Study the existing wiring.

 Determine the location of the fol-

lowing: incoming power, fan leads, 

heater leads,  defrost termination 

leads, and fan delay leads.

15

Evaporator wiring – Controller

 Strip the end of the wires used to 

power the controller.

 Attach to the line power to provide 

continuous power to the controller.

 Attach ground wire.

Note: Ground is required for the inter-

nal safeties to operate properly.

16

Evaporator wiring – Fans

 Strip the ends of the wires (con-

nected to the KE2 Evap) used to con-

trol the evaporator fans.  

  The fan wires can be attached 

to the terminal block using either 

screw down terminals or spade 

connectors.

  Attach one of wires to the L1/Line. 

This wire will be connected to COM 

of fan relay on the controller.

  Attach the wire connected to the 

NO terminal on the Fan Relay to one 

of the fan leads.

  Connect L2/Neutral to remaining 

fan lead.
