The Brinsea temperature alarm module offers immediate warning of change in temperature within an incubator or intensive care unit.
It relies on independent detection of incubator or intensive care unit temperature and includes an internal battery backup to allow the alarm to continue to sound in the event of a mains power failure.
The high and low temperature limits are adjustable and in most cases the alarm can be set to go off if the incubator temperature varies by 1.0ºF (0.5°C). Both the high and low limits are easily adjustable with screwdriver operated trimmers. The system is flexible and allows the user to set the alarm sound if the temperature in the incubator or intensive care unit deviates by +1.0ºF or -3.0ºF (for example) from any temperature within 77 - 104ºF range.
A 'Silence Alarm' feature allows the sounder to be de-activated for about 10 minutes - useful when opening the incubator to check eggs or animals. The sounder automatically resets after 10 minutes so there is no danger of the sounder being left inoperative by accident.
The internal battery backup allows the temperature alarm to continue warning of a mains failure for several hours. The backup battery is automatically recharged when reconnected to the mains.
The T20 can be fitted to any incubator or intensive care unit. It simply requires its sensor to be inserted into the enclosure through a hole of about ¼ inch (6mm) diameter.
