1. Introduction
Application
AK-SM 720 is a complete system manager to control data commu­nication to ADAP-KOOL® Refrigeration Control Systems. The system unit makes it possible to transmit alarms and system functions to external receivers.
The main function of the system manager is to transmit alarms. It also contains the primary functions that the refrigeration sys­tem’s controllers can use to sub-optimise the individual refrigera­tion sites.
To mention some of the various functions briefly:
• Alarm receiver
• Forward alarms
• Collect logs
• Schedules
• Defrost groups
• Light functions
• Energy-saving functions
• Design of Boolean functions
Examples
Here are a couple of examples where the system manager takes care of communication to other units.

Principles
The great advantage of this series of controllers is that it can be extended as the size of the plant is increased. It has been developed for refrigeration control systems, but not for any specific application – variation is created through the read-in software and the way you choose to define the connections. It is the same modules that are used for each regulation and the composition can be changed, as required. With these modules (building blocks) it is possible to create a multitude of various kinds of regulations. But it is you who must help adjusting the regulation to the actual needs – these instructions will assist you to find your way through all the questions so that the regulation can be defined and the connections made.
Controller
Top part
Bottom part
The controller is the cornerstone of the regulation. The module has inputs and outputs capable of handling small systems.
• The bottom part – and hence the terminals – are the same for all controller types.
• The top part contains the intelligence with software. This unit will vary according to controller type. But it will always be supplied together with the bottom part.
• In addition to the software the top part is provided with connections for data communication and address setting.
Advantages
• The controller’s size can “grow” as systems grow
• The software can be set for one or more regulations
• Several regulations with the same components
• Extension-friendly when systems requirements are changed
• Flexible concept:
- Controller series with common construction
- One principle – many regulation uses
- modules are selected for the actual connection requirements
- The same modules are used from regulation to regulation
Extension modules
If the system grows and more functions have to be controlled, the regulation can be extended. With extra modules more signals can be received and more relays cut in and out – how many of them – and which – is determined by the relevant application.
Examples
A regulation with few connections can be performed with the controller module alone
If there are many connections one or more extension modules have to be mounted

User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Direct connection
Setup and operation of an AK controller must be accomplished via the “AK-Service Tool” software program.
The programme is installed on a PC, and setup and operation of the various functions are carried out via the controller’s menu displays.
Displays
The menu displays are dynamic, so that different settings in one menu will result in different setting possibilities in other menus.
A simple application with few connections will give a setup with few settings. A corresponding application with many connections will give a setup with many settings. From the overview display there is access to further displays for the compressor regulation and the condenser regulation. At the bottom of the display there is access to a number of general functions, such as "network overview", “time table”, “log function”, “alarms”, "plant control" and “service” (configuration).
Data communication
The controller forwards the data communication to all of the connected controllers. It receives measurements from selected functions. The measurements are sent to other controllers, which use the value in the control function. The controller receives alarms from all connected controllers and forwards them to the defined receivers.
Users
All users must be assigned a user profile which either gives access to full operation or gradually limits the operation to the lowest level that only allows you “to see”.
Users are added and defined in the menu item “Configuration”/ ”Authorisation”.

Light-emitting diodes
A number of light-emitting diodes makes it possible to follow the signals that are received and transmitted by the controller.
Log
From the log function you can define the measurements you wish to be shown. The collected values can be printed, or you may export them to a file. You can open the file in Excel.
If you are in a service situation you can show measurements in a trend function. The measurements are then made realtime and displayed instantly.

Alarm
The display gives you an overview of all active alarms. If you wish to confirm that you have seen the alarm you can cross it off in the acknowledge field. If you want to know more about a current alarm you can click on it and obtain an information display on the screen.
A corresponding display exists for all earlier alarms. Here you can upload information if you need further details about the alarm history.

2. Design of a controller
This section describes how the controller is designed.
The controller in the system is based on a uniform connection platform where any deviations from regulation to regulation is determined by the used top part with a specific software and by which input and output signals the relevant application will
Module survey
• Controller module – capable of handling minor plant require­ments.
• Extension modules. When the complexity becomes greater and additional inputs or outputs are required, modules can be at­tached to the controller. A plug on the side of the module will transmit the supply voltage and data communication between the modules.
• Top part The upper part of the controller module contains the intelligence. This is the unit where the regulation is defined and where data communication is connected to other controllers in a bigger network.
• Connection types There are various types of inputs and outputs. One type may, for example, receive signals from sensors and switches, another may receive a voltage signal, and a third type may be outputs with relays etc. The individual types are shown in the table below.
require. If it is an application with few connections, the controller module (top part with belonging bottom part) may be sufficient. If it is an application with many connections it will be necessary to use the controller module plus one or more extension modules. This section will give you a survey of possible connections plus assistance in selecting the modules required by your actual application.
• Optional connection When a regulation is planned (set up) it will generate a need for a number of connections distributed on the mentioned types. This connection must then be made on either the controller module or an extension module. The only thing to be observed is that the types must not be mixed (an analog input signal must for instance not be connected to a digital input).
• Programming of connections The controller must know where you connect the individual input and output signals. This takes place in a later configura­tion where each individual connection is defined based on the following principle:
- to which module
- at which point (”terminals”)
- what is connected (e.g. pressure transmitter/type/ pressure range)

System manager AK-SM
Function
There are several controllers in the series. The function is determined by the programmed software, but outwardly the controllers are identical – they all have the same connection possibilities: 11 analog inputs for sensors, pressure transmitters, voltage signals
and contact signals.
8 digital outputs, with 4 Solid state outputs and 4 relay outputs
Supply voltage
24 V AC or DC to be connected to the controller. The 24 V must not be retransmitted and used by other controllers as it is not galvanically separated from inputs and outputs. In other words, you must use a transformer for each controller. Class II is required. The terminals must not be earthed. The supply voltage to any extension modules is transmitted via the plug on the right-hand side. The size of the transformer is determined by the power requirement of the total number of modules.
The supply voltage to a pressure transmitter can be taken either from the 5 V output or from the 12 V output depending on transmitter type.
PIN
Data communication
The installation has to be made as mentioned in the separate instructions.
Address setting
When the system manager is configured, the address must be set in the range 1 to 10. 1 must always be used. If there are more than one, the rest must be set with addresses 2 to 10.
Service PIN When the address has been set, the software must know the set­ting. This is done by pressing the Service PIN button. The “Status” LED will flash when acceptance is received.
Operation
The configuration operation of the controller must take place from the software programme “Service Tool”. The program must be installed on a PC, and the PC must be connected to the controller via the network plug on the front of the unit.
Light-emitting diodes
There are two rows with LED’s. They mean: Left row:
• Voltage supply to the controller
• Communication active with the bottom PC board (red = error)
• Status of outputs DO1 to DO8
Right row:
• Software status
• Alarm when LED flashes. Alarm acknowledged = constant light
• Communication with Service Tool
• Communication on LON
• Communication on MODBUS
• Communication on TCP/IP
• “Service Pin” switch has been activated

