the direct transmission path will block the RF transmissions. In general, the following ruleof thumb can be used for transmission ranges through interior walls (drywall construction isassumed, actual performance will vary significantly due to differences in construction material andtheir subsequent impact on RF transmission):0 walls ! 150 feet1 wall ! 75 feet2 walls ! 50 feet3 walls ! 35 feet4 walls ! 25 feet5 walls ! 15 feet3. Do not place the TempTrak Sentry unit near a cordless telephone base unit. Interference mayresult.4. Operation of cordless phones and cell phones in near proximity to the TempTrak Sentry unit mayresult in interference.Information To The UserNOTE: The TempTrak Sentry unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class Bdigital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and canradiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may causeharmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will notoccur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televisionreception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encourage to try tocorrect the interference by one or more of the following measures:1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver isconnected.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Caution To User: changes or modifications to this equipment that are not expressly approved by the partyresponsible for FCC compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.System OperationPlease refer to the TempTrak system operations manual for detailed instructions on how to place andintegrate TempTrak Sentry units into a fully operational TempTrak system.
