Dual temperature Power harness
For dual temperature case with Dry Contact switch control. The dual temperature cable wire is orange and white orange. There’s no
polarity. The wires connect to the switch in series.
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).

To trigger a magnetic switch on the TS.2 device, a Refrigeration Innovation Magik Wand is needed. The Magik Wand can be
purchased from RI to ensure that the switches are triggered properly.
In absence of a Magik Wand, the magnetic switches on a TS.2 device can be triggered by any strong magnet (Neodymium rare‐earth
type. A typical refrigerator door magnet or whiteboard magnet are NOT strong enough).

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
The basic switch functions can be used to temporarily change the temperature scale or display the currently active set‐point.
There are also arrays of advanced switch sequences to change the default temperature scale, change active set‐points, and obtain or
delete the device address in a wireless system.

Sequence
From the factory, the default temperature display is Degrees Fahrenheit.
Triggering this function will set the default to Degrees Centigrade.
Set the default temperature If triggered during a Defrost cycle, this will override the display of ‘dEF’ on
TS.2 | F/C display to the opposite of the Display. This allows reading of the actual temperature during a Defrost
what is currently displayed cycle. This override will not change the default temperature units and is
only in effect for one Defrost cycle. The next Defrost cycle will display ‘dEF’
as normal.
While the set‐point is flashing on the display, triggering of the M/L switch
will successively change the set point to the next pre‐programmed set
point.
This will cycle through all the set‐points as long as the display is flashing.

displayed.
Note: Setting the “dt” mode for Dual temp cases allows the set‐point to be
automatically modified with the case switch between 5°F and 40°F for low
and medium temperatures respectively.
This toggles Defrost function on or off.
When Defrost function is turned on:
The display unit will show ‘dEF’ when the case is out of Set‐point
temperatures for the first time.

When Defrost function is turned off:
The display unit will keep showing temperature when the case is out of
Set‐point temperatures for the first time.
After the first 60 minutes the unit will go into alarm.

Device Alarm Set‐Point
The set‐point configures the device to operate in the range of temperature for that particular case. The set‐point determines
whether the case temperature is within range or not and determines when the unit goes into alarm.
To View the current Set‐point of a device tap the M/L switch.
Hint: Once a switch is tapped pull the magnet at least ½” away from the switch to allow it to turn off.

Troubleshooting
Magnet tool required to check and change settings
Problem 1. Device is always flashing =It is in high temp alarm mode, check and change setting or correct high temperature condition.
Problem 2. Device seems to always display purple and DEF = check and change setting if on case... if on walk in box disable DEF.
Problem 3. No light no display = Power problem. If possible switch display assembly with a known good 8" display assembly. If device lights
up, check power supply and or harness connection to device. If it doesn't light up need new 8" display assembly.
Problem 4. - - - e with flashing amber light = Sensor error. Check for crimp/cut or connection problem.
Problem 5. Solid green or Purple with completely blank display = Light ballast in lineup is producing noise. Turn off all case lights to each case
in lineup. When TS devices begin to show temperature, start turning on lights one at a time (check for flickering) until the problem appears and
address problem ballast. Or you can install a noise filter on the power supply side of the TS, contact Tech support for assistance.
Problem 6. Unsure if components needed are for Spine or Node = Check TS power harness at power supply connection. If 2 pin connection
green power harness it is a single temp Node. If beige harness with 2 pin connection and 2 exposed wires for dual temp, it is a dual temp Node
device. If ST-2 or ST-3 connector are used, it is Spine.
Problem 7. Unsure of difference between BGA and GAR = BGA has a color chart around the device with Frozen, Fresh, Alarm and Defrost.
GAR device has a simple black ring, no color chart.
BGA Color description
Blue: Frozen
Green: Fresh
Flashing Amber: Needs service
Purple: Defrost cycle enabled
GAR Color description
Green: Normal operation for any setting
Flashing Amber: in alarm for 1-2 hours
Flashing Red: in alarm more than 2 hours
