Survey of functions ........................................................................................ 15
Introduction
Application
Complete refrigeration appliance control with great exibility to
adapt to all types of refrigeration appliances and cold storage
rooms.
Advantages
• Energy optimisation of the whole refrigeration appliance
• One controller for several dierent refrigeration appliances
• Integrated display at the front of the controller
• Quick set-up with predened settings
• Built-in data communication
• Built-in clock function with power reserve
Principle
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 outlet to the electronic injection valve of the
type AKV, the controller has 5 relay outputs which are dened by
the use selected – the individual usage options are described in
detail on page 12.
Here is an overview of the controller’s usage options.
A setting will congure input and outputs so that the controller’s
operation interface is directed at the selected application.
The current settings for the respective uses can be found on page
28.
Application 1-8
These uses are applied to standard appliances or cold storage
rooms with one valve, one evaporator and one refrigeration section.
The sensors are used according to standard principles.
The output functions change depending on the selected application.
Application 9
This use is for refrigeration appliances with one valve, two evaporators and two refrigeration sections.
Here the temperature and alarm monitoring are always controlled
using the S4 sensor.
The S3 sensor is used for display readings.
The product sensor is replaced by an extra defrosting sensor S5B
for the second evaporator.
Application 10
This use is for refrigeration appliances with one valve, one evaporator and two refrigeration sections.
Here temperature is always controlled using the S4 temperature.
The S6 sensor is placed in the S3B position. The S3B sensor uses
alarm limits, etc which are normally used for the S6 sensor.
The two S3 temperatures are used for alarm monitoring and
display readings for each refrigeration section. There are separate
alarm limits for each refrigeration section.
Liquid injection in the evaporator is controlled by an electronic
injection valve of the type AKV. The valve functions as both expansion valve and solenoid valve. The valve opens and closes using
signals from the controller.
The function contains an adaptive algorithm which independently
adjusts the valve’s opening so that the evaporator constantly supplies optimum refrigeration.
Superheat can be measured via one of the two following principles:
• Pressure sensor P0 and temperature sensor S2
For this use a correct measurement of superheat is achieved
under all conditions which ensures a very robust and precise
control.
The signal from one pressure transmitter can be used by several
controllers, but only if there is no signicant pressure dierence
between the evaporators in question.
• Two temperature sensors S1 and S2
Use of the S1 sensor means that location is particularly important. The sensor must be located so as to read the evaporating
temperature during injection without the presence of too much
pressure drop. Danfoss recommends that the S1 sensor be
located on the rst pipe bend on the evaporator.
Placement of the S1 sensor is crucial for a safety signal
and with this a satisfactory control.
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 there 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 central plant. 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 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. This time delay is applicable during
defrosting, appliance cleaning and start-up.
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.
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
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 6 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.
Must not be used together with PMLX and GPLX valves, unless a
time delay relay is 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
Adaptive defrost: Here defrosting is started based on intelligent
registering of evaporator performance.
Manual: An extra defrost can be activated from the controller’s
lower-most button
All the mentioned methods can be used at random – if just of
them is activated a defrost will be started.
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.
Max. 10
System manager
Defrost on demand
1 Based on refrigeration time
When the aggregate refrigeration time has passed a xed time,
a defrost will be started.
2 Adaptive defrosting based on monitoring of evaporator per-
formance
This function is based on a registration of the air ow through
the evaporator. By using the AKV valve as mass owmeter for the
refrigerant ow it is possible to compare the energy input on the
refrigerant side with the energy output on the air side. Via this
comparison the air ow through the evaporator can be deter-
mined and hence also the amount of ice/frost build-up on the
evaporator surface. If the ice/frost build-up reduces the capac-
ity of the evaporator the function will carry out an additional
defrost.
Enter in the weekly defrost schedule the number of defrosts
corresponding to the basic load. If the load of the evaporator is
increased beyond this, defrost on demand will add the required
additional defrosts.
The function requires the following connections:
- Expansion valve type AKV
- Temperature signal from both S3 and S4
- Temperature signal from the condensing pressure Tc which is to
be distributed via the network from the system manager. If the
controller can not load the Tc signal, the measurement is replaced by a constant.
NOTE. The S3 and S4 sensors must be placed in the air ow/channel immediately before/after the evaporator.
Min. time between defrosts
There is a 2 hours minimum time between defrosts.
This avoids that planned defrosts in accordance with the weekly
schedule are carried out immediately after a defrost on demand
has been carried out. The time applies from when a defrost on
demand has been completed to when a planned defrost is again
permitted. The defrost on demand will not start defrosting with a
shorter interval than the 2 hours either.
Reset
If the adaptive defrost function registers problems with the
defrost, it will show an error message and the function will no
longer carry out extra defrosts. In this event a manual reset of the
function via d22 should be carried out.
When the reset function is activated it will start a defrost so that
the subsequent tuning will take place on an evaporator with no
ice/frost build-up.
Note
The function "Adaptive defrost” should only be activated when the
evaporator runs under normal operational conditions.
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
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.
period than the set melting interval. The refrigeration will then be
stopped during the set melting period. The frost will be melted
so that the air ow and hence the evaporator’s capacity will be
greatly improved.
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.
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.
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.
The two compressors must be of a type that can start up against a
high pressure.
The compressors’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.
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.
During defrosting
During defrosting the rail heat will always be 100% ON.
To obtain energy savings it is possible to pulse control the power
supply to the fans at the evaporators.
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 pe-
riod (appliance with night lid)
(This function is not present when r14 = 2, i.e. modulating regula-
tion.)
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 cold room. 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 a period of time 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 weighting 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).
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
- Coordinated defrost (DI2 only)
- Forced closing of valve (DI 3 only)
Forced closing
The AKV valves can be closed with an external signal ( "Forced
closing").
The function must be used in connection with the compressor’s
safety circuit, so that there will be no injection of liquid into the
evaporator when the compressor is stopped by the safety controls. (However not at low pressure – LP).
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 dened to be stopped or
in operation.
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 dierence 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.
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
module 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 15m) can be connected.
EKA 163B is a display for readings.
EKA 164B is both for readings and operation.
The connection between display and controller may be with a
cable which has a plug at both ends.
If the distance between display and controller is greater than 15
Address o03 > 0
m, the connection must take another form.
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 one of the same type,
but with Index A (version with screw terminals).
The controllers address must be set higher than 0 in order for the
display to be able to communicate with the controller.
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.
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.
Function via data communicationFunction in gateway/system managerUsed parameters in AK-CC 550
Start of defrostingDefrost control / Time schedule / Defrost group--- Def start
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 20 you can see the relevant settings for the
respective wiring diagrams.
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, but in application 9 and 10 it has a dierent use.
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.
General:
The ten uses are all adapted for commercial
refrigeration systems in the form of either
refrigeration appliances or cold storage rooms.
In general all have outputs for:
• AKV valve
• Fan
• Defrost
In addition they have dierent uses and thereby
input and outputs.
Application 1-4
Standard applications.
This is for standard use where the vital dierence
is only dierent combinations of the following
functions/outputs:
The following uses have some special functions
which in brief are:
Application 5
”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 between the compressors.
For a more detailed description please refer to
earlier sections in the manual.
Application 6
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.

