Danfoss KPU 19 Thermostat Installation Guide

Installation  
Select an accessible location, where  
the thermostat will not be subject  
to damage. Mount the KPU 19 on a  
bracket or on a completely flat surface.  
Mounting on an uneven surface may  
cause incorrect thermostat operation.  
Use only the mounting holes provided  
at the back of the metal housing.  
Do not make additional holes.  
Locking mounting holes must be  
fastened at position A as shown in  
diagram to the right.  
Fastening at position “Bmay result  
in housing deformation and KPU 19  
malfunction.  
A
The KPU 19 thermostat and the  
sensing bulb can be mounted in any  
position.  
The sensing element is filled in with  
liquid expansion type charging with  
no limitations in terms of temperature  
at switch body (TS), temperature at  
sensing bulb (TB) or temperature at  
capillary tube (TC). KPU 19 can operate  
in all following conditions:  
Fast changes of the measured  
temperature will cause thermostat  
measurements lags behind actual  
temperature changes in the  
application. Make sure to keep  
temperature variable acceleration  
within 3 minutes per 1.8 °F at liquid, or  
within 18 minutes per 1.8 °F at air. KPU  
should be installed in a place in which  
harmful environmental conditions like  
radiation from sun, lamps or radiator is  
minimalized.  
It is recommended to install the  
thermostat at a place where vibration  
is 1G or less.  
Important  
Do not dent or deform the bulb of the  
thermostat, as doing so could damage  
the bulb and cause charge

leakage.  
Cooling due to the extensive air flow  
might affect thermostat performance  
as well.  
Do not turn any other screws except  
screws on the scale plate, on the micro  
switch knob and on the terminal block.  
General recommendations for  
capillary tube and bulb installation:  
1. Protect the capillary tube from  
damage due to vibration.  
a) When the thermostat unit is  
mounted directly on the compressor,  
the capillary tube must be secured to  
the compressor so that both vibrate  
together.  
b) For mounting otherwise, form  
surplus capillary tube into a loose  
loop and secure the loop to the base  
on which the thermostat is mounted.  
3. Avoid sharp bends (with the radius  
of 1/2" or less) and bending the capillary  
tube at the same point several times,  
as these actions can weaken the  
material and increase the likelihood of  
the tube cracking.  
6. For thermostats with room sensor  
coils, make sure that placement allows  
free airflow around the coil and bulb.  
At the same time, ensure that the bulb  
is not exposed to drafts from doors, or  
to heat radiated from the evaporator  
surface. Make sure that the bulb does  
not come into contact with a wall  
surface. Never mount the thermostat  
directly on a cold wall. Instead, mount  
the unit on an insulating plate.  
4. Bending of the capillary tube within  
1.75" from soldering point with bulb is  
not allowed.  
5. Form and locate the capillary tube  
away from sharp or abrasive objects  
that might damage it.  
7. KPU 19 sensing bulb is made of  
copper, copper alloy, silver solder – do  
not use it for media which are harmful  
for these materials.  
2. Leave a little slack in the capillary  
tube to help dampen vibration.
