Quick Start Guide

Evaporator wiring – Auxiliary

 The auxiliary relay is optional and wiring will vary depending on the 

auxiliary relay method selected. 

 Depending on auxiliary relay location, an additional conduit may 

be required.

 Strip the ends selected to control the auxiliary component.

 Break the hot leg of the auxiliary component.

 Attach the wire from the NO terminal on the auxiliary relay to one 

of the auxiliary component leads. Attach the wire from the COM on 

the auxiliary component relay to the L1/Line Voltage.

  Connect L2/Neutral to the remaining auxiliary component lead. 

 Route and secure the conduit to the location the controller is to be 

installed. 

 Wiring must follow local wiring codes.

Installing the sensors

 Although not required, sensors should be labeled with their func-

tion. This will eliminate confusion when connecting the sensors to 

the controller.

Air Sensor Bracket

 Install the Air Temperature Sensor using the Stainless Steel self-

piercing screw and bracket from the accessory kit. 

 The end with the single loop is designed to be mounted with the 

screw included.

 The end with multiple loops is designed to hold the sensor.
 Locate the best place to install the sensor. 
 The sensor should be located between 8 - 10 inches away from 

the face of the evaporator.  This distance prevents the sensor from 

sensing heat from the heating elements during the defrost cycle, but 

close enough to accurately sense the return air temperature.  

 The sensor bracket may be bent as necessary to locate the sensor 

in the proper position.
WARNING!

Do not allow the metal portion of the air sensor to touch any-

thing other than air.  It should not touch the bracket, nylon cable 

tie, or any other solid surface.

Coil Sensor

  The coil sensor location is of the utmost importance for the 

proper operation of the controller.  It is essential that the sen-

sor is in the coldest location on the coil at the end of the defrost 

cycle, to ensure a complete defrost. See preliminary steps A-D on 

page 3 to determine the coldest location on the coil.

Once you determine the proper sensor location, as described in pre-

liminary steps A-D on page 3, the sensor can be installed.

Installing the Sensor Properly

Note, the most active portion of the sensor is the first 1/2” of the 

1-1/2” long stainless steel probe. Figures 25 and 26 show two meth-

ods for installing the sensor in the coil. The method shown in 25 will 

work in most applications, however in some cases inserting the sen-

sor into the coil may position it too close to the defrost heat source. In 

these instances, the method shown in Figure 26 can be used.
