supplies other than those specified can seriously
damage the system.
Separate the cables of the analog inputs from
those of the digital inputs and the serial line
cables from the power cables (resistive as well as
inductive), in order to prevent malfunction due
to electromagnetic interference.
Make connections as short as possible, and do
not wind them around electrically connected
parts.
Follow connection diagrams carefully when
connecting loads.
Never connectthesecondaryofthesupply
transformer to the Earth.
The low voltage connections must have
reinforced insulation.
When utilizing the digital inputs of the CoreLink
Case Controller use another transformer in
order to prevent the digital inputs from
malfunctioning or being damaged.
To avoid causing static discharge, do not touch
the electronic components on the boards.

How to connect to CoreLink Case Controller in Store Network
Custom Store Network
When visiting a store site, the technician might notice the USB to Ethernet adaptors installed and connected
to RJ-45 ethernet cable at the CoreLink Case Controllers. The store likely has a custom CoreLink Case
Controller network with all cases connected directly to an ethernet switch or multiple ethernet switches.
To access these controllers, please consult the refrigeration service contractor, or Hussmann Representative.
Technicians will need to obtain details of the network setup. Some networks may only be accessed through
direct wire connection and others may have Wi-Fi available onsite. Username and password will be needed
to make connection to this network much like the access point instructions above.
Technicians will also need to know the IP addressed assigned to each case circuit. In this scenario each
CoreLink Case Controller will have a unique IP address assigned. Technicians will only be able to gain
access to the internal Web UI with the correct provided IP address.
Once connected to the network the technician will be able to access any of the controllers connected to
the network.