Application 7
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 8
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 9
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. For this the product sensor is used as
a defrosting stop sensor for evaporator no. 2.

Application 10
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. The product
sensor is used as an extra S3 sensor for section
no. 2. Alarm monitoring and display readings take
place individually via the "S3" sensors in each
refrigeration section.
The controller is provided with signs from the factory indicating
application 1.
If you employ another use, signs are provided so that you can
mount the relevant one. It is only the lower sign that needs to be
mounted.
The number is indicated on the left-hand side of the signs. Use the
sign with the current application number. One of the signs applies
to both applications 4 and 10.
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.
Temperature unit
Set here if the controller is to show temperature values in °C or in °F.

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 AKV 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: Modulating
When operation is ”modulating” the AKV 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 "modulating".
In a decentralised plant you must select the ON/OFF thermostat setting.
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.
Melt function
Only for control of refrigeration (-5 to +10°C). The function ensures that the evaporator will not be blocked by frost. Here you set how often the function is to stop the
refrigeration and hence transform the frost to water (or ice if there is too much frost).
Melt period
Here you set how long an on-going melt function is to last.

(there is not time delay on transition from heating phase to refrigeration phase).
AlarmAlarm settings
The controller can give alarm in dierent situations. When there is an alarm all the
light-emitting 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 and after appliance cleaning.
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 (absolute value).
The limit value will be raised during night operation. The value is the same as the one
set for night setback, but will only be raised if the value is positive.
Lower alarm limit
Here you set when the alarm for low temperature is to start. The limit value is set in °C
(absolute value).

The alarm is activated if one of the relevant alarm limits A22, A23, A24 or A25 is
exceeded. The time delay is set in minutes.
(Alarms will not activate when the setting is set to the maximum value.)
Delay of a DI1 alarm
A cut-out/cut-in input will result in alarm when the time delay has been passed. The
function is dened in o02.
Delay of a DI2 alarm
A cut-out/cut-in input will result in alarm when the time delay has been passed. The
function is dened in o37
Signal to the alarm thermostat
Here you have to dene the ratio between the sensors which the alarm thermostat
has to use. S3, S4 or a combination of the two.
With setting 0% only S3 is used. With 100% only S4 is used
Time delay on S6 (product sensor) for pull-down (long alarm delay)
This time delay is used for start-up, during defrosting, immediately after a defrost and
after an appliance clean.
A change is carried out to standard time delay (A26) when the temperature has
reached below the set upper alarm limit.
The time delay is set in minutes.

