Limited Warranty The liability of tekmar under this warranty is limited. The
Purchaser, by taking receipt of any tekmar product (“Product”), acknowl-
edges the terms of the Limited Warranty in effect at the time of such Product
sale and acknowledges that it has read and understands same.
The tekmar Limited Warranty to the Purchaser on the Products sold hereunder
is a manufacturer’s pass-through warranty which the Purchaser is authorized
to pass through to its customers. Under the Limited Warranty, each tekmar
Product is warranted against defects in workmanship and materials if the Prod-
uct is installed and used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions, ordinary
wear and tear excepted. The pass-through warranty period is for a period of
twenty-four (24) months from the production date if the Product is not installed
during that period, or twelve (12) months from the documented date of installa-
tion if installed within twenty-four (24) months from the production date.
The liability of tekmar under the Limited Warranty shall be limited to, at tekmar’s
sole discretion: the cost of parts and labor provided by tekmar to repair defects in
materials and/or workmanship of the defective product; or to the exchange of the
defective product for a warranty replacement product; or to the granting of credit
limited to the original cost of the defective product, and such repair, exchange or
credit shall be the sole remedy available from tekmar, and, without limiting the
foregoing in any way, tekmar is not responsible, in contract, tort or strict prod-
uct liability, for any other losses, costs, expenses, inconveniences, or damages,
whether direct, indirect, special, secondary, incidental or consequential, arising
from ownership or use of the product, or from defects in workmanship or materials,
including any liability for fundamental breach of contract.
The pass-through Limited Warranty applies only to those defective Products
returned to tekmar during the warranty period. This Limited Warranty does not
cover the cost of the parts or labor to remove or transport the defective Product, or
to reinstall the repaired or replacement Product, all such costs and expenses being
subject to Purchaser’s agreement and warranty with its customers.
Any representations or warranties about the Products made by Purchaser to its
customers which are different from or in excess of the tekmar Limited Warranty are
the Purchaser’s sole responsibility and obligation. Purchaser shall indemnify and
hold tekmar harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities and damages
of any kind or nature which arise out of or are related to any such representations
or warranties by Purchaser to its customers.
The pass-through Limited Warranty does not apply if the returned Product has
been damaged by negligence by persons other than tekmar, accident, fire, Act
of God, abuse or misuse; or has been damaged by modifications, alterations or
attachments made subsequent to purchase which have not been authorized by
tekmar; or if the Product was not installed in compliance with tekmar’s instructions
and/or the local codes and ordinances; or if due to defective installation of the
Product; or if the Product was not used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WHICH THE GOVERNING LAW ALLOWS PARTIES TO CONTRACTU-
ALLY EXCLUDE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABIL-
ITY OR DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT, ITS NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY
RELEVANT PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS, AND ITS COMPLIANCE WITH OR NON-
VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY LEG-
ISLATION; THE TERM OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY NOT HEREBY CONTRAC-
TUALLY EXCLUDED IS LIMITED SUCH THAT IT SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND
TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS FROM THE PRODUCTION DATE, TO THE EXTENT
THAT SUCH LIMITATION IS ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW.
Product Warranty Return Procedure All Products that are believed to have
defects in workmanship or materials must be returned, together with a written
description of the defect, to the tekmar Representative assigned to the territory in
which such Product is located. If tekmar receives an inquiry from someone other
than a tekmar Representative, including an inquiry from Purchaser (if not a tekmar
Representative) or Purchaser’s customers, regarding a potential warranty claim,
tekmar’s sole obligation shall be to provide the address and other contact informa-
tion regarding the appropriate Representative.

Note: This sensor is capable of measuring temperatures beyond the range of some controls. A higher than measureable
temperature is displayed as a short circuit while a lower than measurable temperature is displayed as an open circuit.
Compare the sensor’s resistance with the table above at these extremes to determine the true measured temperature.
