Example
Optimised superheat regulation with limit if the condensing pressure is low.
Optimised superheat regulation is used when the condensing
pressure is above the set value.
If the condensing pressure falls below the set value, the optimised
superheat regulation ceases and the ETS valve closes gradually
until the pressure rises above the value.

the cool side (S2)
18-20 Pt 1000 sensor at the heat exchanger input on

Application dependent connections
Terminals:
1-2 DI input for external main switch (also see r12). If no
switch is mounted, the terminals should be short circuited.
12-13 Relay for controlling solenoid valve in liquid line or the
relay can be used as alarm relay (see o36).
Valve control: 12 and 13 are connected under normal
operating conditions and interrupted supply voltage.
Disconnects when regulation requires a low valve opening degree.
Alarm relay: 12 and 13 are connected under normal operating conditions and disconnected in case of alarm.
21,22,23,24 Connecting an ETS valve. (Terminals 21 through 24
should not be used when using an ICMTS valve instead
of an ETS valve. ICMTS valves should be controlled via the
0-10 V signal on terminals 5 and 6.)
5-6 Voltage output 0-10 V. Can be used for the valve's opening
degree signal or to control an ICMTS valve.
(For a special use with a solid state relay and AKV, the
output will pulse with 10 V on/off)
3-4 Data communication
Mount only, if a data communication module has been
mounted.
It is important that the installation of the data communication cable be done correctly. Cf. separate literature No.
RC8AC...
*) For explosive applications an intrinsically safe pressure transmitter can
be used. Connection is shown in manual page 12.

Operation
Display
The values will be shown with three digits.
Temperature are shown in °C and pressure in bar.
Light-emitting diodes (LED) on front panel
All 4 light-emitting diodes will flash when there is an error in the
regulation.
In this situation you can upload the error code on the display and
cancel the alarm by giving the uppermost button a brief push.
The controller can give the following messages:
E1
E15
E16 Shortcircuited S2 sensor
Error message
E17 Cut-out S3 sensor
E18 Shortcircuited S3 sensor
E20 Fault on signal from Pc
E39 Fault on signal from P0
A11
A43 Step motor fault. Output or phase
Alarm message
A45 Regulation stopped. Main switch r12 = off
A92 No regulation parameters has been selected
The buttons
When you want to change a setting, the two 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 two
buttons simultaneously. When you have changed the value, save
the new value by once more pushing the two buttons simultaneously.

Saves a change
Examples of operations
Set of a menu
1. Push the upper button until a parameter is shown
2. Push one of the buttons and find the parameter you want to
change
3. Push both buttons simultaneously until the parameter value is
shown
4. Push one of the buttons and select the new value
5. Push both buttons again to conclude the setting
*) This setting will only be possible if a data communication module has been installed in the
controller.
**) The display on the controller can show 3 digits only, but the setting value has 4 digits. Only the
3 most important will be shown. It means fx. 250 will give a setting of 2500.
