DAC-55™Door Monitor Installation
OPERATION OF THE OPTIONAL IP-1
ILLUMINATED PUSHBUTTON: MOUNTS
INSIDE OF WALK-IN!
In order to increase product capabilities, the DAC-55 has been
designed to accept a low voltage, Illuminated Pushbutton
as an additional means of device activation. The Illuminated
Pushbutton is an optional accessory, (Part # IP-1), and
when utilized, is to be mounted inside of the monitored
compartment. A piezo horn is also incorporated into the IP-1.
Added functionality offered by the IP-1 is as follows:
WITH THE DOOR OPEN:
With the door opened, IP-1 functions are dependent on the
position of the Pushbutton Enable Switch. (See Diagram
on back of instructions.) If the Pushbutton Enable
Switch is (ON), pressing the IP-1 with the door open when
a Door Ajar Alarm occurs will reset the alarm and restart
the alarm delay timer. This can be done repeatedly and is
useful when a door is opened for a prolonged period of time
such as loading or unloading. If the Pushbutton Enable
Switch is (OFF), pressing the IP-1 with the door open will
not affect DAC-55 or compartment operation. Therefore,
when a Door Ajar Alarm occurs, the door must be closed to
terminate the alarm and restore normal operation.
WITH THE DOOR CLOSED:
(Operation of the IP-1 with the door closed is not affected
by the Pushbutton Enable Switch or by any other variable
parameter settings. IP-1 operation with the door closed is
always as follows:)
When the door is first closed, the Horn in the IP-1 beeps
on and off so as to draw attention to the IP-1 and to the
Pushbutton Label. The Pushbutton Label instructs personnel
inside of the compartment to press the button in order to
keep the lights on and to turn off refrigeration with the door
closed. (Label is in English and Spanish.)
1. If the IP-1 is not pressed within 40 seconds, the horn
stops beeping and the lights turn off automatically
after 10 minutes.
2. Pressing the IP-1 with the door closed keeps interior
lights on (or turns them on if they are off), shuts
refrigeration off (Fans & Solenoid) and starts the
Automatic Panic Alarm timer. (Timer delay is 20
minutes, non-adjustable.)
3. If personnel remain in the compartment for 20
minutes with the door closed, the IP-1 Horn begins
to beep again. Re-pressing the button silences the
horn and resets and restarts the Automatic Panic
Alarm Timer. This may be done repeatedly.
4. Automatic Panic Alarm – If the button is not re-
pressed within 40 seconds from when the IP-1 horn
begins to beep, the horn and the strobe light on the
DAC-55 activate immediately to draw attention to the
walk-in. Alarm relay activates as well. AUTOMATIC
PANIC ALARM IS A SAFETY FEATURE to protect an
individual who may have been injured or is otherwise
disabled inside of the compartment and cannot re-
press the IP-1.
5. Manual Panic (Entrapment) Alarm – Activated by
pressing the IP-1 for 2 seconds (as described on the
Pushbutton Label). This causes immediate activation
of strobe light, audible alarm & alarm relay and is
PROVIDED AS A SAFETY FEATURE for situations
where personnel may be trapped inside of the
walk-in.
INSTALLATION:
MOUNTING:
1. MAGNETIC CONTACTS: INSTALLATION TIP:
IF DESIRED, AND IF DOOR CONFIGURATION
PERMITS, SWITCH PART OF MAGNETIC
CONTACTS MAY BE MOUNTED INSIDE OF
DAC-55 ENCLOSURE. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT
OPERATION OF CONTACTS AND WILL MAKE FOR
A CLEANER INSTALLATION. Provided Magnetic
Contacts may be mounted with adhesive backing or
with provided screws. Mount magnet part of contact
onto top edge of door, as far away from the hinged
side as possible. Mount switch part of contact onto
door frame, directly above magnet, positioned so
that contacts close (make contact) when door
is closed. When mounted, gap between magnet &
switch should not exceed 1.25” when door is closed.
NOTE: On steel doors, the steel of the door may
reduce this operating gap. Position accordingly.
2. DAC-55 ENCLOSURE: Remove the faceplate. If
switch part of magnetic contact is not mounted
inside of the DAC-55, the enclosure may be mounted
in any appropriate location on the front of the walk-in.
If switch part of contact is mounted inside of DAC-55,
position the DAC-55 enclosure above the magnet
mounted on the walk-in door and mount the switch
on the inside bottom wall of the DAC-55 enclosure,
positioned so that contacts close when door is
closed. A meter on resistance scale or a continuity
checker is helpful in checking magnetic contacts for
proper operation. A temporary power cord may also
be used to help in positioning contacts as follows:
Have strobe pin jumper in instant position. When
contacts are placed properly, strobe will turn on
when door is open and turn off when door is closed.
