Setpoints are as follows:
DT for use with dual temp
+0 for use with frozen Ice Cream applications
+5 for use with standard frozen applications
+36 for use with sensitive fresh meat applications
+40 for use with all standard fresh applications
+43F for use with sensitive produce applications adds a freeze warning flashing blue at +33.5

Troubleshooting
Magnet tool required to check and change settings
Problem 1. Device is always flashing =It is in high temp alarm mode, check and change setting or correct high temperature condition.
Problem 2. Device seems to always display purple and DEF = check and change setting if on case... if on walk in box disable DEF.
Problem 3. No light no display = Power problem. If possible switch display assembly with a known good 8" display assembly. If device lights
up, check power supply and or harness connection to device. If it doesn't light up need new 8" display assembly.
Problem 4. - - - e with flashing amber light = Sensor error. Check for crimp/cut or connection problem.
Problem 5. Solid green or Purple with completely blank display = Light ballast in lineup is producing noise. Turn off all case lights to each case
in lineup. When TS devices begin to show temperature, start turning on lights one at a time (check for flickering) until the problem appears and
address problem ballast. Or you can install a noise filter on the power supply side of the TS, contact Tech support for assistance.
Problem 6. Unsure if components needed are for Spine or Node = Check TS power harness at power supply connection. If 2 pin connection
green power harness it is a single temp Node. If beige harness with 2 pin connection and 2 exposed wires for dual temp, it is a dual temp Node
device. If ST-2 or ST-3 connector are used, it is Spine.
Problem 7. Unsure of difference between BGA and GAR = BGA has a color chart around the device with Frozen, Fresh, Alarm and Defrost.
GAR device has a simple black ring, no color chart.
BGA Color description
Blue: Frozen
Green: Fresh
Flashing Amber: Needs service
Purple: Defrost cycle enabled
GAR Color description
Green: Normal operation for any setting
Flashing Amber: in alarm for 1-2 hours
Flashing Red: in alarm more than 2 hours
