Basic Description
Designed to withstand rugged
high traffic installations, the door
switch provides increased energy
efficiency, more stable product
temperature, 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
24” (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.

Mounting the Door Switch
The door switch mounts in any position along the door, how-
ever the gap between the magnet
A
and the contact assembly/
sensor
B
cannot exceed 2” (5 cm) when the door is closed.
If the gap is greater than 2” (5 cm) the door switch will contin-
ually signal that it is open, and the controller will turn off the
evaporators.
To help the installer adjust the gap, the L-bracket
has
C
multiple mounting holes, and the magnet can moved
forward, or backward, in the slot
D
.
Position
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 left open for longer than 60 seconds, the sole-
noid (EEV) is closed to initiate system pumpdown.
System will remain in pumpdown until door is closed.
If the door is left open for time set in Door Alarm Delay (de-
fault is 30 min.) and the temperature rises 5°F (2.8°C) above
setpoint, a Door Alarm is activated and the system is turned
back on to resume cooling
Once the door is closed, normal system operation resumes.
The magnet can mount to the
inside of the L-Bracket or the
outside.
The Contact Assembly / Sensor mounts in any
postion,as long as it is within
two inches of the
magnet,
when the door is closed.
