OVERVIEW

The two main functions of the TEMPAL

TM

• Overlay a display of temperature on a CCTV camera or other composite video source.

• Provide an alarm condition when temperature is outside the set range.

Place the TEMPAL

TM

in an area in which temperature monitoring is desired. Place the extendable 6’
temperature sensor probe in an area within reach of the case location. If using to monitor ambient temperature
readings, make sure the sensor is not touching an object such as a panel, wall, or is in the path of an air flow
that could influence the temperature value. Ensure that the maximum temperature values for the module case

0

(160

F) and the temperature sensor (1800F) are not exceeded. If a higher temperature probe is desired,

contact the manufacturer. The TEMPAL

TM

can also be used to automatically alarm if the temperature occurs
outside the user programmed range set. There are 2 alarm triggers which can be enabled or disabled
individually: High Temperature / Low Temperature.
