(KE2-EM35)

Overview, Installation, and Setup Instructions V1.1 PN 21634

KE2-EM35

KE2 Therm’s Edge Manager - 35 is the perfect

addition to your Refrigeration Network.

When the KE2-EM35 is connected to the same network as KE2

Therm devices, it immediately and automatically scans and

finds all KE2 Therm controllers – Ethernet and Serial (Modbus)*,

or KE2 Wireless Sensors.

Display a Local Area Dashboard showing controllers

connected to the customer’s network

Connect controllers to KE2 SmartAccess customer portal

without requiring controller upgrades

Send e-mail Alarms to multiple e-mail recipients

View Serial (Modbus) devices in a webpage, make changes to

setpoints and receive alerts via e-mail or text message

Local data logging with an option for Advanced data logging

to MQTT server, SQL server, or Amazon services

Wirelessly tether to the local network (Wirelessly connect a controller to existing Wi-Fi)

BACnet Integration (currently for KE2-Evap Efficiency & sensors only)

Statically assign IP addresses to both WAN and LAN ports

The KE2-EM35 allows customers to locally view all of their controllers/sensors in a single

view, without a recurring fee. Additionally, KE2-EM35 enables customers to access their

controllers over the internet, by functioning as a conduit to KE2 SmartAccess (available for

a nominal monthly charge.)

* Serial (Modbus) devices must be enabled, see Page 8.
