 Programming/Jumper Setting IssueJan 23, 2010
By Prairie Fire
The Skylink AD-433S Dialer kept calling every hour on the hour as soon as I associated the temperature sensor to the dialer. There is a section called "compatibility jumper" located in the instruction sheet. Make sure jumper J2 is in the correct position for the sensor to properly work with your dialer. This was mentioned by another reviewer but I thought I should add the annoyance of being called every hour if the jumper was not set correctly. Kind of an odd configuration issue.

Check the Englis InstructionsNov 16, 2009
By S. Hogan
The TS-101A works fine with the dialer and base unit as long as you use the English Instructions on the Skylink WEB Site. The English instructions that came with the product do not show that jumper J2 has to be plugged for it to work properly with the dialer and/or the SC-100 base unit.

Skylink Security SystemOct 16, 2010
By Chet in York PA
As with all the Skylink security items it is not a simple thing to set up and get operating. You need to read the instructions and re-read them before starting. I am a retired home builder who has done a lot of electrical work. The site indicated a few hours work to get the security system in operation. It took me 6 solid frustrating hours to get mine set up. The system does protect the house as addvertised. However the one item is said to be a smoke and CO2 detector,it is not. I called the manfacture and they do not even make a smoke & CO2 detector. This item senses the noise a seperate Smoke & CO2 device makes when it goes off? This system was the best price for the most coverage.

 Customer beware!Dec 03, 2010
By CiCi
The temperature shown on this sensor is about 2 degrees (Celsius) higher than the actual temperature. The sensor also responds incredibly slow to temperature changes. I called the Skylink customer service, got first confusing answers, then a supervisor and she said that this was normal. I couldn't believe what I heard and asked back several times but obviously Skylink knows that this unit shows temperatures at 2 degrees higher, and they find this perfectly okay. This is supposed to be part of a "security system" ???

 Skylink TS-101A Temperture Sensor Comes Up ShortMar 13, 2011
By Weatherbug
Just received the Skylink TS-101A, and am disappointed, as it comes up short when compared to the Amazon.com Webpage / Manufacturer's description for its' use and application. The intended application was to purchase a "stand-alone," programmable, temperature-monitoring unit that would sound-off when a pre-set temperature was surpassed; in short, let me know when equipment running in a very small computer and video room was getting too hot/or if its' Air Conditioner had failed. This type indoor application is well-within the product description and advertised capabilities for temperature range and features; and the unit even comes with a wired temperature sensor probe so you can run the probe through a wall (and keep the box and alarm in the adjacent hallway). This basic unit SHOULD solve basic heat monitoring and notifying needs if a room overheats, or as featured: monitor "...a green house, cottage, or livestock habitat." Not so....the included instructions cover only adding this "stand-alone" unit into other existing Skylink alarm equipment, remotes, sensors, keychain remotes, panels, etc. This devices' output, when self-triggered by a programmed over-temperature, is a single (LED) lamp blink, a pathetic barely-audible beep, and the click of an internal relay contact moving (once). For true stand-alone use, this monitor only works if hard-wired or used with secondary Skylink alarm dialer, panel, or alarm box). Additionally, the front panel has a RED, square button...with absolutely no explanation, printed instructions, illustrations, or notes for its use or benefit. Possibly this button is an over-ride control, or for testing, or even a reset or ????? Now I have to locate a hard-wired, latching alarm with reasonable sound output to use with this device; hopefully one that doesn't have to use a remote keychain transmitter, additional panel, 120 db alarm,or other dedicated add-on accessories. Trying to keep this project simple, but it's turning into more trouble than it's worth. Thinking of using a regular wall mounted heater thermostat and battery-powered bicyle horn instead of this.
In short, this isn't a stand-alone unit, in reality a single-pulse, battery-operated alarm system accessory, with poor instructions. It's not a stand-alone alarm device as described. Plan on puchasing this as an add-on to other existing equipment, or as part of a full alarm package at start-up; it is not a stand-alone alarm device as offered and as received. --Weatherbug.
