6.1.5. Dewpoint Sensor Storage
Prior to installation, dewpoint sensors should be 
stored separately from the cables. Do not store cables 
and sensors together for a long period of time in a 
closed box or bag. The sensor should be separated 
from the cables when a shipment is received and 
stored apart, preferably exposed to room air. The 
sensors can become contaminated by outgassing from 
the cable insulation if kept in a closed up box or bag 
with the cable. Contamination can be reversed with 
exposure to room air over a period of weeks or in a 
temperature/humidity chamber over a period of three 
days. 
6.2. The Door Frame 
Temperature Sensor
6.2.1. Placement
The door frame temperature sensor should be 
placed in an area where it can measure the 
temperature of the door frame in the location on the 
door frame that stays the coldest. The coldest spot on 
a door frame is usually the bottom horizontal section 
of the stationary frame, under the center door (for 
cases with even-numbered doors), or near the center 
mullion (for cases with odd-numbered doors). Cooler 
doors may also be coldest at the top center of the 
frame. Figure 6-1 on page 7 shows an example of 
placement in a case with even-numbered doors — the 
sensor is placed under the door just to the left of the 
center mullion where the Control Link ACC is 
installed. Do not mount the sensor outside the case 
mullion - mount the sensor inside the case mullion.
Mount the case door frame temperature sensor 
along the door frame inside the frame. Secure the 
sensor in place by screwing it to the door frame using 
the mounting hole.
The sensor is supplied with a 16-foot (4.88-meter) 
cable. Connect the sensor into the 2-pin connector 
(labeled THERM) at the bottom (closest to the 
LEDs), low-voltage end of the Control Link ACC.
NOTE: If replacing the dewpoint sensor, 
replace the entire assembly (keep the existing 
cable).
