Answer:

400 Series Wine Storage and UW-24 Undercounter Wine Storage products have a temperature alarm that chimes when temperatures are too cold or too warm.

• The WS-30 is considered a 400 Series Wine Storage unit.
• The Wine Storage unit may be connected to a home security system using wiring identified for home security connections.
• The home alarm wires are connected to switches in the control board; one lead is NO (normally open) and the other NC (normally closed). A third lead is ground.
  • Having one NO and one NC switch defines their “idle” state.
  • When an event occurs, they change to their opposite state, which creates the error and alarm.
• The home security system company is typically responsible for connecting a Wine Storage product to the alarm system.
• In order to test the alarm, open the unit and allow it to warm to the setpoint that will trigger the alarm.
• An audible chime indicates temperature is below 32°F or 15°F (8°C) above the set temperature.