Preface to design
In most cases the system manager may be able to manage the control process without any kind of supplementary modules. Ex­pansion modules will only be needed when measuring consump­tion, when using a large number of relays or when using Boolean functions.
Be aware of the following when the number of extension modules is being planned. A signal may have to be changed, so that an additional module may be avoided.
• An ON/OFF signal can be received in two ways. Either as a contact signal on an analog input or as voltage on a low or high-voltage module.
Functions
Clock function
Clock function and change-over between summer time and win­ter time are contained in the system manager. The clock’s setting is retained if there is a power failure.
Start/stop of regulation
Regulation can be started and stopped via the software. It cannot be stopped with a switch function.
Alarm function
If the alarm is to be sent to a signal transmitter, a relay output will have to be used.
System controls
Some of the possible system controls will require input signals or output signals.
• Weekly schedule with the store’s hours of business
If there has to be an override to “day”, a switch function will be required. If there has to be an override to “night”, a switch function will be required.
• An ON/OFF output signal can be given in two ways. Either with a relay switch or with solid state. The primary difference is the per­mitted load and that the relay switch contains a cutout switch.
Mentioned below is a number of functions and connections that may have to be considered when a regulation has to be planned. There are more functions in the controller than the ones mentioned here, but those mentioned have been included in order that the need for connections can be established.
• Light control
A signal can be received from two light sensors. Each sensor requires an analogue input. Up to eight zones can be controlled. Each zone will require a relay output or a triac output.
• Adaptive rail heat
A signal can be received from three dew point sensors. Each sen­sor requires two analogue inputs.
• Consumption measurement
When measuring consumption an expansion module must be used for pulse counting. A synchronisation signal will require an analogue or a digital input. A tariff signal will require an analogue or a digital input. Two tariff signals can be received.
• Peak load limitation
This function requires a signal from a consumption measure­ment. Up to ten relays can be connected.
• Weekly schedule for day/night operation
A switch signal will be required to override a schedule
• Weekly schedule for defrost
A switch signal will be required to override a schedule
• Weekly schedule for light
A switch signal will be required to override a schedule
• Inject ON function (closes the evaporator controls’ expansion valves in the event of operational problems with the compressors)
The function can be enabled via data communication or it can be wired outside the system manager

Data communication
The controller module has terminals for LON data communication. The requirements to the installation are described in a separate document.
User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Connections
In principle there are the following types of connections:
Analog inputs ”AI”
This signal must be connected to two terminals. Signals can be received from the following
sources:
• Temperature signal from Pt 1000 ohm
temperature sensor
• Contact signal where the input is short-
circuited or ”opened”, respectively
• Voltage signal from 0 to 10 V
• Signal from pressure transmitter AKS 32
or AKS 32R The supply voltage is supplied from the module’s terminal board where there is both a 5 V supply and a 12 V supply. When programming the pressure
transmitter’s pressure range must be set.
ON/OFF voltage inputs ”DI”
This signal must be connected to two terminals.
• The signal must have two levels, either 0 V
or ”voltage” on the input. There are two different extension modules for this signal type:
- low-voltage signals, e.g. 24 V
- high-voltage signals, e.g. 230 V
When programming the function must be set:
• Active when the input is without voltage
• Active when voltage is applied to the
input.
ON/OFF output signals ”DO”
There are two types, as follows:
• Relay outputs All relay outputs are with change-over relay so that the required function can be obtained when the controller is without voltage.
• Solid state outputs Reserved for AKV valves, but output can cut an external relay in and out, as with a relay output. The output is only found on the controller module.
When programming the function must be set:
• Active when the output is activated
• Active when the output is not activated.
Analog output signal ”AO”
This signal is to be used if a control signal is to be transmitted to an external unit, e.g. a frequency converter. When programming the signal range must be defined: 0 – 5 V, 1 – 5 V, 0 – 10 V or 2 – 10 V.
Pulse counter inputs
This signal must be used if consumption measurement is to take place.
Limitations
As the system is very flexible regarding the number of connected units you must check whether your selection complies with the few limitations there are. The complexity of the controller is determined by the software, the size of the processor, and the size of the memory. It provides the controller with a certain number of connections from which data can be downloaded, and others where coupling with relays can be performed.
There must a maximum of 200 controllers on the data communi­cation. A maximum of 120 units of the EKC type, where there must be a maximum of 15 different types and software versions.
26 | BC041586425769en-000602 © Danfoss | DCS (vt) | 2020.01
• The sum of connections cannot exceed 80.
• The number of extension modules must be limited so that the total power will not exceed 32 VA (including controller).
• No more than five pressure transmitters may be connected to one controller module.
• No more than five pressure transmitters may be connected to one extension module.

Here is a little more about some of the functions that must use an input or an output.
Modem connection
It is recommended that the supply voltage to the modem be provided through a relay, so that the system manager can start the modem in a controlled way.
The “Inject On” override function
This function closes expansion valves on evaporator controls when all compressors have stopped. The function can take place via data communication, or it can be wired via a relay output on the compressor control.
Boolean functions
A function in the system unit makes it possible to set up some logical functions. The functions can have both inputs and outputs. The function is described in a separate document. Please refer to literature sheet number RC8CA. This setup of Boolean functions should only be undertaken by trained personnel.
If you want to know more about the functions, go to chapter 5.

