The MBWA-1 Digital Alarm & Light Management System
Now you can monitor your walk-in with electronic precision and ease using the optional factory-installed MBWA-1 walk-in alarm/light management system. Replace less accurate mechanical thermometers, separate alarms and light switches with this one convenient unit. The MBWA-1 is designed to save energy with its door open alarm as well as its internal light timer which automatically switches off the light. There’s also a panic alarm to ensure safety. Other features include an LED temperature display, high/low temperature alarms with delays, an optional occupancy sensor and an optional battery back-up.
Features and Benefits:
1) Temperature Alarms:
● Both high and low alarm points can be easily set from the front keypad
● Alarm delays can be set from 0 to 255 minutes
● Alarm will re-set when the temperature returns to normal range
● “HA”or “LA” will flash on the display along with the actual temperature
● An 8A terminal can operate an outboard buzzer, light or even a phone dialer
● The keypad can be programmed to turn off the alarm by pressing the UP key
● Standard probe lengths are five ft., 50 ft. and 75 ft., can be extended up to 300 ft.
2) Door Open Alarm: (Leaving the walk-in door open for extended periods is the biggest energy waster. Simply closing the door eliminates this waste.)
● Alarm can be set with a delay from 0 to 255 minutes
● The “dA” alarm will flash along with the actual temperature
● Audible alarm will also sound
● Closing the door turns off the alarm
● Any standard door switch will work
3) Light Management Option: (Next to leaving the door open, leaving the lights on is the second biggest energy waster)
● Light can be turned on from the keypad
● The timer can be set to turn the light off automatically from one to 255 minutes
● Light can be turned on just by opening the door and will turn off automatically
● Add an occupancy sensor and the light will turn on when someone is present and turn off
automatically after a programmed time delay
● Able to control up to 2000 watts of lighting
4) Temperature Readout:
● Via bright red LEDs with a range from -40 to 230°F
● The display update time can be set from one second to 4½ minutes. This better reflects product
temperatures typically with a two to three minute delay. It also prevents false alarms.
5) Panic Alarm Option:
● Required by some local ordinances in case of entrapment or trouble inside the walk-in
● When initiated, a super-bright LED on the display will illuminate along with the “Pan” display
alternating with the actual temperature
● Interior panic button included
6) Battery Backup Option:
● Battery connector cable must be ordered separately
● 9V battery not included
● During the operation of the unit with the 9V battery (in case of power failure) the display, temperature and door alarms all function on the panel
● Does not provide enough power to operate the lights or the alarm buzzer, light or phone dialer
operated by the 8A terminal
