TMD-560 PG2

Wireless PowerG Temperature Detector

1. INTRODUCTION

The TMD-560 PG2 is a wireless PowerG detector used with the PowerMaster alarm
system. The detector is designed to update the alarm system control panel upon any
change of temperature. The control panel then generates an alarm message when the
temperature has reached a certain temperature point. A restore message is generated
when it crosses back the threshold temperature point. There are a number of selectable
fixed temperature points at the control panel and the user can enable one or more
temperature point. The TMD-560 PG2 can be used in instances where temperature
detection is critical.
Other examples of detector usage are as follows:

 Activating and deactivating pipe heaters at locations where low temperatures may

cause the water in pipes to freeze.

 Warn of possible electrical device malfunction due to high or low temperature levels.
 Alerting elderly people of a significant rise or drop in room temperature.

The TMD-560 PG2 detects both indoor and outdoor temperatures. The detector monitors room temperature using an internal sensor. For outdoor
or refrigerator installations, a waterproof temperature probe (optional) is used.

When the probe is connected, the temperature measurement is performed only by the probe sensor. When the probe is not connected and its
terminals are shorted, the temperature measurement is performed only by the detector's internal sensor.

Once the predefined temperature is reached, the alarm system control panel sends a notification to the central station or uses the PGM/X-10
controls to switch on a connected appliance, for example, a heater or air conditioner.

Note: When using the temperature probe to monitor refrigerator temperature, the temperature probe is installed inside the refrigerator, while the
detector is installed on the wall or ceiling. For outdoor installations, the temperature probe is installed outdoors, while the detector is installed
indoors.

Based on the unique PowerG technology, the TMD-560 PG2 includes a "smart" anti- collision transmission sequence mechanism that prevents
collisions with transmitted messages from other PowerG devices.

For further reliability, the TMD-560 PG2 tamper switch is activated when the detector cover (see Figure 2) is removed.
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. A weak battery will result in a “low battery” message.

2. INSTALLATION, ENROLLING AND CONFIGURING

2.1. Mounting and Battery Insertion

1. Installation:
The TMD-560 PG2 can be installed indoors on walls or on ceilings and in any direction. For installing outdoors or on refrigerators use the

temperature probe (see Figures. 1 and 3).
Mount the bracket in the monitored area as close as possible to the control panel to ensure optimum reception of the RF signal.

If there is a short circuit between the two probe terminals (factory default) the detector measures the temperature using its internal sensor. If
the probe terminals are not shorted, the internal sensor is disabled and the temperature is measured by the probe.

Note: Open probe terminals generate a "Probe Disconnected Trouble" transmission.

2. Insert the battery between the battery clips (see Figure 2), at the correct polarity. For proper operation, only a Lithium battery (type CR123
or equivalent) should be used.
Note: When replacing a battery, it is necessary to wait 30 seconds between removing the used battery and inserting the new one.
Caution! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Define whether or not the control panel will report a "very hot" alert when the temperature rises above 35C (95F)
for at least 10 minutes. Alert restore will occur when the temperature drops below 34C (93F) for the duration of
10 minutes.

Options: Disabled (default) or Enabled.

Note: The temperature must pass beyond the threshold for the required duration in order to generate an alarm or restore transmission.

2.4. Temperature Display

For instructions on displaying the temperature of zones on the control panel as measured by TMD-560 detectors, refer to the PowerMaster
Installer Guide, section 4.2 "Conducting a Periodic Test".

3. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST

Before testing, separate the base from the cover (see Figure 2).

A. Press the tamper switch once and release it.
B. After 2 seconds the LED blinks 3 times.

The following table indicates received signal strength indication.

LED response Reception

Green LED blinks Strong

Orange LED blinks Good

Red LED blinks Poor

No blinks No communication

C. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal (undisturbed) position, and then secure the front cover to the base with the case

closure screw.

IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the
device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received.
Note: Since the cover is removed and power is applied, a tamper situation exists. Verify that the TMD-560 PG2 transmits (the LED lights briefly).

When you are satisfied that tamper alert is transmitted properly, close the TMD-560 PG2 front cover on to return the tamper switch to its normal
position. Then, secure the front cover to the base with the case closure screw.

Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer Guide.
