P/N 46-550 • REV B • 06JUN14 1 Learn Mode Freeze Sensor Installation Instructions Overview The ITI Learn Mode (LM) Freeze Sensor contains a thermal couple wired to a transmitter. The LM Freeze Sensor detects a furnace failure in a home or business. It activates a switch (thermal couple) when the surrounding temperature drops to ~45°F. After the sensor is tripped, a temperature between 55°F and 60°F is necessary for the device to send a restore signal. The LM Freeze Sensor: • Contains an RF transmitter capable of transmitting over 500 feet. • Is powered by a 3.5-Vdc lithium battery, which lasts 5-8 years. • Sends a Trouble (Low Battery) report to the CPU. • Sends a supervisory signal to CPU every 64 minutes. • Has an operating range of 10°F to 120°F. • Contains a built-in tamper switch. Remove the sensor cover to trip the switch. The sensor then transmits a Trouble signal to the CPU. • Has a tamper switch, which cannot be disabled. • Monitors an open area of about 900 square feet (30’ x 30’). Installation Considerations DO • Try to keep sensors within 100 feet of the CPU. The 100- foot distance recommendation is given as a starting guideline. The transmitter has an open-air range of over 500 feet, but the installation environment may affect this range. • Locate the sensor in an area that is likely to get cold first. • Locate the sensor on an interior wall where there is free movement of air. DO NOT • Locate the sensor in the same room as a furnace, water heater, or any other heat source that may stay warm after the furnace fails. • Locate the sensor on an outside wall or near the basement floor. • Place in areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring. These items may inhibit the sensor’s signals from reaching the CPU. • Place sensor in an area where it will be exposed to moisture. • Place the sensor in an area where the temperature will fall outside the sensor’s operating limits (10°F-120°F). Installation CAUTION: You must be free of all static electricity when handling transmitters. Touch a grounded metal object before handling the circuit board. Handle the circuit board by the edges and never set the circuit board on any metallic surface. 1. Press on the cover end to disengage the top of the cover from the slot in the sensor base, and then remove the transmitter cover. 2. Remove the circuit board from the transmitter base by pushing back on the base release tab. See Figure 1. 2 Learn Mode Freeze Sensor Installation Instructions Figure 1: Base release tab location 3. Place transmitter in sensor cover to protect circuit board against static damage. 4. Secure the sensor base to mounting surface by using #6 pan head screws or #18 x 1/2” wire nails (brads). If mounting on plaster, use the appropriate fasteners. Use the slotted mounting hole for alignment. See Figure 2. Figure 2: Mounting hole locations 5. Replace the sensor circuit board on the base. Place the reed switch end in first, then snap the board in place at the base release tab. 6. Do not replace the sensor cover at this time. Programming General guidelines for programming this divce are: 1. Set the CPU into Program Mode. 2. Trip the device’s tamper switch. See Figure 1. 3. Replace the sensor cover. Note: Refer to the appropriate CPU installation manual for specific instructions for programming device into the CPU. Testing General guidelines for performing a Dealer Signal Strength Test are: 1. Using the appropriate touchpad for the CPU, enter the applicable Dealer Sensor Test code. 2. Cool thermal couple with a piece of ice in a plastic bag. When the thermal couple reaches ~45°F, the transmitter sends an RF signal to the CPU. 3. Note the number of beeps from the CPU. These beeps indicate the device’s signal strength. 4. The device resets when the surrounding temperature reaches 55°F-60°F Regulatory information Manufacturer UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation, Inc. 1275 Red Fox Rd., Arden Hills, MN 55112-6943, USA FCC compliance This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

SCOPE For details on the Scopes of our Accreditations, please visit: http://www.nwemc.com/accreditations/ REV 2013.03.8 MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY Measurement Uncertainty When a measurement is made, the result will be different from the true or theoretically correct value. The difference is the result of tolerances in the measurement system that cannot be completely eliminated. To the extent that technology allows us, it has been our aim to minimize this error. Measurement uncertainty is a statistical expression of measurement error qualified by a probability distribution. A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document WP 342. The estimation is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement uncertainty (K=2) for each test is listed below. Our measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of the applicable specification; therefore, the test data can be compared directly to the specification limit to determine compliance. The calculations for estimating measurement uncertainty are based upon ETSI TR 100 028 (or CISPR 16-4-1 as applicable), and are available upon request. The following table represents the Measurement Uncertainty (MU) budgets for each of the tests that may be contained in this report.

The individuals and/or the organization requesting the test provided the modes, configurations and settings used to complete the evaluation. The actual test parameters are specified in the test data, this includes items such as investigated frequency range (scanned) and test levels. The testing methods and performance specifications, as well as the test site used for the evaluation are indicated in the test data. The test data represents the configuration / operating mode/ model that produced the highest emission levels as compared to the specification limit. DescriptionLast Cal. 9.0 1.0 0.15 - 30.0 0.2 (MHz)(kHz) 9.0 0.2 Manufacturer Peak DataQuasi-Peak DataAverage Data (kHz)(kHz) 10.0 Model The single, integral antenna to be used with the EUT was tested. The EUT was configured for un-modulated, CW operation at its single transmit frequency. The field strength of the transmit frequency was maximized by rotating the EUT, adjusting the measurement antenna height and polarization, and manipulating the EUT in 3 orthogonal planes (per ANSI C63.10:2009). A preamp and high pass filter were used for this test in order to provide sufficient measurement sensitivity. To derive average emission measurements, a duty cycle correction factor per 15.35(c) was utilized: Duty Cycle = On time/100 milliseconds (or the period, whichever is less) Where “On time” = N1L1 +N2L2 +.... Where N1 is the number of type 1 pulses, L1 is length of type 1 pulses, N2 is the number of type 2 pulses, L2 is the length of type 2 pulses, etc. Therefore, Duty Cycle = (N1L1 +N2L2 +...)/100mS or T, whichever is less. Where T is the period of the pulse train. The measured values for the EUT’s pulse train are as follows: Period = 100 mSec Pulsewidth of Type 1 Pulse = 0.9889 mSec Pulsewidth of Type 2 Pulse = 0.1274 mSec Pulsewidth of Type 3 Pulse = 0.4975 mSec Number of Type 1 Pulses = 1 Number of Type 2 Pulses = 58 Number of Type 3 Pulses = 1 Duty Cycle = 20 log [((1)( 0.9889) + (58)( 0.1274) + (1)(0.4975))/100] = -21.0 dB The duty cycle correction factor of – 21.0 dB was added to the peak readings to mathematically derive the average levels. Peak measurements were made with a resolution bandwidth of 100kHz and a video bandwidth of 300kHz for measurements at or below 1GHz. Above 1GHz, a resolution bandwidth of 1MHz and a video bandwidth of 3MHz was used. The field strength of the spurious emissions meet the limits as defined in 47 CFR 15.231(b). The spurious emissions also meet the provisions in 15.35 for averaging pulsed emissions and for limiting peak emissions. Further, spurious emissions meet the provisions of 15.205 using the measurement instrumentation specified in that section. oats Work Order:Date: Project:Temperature: Job Site:Humidity:Trevor Buls.jpg Serial Number:Tested by:Trevor Buls EUT:Learn Mode Freeze Sensor Configuration:2 UTC Fire and Security Attendees:None Battery Test SpecificationsTest Method Run #2Test Distance (m)3Antenna Height(s)Results EN 55022 (Amds.
