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.