3. Connections
Here is a survey of the possible connections. The texts can be read in context with the table on the next page.
Analog inputs
Temperature sensors
Up to 3 sensors for dew point measurement and 4 sensors for boolean logic can be connected.
Pressure transmitter
A pressure transmitter type AKS 32 or AKS 32R can supply signals to a maximum of five controllers.
Voltage signal
• 0 – 10 V
Used when signal is received from another control. E.g. signal from dew point sensor. (A dew point sensor delivers two signals – a temperature sensor signal and a voltage signal)
On/Off-inputs
Contact function (on an analog input) or Voltage signal (on an extension module)
• Switches to override a weekly schedule
• Switches to override light control
• Signal to register tariff levels
Pulse counter input (on an expansion module)
• E.g. for energy registration
On/off-outputs
Relay outputs
• Voltage supply to modem
• Watch dog function
• Injection On function (signal to evaporator control. One each suction group)
• Alarm relay
• Light control
• Load sheeding
Solid state outputs
The solid state outputs on the controller module may be used for the same functions as those mentioned under “relay outputs”. (The output will always be “OFF” when the controller has a power failure).
Example
• AK-SM 720 is with data communication for EKC controllers
• Modem connection for alarm routing (for System software AKM)
• Modem connection for external operation (for Service tool)
• Alarm output
• Contact to reset alarms
• Energy measurement, which receives puls signal from extern unit.
Data from this example is used on the next page. The result is that the following modules should be used:
• AK-SM 720 controller
• AK-XM 107A pulse module

User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
8. Length
If you use many extension modules the controller’s length will grow accordingly. The row of modules is a complete unit which cannot be broken.
The module dimension is 72 mm. Modules in the 100-series consist of one module Modules in the 200-series consist of two modules
The controller consist of three modules The length of an aggregate unit = n x 72 + 8
or in an other way:
Module Type Number at Length
Controller module 1 x 224 = 224 mm Extension module 200-series _ x 144 = ___ mm Extension module 100-series _ x 72 = ___ mm
Total length = ___ mm
9. Linking of modules
Example continued: Controller module + Pulse module = 224 mm + 72 mm = 296 mm.
Start with the controller module and then mount the selected extension modules. The sequence is of no importance.
However, you must not change the sequence, i.e. rearrange the modules, after you have made the setup where the controller is told which connections are found on which modules and on which terminals.
The modules are attached to one another and kept together by a connection which at the same time transmits the supply voltage and the internal data communication to the next module.
Mounting and removal must always be performed when there is no voltage.
The protective cap mounted on the controller’s plug connection must be moved to the last vacant plug connection so that the plug will be protected against short-circuit and dirt.
When the regulation has started the controller will all the time check whether there is connection to the connected modules. This status can be followed by the light-emitting diode.
When the two catches for the DIN rail mounting are in open position the module can be pushed into place on the DIN rail – no matter where in the row the module is found. Removal is likewise carried out with the two catches in the open position.

10. Determine the connection points
All connections must be programmed with module and point, so in principle it does not matter where the connections are made, as
long as it takes place on a correct type of input or output.
• The controller is the first module, the next one is 2, etc.
• A point is the two or three terminals belonging to an input or output (e.g. two terminals for a sensor and three terminals for a relay).
The preparation of the connection diagram and the subsequent programming (configuration) should take place at the present time. It is most easily accomplished by filling in the connection
survey for the relevant modules. Principle:
Name On module On Point Function
fx Light 1 x x Close fx Light 2 x x Close fx Alarm relay x x NC fx Modem x x Close fx P0 x x AKS 32R 1-6 bar
The connection survey from the controller and any extension modules are uploaded from the paragraph "Modules". See later in the manual E.g. controller module:

12. Supply voltage
Supply voltage is only connected to the controller module. The supply to the other modules is transmitted via the plug between the modules. The supply must be 24 V +/-20%. One power supply must be used for each controller. The transformer must be a class II. The 24 V must not be shared by other controllers or units. The analog inputs and outputs are not galvanically separated from the supply.
The + and – 24V input must not be earthed.

3. Mounting and wiring
This section describes how the controller:
• Is fitted
• Is connected
Mounting
Mounting of extension module on the basic module
1. Move the protective cap
Remove the protective cap from the connection plug on the right­hand side of the basic module. Place the cap on the connection plug to the right of the I/O module that is to be mounted on the extreme right-hand side of the AK assembly.
We have decided to work on the basis of the example we went through previously, i.e. the following modules:
• AK-SM 720 controller module
• AK-XM 107A pulse counter module
In our example one extension module is to be fitted to the basic module.
All of the subsequent setting are determined by the module positions. Here 1 and 2.
2. Assemble the I/O module and the basic module
The basic module must not be connected to voltage.
When the two snap catches for the DIN rail mounting are in the open position, the module can be pushed into place on the DIN rail – regardless of where the module is on the row. Disassembly is thus done with the two snap catches in the open position.

2. Connect LON and MODBUS communication network
Check that data communication is terminated at either end
3. Connect supply voltage
Is 24 V, and the supply must not be used by other controllers or devices.
The two terminals must not be earthed.
4. Follow light-emitting diodes
When the supply voltage is connected the system manager will go through an internal check. The controller will be ready in just under one minute when the light-emitting diode ”Status” starts flashing slowly.
5. When there is a network
Set the address and activate the Service Pin. See next
paragraph
6. The system manager is now ready for configuration.
The installation of the data communication must comply with the requirements set out in document RC8AC.
Internal communication between the modules: Quick flash = error Constantly On = error
n Power n Comm n DO1 n Status n DO2 n Alarm n DO3 n Service Tool n DO4 n LON n DO5 n MODBUS n DO6 n LAN n DO7 n DO8 n Service Pin
Status on output 1-8
Slow flash = OK Quick flash = answer from gateway in 10 min. after network installation Constantly ON = error Constantly OFF = error
Flash = active alarm/not cancelled Constant ON = Active alarm/cancelled

4. Configuration and operation
This section describes how the controller:
• Is configured
• Is operated
Plant example
We have decided to describe the setup by means of an example comprising a system manager and a number of controllers.
The example is the same as the one given in the "Design" section, i.e. the system manager and one extension module.
Controllers:
• The controllers are of types AK- and EKC
• They are connected in a LON network
• They transmit alarms to the system manager
We have decided to work on the basis of the example we went through previously. The example is shown overleaf.
Modem:
• The modem is a type from the positive list
• It is connected to the system manager (it cannot be connected
until the setup has been completed as it is the same plug that is used)
Operation:
• The setup is performed on the plant with PC and software
programme AK-ST
• After the setup operation can also take place via the modem and
AK-ST
Alarms:
• The alarm destination is System software type AKM at the
external modem
Alarm routing:
• To System software type AKM at the external modem
Controls:
• A table is set up for the shop’s opening hour
• Logs are collected in the system manager
• Logs are downloaded from the system manager with AKM
• Day/night hours for the refrigeration appliances are managed by
the system manager
• Defrost start is carried out by the system manager
• Consumption measurement (pulse signal is received from an
external unit)
• Switch to override the day/night schedule
• Switch (pulse pressure) to reset alarm
In the example the same modem will be used by both system software type AKM and by Service tool type AK-ST. This can only be achieved when it is possible to switch between the two operating interfaces, i.e. only one single destination is created.
If, however, it is not possible to switch, two destinations must be cre­ated, one for each modem.

