how cold can the temperature and still use vulkem 116 on outside windows

Tremco recommends application of this product @40 degrees F or above. For cold weather use, Tremco has a PDF instruction download. I used a hot blow dryer set on low inside the box of caulking tubes.

I installed the EX22CN in my 20X18 family room that was an addition to the main house. I have normal 8 foot ceiling and moderate insulation. The room also has 4- 4'X4' casement windows that are starting to show their age. I installed it in March of this year so I have not gone through below zero weather yet, only high 20's temperature. Having said that, I have not seen the wall heater run at full capacity yet (heat ouput modulates based on demand) and has kept the room very comfortable. hope this helps.

I purchased two of these and use them to control outside lighting. The did well down to about 20 degrees, it doesn't get much colder here.

Hi Alan,I don't know. We never have cold weather here. It works fine in our shop, which seldom gets below 60 degrees.

It depends on the temperature outdoors. I used this in my office/studio which is about 20x20 and it was fine unless the outside temperatures dropped below 25 F. I generally prefer cool rooms, so never had the temperature set above 68 F.

My sensor is in my house so it's never exposed to "very cold weather." But our outside winter temps get into the 20's and teens at night and this has never set it off. But I keep the temps inside around 68 degrees.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

I used it all last winter in Northeast Ohio. Had many nights below 10° below zero. It was under a roof but side of building open to outside. Worked well ..... You do have to top off every few days due to evaporation....

This is the 6th of these I have installed in varying garage and shop sizes and locations. Each has performed flawlessly for my intended purpose of keeping gear and equipment from cold damage. I hold at about 50-55 degrees F when I'm not actively in the space.

I use it in a barrel room (wine) that is kept at 60-65 degrees and 70% humidity and it has worked well for a year now.I agree with TSpreitzer about indoor use. It certainly cannot be trusted if exposed to rain and snow. I would also consider replacing the outdoor 110v outlet you will plug this into with a GFCI outlet.

I use mine in the garage but it doesn't get as cold in Colorado as it does in Minnesota. However, I can't think of why it wouldn't work.

I live in Panama City Beach Florida and therefore can not answer your question properly. I ise mine during and after tropical storms and heavy rains to protect my property. I can not speak to you about cold temperature applications. Sorry.

Well, I can;t say that I've noticed any heat generated by it whatsoever. If I had to guess, I'd say it pretty much remains at ambient temperature. If you mean what temperatures can it operate in, I have mine installed on the exterior of my house in Reno, NV. Temperatures range from -20F to 110F. I'd say it will operate in most conditions. The important thing is to install it where it is protected from direct rain and sun (under an eave). Even so, and especially if it does get direct rain, make sure and use clear water soluble exterior caulking around the screws that fasten the top of the unit. Just swab the caulking around each screw prior to threading it into the hole. This should make sure any water or humidity stays outside of the unit.

Thanks for the good question. Our company is based in New Hampshire and we always test our cameras in our own climate that can have a few winter nights down to -10 degrees F and an occasional summer day above 100 degrees. For colder temperatures, we have checked with our customers in Minnesota as well as Alaska and Canada. The specified temperature range, like all commercial (non-military) electronics, is - 4 degrees F to + 140 degrees F. Please note that is the only temperature range that we support officially. We understand than in Minnesota it gets colder than that. As long as the camera stays on continuously and is never turned off, the camera's own self-heating should allow the inside of the camera to stay above -4 F even if it gets down to -20 F outside. If you are in an area that gets winter nights below -20 F, you would need to remove the sunshade of the camera (with 2 screws) and then wrap insulation around the camera's cylindrical body. Then, as long as the camera isn't turned off, in our experience you're good to -35 degrees F. However, this camera would not be suitable for temperatures of -40 degrees F or if you plan to turn the camera off and on. It might be possible to use some stick-on electrical heating pads similar to the types that are used to keep car or generator batteries at a reasonable temperature, and we're just mentioning that without implying that any use of the camera outside the official temperature range is supported by Sharx Security. Does this answer your question ?

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

We have cool only. Windows facing north and south and 500 sf. When it's 106 outside we can keep it at 77 on high. When it's 85 inside it takes about an hour to reach 77. The unit is noisier than I'd like but it does the job.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.
