The temperature in the appliance is registered by one or two
temperature sensors which are located in the air ow before the
evaporator (S3) or after the evaporator (S4) respectively. A setting
for thermostat, alarm thermostat and display reading determines
the inuence the two sensor values should have for each individual function.
In addition product sensor S6, which can be optionally placed in
the appliance, can be used to register the temperature near the
required product in a certain place within the appliance.
The temperature of the evaporator is registered with the S5 sensor
which can be used as a defrosting sensor.
In addition to the output for the solenoid valve, the controller has
5 relay outputs which are dened by the use selected – the individual usage options are described in detail on page 12.

User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Operation
Cooling
Regulation can be performed on the basis of the following principles:
Direct expansion
The temperature is controlled either through the starting/stopping of a compressor or through the opening/closing of a solenoid valve in the liquid line.
Brine
Here, the temperature is controlled by opening/closing a solenoid
valve/motor valve in the brine supply.
Temperature control
The temperature in the appliance is registered by one or two
temperature sensors which are located in the air ow before the
evaporator (S3) or after the evaporator (S4) respectively. A setting
for the thermostat, alarm thermostat and display reading determines how much the two sensor values should inuence each
individual function, e.g. 50% will produce an equal value from
both sensors.
The actual temperature control can take place in two ways: as an
ordinary ON/OFF regulation with a dierential, or as a modulating control where the temperature variation will not be nearly as
great as in ON/OFF control. There is however a limit to the use of
a modulating control as it can only be used in DX central plant or
brine system.
In principle, regulation in this system is the same as described
above, but is now performed with a PI function. This results in
reduced uctuation of the regulated air temperature with stable
loads, giving a more constant air humidity.
The function gives a constant temperature regulation with a temperature value, which lies half-way between the on and o values
of the thermostat.
The operating parameters of the PI regulation are automatically
optimised via the preset on and o values and the degree of
opening of the valve.
The dierential aects the amplication of the regulator and can
therefore not be set to less than 2K in order to ensure regulation
stability.
In a decentralised plant the thermostat function with ON/OFF
control should be selected.
In a central plant the thermostat function may either be selected
for ON/OFF control or modulating control.
Temperature monitoring
Just as it is possible for the thermostat, the alarm monitoring can
be set with a weighting between S3 and S4 so that you can decide
how much the two sensor values should inuence the alarm
monitoring. Minimum and maximum limits can be set for alarm
temperature and time delays. A longer time delay can be set for
high temperature alarms after defrosting, appliance cleaning or
start-up.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Thermostat bands
Thermostat bands can be used benecially for appliances where
dierent product types are stored which require dierent temperature conditions. It is possible to change between the two
dierent thermostat bands via a contact signal on a digital input.
Separate thermostat and alarm limits can be set for each thermostat band – also for the product sensor.
Night setback of thermostat value
In refrigeration appliances there may be big load dierences
between the shop’s opening and closing hours, especially if night
lids/blinds are used. The thermostat reference may be raised here
without it having any eect on the product temperature.
Change-over between day and night operation can take place, as
follows:
• via an external switch signal.
• via a signal from the data communication system.
Product sensor
A separate optional product sensor S6, which may be placed
in the appliance, can also be used and which can register and
monitor the temperature in the warmest part of the appliance.
There are separate alarm limits and time delays for the product
sensor.
Appliance cleaning
This function makes it easy for the shop’s sta to carry out a
cleaning of the appliance according to a standard procedure.
Appliance cleaning is activated via a signal – as a rule via a key
switch placed on the appliance.
Appliance cleaning is carried out via three phases:
1 - at the rst activation the refrigeration is stopped, but the fans
keep on operating in order to defrost the evaporators. ”Fan” is
shown on the display.
2 - at the second activation the fans are also stopped and the
appliance can now be cleaned. ”OFF” is shown on the display.
3 - At the third activation refrigeration is recommenced. The
display will show the actual appliance temperature (o97
setting).
When appliance cleaning is activated a cleaning alarm is transmitted to the normal alarm recipient. A later processing of these
alarms will document that the appliance has been cleaned as
often as planned.
Alarm monitoring
There are no temperature alarms during appliance cleaning.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Defrost
Depending on the application you may choose between the following defrost methods:
Natural: Here the fans are kept operating during the defrost
Electric: The heating element is activated
Hotgas: Here the solenoid valves are controlled so that the
hotgas can ow through the evaporator
Brine: Here, the solenoid/motor valve is opened on the supply
pipe, so that hot brine can be fed through.
Defrost sequence
1) Pump down
2) Defrost
3) Waiting position after defrost
4) Draining (drain delay. Hotgas only)
5) Drip o
6) Delay of fan
Hot gas defrost (application 4 only)
This type of connection can be used on systems with hotgas
defrost, but only in small systems in, say, supermarkets – the
functional content has not been adapted to systems with large
charges
Relay 2 is used for suction valve
Relay 4’s change-over function can be used by the bypass valve
and/or the hotgas valve.
Can be used together with PMLX and GPLX valves.
The time delay "d23" must be installed, which ensures that the
PMLX/GPLX valve is closed completely before the hotgas is turned