Installation in network
1. Set net number
In our example the system manager must have address 1. Turn the right-hand address switch so that the arrow will point at 1. The arrow of the two other switches must point at 0.
2. Push the Service Pin
The system manager will be the master of a number of controllers in a
network. The number of this network can be set between 1 and 10. In
any network there must always be a number 1 as number 1 will appear
as master and coordinate the communication if there are several system
managers on the same network.
Press down the service pin and keep it down until the Service Pin LED lights up.
3. Wait for answer
4. Carry out new login via Service Tool
A change of the setting of the switch will only take place after acti­vation of the service pin button.
When the ”Status” light emitting diode starts flashing faster than normal the network number has been installed. There will be a flash every half second and change-back to slow flashing again after some 10 minutes.
If the Service Tool was connected to the System manager while you installed it in the network, you must carry out a new login to the system manager via the Service Tool.

(If there are several network and with that several system managers)
If several system managers are linked up, the subsequent units must have network numbers 2 and up, but max. 10.
Communication between the system managers takes place via the TCP/IP network.

Configuration
Connect PC
PC with the program “Service Tool” is connected to the system manager.
The controller must be switched on first and the LED “Status” must flash before the Service Tool programme is started.
Start Service Tool programme
Login with user name SUPV
The AK Service Tool is mentioned at the beginning of the manual. For connection: please see AK-ST.
The first time the Service Tool is connected to a new version of a control­ler the start-up of the Service Tool will take longer than usual while information is retrieved from the controller. Time can be followed on the bar at the bottom of the display.
Select the name SUPV and key in the passcode.
When the controller is supplied the SUPV access code is 123. When you are logged into the controller an overview of it will always appear.
When you are logged in on the system manager an overview of the connected controllers will always appear.
In this case the overview is empty. This is because the system manager and the controllers have not yet been set up.
The red alarm bell at the bottom right tells you that there is an active alarm in the system manager. In our case the alarm is due to the fact that the time has not yet been set.
The address is shown as 11:001.
This means that the master network is 11 and that this network is 1 (the master network will always be 11, and this cannot be changed).
Subsequently the overview will also show the connected controllers with their respective addresses. The illustration here has only been included for your information so that you can see that the network
number is 1.

In earlier versions of the service tool AK-ST 500 it was possible to select the language in this menu. An updated version of the service tool will be released in the spring of
2009. If the controller is operated with the new version, language selec­tion will happen automatically in connection with the configuration of the service tool. The controller will utilize the same language that is selected in the service tool but only if the controller contains this language. If the language is not contained in the controller, the settings and readings will be shown in English.
5. Carry out a new login with the new user name and the new
access code
To activate the new settings you must carry out a new login to the con­troller with the new user name and the relevant access code. You will access the login display by pressing the padlock at the top left corner of the display.

Are there other inputs and outputs? — Any that must be used by system controls?
Here we have to interrupt the setup sequence to make the system manager display the functions in the system controls that require outputs and inputs. This takes place from page 67 onwards in points 1 to 56.
A “!” symbol is displayed by the settings that will require an input or output. If you want to use the function displayed, you must enable it.
You must only enable this setting – you must not implement the remaining settings for the control. These may only be set when there is contact to the controllers via data communication. (When there is contact, the system manager itself can recognise the func­tion of the various controllers.) Once you have completed points 1-56, return here. We will then continue the setup process.
How to go to the settings discussed in points 1-56:
1. Go to the overview Press the blue overview button at the bottom left of the display
2. Proceed to plant operations
3. Once you have been through the system controls, you can

Press the +-button to go on to the next page
4. Check configuration of other inputs and outputs
In our case the setup of the output to the modem has returned to 0-0 for module and point number. This may be due to the following: A selection has been made of a combination of module number and point number that does not exist or will create a conflict. Fx the selected point number on the module had been set up for something different. The error is corrected by setting up the output for the modem correctly. In our case to module 1 point 16.
Remember that the setup must be unlocked before you can change module and point numbers.
(If one of the fields go red it means that the function which used to require a connection has been opted out again. By setting module and point number in pos. 0, the connection is also opted out.)
The shown “Boolean logic” functions are not used.

4. Show result
Press Update button
All controllers on the LON network and MOD-bus network can
be be seen in the overview.
All controllers on the data communication must have an address set before this point is carried out. There must not be two controllers with the same address. If there are, only one of them will be registered. There may be up to 200 addresses on the LON and MOD connection.
There can however be max. 100 on the MOD bus connection.
Press the +-button to go on to the next page where the IP network is shown.
Both LON network, MOD-bus network and IP network will be scanned now.
The system manager scans the network and whenever it finds a controller it will send a confirmation to the respective controller – the controller’s display will flash with the registered address. After about five minutes the display will return to normal.
If you want to change the name of the controller to something more user-friendly, select the controller and then press “Change”.

Setup of controllers
From the system manager
1. Go to the overview Press the blue overview button at the bottom left of the display..
2. Select controller
Press one of the controller symbols in the left-hand column.
There is now access to all the connected controllers. If they have not already been set up individually it can be done via data communication from the system manager, or the modem may be cut in and the setup can then take place via the modem communication.
If this symbol is shown the controller falls off the network. Check the
data communication.
Here are a couple of examples of the information that can appear if the connection to the controller cannot be created.
3. Perform the settings!
When you have made the settings in the controller you proceed to the next controller or return to the system manager via the survey.
From modem connection
1. The modem is cut in as shown on page 83, 84. Settings can now be made as explained above.

