1. Introduction and Features
WALK-IN MONITORING SYSTEM 200 (WIMS 200) was designed by American Panel Corporation to
address multiple issues regarding walk-in units and to incorporate the functionalities of various walk-in door
devices in a single, flexible, reliable, and user friendly controller.
WIMS 200 features:
Walk-in Temperature Monitoring
Walk-in Temperature Alarms
External Alarm Output With Direct 115VAC, Up To 150W
Door Frame Heater Temperature Controlling
Door Frame Heater Temperature Monitoring
Real Time Clock And Date With Backup Battery And Automatic Recharge Function
Communication Protocol With Software For PC Connection (Optional)
SD/MMC Card With USB Adapter
HACCP Compliant Data Logger
Electronically Controlled Light Switch With Light On/Off Indicator
Automatic Light Off
External Switch Connection For CAL-OSHA Back-To-Back Light Control (Optional)
Multi-Way (3 Or 4 Ways) Light Control (Optional)
Panic Button (Optional)
Door Switch
Celsius Or Fahrenheit Temperature Selection
1.1. Temperature Monitoring and Alarms
To efficiently monitor the walk-in air temperature, WIMS 200 is equipped with a highly accurate temperature
probe mounted inside the walk-in. The temperature readings are displayed on an ultra bright dot matrix LED
display.
The controller alarm system is comprised of a high and low temperature alarm with built in trigger delay to
allow small temperature fluctuations (occurring in daily walk-in operations such as door openings, door
closings, and evaporator defrost cycles) without triggering the alarms. The alarm’s set points and delay times
are fully programmable to the user’s needs.
In case the air temperature inside the walk-in is reaching an alarm condition, WIMS 200 uses visual and audible
alert methods. In addition to the integrated buzzer and alarm display message, the controller has a
120V/60Hz/150W output for additional external alarm devices (optional).
1.2. Door Frame Heater Temperature Control and Monitoring
Door frame heater control and monitoring is done by two different methods that work in conjunction to save
energy and to maintain the door frame heater temperature within a preset range.
A temperature probe is mounted on the door frame heater wire to accurately monitor its temperature. Viewing
the door frame heater temperature is as easy as pressing a button.
INTRODUCTION

1.3. HACCP Compliant Data Logger and the PC Communication Protocol and Software
American Panel Corporation understands the benefits and the importance of a complete HACCP system. That is
why we designed WIMS 200 to incorporate a complete Critical Temperature Control Points monitoring system.
WIMS 200 records the temperature inside the walk-in at preset time intervals. Also, it records the occurrence of
critical events such as air alarms, panic alarms, and power failures together with the date and time of the
occurrence. When needed, this data can be viewed and printed from a computer via the communication protocol
or the provided SD card and USB adapter. The HACCP system is backed-up by a self-rechargeable battery
system and a real time clock.
In the event of a power failure, WIMS 200 will display a power failure message that alternates with the common
readings (air temperature and time). It will continue to record the events until the battery is depleted,
approximately four more hours.
The PC connection interface was designed to allow the user to monitor and control the WIMS 200 from the
convenience of the office computer. The software’s interface emulates the control panel.
1.4. Electronically Controlled Light Switch and Automatic Light Off
The flexibility of WIMS 200 allows the user to operate the light from multiple locations such as multiple doors.
The integrated light button is equipped with two LED lights to display the ON/OFF status of the light and also
to indicate the button location in the dark.
The Automatic Light Off feature of WIMS 200 enables the user to save energy. The amount of time the light
will stay on can be set from 1 minute to 60 minutes, or it can be set for manual shut off.
Back-to-back and multi-way light controls are provided as optional features.

3. Parameter Programming
All American Panel Corporation walk-in monitoring systems are programmed at the factory. The settings in this
manual are considered default for WIMS 200 and were established to suit generic walk-in operating
environments. However, the customer may change any of these settings as required.
Note: During the programming steps, any delay longer than one minute before pushing the next button will
cause the controller to revert to the “OFF” state. To avoid this, the following instructions should be carefully
reviewed and the desired settings should be determined before proceeding. If the controller goes to the “OFF”
state, the programming mode will have to be restarted.
Note: During programming, pressing and holding the UP or DOWN button will increase the programming
speed.
The instructions below contain screens with the exact messages displayed by the controller during the
programming procedure. Follow the notes located to the left of these screens.
Before entering the programming mode, the controller has to be in the “OFF”
state.
If it is not, press and hold for five seconds.
The display will show:

will turn off automatically after the preset time expires.
Note: Regardless of the automatic light off setting, the light can be switched on and off from the light button at
any time.
If a back-to-back or multi-way light control option was purchased, the light can also be switched on and off
from the provided push buttons.
7.6. High Alarm
If the air inside the walk-in goes above the preset high limit, the alarm will go off.
The buzzer will go off and the display will flash the following message:
7.7. Low Alarm

8. HACCP Data Download Via SD/MMC
Note: Do not remove the SD card until the controller is in “OFF” state.
WIMS 200 incorporates a complete HACCP monitoring system. The integrated
memory allows the controller to store data over a few days of normal operation. We
believe it is a good practice to download HACCP data daily.
To download HACCP data onto your computer via the SD/MMC card, follow the
instructions below.
Make sure the controller is in “OFF” state. If it is not, press and hold until
the display indicates “OFF” (approximately five seconds). Once the controller is in
“OFF” state insert the provided SD/MMC card into the SD slot at the controller, as
shown in the figure on the right.
When the SD card has been completely inserted into its slot, the display will show:
Press to save the data onto the SD card.
While data is being written on the SD card, the display will indicate the message:
After the controller writes all the information on the SD card, it will verify the
integrity of the data.
The display will show:
Once the process is finished the controller will return into “OFF” state.
The display will show:
To remove the SD card from the controller press and release the card.
Place the card in the provided USB adapter and insert the adapter into a USB port
at your computer.
On the SD card the data is saved as a text file of type EVT00001.txt in folder
CPX200 and subfolder of type WWYYXXXX (W – week, Y – year, X – index
number). The subfolder name represents the identity code of the controller.
Copy the file onto your computer. Even though the file can be opened with any
word editing program, the data layout is optimized for Microsoft Excel. See figure
below for an example.
