Junction Box (For Dual Temperature Case)
For dual temperature case, the set-point can be automatically switched between 5.0°F and 40.0°F depending on the Dual
Temperature switch on the case. Therefore when the dual temperature case is switch between Frozen Food Case to Fresh Food
Case, the display unit will automatically change its set-point to match the case temperature setting.
This is for use only with 120v Low Temp solenoid applications. For dry contact applications see Page 8
For use only with 120 VAC Low
Temperature Solenoid Application
Voltage input from low
temperature solenoid goes here.
There is no polarity
(‘Hot’ and ‘Neutral’ at 120Vac)
Junction Box (Analog Output)
For wired analog output application, the display unit temperature is expressed in voltage. The voltage can be measured from t he
DAC OUT connector. It can be wired to any analog input boards in EMS Controller.
EMS controller requires 0-5 VDC Analog Input Board and setting prior to connecting wires from ST-3 to analog input
point.

Thermo-Simple 1 version 2 (TS.1 ver.2) 2013
With Dual-Temp power harness the set-point can be automatically switched between 5.0°F (Low Temperature) and 40.0°F (Medium
Temperature) depending on the Dual Temperature switch position on the case.
When the switch is open, the set-point becomes +40.0°F (Medium Temperature).
When the switch is close, the set-point becomes +5.0°F (Low Temperature).
When the case switches from +40.0°F (Medium Temperature) to +5.0°F (Low Temperature) there will be a 30 minute delay to allow
time for the case to cool down.
However, when the case switches from +5.0°F (Low Temperature) to +40.0°F (Medium Temperature) there will be no delay. When
the dual temperature case is switch between Frozen Food Case to Fresh Food Case, the Thermo-Simple will change between +40 and
+5 settings immediately.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Thermo-Simple 1 Version 2 consists of 2 main components.
The first part, installed first in a case, is the Mounting Plate. The second part, attached to the Mounting Plate, is the Display Unit.
The spring contact provides power and temperature reading to the Display unit. In order for the spring contact to work properly, it is
imperative to use #6 Pan Head screws on the Mounting Plate and #4 Undercut Countersunk with length no longer than 3/16 inch .

Function #12: Alarm Flag
If the unit ever went out of temperature the display unit will alternate between temperature reading and “ALA”.
This means that even though the case is back in temperature, it has been out of temperature for more than 60 minutes previously.
First 60 minutes after defrost timer
is up
(70 minutes on set-points with
freeze alarm)
The units will shows “ALA” on display along with flashing
amber/yellow for the first 60 minutes after 60 minutes
defrost timer is up. (70 minutes after 70 minutes defrost
timer is up on set-point with freeze alarm)
Master Alarm will turn on within 60 minutes (Wireless
System Only)
After an alarm condition has gone
away
Display
Alternates
The unit will go back to normal operation, however the
display will alternate between “ALA” and the actual
temperature, alternating approximately every three
seconds.
Magnet End
To clear the alarm condition,
Tap “F/C”
here FIRST
Tap “F/C” switch once using a RI Magik Wand® or any
strong magnet.
Once the temperature goes back below (or over, for hot food set-point 142F), the TS.2 unit will display the temperature and “ALA”
repetitively until “F/C” switch has been triggered.
By default, the Alarm Flag is disabled
To enable, unlock the display unit, and follow these steps:

Function #5: Set-Point
Set-Point is a temperature point where a case turns from being in good status to alarm (out of temperature) status.
There are 8 different set-points.
Dual Set-Points (5.0°F and 40.0°F)
For dual temperature case, the set-point can be automatically switched between 5.0°F and 40.0°F depending on the Dual
Temperature switch on the case. Therefore when the dual temperature case is changes between Frozen Food Case to Fresh Food
Case, the display unit will automatically change its set-point to match the case temperature setting.
