Customer Review: Chaney Freezer Alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
Product arrived promptly (2 or 3 days) and is working fine. Having lost over $500 worth of food when my old freezer quit (no alarm), product is well worth the modest price. I use it to monitor 2 freezers.Customer Review: Chaney Instrument 00985 Temperature Alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
Chaney Instrument 00985 Temperature Alarm works better than expected for local low-impact equipment and room temperture monitoring. I purchased this item to monitor and alert an air conditioner failure in small computer equipment room, and it does the basic job very well! Economical to purchase and easy to install when compared to other Hi-Tech alarm sensor and alarm systems that are out there, this battery-operated unit has two separate and independent zone-monitoring capabilities, digital readouts, and min-max temperature data storage. Each alarm can be programmed to sound-off the built-in tone alarm warning at different temperatures. The main receiver/monitor panel is wireless, in turn has two remotely-located wireless wall-mounted transmitters (that can be placed into different areas), uses common AA and AAA alkaline batteries, and allows two different physical zones to be temperature monitored with custom-programmable temperature values.
Originally designed to read-out separate refrigerator and separate freezer compartment temperatures and notify when these temperatures are exceeded; I was able to use this system to monitor both a computer room and next-door photocopier room using the same main panel, but programmed-in two different temperature ranges. The computer room is now set-up to monitor the performance of a small dedicated built-in air conditioner pre-set at 67 deg F. The Chaney Alarm is set to sound-off if the room temperature goes either below 62 degrees F / or heats up over 70 degrees F (this is zone #1). The photocopier room is set up to be monitored when its temperature exceeds 78 degress (this is zone #2). The Chaney Alarm has a built-in alarm sound-off delay of 15 minutes, which prevents false alarms from sounding when an area door is opened or momentarily left open to service equipment, access supplies, or if a sudden (short time) change in room temperature should occur such as with heater or AC cycling.
The two wireless transmitters are each separately placed inside the 2 rooms, and each is wall mounted using a standard screw. The receiver panel is located on the other side of the wall from the 2 transmitters, approximatley 5 feet away. Current temperatures for each of the two room zones are continuously displayed on the main receiver panel along with Minimum and Maximum Room Temperatures. The alarm tone is very noticeable (like a microwave oven tone) but is not ear-splitting as is the case with some formal or wired alarm devices. This system does not auto-dial an outside phone number, doesn't offer a recorded message, doesn't hook-up to a larger alarm system, transmit information over long distances, or sound a large outside bell as do some systems.
However, for the purposes of monitoring the temperatures of 1-2 rooms, 1-2 small zones, monitoring equipment compartment temperatures; or as an econonomical approach to wireless local monitoring (with Human responders sitting or working close-by); the Chaney 00985 unit is a very good equipment purchase. Weatherbug.
Customer Review: Chaney Monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased to monitor 2 freezers that are 60 feet apart. Though the manufacturer says that the display can be as far as 100 feet from the sensors I find that with intervening walls and doors the distance is reduced to about 40 feet. Found a convenient location half-way between both freezers and all works well. A great temperature monitoring system that can be used to monitor 2 freezers, 2 refrigerators or 1 of each.Customer Review: Chaney Refrigerator Thermometer

I'm very satisfied with the accuracy which I tested against a calibrated thermocouple. Always within a couple of degrees F. Haven't needed to try at any distance but had no trouble through refrigerator doors. Went with lithium batteries in both sensors.Customer Review: Chaney Thermometer

Do not buy this. Readings are wrong. If you need to depend on the right temp this is not for you.....
