Installing the KE2 Therm Door Switch
thermsolutions
Basic Description
high traffic installations, the door switch provides in-
creased energy efficiency, more stable product tem-
perature, and is effective at preventing coil freeze
ups. The reed switch is hermetically sealed with a PVC
shock absorber, enclosed within a solid aluminum
housing.
Installation wires are protected in a 36" (61 cm)
stainless steel armored cable. The magnet is mounted
on an adjustable L shaped bracket providing greater
flexibility, universal mounting, higher pulling power, and a professional appearance.
Controller Operation with Door Switch Activated
Normal system operation while the door is closed.
When the door is opened, evaporator fans are turned off.
If the door is open for longer than 60 seconds, the solenoid & EEV close to initiate
system pumpdown. System will remain in pumpdown until door is closed.
If the door is open for time set in Door Alarm Delay (default 30 min.) and the tem-
perature rises 5°F (2.8°C) above setpoint, a Door Alarm is activated and the system turns on to resume cooling
Once the door is closed, normal system operation resumes.
Mounting the Door Switch
The door switch mounts in any position along the door, however the
A
gap between the magnet
and the contact assembly/sensor
not exceed 2" (5 cm) when the door is closed.
If the gap is greater than 2" (5 cm) the door switch will continually signal
that the door is open, and the controller will turn off the evaporators.
To adjust the gap, the L-bracket has

Wiring to the Controller's Digital Input
Wire the door switch (dry contact) to a Digital Input (DI1 default). Be-
cause the wires are not polarized, either wire can connect to either
terminal on the pluggable connector.
Door switch wires may be extended with 18 AWG twisted shielded pair wire. Max 100ft.)

The Contact Assembly / Sensor should
be mounted parallel to one another. The
switch should activate when within two
inches of the magnet, but may need to
be closer depending on the material the
switch and magnet are mounted to.