on.
Hot gas application
Drip tray heating element
It is possible to control a heating element in the drip tray for
hot gas defrosting. When defrosting is commenced, the heating
element is activated. The heating element remains activated until
a set time after defrosting has ended by time or temperature.
Start of defrost
A defrost can be started in dierent ways
Interval: Defrost is started at xed time intervals, say, every
eighth hour. An interval must ALWAYS be set to
a "higher" value than the period set between two
defrostings when a schedule or network signal is used.
Refrigeration time: Defrost is started at xed refrigeration time
intervals, in other words, a low need for refrigeration will
”postpone” the defrost
Schedule: Here defrost can be started at xed times of the
day and night. However, max. 6 times
Contact: Defrost is started with a contact signal on a digital input
Network: The signal for defrost is received from a system unit
via the data communication
Manual: An extra defrost can be activated from the controller’s
lower-most button
All the mentioned methods can be used at random – if any of
them is activated a defrost will be started.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Coordinated defrost
There are two ways in which coordinated defrost can be arranged.
Either with wire connections between the controllers or via data
communication
Wire connections
The digital input DI2 is connected between the current controllers.
When one controller starts a defrost all the other controllers will
follow suit and likewise start a defrost. After the defrost the individual controllers will move into waiting position. When all are in
waiting position there will be a change-over to refrigeration.
Coordination via data communication
Here the system unit handles the coordination.
The controllers are gathered in defrosting groups and the system
unit ensures that defrosting is started in the group according to a
weekly schedule.
When a controller has completed defrosting, it sends a message
to the system unit and then goes into a waiting position. When
every controller in the group is in a waiting position, refrigeration
is again permitted in all the individual controllers.
Defrost on demand
Based on refrigeration time
When the aggregate refrigeration time has passed a xed time, a
defrost will be started.
Max. 10
System manager
Melting function
This function will stop the air ow in the evaporator from being reduced by frost created by uninterrupted operation for a long time.
The function is activated if the thermostat temperature has
remained in the range between -5°C and +10°C for a longer
period than the set melting interval. The refrigeration will then be
stopped for the set melting period. The frost will be melted so that
the air ow and hence the evaporator’s capacity will be greatly
improved.
Real-time clock
The controller has a built-in real-time clock which can be used to
start defrosts. This clock has a power reserve of four hours.
If the controller is equipped with data communication, the clock
will automatically be updated from the system unit.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Control of two compressors
General:
The two compressors must be of a type that can start up against a
high pressure.
The running compressor will continue until the temperature has
reached the cutout value. Then it will cut out. When the temperature again reaches the middle of the dierential, a compressor will
again be started.
If one compressor cannot maintain the temperature within the
dierential, the second compressor will also be started.
The compressor's settings for ”Min On time” and ”Min O time”
will always have top priority during normal regulation. But if one
of the override functions is activated, the ”Min On time” will be
disregarded.
Cyclical operation:
The two compressors must be of the same size.
When the controller demands refrigeration it will rst cut in the
compressor with the shortest operating time.
After the time delay the second compressor will be cut in.
When the temperature has dropped to ”the middle of the dierential”, the compressor with the longest operation time will be cut
out.
If one of the compressors has run on its own for two hours, the
compressors will be changed over so that operational time is balanced.
Sequential operation:
Here, compressor 1 will start as the rst one, and, when needed,
compressor 2 will be started.
Determined by thermostat band:
The compressor operating mode can be set in application 9 so
that both compressors run sequentially in thermostat band 1, but
compressor 2 is not permitted in thermostat band 2.
Railheat
It is possible to pulse-control the power to the rail heat in order to
save energy. Pulse control can either be controlled according to
day/night load or dew point.
Pulse control according to day and night
Various ON periods can be set for day and night operation.
A period time is set as well as the percentage part of the period in
which the rail heat is ON.
Pulse control according to dew point
In order to use this function a system manager of the type AK-SM
is required which can measure dew point and distribute the current dew point to the appliance controllers. For this the rail heat’s
ON period is controlled from the current dew point.
Two dew point values are set in the appliance control:
• One where the eect must be max. i.e.100%. (o87)
• One where the eect must be min. (o86).
At a dew point which is equal to or lower than the value in 086,
the eect will be the value indicated in o88.
In the area between the two dew point values the controller will
manage the power to be supplied to the rail heat.
Rail heat
During defrosting
During defrosting the rail heat will be controlled by the setting in
"d27" (O, On or pulsing).
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Fan
Pulse control
To obtain energy savings it is possible to pulse control the power
supply to the evaporator fans.
Pulse control can be accomplished in one of the following ways:
- during the thermostat’s cutout period (cold room)
- during night operation and during the thermostat’s cutout period (appliance with night lid /blind)
A period of time is set as well as the percentage of this period of
time where the fans have to be operating.
Cutout of fans during plant breakdowns
If the refrigeration in a breakdown situation stops, the
temperature in the cold room may rise quickly as a result of the