The compressor relay works in conjunction with the thermostat. When the thermostat calls for refrigeration the compressor relay 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.

Time delay for couplings of two compressors
Settings indicate the time that has to elapse from the rst relay cuts in and until the
next relay has to cut in.
The LED on the controller’s front will show whether refrigeration is in progress.Comp Relay
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, or (none).
During defrost the defrost relay will be cut in.
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.

d02Def. Stop Temp
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 communcation 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.
Here you set the time that is to elapse from a defrost and until the compressor is to
start again. (The time when water drips o the evaporator).
d06DripO time
Delay of fan start after defrost
Here you set the time that is to elapse from compressor start after a defrost and until
the fan may start again. (The time when water is “tied” to the evaporator).
Fan start temperature
The fan may also be started a little earlier than mentioned under “Delay of fan start
after defrost”, if the defrost sensor S5 registers a lower value than the one set here.
Fan cut in during defrost
Here you can set whether fan is to operate during defrost.
0: Stopped (Runs during pump down)
1: Running (stopped during "fan delay")
2: Running during pump down and defrost. After that stopped
Defrost sensor
Here you dene the defrost sensor.
0: None, defrost is based on time
1: S5
2: S4
3: Sx. For application 1 to 8 and 10 defrosting is stopped when both S5 and S6 have
reached the set temperature (Both sensors must be placed on the evaporator).
For application 9 defrosting is stopped individually on the two sections of S5 /
S5B
Pumpdown delay
Set the time where the evaporator is emptied of refrigerant prior to the defrost.
Drain delay (only in connection with hotgas)
Set the time where the evaporator is emptied of condensed refrigerant after the
defrost.
Defrost on demand – aggregate refrigeration time
Set here is the refrigeration time allowed without defrosts. If the time is passed, a
defrost will be started.
With setting = 0 the function is cut out.
Delay on stop of heating in the drip tray
The time applies from the time the defrost stops by time or temperature to the time
the heating element in the drip tray needs to be disconnected.
Adaptive defrosting
An adaptive defrosting is an extra defrost in addition to the scheduled defrosts. Here
the adaptive defrost is set for when it can start a defrost if the need arises:
0: Never
1: Only alarm on ice over
2: It may only start during day operation
3: It may start both during day and night operation
4: It can only start during night operations
Restart of adaptive defrosting
The function starts a defrost and when it is complete, the tuning function restarts so
that the evaporator’s data can be registered.
MUST ONLY BE ACTIVATED DURING STANDARD OPERATION.
If you wish to see the temperature at the defrost sensor, push the controller’s lowermost button. (May be changed to another function in o92.)
If you wish to start an extra defrost, push the controller’s lowermost button for four
seconds.
You can stop an ongoing defrost in the same way

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 and refrigeration will be resumed (o89).
3) Door alarm. When the input is open it signals that the door is open. 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 short-circuited, and regulation is stopped when the input is put in pos. OFF.
6) Night operation. When the input is short-circuited, there will be regulation for
night operation.
7) Thermostat band changeover. Switch to thermostat 2 (r21).
8) Separate alarm function. Alarm will be given when the input is short-circuited.
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 5.
11) Forced refrigeration at hotgas defrost when the input is short-circuited.
12) Night cover
If the controller is built into a network with data communication, it must have an
address, and the master gateway of the data communication must then know this
address.

The address is set between 0 and 240, depending on the system unit and the selected
data communication. If the system unit is gateway type AKA 245, the version must be
6.20 or higher.
The address is sent to the gateway when the menu is set in pos. ON
IMPORTANT: Before you set o04, you MUST set o61. Otherwise you will be transmitting incorrect data.
(The function is not used when the data communication is MODBUS)
Access code 1 (Access to all settings)
If the settings in the controller are to be protected with an access code you can set a
numerical value between 0 and 100. If not, you can cancel the function with setting 0.
(99 will always give you access).
Sensor type for S3, S4, S5, S6
Normally a Pt 1000 sensor with great signal accuracy is used. But you can also use a
sensor with another signal accuracy. That may either be a PTC 1000 sensor.
All the mounted sensors S3-S6 must be of the same type.
Max. standby time after coordinated defrost
When a controller has completed a defrost it will wait for a signal which tells that the
refrigeration may be resumed. If this signal fails to appear for one reason or another,
the controller will itself start the refrigeration when this standby time has elapsed.
Select signal for the display S4%
Here you dene the signal to be shown by the display.

