2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Models XR40C, format 32 x 74 mm, and XR40D, DIN rail format, are microprocessor based controllers, suitable for applications on medium or low temperature refrigerating units. They have 2 relay outputs to control compressor and defrost, which can be either electrical or reverse cycle (hot gas). It is also provided with two NTC or PTC probe inputs, one for temperature control, the other, to be located onto the evaporator, to control the defrost termination temperature. The instrument is fully configurable through special parameters that can be easily programmed through the keyboard.

3. CONTROLLING LOADS

3.1 COMPRESSOR

The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe with a positive differential from the set point: if the temperature increases and reaches set point plus differential the compressor is started and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.

In case of fault in the thermostat probe the start and stop of the compressor are timed through parameters “COn” and “COF”.

3.2 DEFROST

Two defrost modes are available through the “tdF” parameter: defrost through electrical heater (tdF = EL) and hot gas defrost (tdF = in). Other parameters are used to control the interval between defrost cycles (IdF), its maximum length (MdF) and two defrost modes: timed or controlled by the evaporator’s probe (P2P). At the end of defrost dripping time is started, its length is set in the FSt parameter. With FSt =0 the dripping time is disabled.

5.1 HOW TO SEE THE ALARM DURATION AND MAX (MIN) TEMPERATURE

If the alarm LED is on, an alarm has taken place. To see the kind of alarm, the max (min) reached temperature and alarm duration do as follows:

1. Push the Up or Down key.

2. On the display the following message is shown:: “HAL” for high temperature alarm (“LAL” fot the minimum allarm), followed by the Maximum (minimum) temperature. Then the “tiM” (tiMe) message is displayed, followed by the “Duration” in h.mm.

3. Then the instrument displays the temperature once again.

NOTE1: if an alarm is still occurring the “tim” shows the partial duration. NOTE2: the alarm is recorded when the temperature come back to normal values

5.2 HOW TO RESET A RECORDED ALARM OR ONE THAT IS

STILL OCCURRING

1. Hold the SET key pressed for more than 3s, while the recorded alarm is

displayed. (the rSt message will be displayed)

2. To confirm the operation, the “rSt” message starts blinking and the normal

temperature will be displayed.

7. PARAMETERS

NOTE: the parameters preceded by dots are in the Hidden Menu. REGULATION Hy Differential: (0,1 ÷ 25,5°C / 1÷255 °F) Intervention differential for set point.

Compressor Cut IN is Set Point Plus Differential (Hy). Compressor Cut OUT is when the temperature reaches the set point.

1592007231

• LS Minimum set point: (- 50°C÷SET/-58°F÷SET): Sets the minimum

acceptable value for the set point.

• US Maximum set point: (SET÷110°C/ SET÷230°F). Set the maximum

acceptable value for set point.

Ot Thermostat probe calibration: (-12.0÷12.0°C;

-120÷120°F) allows to adjust possible offset of the thermostat probe.

P2P Evaporator probe presence: n= not present: the defrost stops by time; y=

present: the defrost stops by temperature.

• OE Evaporator probe calibration: (-12.0÷12.0°C; -120÷120°F). allows to

adjust possible offset of the evaporator probe.

• OdS Outputs activation delay at start up: (0÷255min) This function is

enabled at the initial start up of the instrument and inhibits any output activation for the period of time set in the parameter.

AC Anti-short cycle delay: (0÷50 min) minimum interval between the

compressor stop and the following restart.

• CCt Compressor ON time during continuous cycle: (0.0÷24.0h; res.

10min) Allows to set the length of the continuous cycle: compressor stays on without interruption for the CCt time. Can be used, for instance, when the room is filled with new products.

• COn Compressor ON time with faulty probe: (0÷255 min) time during which

the compressor is active in case of faulty thermostat probe. With COn=0 compressor is always OFF.

• COF Compressor OFF time with faulty probe: (0÷255 min) time during

which the compressor is OFF in case of faulty thermostat probe. With COF=0

compressor is always active.

DISPLAY

• CF Temperature measurement unit:

°C=Celsius; °F=Fahrenheit. WARNING: When the measurement unit is changed the SET point and the values of the parameters Hy, LS, US, Ot, ALU and ALL have to be checked and modified if necessary).

rES Resolution (for °C): (in = 1°C; dE = 0.1 °C) allows decimal point display.

• Lod Display : select which probe is displayed by the instrument: P1 =

Thermostat probe; P2 = Evaporator probe

DEFROST tdF Defrost type: EL = electrical heater; in = hot gas

dtE Defrost termination temperature: (-50÷50 °C/

-58÷122°F) (Enabled only when EdF=Pb) sets the temperature measured by the evaporator probe, which causes the end of defrost.

IdF Interval between defrost cycles: (0÷120h) Determines the time interval

between the beginning of two defrost cycles.

MdF (Maximum) length for defrost: (0÷255min) When P2P = n, (not evaporator

probe: timed defrost) it sets the defrost duration, when P2P = y (defrost end based on temperature) it sets the maximum length for defrost.

• dSd Start defrost delay: ( 0÷99min) This is useful when different defrost start

times are necessary to avoid overloading the plant.

• dFd Temperature displayed during defrost: (rt = real temperature; it =

temperature at defrost start; SEt = set point; dEF = “dEF” label)

• dAd MAX display delay after defrost: (0÷255min). Sets the maximum time

between the end of defrost and the restarting of the real room temperature display.

• Fdt Drip time: (0

termination temperature and the restoring of the control’s normal operation. This time allows the evaporator to eliminate water drops that might have formed due to defrost.

• dPo First defrost after start-up: y = immediately; n = after the IdF time

• dAF Defrost delay after continuous cycle: (0

between the end of the fast freezing cycle and the following defrost related to it.

ALARMS

• ALC Temperature alarms configuration: (Ab; rE)

Ab= absolute temperature: alarm temperature is given by the ALL or ALU

values. rE = temperature alarms are referred to the set point. Temperature alarm is enabled when the temperature exceeds the “SET+ALU” or “SET-ALL” values.

ALU MAXIMUM temperature alarm: (SET÷110°C; SET÷230°F) when this

temperature is reached the alarm is enabled, after the “ALd” delay time.
