To install the WINLAND MTA-2 TempAlert Mechanical Temperature Monitor, follow these steps:

1. Determine the location: Consider the room size, ventilation system effectiveness, and critical monitoring areas. Install the MTA-2 near each thermostat if there is an energy management system in the building. Ensure it is away from windows, doors, and heat sources that could affect temperature readings.

2. Mount the base plate: Position the base plate on the mounting surface and mark the center point of the mounting holes. Use the included mounting screws to attach the base plate to the wall. If needed, predrill holes and use plastic anchors along with the mounting screws.

3. Set the high and low temperature limits: Each limit post is controlled by a locknut. Use a 5/16" nut driver or wrench to loosen the locknuts and slide the posts to the desired temperature settings. Once set, retighten the locknuts.

4. Make the wiring connections: Use three conductor stranded or solid wire to connect the MTA-2 to a control panel or dialer. Refer to Figure 3 in the manual for an example of a standard installation. Connect the high limit wire and low limit wire separately if you want differentiated notification outputs for high and low temperature occurrences.

5. Attach the front cover: Align the retaining tabs on the right edge of the case with the holes on the right edge of the base plate. Press hard with your thumb on the left end of the device and swing it back toward the base plate until it seats properly and the locking pin engages.

Please note that this is a general overview of the installation process. For more detailed instructions and illustrations, refer to the WINLAND MTA-2 TempAlert Mechanical Temperature Monitor User Manual.
