APPENDIX V: APPLICATION SPECIFICATON
V.1 Control sensor
The control sensor must always be connected and  
is used for controlling the cut-in and cut-out of the 
compressor according to the set-point. The sensor is 
also used for the displayed temperature.
Placement of sensor:
Vertical coolers with fan
Most common placement is in the return air to the 
evaporator. The sensor can be placed close to the 
fan – even when the fan is pulsed during compres-
sor off periods: The updating of the temperature is 
blocked when the fan is stopped and only updated 
when the fan has been running for a while, so that 
the heat from the fan does not affect the tempera-
ture reading.
For applications sensitive to sub-zero temperatures, 
sensor placement in the evaporator outlet air can be 
considered.
Vertical freezers with fan
Placement in the return air or  in the freezer 
compartment 
Coolers without fan
the best results are normally obtained when the 
sensor is placed at the side-wall, 10 cm from the 
back and approximately  at 1/3 from the bottom or 
where the evaporator ends. 
The control sensor must always be connected and  
is used for controlling the cut-in and cut-out of the 
compressor according to the set-point. The sensor is 
also used for the displayed temperature.