31=R422A
Warning: Wrong selection of refrigerant may cause damage to the compressor.
Other refrigerants: Here Setting 13 is selected and then three factors -Ref.Fac a1, a2
and a3 - via AKM must be set.
The controller has a digital input 2 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. When the time setting in “A04” is passed, an alarm
will be given and refrigeration resumed. (o89).
3) Door alarm. When the input is open it signals that the door is open. When the time
setting in “A04” is passed an alarm will be given.
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. If the signal
is to be received by several controllers it is important that ALL connections are
mounted the same way (DI to DI and GND to GND).
5) Main switch. Regulation is carried out when the input is short-circuited, and regulation is stopped when the input is put in pos. OFF.
6) Night operation. When the input is short-circuited, there will be regulation for
night operation.
7) Thermostat band changeover. Switch to thermostat 2 (r21)
8) Separate alarm function. Alarm will be given when the input is short-circuited.
9) Separate alarm function. Alarm will be given when the input is opened.
10) Case cleaning. The function is started with a pulse signal. See also description on

Conguration of light function
1) Light is controlled via day/night status
2) Light is controlled via data communication and "Light remote o39"
3) Light is controlled by door contact, dened in either o02, o37 or o84 where the setting is selected to either 2 or 3. When the door is opened the relay will cut in. When
the door is closed again there will be a time delay of two minutes before the light is
switched o.
4) As "2" but if there are any 15-minute network errors, the light will switch on and the
night blind will open.

2 = Cleaning with stopped fans. All outputs are O.
If the function is controlled by a signal at the DI1, DI2 or DI3 input, the relevant status
can be seen here in the menu.
Selection of application
The controller can be dened in various ways. Here you set which of the 10 applications is required. On page 12 you can see a survey of applications.
This menu can only be set when regulation is stopped, i.e. “r12” is set to 0.
Transfer a set of pre-settings to the controller
An option exists to select quick settings for a number of parameters. This is based on
whether an appliance or a room needs to be controlled or whether the defrosting
must be stopped by time or by temperature. The overview can be seen on page 27.
This menu can only be set when the control is stopped, i.e. When "r12" is set at 0.

There is access to adjustments of values, but not to conguration settings. If the settings in the controller are to be protected with an access code you can set a numerical value between 0 and 100. If not, you can cancel the function with setting 0. If the
function is used, access code 1 (o05) must also be used.
Save as factory setting
With this setting you save the controller’s actual settings as a new basic setting (the
earlier factory settings are overwritten).
The controller has a digital input 3 which can be used for one of the following functions:
O: The input is not used.
1) Status display of 230 V signal
2) Door function. When the input is 0 V it signals that the door is open. The refrigeration and the fans are stopped. When the time setting in “A04” is passed, an alarm
will be given and refrigeration resumed. (o89)
3) Door alarm. When the input is 0 V it signals that the door is open. When the time
setting in “A04” is passed an alarm will be given.
4) Defrost. The function is started with a pulse signal. (puls on 230 V)
5) Main switch. Regulation is carried out when the input is 230 V, and regulation is
stopped when the input is 0 V.
6) Night operation. When the input is 230 V, there will be regulation for night opera-
tion.
7) Thermostat band changeover. Switch to thermostat 2 (r21)

Rail heat control
The rail heat can be controlled in several ways:
0: The function is not used
1: Pulse control is used with a timer function following the day/night operation (o41
and o42)
2: Pulse control is used with a dew point function. This function requires that a signal
is received about the dew point value. The value is measured by a system manager
and sent to the controller via the data communication.
Dew point value where the rail heat is minimum
This function is discussed earlier in the manual.
Dew point value where the rail heat is maximum
This function is discussed earlier in the manual.
Lowest permitted rail heat eect
Here the % part of the eect to be achieved when the dew point value is minimum.
Start of refrigeration when door is open
If the door has been left open, refrigeration must be started after a set time. That time
can be set here.
Fan for "Forced Closing"
You can set whether fans should be operational or stopped if the function "Forced
closing" is activated here.
On "No or 0" the fans are stopped.
On "Yes or 1" they will be operational.
Alternative display
A reading can be displayed by pressing the lower button on the controller. This reading is set from the factory so that the defrosting stop temperature is displayed.

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/sign for 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 buttons 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 n57 and select method for measuring of
evaporator pressure Pe or S1 (factory setting is Pe pressure
transmitter)
7 If pressure transmitter Pe is used you must select refrigerant via
parameter o30
8 Open parameter r12 and start the regulation
9 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.

For data communication, but only if a data communication
module is inserted in the controller. The module can be a LON
RS485, DANBUSS or a MODBUS.
Terminal 51 = screen
Terminal 52 = A (A+)
Terminal 53 = B (B-)
(For LON RS485 and gateway type AKA 245 the gateway must be
version 6.20 or higher.)
RJ45
For data communication, but only if a TCP/IP module is inserted in
the controller. (OEM specic)
MODBUS
For data communication.
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.)
There is connection between terminal 10 and 11 when the
function must be active.

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 will 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.