power supply from large fans. In order to prevent this situation the
controller can stop the fans if the temperature at S5 exceeds a set
limit value.
Light function
The function can be used for controlling the light in a refrigeration
appliance or in a coldroom. It can also be used for controlling a
motorised night blind.
The light function can be dened in three ways:
- the light is controlled via a signal from a door contact. Together
with this function a time delay can be set so that the light is kept
on for 2 minutes after the door has been closed.
- the light is controlled via the day/night function
- the light is controlled via the data communication from a system
unit.
Here there are two operational options if data communication
should fail:
- The light can go ON
- The light can stay in its current mode.
The light load must be connected to the NC switch on the relay.
This ensures that the light remains on in the appliance if power to
the controller should fail.
The light is switched o when "r12" (Main switch) is set to o (see
o98).
The light is switched o when the appliance cleaning function is
activated.
Night blind
Motorised night blind can be controlled automatically from the
controller. The night blinds will follow the status of the light
function. When the light is switched on, the night blinds opens
and when the light is switched o, the night blinds close again.
When the night blinds are closed, it is possible to open them using
a switch signal on the digital input. If this input is activated, the
night blinds will open and the refrigeration appliance can be lled
with new products. If the input is activated again, the blinds close
again.
When the night blind function is used, the thermostat function
can control with dierent weightings between the S3 and S4
sensors. A weighting during day operation and another when the
blind is closed.
A night blind is open when the appliance cleaning function is
activated.
A setting can dene that the night blind is open when "r12" (Main
switch) is set to o (see o98).
When the night blind rolls down, the fans will stop for three
minutes so that the air circulation does not interrupt the
positioning of the blind.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Digital inputs
There are two digital inputs DI1 and DI2 with contact function and
one digital input DI3 with high voltage signal.
They can be used for the following functions:
- Retransmission of contacts position via data communication
- Door contact function with alarm
- Starting a defrost
- Main switch - start/stop of cooling
- Night setback
- Thermostat bands switch
- General alarm monitoring
- Case cleaning
- Forced cooling
- Override of night blinds
- Case shut down
- Coordinated defrost (DI2 only)
- Forced closing of valve (DI 3 only)
Forced closing
The solenoid valve can be closed with an external signal ( "Forced
closing").
If a defrost cycle is in progress, the forced closing status will not be
re-established until the defrost is completed.
The signal can be received from the DI3-input or via the data communication.
During a forced closing the fans can be set to stop or remain in
operation, and a defrost cycle can be set to be permitted (o90).
Door contact
The door contact function can via the digital inputs be dened for
two dierent applications:
Alarm monitoring
The controller monitors the door contact and delivers an alarm
message if the door has been opened for a longer period than
the set alarm delay.
Alarm monitoring and stop of refrigeration
When the door is opened the refrigeration is stopped, i.e. the
injection, the compressor and the fan are stopped and light
switch on.
If the door remains open for a longer time than the set restart
time, refrigeration will be resumed. This will ensure that
refrigeration is maintained even if the door is left open or if the
door contact should be defective. If the door remains open for
a longer period than the set alarm delay an alarm will also be
triggered.
Heating function
The heating function is used to prevent the temperature
becoming too low, e.g. in a cutting room, etc. The limit for when
the heating function cuts o is set as an oset value under the
current cutout limit for the refrigeration thermostat. This ensures
that refrigeration and heating do not occur simultaneously.
The dierential for the heating thermostat has the same value
as for the refrigeration thermostat. To prevent that the heating
thermostat cuts in during short-term drops in air temperature a
time delay can be set for when to change from refrigeration to
heating.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Data communication
The controller has xed built-in MODBUS data communication.
If there is a requirement for a dierent form of data
communication, a Lon RS 485 or DANBUSS module can be
inserted in the controller.
The connection must then be to terminal RS 485.
(To use a Lon RS 485 module and gateway type AKA 245 the
Gateway software must be Version 6.20 or higher.)
Display
The controller has one plug for a display. Here display type EKA
163B or EKA 164B (max. length 15 m) can be connected.
EKA 163B is a display for readings.
EKA 164B is both for readings and operation.
The connection between display and controller is with a cable
which has a plug at both ends.
If the distance between display and controller is greater than 15
m, the connection must take another form.
! Address o03 > 0
An extra module must also be mounted in the controller if data
communication is used.
The built-in MODBUS data communication is used so that the
display connection and the data communication to the other
controllers must take place via a module. The module can be:
Lon RS 485, DANBUSS or MODBUS.
When a display is to be connected to the built-in MODBUS, the
display can advantageously be changed to a type with screw
terminals. I.e. the type EKA 163A or EKA 164A.
If connection of two displays is required, one must be connected
to the plug (max. 15 m) and the other must then be connected to
the xed data communication.
The controllers address must be set higher than 0 in order for the
display to be able to communicate with the controller.
Important
All connections to the data communication MODBUS, DANBUSS
and RS 485 must comply with the requirements for data
communication cables. See literature: RC8AC.
Override
The controller contains a number of functions which can be used together with the override function in the master gateway/system
manager.

