KE2 Temp + Defrost (pn 20611)
For Medium Temperature Applications with Air Defrost
Installation Manual
Supplies List
The KE2 Temp + Defrost is supplied with all of the accessories re-
quired for the controller to work, however, standard truck stock items
will also be required to install the controller. To simplify the installa-
tion, a list of items has been provided.
conduit to go between the controller and the evaporator
(2) conduit connectors (straight or elbow as required)
(4) high voltage wires matched to the load of the liquid
line solenoid/compressor and the controller.
wire labeling (numbers, colors, etc.)
additional wire ties
18 gauge twisted shielded pair (if extending sensor wires/
adding communication)
foam insulation if running wires outside the space.
silicone (for sealing any box penetrations)
This reference should remain on site with the installed KE2 Temp + Defrost controller.

KE2 Temp + Defrost
Quick Start Guide
Select Mounting Location
The KE2 Temp is designed for a wide range of
applications; therefore there are many potential
installation locations. Breaking down the instal-
lation location by application provides the most
helpful reference.
Application Locations
Undercounter Evaporator cabinet
Outside controlled space
Walk-in Evaporator cabinet
Adjacent to entrance
Side-by-side Above door
When wiring the controller rst remove the dis-
play by loosening the four corner screws. The
display is connected to the lower board by a
short ribbon cable.
Caution: The board may be damaged if exces-
sive force is used when removing the cover.

Wiring the Controller
The KE2 Temp was designed with simplicity in
mind. The controller accepts 120V / 208-240V
to power the controller and 12V - 240V solenoid
voltage via the liquid line solenoid relay through
the lower conduit connection. The temperature
sensor and communication wires are attached
via the upper conduit connector.

KE2 Temp + Defrost
Quick Start Guide
After the four screws have been detached from
the lower section, the cover may be gently
moved to the side.
Next remove the high voltage protective cover.
There are two screws holding it in place.
With the high voltage cover removed, the two
screw terminal connectors can be seen. The
2-position connector is the controller’s power
supply. The voltage selector switch should be
positioned to match the voltage supplied.

7Replace high voltage shield after wiring is
completed.
The liquid line solenoid/compressor relay ac-
cepts a variety of input voltages and is not re-
quired to match the controller’s input. See table
for relay ratings. The relay uses the 3-position
screw terminal to make the connection on the
board. This relay is designed to control smaller
compressors directly. It may also control either
the liquid line solenoid or as a pilot to the com-
pressor contactor.When connecting the wires to
the relay, the controller will be breaking one leg
of the power.
One leg of incoming power (L1) supply for the
liquid line solenoid should be connected to the
common terminal of the liquid line solenoid
relay, the right most terminal connection. The
other leg of the incoming power (L2) should be
connected directly to the solenoid lead. The re-
maining lead from the solenoid should be con-
nected to the NO (normally open) terminal, the
leftmost terminal location.
Proper wiring practices must be followed. Local
wiring codes take precedence over any informa-
tion in this bulletin.

Connect line (L1) to the right terminal position
and neutral (L2) to the left terminal position.

Communication
The KE2 Temp includes RS-485 Modbus commu-
nication. RS-485 communication should be con-
nected to the A, B, and Sh (shield) connections.
Low Voltage Connections
Temperature sensor - The temperature sensor
terminal is located on the cover’s circuit board
and is permanently attached. The temperature
sensor input consists of the right two terminals.
Although the terminals are labeled‘+’and ‘ - ‘ the
sensor is not polarized and may be connected in
either orientation.
The sensor should be fed through the top con-
duit connection using liquid tight cord and
before being attached to the board. If Modbus
communication is being used, a water tight type
conduit maybe used instead.