Function
Data communication
AK-SM is a system manager that co-ordinates the data communi­cation to and from the refrigeration controllers type AK- and EKC. The system manager receives alarms and data collections, which are then forwarded to defined recipients.
The system manager has control functions that are forwarded to the individual controllers via data communication – functions that do not therefore need wiring.
Functions
In addition to the data communication the system manager can control other functions between the controllers — functions that do not therefore need wiring. The functions are as follows:
• Alarm coordination
• Alarm routing
• Coordination of clock function for all controllers
• Weekly schedule for different functions
• Control of defrost times
• Master control functions:
- Coordinated defrost
- Inject-on function
- On/off control
- Day/night control
- Adaptive defrost
- Adaptive railheat
• User access with password and authorization level
• Communication control
• Safety with:
- Watchdog function
- "I'm a live" messages
• Central functions:
- Light control
- Utility meter
- Load sheeding
Examples of the structure of a system
Connection via modem
Connection via TCP/IP
In larger networks several System Managers are connected to one another via the TCP/IP connection.
Controllers with DANBUSS data communication can be connected via a TCP/ IP connection. The same applies to wireless units

Local data communication
Communication control
This function checks communication between the units con­nected to data communication. There is also continued control of whether all units are still present. Units that drop out are discovered within two minutes (short-term dropouts will not always be discovered).
If a unit drops out, e.g. as a consequence of a power failure, the function will discover this and transmit an alarm, e.g. after ten minutes.
A new unit in the network will not be registered until the scan function is enabled in the system manager.
If more than one system manager is connected in a network, the control function in system manager with address 1 will check the communication with the other system managers.
Addresses
One or more system managers
A system manager in a system must have address number 1. All of the connected group of controllers will then have network number 1.
11:001
11:002
If there are several system managers connected together, the other system managers are allocated addresses 2, 3, etc. However, there may be a maximum of ten.
The address is set at the front of the system manager, but is only transferred to the software when the “Service PIN” button is enabled. The address can then be viewed in the system manager’s over­view screen as “11:001”. The network here is number 1, as denoted by the final digit. All controllers connected to this network will be assigned network number 1, e.g. 001: xxx 001:yyy in which xxx and yyy are the addresses of the respective control­lers.
If there are several system managers connected in the same net­work, the addresses of the others will look like this: 11:002 11:003 The figure 11 will always be 11, and this cannot be changed.
The system manager with address 1 is the master for the total number of system managers and controllers. All functions and controls are defined in the master unit. A total of 200 addresses can be connected.
DANBUSS
Other units in the TCP/IP network
As the first ten addresses are reserved for other system managers, the subsequent ones can have addresses 11 to 999. However, 999 is permanently reserved for a wireless unit. Examples: 11:011 can, for example, be an AK-PI 200 11:012 can, for example, be an AK-PI 200 11:999 will be a wireless device.

Extern data communication
If the system manager is to have a connection from the system, this can be achieved via:
• Modem and fixed network
• Modem and mobile network
• TCP/IP net
Modem
The modem used must have been tested by Danfoss. Contact Danfoss for an approved suppliers list.
. The modem is connected to the socket on the front (the same socket that a Service tool uses). Two cables are used, a 080Z0261 and a standard zero modem cable. Both cables are supplied when you order a modem type AKA 231 from Danfoss.
The initialization command string can be changed. However, this will only be necessary in very few instances.
E0, V0, S0=0, S0=0, &D0, &D1 and &D3 must not be contained in the command string.
For further information about these commands, please refer to your modem manual.
A number of modem codes can be keyed in together with a telephone number. These modem codes attach to a specific telephone number and are sent on to the modem together with the telephone number. The following codes can be keyed and attached to a telephone number in the router table:
P: Pulse dialling. Used in old telephone exchanges and private
switching systems. T: Tone dialling. Used in new telephone exchanges. W: Wait for ring back tone (dial tone) , : 2-second pause %n: Modifies the calling speed for this particular call * : Special character for private switching system
# : Special character for private switching system
For further information about these commands and codes, see the modem manual.

The function can be used for service and transmission of log data via the telephone network. The call-back function is selected from the extern system software fx. the AKM programme and is essential for all systems from which service or log data are collected. The function sees to it that the system manager will return the call to the AKM programme, and hence pay for the transmission time.
The supply voltage to the modem must be connected via a relay output. This enables the system manager to reset the modem. The modem will also be switched on and started in a controlled way when the system manager is switched on.
It is possible to set commands for control ling the connec ted modem. These commands are in the form of an initialization string transmitted to the modem when it is switched on.
From the factory a system manager contains the following AT command string: AT Z < CR > AT E1 SO = 2 &D2 V1
The command has the following meaning:
AT Attention sequence Z Reset modem to power-up status E1 Echo on V1 Verbose result codes (e.g.”CONNECT 1200" instead of “4”). &D2 HW mode for on hook via DTR S0=2 Auto answer ON, answer after 2 rings
Procedure The AKM programme calls the system manager and starts the call­back function. 15 seconds later the system manager establishes a telephone connection to the AKM programme. If the connection is not established at the first try, two more attempts will be made at 5­minute intervals. When the master gateway has established the telephone connection the AKM programme will take over.
An automatic log transmission is carried out in this way: Based on the individual log definitions, the AKM programme knows how often it has to collect data from a system. The AKM programme starts the procedure, and when the connection has been established, the collection will commence. If the system manager does not manage to establish a telephone connection, the AKM programme will call again, and collection will then be started immediately.
Modem and mobile network
A GSM modem is used here. Danfoss recommend Cinterion MC52iT / MC55iT.
Functions are as for a fixed network modem.

SMS
Alarms may be sent to a destination via SMS. (System manager version 1.6x or later). (Destination ID and Pass code are cancelled.)
TCP/IP
Outgoing communication can also be undertaken from the TCP/ IP output.
A HUB, Switch or Router can be connected as required. If a HUB or Switch is used, the system manager must be assigned a fixed IP address.
System manager number 1 must always have a fixed IP address.
This must be obtained from the local IT department. (Danfoss AK controllers use port 1041.)
The following can have a dynamic IP address:
- System manager number 2 upwards
- Protocol interface AK-PI
- Wireless AK-WR
Danfoss strongly recommend to restrict communication access to the System manager as much as possible. This includes allowing only TCP communication to pass through port 1041.
UDP communication is only required for inter-communication to AK-PI200 as well as additional System Managers and controllers.
Danfoss recommends blocking UDP port access on the connected network Router to the SM720.

