Is there a operating temperature restriction for the GE45603 Z-Wave. Would minus 10F to minus 15F affect on and off operation?

Being that cold is most likely going to affect the z-wave performance. No mention of operating temperatures in the package that I can find.

You'll need a Z Wave controller. You can't program this unit without one. You can set temps, but no time variables. I use a Case Verde and link up though my home WAN. They're relatively inexpensive and fairly easy to program. Amazon sells these as well.

my research says yes using 400 + degrees. Use adjustable temp control. I have not tried the lead Free solder Geri

I'm not 100% because we were triggering something very low current. I want to say it was somewhere in the 10-15a range?

Not thermal, yes it will trip around 15A, if you breaker doesn't trip first.

And I don't think so. As far as I know the z-wave system only supports on or off status - it does not give a sensor for load.

I no longer have this unit although I am looking forward to purchasing another one--it got damaged in a recent move. I don't recall being able to set it to a specific temperature. From my recollection I believe you could set it from low to high or a range in between based on a dial but it never turns the unit off and on I don't believe, it just adjusts the radiant heat feature. I am responding from memory so I could be wrong.

No! TC-3 is on at 35 and off at 45 degrees...but there are others that will function as you need. YOu must make sure you get the correct one.

I don't need it to operate when the temp is above freezing. I got a thermostatically controlled plug which turns on at 20 and off at 30. Works great!

There is a dial numbered from 1-10 to control the temp. I bought two... one worked and the other didn't. The working one works very well.

According to the User's Manual for the 5100, the operating environment is a temperature range of 0 - 40 °C (+32-104 °F) and less than 85% humidity (no condensation).

I have not tried that temperature. I would be very concerned with that temperature as it is close to the boiling point of water and that could compromise the battery or digital controls.

No temp. control. Turn the switch on, wait a few seconds, hold the button down, then 10 seconds later it's probably 450F or more (my solder melts at 380F). I think it may get hotter than that, but you can't set or control it.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

No - The unit is preset and designed to operate if temperature falls below 45 deg F or rises above 85 deg F. Any attempt to alter the unit will void the warranty.

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...

Can't say about minimum controlled temperature. Upper temperature high enough to melt zinc. Beyond that, do not know.
