MULTI-NODE (SPINE) CONFIGURATIONS
This configuration allows a single power supply to power up to 6 Thermo-Simple 1 and/or 2.
Power Supply for Multi-Node
The power supply for Multi-Node Configuration is not interchangeable with Single Node power supply. This is due to different load
requirements.

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).
When the case switches from +40.0°F (Medium Temperature) to +5.0°F (Low Temperature) there will be a 30 minute delay to allow
time for the case to cool down.
However, when the case switches from +5.0°F (Low Temperature) to +40.0°F (Medium Temperature) there will be no delay. When
the dual temperature case is switch between Frozen Food Case to Fresh Food Case, the Thermo-Simple will change between +40 and
+5 settings immediately.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Thermo-Simple 1 Version 2 consists of 2 main components.
The first part, installed first in a case, is the Mounting Plate. The second part, attached to the Mounting Plate, is the Display Unit.
The spring contact provides power and temperature reading to the Display unit. In order for the spring contact to work properly, it is
imperative to use #6 Pan Head screws on the Mounting Plate and #4 Undercut Countersunk with length no longer than 3/16 inch .

MOUNTING PLATE SCREW CLEARANCES
It is critical that #6 or #8 Low Profile Pan Head screws are used to ensure proper device operation.
DISPLAY SCREW CLEARANCES
It is critical that #4 x 3/16” Flathead Undercut Countersunk screws are used to ensure proper engagement
between the Mounting Plate spring connector and the Device.

DISPLAY UNIT
DISPLAY
TS.1.v2 displays temperature in its default state. It also displays incoming and outgoing communication between the device and the
wireless network a wireless system.
MAGNETIC SWITCHES
To trigger the magnetic switch on the TS.1 device, a Refrigeration Innovation Magnet Tool is needed. In absence of the Magnet Tool,
the magnetic switch on the TS.1 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
Unlocking Display
After 4.5 minutes after being powered on. The display unit will automatically lock itself to prevent unintended changes.
To unlock and change settings:
1. Trigger F/X switch.
2. Using Up/Down arrow turns the first digit to 5. Then set it by triggering the F/X switch
3. Repeat step 2 until all three digits are set to 567. The display unit will ask you to confirm this unlocking procedure.
4. Trigger F/X switch to confirm unlocking procedure.
5. The unit is now unlocked. You can now access Function #1 to #19 using the Up/Down switch.
DISPLAY UNIT SETTINGS
These functions list checks and changes the display unit internal settings.
Function #1: Default Temperature Scale
Changing default temperature scale.
To change default temperature scale, unlock the display unit first, and then follow these steps:
1. Trigger F/X switch. The display unit will ask for what Function to select.
2. Select #1 using Up/Down switch.
3. Then trigger F/X switch again to confirm function selection.
The display unit will show the current default temperature scale.
4. Select default temperature scale using Up/Down arrow
5. Trigger F/X switch to confirm your selection. The display unit default temperature scale is now in Celsius.

Function #2: Enable/Disable Defrost Indicator
When a refrigeration unit goes out of temperature, there may be nothing wrong at all. It is part of the refrigeration unit cycle to
defrost. During this cycle by default the display unit will indicate ‘dEF’. If defrost indicator is disabled, the display unit will indicate
temperature reading.
Trigger the F/C switch to see temperature reading during this cycle.
To enable/disable defrost indicator, unlock the display unit first, and then follow these steps:
1. Trigger F/X switch. The display unit will ask for what Function to select.
2. Select #2 using Up/Down switch
3. Then trigger F/X switch again to confirm function selection.
The display unit will show the current Defrost indicator.
‘+dEF’ means that the defrost indicator is on.
‘-dEF’ means that the defrost indicator is off.
4. Turn off (or on) defrost indicator using Up/Down switch.
5. Trigger F/X switch to confirm your selection. Defrost indicator is now off.
Function #3: Enable/Disable Freeze Alarm
In some refrigeration case containing dairy, fresh produce, and other similar ingredients, it is necessary to keep the ingredients fresh
and cool but not frozen. For these cases enabling freeze alarm on the display unit may be appropriate.
By default, freeze alarm is disabled.
If enabled, display unit will start flashing blue if the temperature drops below 33.5°F
To enable/disable freeze alarm, unlock the display unit first, and then follow these steps:
1. Trigger F/X switch, the display unit will ask for what Function to select.
2. Select #3 using Up/Down switch

3. Then trigger F/X switch again to confirm function selection.
The display unit will show the current Freeze alarm setting
‘-Fr’ means that the freeze alarm is off
‘+Fr’ means that the freeze alarm is on
4. Turn on (or off) freeze alarm using Up/Down switch.
5. Trigger F/X switch to confirm your selection. Freeze alarm is now enabled.
Function #4: Color Scheme
There are 3 color schemes available.
1. Blue Green Amber (BGA): Amber Alarm
2. Green Amber Red (GAR): Amber and Red Alarm
3. No color (only temperature display)
The default color scheme setting is BGA.
To change the color scheme, unlock the display unit first, and then follow these steps:
1. Trigger F/X switch, the display unit will ask for what function to select.
Solid Blue –Frozen Status
Solid Green –Fresh Status
Flashing Amber (after defrost / first 60 /
first 90 minutes) –Out of Temp. Alarm
Solid Green –Fresh/Frozen Status
Flashing Yellow –Short duration over temp. alarm
(first 60 / first 90 minutes )