Alarm handling
Alarm handling
When setting up the system manager there is one setting that enables alarms from all of the connected controllers. All alarms received are recorded in an alarm list, where they are held for further processing. If the system manager is not to receive alarms for the alarm list and further processing, this function must be deselected.
The first thing the system manager do when it receives an alarm from a controller is to send a acknowledge (transport receipt) to the controller that triggered the alarm. The controller will now know that the alarm has been received and registered If it did not receive this accept, the controller would repeat the alarm message five minutes later. The second thing that happens is that the alarm is time-stamped and ID codes (net ID and bus ID) must be entered, if applicable. The third, that the alarm will be passed on to the defined alarm receiver(s).
Alarms from EKC controllers will also be registered by AKA 245, but if the data connection between the EKC controllers and the gateway is interrupted, only an active alarm, if any, will be present when the connection is reestablished. In other words, all alarms occurring during the period without data communication will not be registered.
Alarm status
When an error occurs, an alarm will appear with the status “active”. Once the error has been rectified, a new alarm will appear with the status “inactive”.
The alarm list
The alarm list can contain the 200 most recent alarms. Once the list is full and a new alarm arrives, the oldest alarm will be deleted. In terms of view, alarms are divided into “active” and “inactive” alarms. An alarm will have the status “active” until it once more becomes “inactive” and the “inactive” one has been acknowledged.
Alarm priority
The various alarms generated by an individual controller or by the system manager can be assigned a priority. The priority is used to define how the individual alarm is dealt with. The priorities are:
• High
• Middle
• Low
• Log
• Disabled.
• High, medium and low are forwarded to various alarm receivers.
• High is normally used for alarms where immediate action is
required.
• Log will only be registered in the alarm list as an inactive alarm.
• Cancelled will not be registered anywhere.
In system software type AKM alarm status and alarm priority will have the following relationships:
Alarm status Priority AKM Status
Active High 1
Active Middle 2
Active Low 3
Inactive High, middle, low 0
Alarm indicator
Alarm LED
When there are active alarms in the system manager, “Alarm” will flash. If alarms are forwarded, “Alarm” will flash from the alarm being registered until it is forwarded to the primary or secondary alarm receiver and confirmation of delivery has been received.
Alarm relays
The priorities high, medium and low can be assigned an alarm relay, which is enabled when an alarm of the priority in question occurs. A time can be defined for the enable function, so that the relay is only enabled for a preset time. The relay can also be set to be disabled when there are no active alarms with the priority in question.

User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Alarm routing
Alarm routing forwards the alarm to a specified receiver, but the system manager retains a copy of the alarm for its own use. A little later, when the receiver has received the alarm, the receiver will return an acknowledgement of receipt. Action then rests with the receiver.
Alarm receivers
First of all fixed data must be defined for everyone who is to communicate with the system manager. There can be one or more alarm receivers, or others who must have access to make calls to the system. Only then can the various alarm routes be defined. (In other words: only when we know some addresses can we decide what we want to transmit and when.)
A name and access code are defined for every single receiver.
• Name and access code are the receiver’s access validation, if this person makes calls to the system using Danfoss software type AK-ST, AKM or EM.
• For every single receiver communication type is selected, as well as the associated details that are valid for this type.
• A receiver may not be used until the receiver has been enabled.
• If a receiver is disabled, a message will be sent to the receiver stating that disabling has taken place.
What can be transmitted
Several different alarm routes can be defined. An alarm route can be defined to deal with one single alarm priority or a combination of several priorities. The options available are all, high, medium, low, high to medium and low to medium. The combinations are chosen that are suitable for the individual application. Once the number of routes has been defined and named, a route can be assigned a receiver.
Alarm route full
The alarm route system can handle up to 50 alarms at the same time. Alarms can occur so quickly that distribution of the previous ones has not been completed when a new alarm occurs. The routing system can therefore transmit several alarms in one call. If connection cannot be established to an alarm receiver, an alarm dispatch cannot be completed. A repeat transmission process is initiated. If several alarms occur that are for the same alarm receiver, the alarm route can become full. The system manager then issues an “Alarm route full alarm”. When this happens future alarms will be registered, but not transmitted. When the fault has been rectified, the alarm list must be reviewed manually to see whether there are been any alarms that have occurred and been sent and that require the system to be adjusted. The alarms that are active for the system when the connection is OK will be sent to the alarm receiver.
Alarm repeat
If an alarm message cannot be delivered within 5 mins, it will be re-transmitted every 5 mins until it can be delivered. The diagram below shows the repeat delivery process.

Receiver types
Primary destination
An alarm receiver who is to have the alarm because this person is responsible for rectifying the error. The system manager will always resend to a primary receiver if this person for some reason has not acknowledged receipt. Re-sending stops if a secondary receiver is defined who acknowledges the alarm.
Secondary destination
An alarm receiver who is to be used if the primary alarm receiver does not acknowledge the alarm. The secondary receiver is also responsible for rectifying the error or for making sure that the primary alarm receiver is informed of the alarm. The alarm is resent to the secondary alarm receiver until the primary or secondary alarm receiver has acknowledged the alarm.
Copy destination
A receiver who is not responsible for rectifying the error. The receiver is notified about problems. If the copy receiver does not acknowledge an alarm, it is resent for up to one hour, after which no alarms are resent.

Plant controls
The system manager contains functions that retrieve data from selected controllers for the data communication process. It then processes the information and concludes by defining values in other selected controllers in the network. The individual control­lers will then perform the function specified.
The following functions can be set up:
Schedules
A schedule will define a series of on/off times (signals), which can be used by other functions. A schedule is based on a weekly clock, where special days can also be assigned that deviate from the schedule’s normal weekly layout, e.g. public holidays or other fixed days off. These special days are defined on an annual basis either as days repeated year after year or as days for which the date is only valid for the current year.
Schedule of fixed times
The desired on and off times are set here.
Schedule of the store’s hours of business
A schedule can be created to represent the store’s hours of busi­ness. It also includes the days of the year when the store is closed. A combination of this schedule and a relative schedule will mean that only one schedule needs to be adjusted if the hours of busi­ness change from the fixed pattern.
On/Off function
This function monitors a selected On/Off signal on a selected controller. When the signal is registered to On, the system manager will override selected functions on other controllers to On. All the defined functions will follow the signal. The signal can be inverted. This means that when On is registered, the selected functions will be force controlled Off.
Schedule of relative times
Here the times are set so that they relate to another schedule, i.e. the on time, for example, is 15 minutes before the times in another schedule and the off time, for example, is 30 minutes after the times in another schedule. The second schedule will typically be the schedule containing the store’s hours of business.
The result of a relative schedule and one with the store’s hours of business from 09:00 until 18:00 may be seen below:
Both types of schedule can be overridden with a switch function. If the switch is activated when the schedule is off (night), it will create an on (day) status. If the switch is activated when the schedule is on (day), it will have no function.
AK-SM 720
Day/night function
The function will transmit a signal for night operation to the various refrigeration sites. The function is used, for example, on appliances that are protected by a night cover during the night. The function here will displace the thermostat reference. All of the defined controllers will follow the signal. The signal is generated by a schedule or from a switch function connected to the system manager.