Applications
Here is a survey of the controller’s eld of application.
A setting will dene the relay outputs so that the
controller’s interface will be targeted to the chosen
application.
On page 28 you can see the relevant settings for the
respective wiring diagrams.
General:
The eight applications are all adapted for
commercial refrigeration systems in the form of
either refrigeration appliances or cold storage
rooms.
In general all have outputs for:
• Solenoid valve or compressor
• Fan
• Defrost
• Light
In addition they have dierent uses and thereby
input and outputs.
Application 1
Standard applications.
S3 and S4 are temperature sensors. The application will determine whether
either one or the other or both sensors are to be used. S3 is placed in the air
ow before the evaporator. S4 after the evaporator.
A percentage setting will determine how the control is to be based. S5 is a
defrost sensor and is placed on/in the ns of the evaporator.
S6 is a product sensor.
DI1, DI2 and DI3 are contact functions that can be used for one of the following functions: door function, alarm function, defrost start, external main
switch, night operation, change of thermostat reference, appliance cleaning,
forced refrigeration or coordinated defrost. DI3 has a 230 V input. See the
functions in settings o02, o37and o84.

Application 2
Control of night blinds
Night blinds follow the status of the light function
– when the light is switched on, the night blinds
are up and when the light is switched o, the night
blinds are down. In addition a digital input provides
the option of forced opening of the blinds so that
the appliance can be lled with products.
Application 3
”Two-compressor” operation.
The two compressors must be of the same size. On
start-up (after defrosting, operational stop, etc.)
both compressors are started with a set time shift.
One compressor starts at half the dierential so that
an optimum adaptation of compressor capacity
takes place for the current load in the appliance/
room. There is automatic runtime equalisation
during cyclic operation.
For a more detailed description please refer to
earlier sections in the manual.
Application 4
Hot gas defrosting.
Hot gas defrosting is adapted to commercial
appliances/rooms with limited system lling.
One relay controls the main valve in the suction
line.
A changeover relay controls both the hot gas valve
and the drain valve.
This means that there is no time delay between
stops of hot gas and start of draining.
User Guide | Controller for appliance control, AK-CC 450
Application 5
Heat thermostat
The heat thermostat is typically used if the
temperature is to be controlled within narrower
limits, e.g. for cutting rooms, etc. The heating
thermostat can be set as a dierence in relation to
the cutout limit for the refrigeration thermostat so
that simultaneous refrigeration and heating are
avoided.
Application 6
Two refrigeration sections – two defrost outputs
This application is for refrigeration appliances with
one valve, two evaporators and two refrigeration
sections. The temperature is controlled and is
always alarm monitored according to the S4
temperature.
The two S3 sensors send a signal to the display in
each section.
Application 7
Two refrigeration sections – individual alarm/
display via S3
This application is for refrigeration appliances with
one valve, one evaporator and two refrigeration
sections. The temperature is always controlled
according to the S4 temperature.
There are two S3 sensors. Alarm monitoring and
display readings take place individually via the
"S3" sensors in each refrigeration section.
There are separate alarm delays for each cooling
section.

