Installing the Door Switch (Option)
When installing CargoLink wireless door switches, see TK 55151 CargoLink Installation Manual.
NOTE: These instructions (pages 56-59) are intended as reference
guide only to assist with a typical hard
wired door switch installation.
Your installation may be different depending on the trailer, the
amount and types of doors and the customers particular
requirements.
Door Switch Components
The door switch consists of a magnet, a switch, non-magnetic mounting
hardware and a interface harness to connect to the host unit.
• The magnet is always mounted on the door.
• The switch (with harness) is always mounted to a stationary location.
• Two short interface harnesses are available depending on your
particular kit. One allows a single door switch in a single zone to
activate a unit shutdown. The other allows two door switches in the
same zone to each activate a unit shutdown.
Non-magnetic mounting hardware is included to install the switches. If
alternate hardware is used it must also be non-magnetic or the door switch
will not operate properly.
Installer is to supply and fabricate the harness connecting the interface
harness to the door switch per the table below. The harness should be 18
AWG or better, 3 wires, color coded RED, BLACK and WHITE.
Mounting Locations
The door switch can be mounted on the inside or outside of either swing
out or roll-up doors and can be mounted in various positions to
accommodate particular applications.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
• The door switch must be installed away from traffic (i.e. forklifts) or
protected from it.
• The door switch and magnet must be installed parallel to each other,
not perpendicular. Long cross hair aligns to long cross hair.
• It is important that a maximum gap of 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) is maintained
between the door switch and the magnet. Shims may be required and
must be a non-magnetic material (aluminum, wood, plastic, etc.) or the
door switch will not operate properly.
(Detail A) Ceiling Mounted
1. Mount the magnet flush with the top edge of the door and secure with
supplied hardware.
2. Close the door and mount the switch to the door sill parallel with the
magnet, being sure the “cross hairs” are aligned and that the maximum
gap of 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) is maintained.
(Detail B) Floor Mounted
1. Mount the magnet flush with the bottom edge of the door and secure
with supplied hardware.
2. Close the door and mount the switch to the floor parallel with the
magnet, being sure the “cross hairs” are aligned and that the maximum
gap of 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) is maintained.
(Detail C) Outside Door Installation
1. Mount the magnet flush with the top edge of the door and secure with
supplied hardware.
2. Close the door and mount the switch to the door sill parallel with the
magnet, being sure the “cross hairs” are aligned and that the maximum
gap of 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) is maintained.
