The ERC 213 is designed to be an easy, universal replacement control. We encourage users to employ one of five predefined applications that meet the
needs of most systems. If users need to modify specific parameters, it should be done after installing the predefined application that most closely meets
system needs.

STEP 1 Wire control, to include power and sensors
Power up control
STEP 2
Energize control
Enter Quick Configuration Menu and Select app
Press ”<” for more than three seconds within one minute of power up to enter Quick Configuration Menu. o61 appears on screen
STEP 3
Press “set” while o61 is on screenAP0 flashes on screen
Select appropriate app using App Selection section below by pressing “ ” or “ ”, then press “set”.o06 appears on screen
Select Sensor
Press “set” while o06 is on screenn10 flashes on screen
STEP 4
If using included sensor, leave default value “n10”. If using another sensor, select using Sensor Resistance
section on opposing page or cycle through steps 2 – 4 changing the sensor type until the temperature reading
on the main screen is accurate. As above, cycle between options by pressing “ ” or “ ” and press “set” to save.
Set Temperature
STEP 5
From main screen, quickly press “set” (1 second).Current temp. setting appears on screen
Cycle to intended temperature by pressing “ ” or “ ” and press “set” to save.Screen returns to main screen
Control turns on, goes through start up,
then shows the current temperature reading
o06 appears on screen, then control resets
App Selection
Select application based on application and wiring configuration (i.e., refrigeration vs. freezing, and number of temperature sensors). The Typical Wiring
Configurations diagram on the reverse side of this document may be used to assist with selection. All parameters can be modified using the full menu.
Some parameters have min and max set points which may need to be changed for less common configurations.

Common Functions
Adjust Temperature Set Point
From main screen, quickly press “set” (one second). The current temperature setting will appear on screen. Cycle to intended temperature by pressing
“^” or “^” and press “set” to save. The display will return to the main screen.
Adjust Differential
From main screen, press “set” for more than three seconds. Cycle to “r--” submenu by pressing “ ” or “ ” and press “set.” Cycle to “r01” and press “set.” Cycle to
preferred differential setting, and press “set” to save. “r01” will appear on screen. Press “<” twice to return to main screen.
Manual Defrost
From main screen, press defrost for more than three seconds to initiate defrost. The DEFROST icon is shown during defrost. Press defrost key for at least
three seconds to stop manual defrost.
Factory Reset
Press and hold “ ” and “ ” simultaneously at power up.
Unlock Keypad
After 5 minutes of no activity, the keypad will lock if P76 = yes (by default it is set to no). When the keypad is locked any key press shows “LoC”
in the display. Press “ ” and “ ” simultaneously for three seconds to unlock the keyboard. “unl” is displayed for three seconds.