Normal display
Normally the temperature value from one of the two thermostat sensors S3 or S4 or a
mixture of the two measurements is displayed.
In o17 the ratio is determined.
ThermostatThermostat control
Set point
Regulation is based on the set value plus a displacement, if applicable. The value is set via a
push on the centre button.
The set value can be locked or limited to a range with the settings in r02 and r 03.
The reference at any time can be seen in "u91 Cutout temp".
Dierential
When the temperature is higher than the reference + the set dierential, the compressor
relay will be cut in. It will cut out again when the temperature comes down to the set reference.
Ref. Dif.
Setpoint limitation
The controller’s setting range for the setpoint may be narrowed down, so that much too
high or much too low values are not set accidentally - with resulting damages.
To avoid a too high setting of the setpoint, the max. allowable reference value may be
lowered.
To avoid a too low setting of the setpoint, the min. allowable reference value may be
increased.
Correction of the display’s temperature
If the temperature at the products and the temperature received by the controller are not
identical, an oset adjustment of the display temperature can be carried out.

Start / stop of refrigeration
With this setting refrigeration can be started, stopped or a manual override of the outputs
can be allowed. (For manual control the value is set at -1. Then the valve outlet and the
relay outlets can be force-controlled by the respective reading parameters (u23, u58, etc.).
Here the read value can be overwritten.)
Start / stop of refrigeration can also be accomplished with the external switch function
connected to a DI input.
Stopped refrigeration will give a ”Standby alarm”.
Night setback value
The thermostat’s reference will be the setpoint plus this value when the controller changes
over to night operation. (Select a negative value if there is to be cold accumulation.)
Thermostat function
Here it is dened how the thermostat is to operate. Either as an ordinary ON/OFF thermostat or as a modulating thermostat.
1: ON/OFF thermostat
2: pulse width modulation (PWM)
With "PWM" the refrigeration/brine valve will limit the ow of refrigerant so that the temperature variation will be less than for the ON/OFF thermostat.
The dierential (r01) must not be set lower than 2K for "PWM".
In a decentralised plant you must select the ON/OFF thermostat setting, so that with applications 3 and 9 the setting is forced to "1".
Selection of thermostat sensor
Here you dene the sensor the thermostat is to use for its control function. S3, S4, or a
combination of them. With the setting 0%, only S3 is used (Sin). With 100%, only S4.

The controller can give an alarm in dierent situations. When there is an alarm all the lightemitting diodes (LED) will ash on the controller front panel, and the alarm relay will cut in.
Alarm delay (short alarm delay on air temperature)
If the upper or the lower alarm limit values are exceeded, a timer function will commence.
The alarm will not become active until the set time delay has been passed. The time delay
is set in minutes.
Time delay for door alarm
The time delay is set in minutes.
The function is dened in o02 , o37 or in o84.
Time delay for cooling (long alarm delay)
This time delay is used during start-up, during defrost, immediately after a defrost.
There will be change-over to the normal time delay (A03) when the temperature has
dropped below the set upper alarm limit.
The time delay is set in minutes.
Upper alarm limit
Here you set when the alarm for high temperature is to start. The limit value is set in °C

CompressorCompressor control
The compressor relay works in conjunction with the thermostat. When the thermostat calls
for refrigeration the compressor relay will be operated.
Running times
To prevent irregular operation, values can be set for the time the compressor is to run once
it has been started. And for how long it at least has to be stopped.
The running times are not observed when defrosts start.

