TempTrak Sentry XP Instruction ManualKatchall Technology Group 2Revision AOwner’s RecordThe serial number for the TempTrak Sentry XP unit is located on the bottom of the plastic housing. Recordthe serial number in the space provided below. Refer to this number whenever you call upon your Katchalldealer regarding this product.Serial Number: TTE______________TTImportant Safety InstructionsWhen using the Temptrak Sentry XP 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 the plug-in power converter provided with the unit orthrough the internal battery backup system.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 XP unit can be operated in a backup manner (i.e. loss of primary power) via theinternal “coin” batteries provided with the unit. Observe the following instructions to avoid injury topersons or food products:1. Use only the batteries provided with the unit. These batteries can only be replaced at the factory.2. Do not dispose of Sentry XP units in a fire. The batteries contained on the board may explode.Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.Wireless OperationThe TempTrak Sentry XP unit communicates to the other devices in the TempTrak system via radiofrequency (RF) energy. Careful placement of the unit is required to insure consistent RF communicationswith other TempTrak devices. The following general considerations apply to placement of the TempTrakSentry XP unit:1. In general, the TempTrak Sentry XP unit will communicate with a TempTrak Commander orEcho unit at ranges up to 150 feet. This range applies only to clear line-of-sight transmission inwhich there are no physical obstructions between the TempTrak Sentry XP 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.2. The TempTrak Sentry XP 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 from
TempTrak Sentry XP Instruction ManualKatchall Technology Group 3Revision Awhich 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 à 150 feet1 wall à 75 feet2 walls à 50 feet3 walls à 35 feet4 walls à 25 feet5 walls à 15 feet3. Do not place the TempTrak Sentry XP unit near a cordless telephone base unit. Interference mayresult.4. Operation of cordless phones and cell phones in near proximity to the TempTrak Sentry XP unitmay result in interference.Information To The UserNOTE: The TempTrak Sentry XP 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 XP units into a fully operational TempTrak system.
