Will the MA-S01 work at low temperatures?

We are in Australia and have been using these alarms summer and winter, lowest here would have been -2 degrees. As long as you use non rechargeable batteries they should work fine

Ralph, my records show that the lowest temp we've had here in Sandoval County, NM since I installed the MA-S01 is 8F on January 13 this year. I don't believe low temps should be a concern and I the unit will work in conjunction with their freeze alarm which is rated at -50F to +300F (probably it's melting point). My only concern would be the batteries. I haven't replaced mine since installing in early January but I know that low temps affect battery performance. I've been completely satisfied with my unit and have had no problems. I put mine in a corner of my shop and the only caution I would observe is to not put or hang objects in front of the unit. My shop gets a bit cluttered at times and I have a tendency to hang bar clamps from a shelf in front of the unit. Bad idea. I entered the shop one day and because it didn't beep immediately I forgot until the alarm triggered. This was because the unit was playing peekaboo from behind the clamps. Great unit for the price, but I wasn't that impressed with the volume of the siren. It would probably send an intruder running but likely wouldn't wake me.

Works great here in MS. Our average low temp is about 28-30 degrees. My BTC has snapped pics in single digit temps also.

It works great, however, if the outside air temp is below 10-15 degrees fahrenheit or so, the unit will not work. So, when it's really, really cold out, for some reason the system has a safety mechanism that prevents it from working. Sounds crazy, but true. Once the day warms up enough, it kicks back on.

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

I live in Vermont... It's cold here... last winter we were frequently in the -15°F range... These operate on watch batteries - 2nd winter running and I haven't changed them yet. My only suggestion is be careful mounting them with screws, if it's cold and you over-tighten the screw you crack the mounting plate.

it should work fine on a low setting, i would start out low and slowly increase the temp as needed.

Absolutely. In fact, that's exactly why I purchased this STC-1000 unit and it has been working like a charm ever since I installed it a couple months ago. Highly recommended for your application. Bear in mind, it only displays temperature in Celcius (not a problem for most of the world) but, even so, it's a cinch to get this working. You'll also need a normal wall outlet and some type of project box but again, it's really pretty easy.

The temperature range on the Super-Fast Mini is -40 degrees F to 302 degrees F or -40 degrees C to 150 degrees C. That's according to factory specs, but I had mine read a temperature of up to 380 degrees F.

The description does not say that. I think if you live under climate where the temperature do not drop under the freezing temperature it will work.

I had problems in cold weather (40 deg F) when I ran it on a 15 amp circuit--it would just hum and trip the breaker, and I'd have to cycle it on and off quickly before I finally got it to run. I ran it the same day on a 20 amp circuit and it worked just fine.

I have not used them in an area colder than 50F, but being an LED light, these should work fine well below zero.

Mine worked fine @ 10 below zero don't have specs. with me but saw where someone else gave them..

I live in Los Angeles so we dont encounter freezing out here but there is no issue with plus 100 degrees as this isnt a plug-in and resistance is in proportion to speed. Lovely machine. My first AirDyne was used for more than 15 years

I live in az... So cold weather for us is 35f.... It does state in the manual not to operate below about 30ishF (I remember reading it).... As far as tripping breakers: it works fine on a 15A 110v circuit witha stereo plugged in as well.... So maybe it pulls 10A peak when it starts at most... Hope this helps...

no to all three questions. Mine would not record sub zero temperatures, even the replacement

It works fine below 0C as long as you don't flex the plastic very much. Cold temps don't damage the plastic so you should be fine in static applications down to -20C and probably lower. I wouldn't use it above the 250C on the upper end, though.

Wish I could help, but I returned my unit because it was DOA.I replaced it with a Duxtop 8100MC. I don't think the temp goes that low.