DefrostDefrost control
The controller contains a timer function that is zeroset after each defrost start.
The timer function will start a defrost if/when the interval time is passed.
The timer function starts when voltage is connected to the controller, but it is displaced
the rst time by the setting in d05.
If there is power failure the timer value will be saved and continue from here when the
power returns.
This timer function can be used as a simple way of starting defrosts, but it will always act
as safety defrost if one of the subsequent defrost starts is not received.
The controller also contains a real-time clock. By means of settings of this clock and times
for the required defrost times, defrost can be started at xed times of the day.
Defrost start can also be accomplished via data communication, via contact signals or
manual start-up.
All starting methods will function in the controller. The dierent functions have to be set,
so that multiple defrosts are avoided..
Defrost can be accomplished with electricity, hotgas or brine.
The actual defrost will be stopped based on time or temperature with a signal from a
temperature sensor.

Defrost method
Here you set whether defrost is to be accomplished with electricity, gas, brine or (none).
During defrost the defrost relay will be cut in.
(With brine, the “cooling valve” will be kept open during the defrosting).
Defrost stop temperature
The defrost is stopped at a given temperature which is measured with a sensor (the sensor
is dened in d10).
The temperature value is set.
Interval between defrost starts
The function is zeroset and will start the timer function at each defrost start. When the
time has expired the function will start a defrost.
The function is used as a simple defrost start, or it may be used as a safeguard if the normal
signal fails to appear.
If master/slave defrost without clock function or without data communication is used, the
interval time will be used as max. time between defrosts.
If a defrost start via data communication does not take place, the interval time will be used
as max. time between defrosts.
When there is defrost with clock function or data communication, the interval time must
be set for a somewhat longer period of time than the planned one, as the interval time will
otherwise start a defrost which a little later will be followed by the planned one.
In connection with power failure the interval time will be maintained, and when the power
returns the interval time will continue from the maintained value.
The interval time is not active when set to 0.
Max. defrost duration
This setting is a safety time so that the defrost will be stopped if there has not already been
a stop based on temperature or via coordinated defrost.
Time staggering for defrost cutins during start-up
The function is only relevant if you have several refrigeration appliances or groups where
you want the defrost to be staggered in relation to one another. The function is furthermore only relevant if you have chosen defrost with interval start (d03).
The function delays the interval time d03 by the set number of minutes, but it only does
it once, and this at the very rst defrost taking place when voltage is connected to the
controller.
The function will be active after each and every power failure.
Drip-o time

Delay of output signal after start-up
After start-up or a power failure the controller’s functions can be delayed so that overloading of the electricity supply network is avoided.
Here you can set the time delay.
Digital input signal - DI1
The controller has a digital input 1 which can be used for one of the following functions:
O: The input is not used
1) Status display of a contact function
2) Door function. When the input is open it signals that the door is open. The refrigeration and the fans are stopped and light switched on. When the time setting in “A04” is
passed, an alarm will be given. The refrigeration will be resumed when time in o89 has
passed.
3) Door alarm. When the input is open it signals that the door is open and light on. When
the time setting in “A04” is passed, there will be alarm.
4) Defrost. The function is started with a pulse signal. The controller will register when the
DI input is activated. The controller will then start a defrost cycle.
5) Main switch. Regulation is carried out when the input is closed, and regulation is
stopped when the input is put in pos. OFF.
6) Night operation. When the input is closed, there will be regulation for night operation.
7) Thermostat band changeover. Switch to thermostat 2 (r21) when input is closed.
8) Separate alarm function. Alarm will be given when the input is closed.
9) Separate alarm function. Alarm will be given when the input is opened. (For 8 and 9 the
time delay is set in A27)
10) Case cleaning. The function is started with a pulse signal. See also description on page

Operation
Controller/Display
The values will be shown with three digits, and with a setting you
can determine whether the temperature is to be shown in °C or in
°F.
Light-emitting diodes (LED) on front panel
The LED’s on the front panel will light up when the relevant relay
is activated.
= Refrigeration
= Defrost
= Fan running
The light-emitting diodes will ash when there is an alarm.
In this situation you can download the error code to the display
and cancel/accept the alarm by giving the top button a brief push.
The buttons
When you want to change a setting, the upper and the lower
buttons will give you a higher or lower value depending on the
button you are pushing. But before you change the value, you
must have access to the menu. You obtain this by pushing the
upper button for a couple of seconds - you will then enter the column with parameter codes. Find the parameter code you want to
change and push the middle button until value for the parameter
is shown. When you have changed the value, save the new value
by once more pushing the middle button.
Get a good start
With the following procedure you can start regulation very quickly:
1 Open parameter r12 and stop the regulation (in a new and not
previously set unit, r12 will already be set to 0 which means
stopped regulation.)
2 Select electrical connection based on the drawings on page 12
and 13
3 Open parameter o61 and set the electric connection number in
it
4 Now select one of the preset settings from the table on page 27.
5 Open parameter o62 and set the number for the array of preset-
tings. The few selected settings will now be transferred to the
menu.
6 Open parameter r12 and start the regulation
7 Go through the survey of factory settings. The values in the grey
cells are changed according to your choice of settings. Make any
necessary changes in the respective parameters.
8 For network. Set the address in o03
9 Send address to system unit:
• MODBUS: Activate scan function in system unit
• If another data communication card is used in the controller:
- LON RS485: Activate the function o04