User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Inject ON Signal
This function is used to close the expansion valves on all evapo­rator controls when all of the associated compressors have been stopped by the automatic safety function. This avoids the presence of liquid in the evaporator, which is passed on to the compressor when it restarts. For example: when the compressor stops, the compressor control transmits a signal via data communication. The system manager then forwards the signal to the defined controllers, which then close the valve.
Signals can be received from compressor controls of the following type:
- AK-PC
- EKC Signals can be transmitted to controllers of the following type:
- AK-CC
- EKC.
Defrost groups
This function transmits the signal of a defrost start to a group of controllers.
Adaptive defrost
This function is an optimisation of the defrost time in the indi­vidual evaporator controls. For the evaporator control to be able to optimise this function, it must recognise the condensation temperature Tc. The system manager reads the condensation temperature in the condenser control and sends the value to all evaporator controls in the group. Up to ten groups of evaporator controls can be defined. One evaporator control can only be a member of one group. There can be up to 30 evaporator controls in a group. The signal from the condenser control can be used by several groups.
Possible problem If the signal with the value of the condensation temperature of an evaporator control is not available, the evaporator control will switch to an error compensation status, which takes account of the absent signal.
P0 optimization
This function will adapt the refrigeration system’s suction pres­sure, so that the suction pressure does not become lower than that the most heavily loaded refrigeration appliance can maintain the desired temperature.
The defrost process start can come from a weekly schedule or from a switch function connected to the system manager. When defrost has started, it is up to the individual controllers to determine how it is concluded. Some based on time, others based on temperature. Refrigeration commences when the controller gives permission for it. If, however, refrigeration is to start at the same time for the whole group of controllers, the “Coordinated defrost” function must be selected. When the defrost process has been ended by the indi­vidual controller, the controller switches to hold. The whole group is not released for refrigeration until the final controller has ended its defrost process.
To provide security, a time must be set in the individual control­lers. There is a maximum permitted hold time to wait for the start signal for refrigeration. If this time is passed, refrigeration will be restarted regardless of signals from data communication.
© Danfoss | DCS (vt) | 2020.01 BC041586425769en-000602 | 91
This is achieved by the system manager continuously:
- questioning selected controllers
- finding the appliance that requires most refrigeration at the cur­rent suction pressure and monitoring the temperature
- sending a signal to the compressor control to the effect that the suction pressure can be adapted
- finding the suction pressure at which the temperature is pre­cisely maintained
The process is repeated continuously.
An appliance will not start to work when it has just completed a defrost process. Data is only retrieved from the controller after 30 minutes. The time can be configured.
User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Light control
This function is used to control the lighting in a number of zones in a store. The function is controlled on the basis of a schedule. When light is needed, a light meter will register whether there is sufficient daylight or whether electric light has to be switched on. The user can override the automatic light status with a switch function.
The system manager can handle up to two light sensors, which must be type 080Z2172. The system manager can handle up to eight zones. The need for light is entered into one or more schedules. The same schedule can be used for several zones. For each zone you select the relevant light sensor as well as the on and off light levels for the zone. Minimum times are also set, so that the light is not switched off during short-term changes in the light level. All zones can be fitted with override switches, which render the automatic function powerless.
It is also possible to define a switch that is valid for all zones. This can, for example, receive signals from other equipment, e.g. fire or alarm systems.
Example
Adaptive rail heat
Adaptive rail heat is used to obtain energy-efficient control of the rail heat of refrigeration appliances. Evaporator controls with this function must receive a signal with the current dew point value. A dew point sensor is connected to the system manager, which then transmits the value to the various controllers via data com­munication.
Up to three groups of evaporator controls can be defined. Each group must have its specific dew point sensor. The dew point sensor must be located in the same room as the refrigeration ap­pliances that are to receive the signal. One evaporator control can only be a member of one group. There can be up to 30 evaporator controls in a group.
The dew point sensor must be type 080Z2171.
Possible problem If the signal with the value of the dew point of an evaporator con­trol is not available, the evaporator control will switch to an error compensation status, which takes account of the absent signal.
A store is divided into four zones: three sales areas and one ware­house area.
• The three sales areas use the same schedule.
• In the warehouse area there is a need for light two hours before and one hour after the hours of business.
• Two relative schedules are created with reference to the store’s hours of business.
• The light sensor is positioned outside the building and measures the general daylight.
• The light levels for the zones are set so that the light is switched off when the daylight provides sufficient light in the zone. The individual zones have different values, according to how much daylight comes in.
• An override switch is set up in the warehouse area, making it possible to switch on the light outside the planned schedule, e.g. for goods deliveries at night. A delay function means that the light is switched off one hour after the override has been enabled.
• Signals are received from alarm systems and fire alarms, so that all lights are switched on if a signal is received.
Consumption measurement
This function registers the consumption of electricity, water, gas, etc. These measurements are saved in the system manager and can be retrieved later for presentation, analysis and settlement. An expansion module type XM107A must be used. The module is a pulse counter module, which measures pulses in accordance with DIN 43 864. Conversion from, for example, current to pulses takes place in an energy counter.
Tarif 3
Tarif 2 Tarig 1
Energy counters can be divided into several groups, e.g. one main meter and several ancillary meters. The main meter measures all of the consumption for the installa­tion. Some main meters are fitted with tariff and synchronisation switches.
• The tariff switches change position, depending on tariff changes.
• The synchronisation switch changes at regular intervals (typically every 15 mins) and indicates that a new measurement period has started.
These switches can be connected to the system manager, which will monitor the switches and save the tariff information and con­sumption data for all of the energy meters connected when a new measurement period starts.
92 | BC041586425769en-000602 © Danfoss | DCS (vt) | 2020.01
User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Ancillary meters measure an element of consumption. It might be interesting to know, for example, the freezer department’s energy consumption.
Measurement intervals and the consumption of synchronisation and tariff inputs are set jointly for all energy meters. If these inputs are not used, the system manager will define its own measurement period.
The system manager supports up to eight energy meters.
The conversion ratio, unit and pulses per unit must be set on the basis of the current configuration. The conversion ratios for cur­rent and voltage transformers are multiplied. The conversion ratio is defined as primary/secondary signal. Each measurement can be named, to make it easier to review data later. The unit can also be given any name. Each individual energy counter can be started and stopped. It is also possible to reset the current counter value to 0 or to another value. E.g. when changing energy counter. The time of this setting will be saved.
Load shedding
This function makes it possible to avoid high peak loads. Energy prices can be billed differently, e.g.
• peak consumption
• peak consumption in a period
• different value at different times of the day This function places a ceiling over consumption within a period and evens out consumption.
At the beginning of a period all consumption will be engaged dur­ing an adjustable period of time, so that the function has a basis for calculation before control commences. To achieve stable control, the commencement of disengagement and engagement must be definable as a percentage of maximum consumption.
Disengagement will take place in order of priority, so the con­sumption that is most suitable for disengagement must be con­nected to the output with the lowest priority. Relay 1 has the highest priority and is the last one to be cut out. Relay number 2 has the next highest priority etc. The highest number is cut out first. When re-engagement takes place, the relay that was most re­cently disengaged is the first to be engaged.
Disengagement of consumption is protected by an adjustable minimum timer, which makes sure that the relay does not change more often than consumption permits.
The current limit, current calculation of consumption and relay status can be read via Service tool.
• The function is named
• The energy meter in relation to which regulation takes place is specified.
• There can be different tariffs. Signals can be received from two inputs on different tariffs. Three limits can be defined on the basis of the signals. The various limits are enabled as follows:
Tariff 1-2 (input) Tariff 3 (input) Actual tariff
Inactive Inactive Tariff 1 limit
Active Inactive Tariff 2 limit
Inactive Active Tariff 3 limit
Active Active Tariff 3 limit
Consumption is monitored within a measurement period. If con­sumption rises above a limit, consumption will gradually be dis­engaged with the aid of relays. One consumption has fallen below the limit once more, re-engagement takes place. Disengagement can take place in ten steps. As already mentioned, current consumption must be registered under consumption measurement.
Synchronisation time eg. every 15. min.
Tarif
fx 90%
fx 80%
For each tariff a limit must be defined, according to which the system manager will disengage.

