INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction and Features WALK-IN MONITORING SYSTEM 200 (WIMS 200) was designed by American Panel Corporation to address multiple issues regarding walk-in units and to incorporate the functionalities of various walk-in door devices in a single, flexible, reliable, and user friendly controller.
1.3. HACCP Compliant Data Logger and the PC Communication Protocol and Software American Panel Corporation understands the benefits and the importance of a complete HACCP system. That is why we designed WIMS 200 to incorporate a complete Critical Temperature Control Points monitoring system.
PROGRAMMING 3. Parameter Programming All American Panel Corporation walk-in monitoring systems are programmed at the factory. The settings in this manual are considered default for WIMS 200 and were established to suit generic walk-in operating environments. However, the customer may change any of these settings as required.

OPERATING 8.1. Clear the Events Memory WIMS 200 memory can store 817 events. When the memory is full, it will take more time to download the data onto the SD card. Clearing the events memory on a regular basis will ensure faster data downloading onto the SD card.
OPERATING 9. Error Messages Problems beyond the routine maintenance would most likely involve the refrigeration system or the control system. Please contact the factory for assistance if this should occur. Note that the warranty would be voided if these components are serviced by other than trained technicians approved by the manufacturer. There are few error messages that could occur on WIMS 200 display: 9.1.
OPERATING 9.2. Power Failure Message The display will show: In the event of a power failure at the controller the display will flash the power fail message and then it will alternate with the temperature reading and the time (For 5 seconds) reading.
OPERATING 10. Batteries 10.1. Connect The Battery Pack To prevent battery drainage and failure, WIMS 200 systems are shipped with the battery pack disconnected form the electronic board. Connect the battery pack to the electronic board only when the walk-in cabinet is ready for use.
PC COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL) 11. PC Connection Kit And Software (Optional) The PC connection interface was designed to allow users to monitor and control the WIMS 200 from the convenience of an office computer. WIMS 200 can be operated and programmed from a remote PC via PC communication software (Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, and XP).
PC COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL) 11.3. PC Connection For Two Or More Controllers The communication protocol allows for up to 32 units to be connected at the same computer. When connecting two or more controllers to the same computer follow the check list below: ...
PC COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL) 11.4. Communication Software CPX-200 The software’s interface emulates the control panel which enables the operator to control WIMS 200 from the office computer in the same way as if he would be right in front of the walk-in. The software also allows the operator to save the programmed parameters and the events memory to the PC for archival purposes.
PC COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL) Technician Menu – This menu option is for factory use only. If it is accessed by mistake, hit once to return to “OFF” state. Load Standard Parameters – Click on this option if you want to reset the controller to the factory settings (see Chapter 6).