Conguration of alarm relay
P41111111
The alarm relay will be activated upon an alarm signal
from the following groups:
1 - High temperature alarms
2 - Low temperature alarms
4 - Sensor error
8 - Digital input is activated for alarm
16 - Defrost alarms
32 - Miscellaneous
The groups that are to activate the alarm relay must be set
by using a numerical value which is the sum of the groups
that must be activated.
(E.g. a value of 5 will activate all high temperature alarms
and all sensor errors).
0 = Cancel relay function
*) Can only be set when regulation is stopped (r12=0)
**) Can be controlled manually, but only when r12=-1
***) With access code 2 the access to these menus will be limited
Forced control
If you need to force-control an output, you should set r12 to -1 (manual mode). You should then select
the relevant relay function, e.g. u58. Go to the function by pressing the middle button. Select On.
Factory setting
If you need to return to the factory-set values, it can be done in this way:
- Cut out the supply voltage to the controller
- Keep upper and lower button depressed at the same time as you reconnect the supply voltage

Terminal 56 = screen
Terminal 57 = A+
Terminal 58 = B(Alternatively the terminals can be connected to an external
display type EKA 163A or 164A, but then they cannot be used
for data communication. Any data communication must then be
carried out by one of the other methods.)
Supply voltage
230 V a.c.
DO1
Connection of solenoid valve or relay for compressor. The coil
must be a 230 V a.c. coil.
DO2
Alarm
There is a connection between terminal 7 and 8 in alarm
situations and when the controller is without power.
Night blind
There is connection between terminal 7 and 9 when the night
blind is up/down.
Suction line valve
There is connection between terminal 7 and 9 when the
suction line must be open.
Rail heat
There is connection between terminal 7 and 8 when the
function must be active.
There is connection between terminal 10 and 11 when the
function must be active.
Heating element in drip tray
There is connection between terminal 10 and 11 when heating
takes place.
DO4

There is connection between terminal 12 and 14 when
defrosting takes place.
Hot gas / drain valve
There is connection between terminal 13 and 14 during normal
operation.
There is connection between terminal 12 and 14 when the hot
gas valves must open.
DO5
Fan
There is connection between terminal 15 and 16 when the fan
is on.
DO6
Light relay
There is connection between terminal 17 and 18 when the
light must be on.
DI3
Digital input signal.
The signal must have a voltage of 0 / 230 V AC.
The function is dened in o84.
Data communication
If data communication is used, it is important that the installation
of the data communication cable is performed correctly.
See separate literature No. RC8AC…
Electric noise
Cables for sensors, DI inputs and data communication must be
kept separate from other electric cables:
- Use separate cable trays
- Keep a distance between cables of at least 10 cm
- Long cables at the DI input should be avoided
Installation considerations
Accidental damage, poor installation, or site conditions, can give
rise to malfunctions of the control system, and ultimately lead to a
plant breakdown.
Every possible safeguard is incorporated into our products to
prevent this. However, a wrong installation, for example, could still
present problems. Electronic controls are no substitute for normal,
good engineering practice.
Danfoss wil not be responsible for any goods, or plant components, damaged as a result of the above defects. It is the installer's
responsibility to check the installation thoroughly, and to t the
necessary safety devices.
Special reference is made to the necessity of signals to the
controller when the compressor is stopped and to the need of
liquid receivers before the compressors.
Your local Danfoss agent will be pleased to assist with further
advice, etc.
The following controllers can be connected
up in this way:
EKC 204A, AK-CC 210, AK-CC 250,
AK-CC 450, AK-CC 550,
Refrigeration is resumed when all
controllers have “released” the signal for
defrost.
The setting of controllers to coordinate
their defrosting takes place in the