Logs
Data collection in the system manager
Data collection is performed in the system manager to which the individual controllers are connected.
For definition, start, stop and presentation of a data collection (logs) it will be necessary to have a switch for an operating inter­face. During the rest of the time the system manager itself will take care of data collection. Data can thus be collected for a system that is not directly con­nected to a PC. The data collected can then be downloaded at intervals to a PC, so that it can be presented. Downloading can take place, for example, via a telephone connection.
Two different types of logs can be created in the system manager:
1) Food Safety logs (“authority logs”) and
2) Service logs. The difference between these lies mainly in the intervals at which data can be logged, and thus the length of the period of time for which the memory has the capacity.
Limitations:
- It is possible to create max. 200 logs in a system manager.
- Each log will represent one controller
- Each log can contain a maximum of ten parameters
- The interval for Food Safety logs is between 15 minutes and 24 hours
- The interval for Service logs is between 1 minute and 4 hours
- If too many service logs are created, data communication will be overloaded and there will be “gaps” in the log data.
immediately, as all data readings will take place at times adjusted according to the log interval. This means, for example, that in a log with an interval of 15 minutes, data will be read at times that are multiples of these 15 minutes, i.e. at 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour. By the same token, a log with an interval of 2 hours will be read at even hours, i.e. 0:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, etc. until 22:00. If the interval is 6 hours, the times will be 0:00, 6:00, 12:00, 18:00. These fixed log times can­not be changed.
If a log has been stopped for a period and then restarted, there will be no data for the period in question.
The system manager performs ongoing checks on all log setups by means of a simple check total calculation. In the event of any error, the log in question will be deleted. An alarm is then issued with details of the log number.
When setting up logs, the system manager will show how much of the capacity is being reserved. If the max. capacity is being approached, either the interval must be made longer or the log period shorter.
The log function is able to continuously collect and save data from the controllers that are connected to the network for which the system manager in question is the master.
Definition, start, stop and presentation of a data collection (logs) must be undertaken from software type AK-ST. Data collections can also be retrieved and presented in software type AKM.
All logs in the system manager are “rolling”, i.e. data are overwrit­ten if they are not downloaded within the preset period of time (expiry time).
The log setup will be deleted and all data collected will be lost if the system address of the system manager is changed or if the supply voltage is removed and the battery is defective or has been removed.
If logs (a single one or all of them) are deleted without the logged data being downloaded, these data will be lost. No alarm is issued in the event of such a deletion.
When a log starts, data collection will not necessarily take place

User Guide | Network control AK-SM 720
Data collection takes up this much room
When a log is established, room is set aside for data. Just how much room is reserved is determined by various parameters. The amount of room that will be reserved can be seen when new logs are established. Example: Only Food Safety logs are collected. If six parameters from 20 controllers with one hour time interval are logged and the period time is set to 540 hours it will give a 9% utilisation of the storage capacity. (After the 540 hours (22,5 days and nights) the oldest data will be overwritten by new data.)

Clock
Clock function
The system manager has an built in clock function, which is used for:
- Time stamping of alarms.
- Synchronisation of clocks in all connected controllers.
- Switching between summer/winter time settings.
- Schedule functions, e.g. for day/night controls.
- Log function. Logs can only be collected when the clock is started.
The system manager that is assigned address 1 for a network is given primary clock function. This system manager will synchronise the clocks in all controllers in the network. If other system managers are also connected via the IP network, they will also have their clocks synchronised from address 1. The clocks are synchronised after each startup of the system manager, and thereafter at least once every 24 hours. If a control­ler has been without power for more than two minutes, the clock will be synchronised when the controller is once more registered in the network.
The clock module is fitted in the system manager in the factory.
Only the clock uses battery backup. The other functions are inde­pendent of battery backup. An alarm message will be issued when the battery needs replac­ing.
The clock function must be set after the battery has been re­placed.

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 fit 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.
