KE2 Therm’s Local Area Dashboard & Alarms 

(LDA) is the perfect addition to the Refrigeration 

Network. 

When the KE2 LDA is connected to the same network as 

KE2 Therm controllers, it immediately and automatically scans and finds all KE2 

Therm controllers – Ethernet or Serial-ModBus.

 

 Serve as a Permanent WiFi Service Tool

ing controller upgrades

 View Serial devices in a webpage, make changes to setpoints, and re-

ceive alerts via e-mail or text message

 

 366-day data logging when used with the KE2 Flash Drive 

(see bulletin

existing WiFi.

)

 

 Guest Mode: Connect wirelessly to the KE2 LDA with no password, ac-

cess up to 99 devices.

The KE2 LDA allows customers to locally view all of their controllers in a single 

view, without a recurring fee.  And, additionally, enables customers to access their 

controllers over the Internet, by functioning as a conduit to KE2 SmartAccess 

(available for a nominal monthly charge.)
