2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model
designed for refrigeration applications at normal temperature. It provides a relay
output to drive the compressor and a PTC or NTC probe input. A internal ti mer
manages the off cycle defrost. The instrument is fully configurable through special
parameters that can be easily programmed through the keyboard.
3. CONTROLLING LOADS
3.1 COMPRESSOR
The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the
thermostat probe with a positive differential from the set point: if the temperature
increases and reaches set point plus differential the compressor is started and then
turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6.8 THE CONTINUOUS CYCLE
When defrost is not in progress, it can be activated by holding
the “
''” key pressed for about 3 seconds.
The compressor operates in continuous mode for the time set through the “CCt”
parameter. The cycle can be terminated before the end of the set time using the
same activation key “
''” for 3 seconds.

8. DIGITAL INPUT
The free contact digital input is programmable in five different configurations by the
“i1F” parameter.
8.1 DOOR SWITCH INPUT (i1F = dor)
It signals the door status and the corresponding relay output status through the
“odc” parameter:
no, Fan = normal (any change);
CPr, F_C = Compressor OFF;
Since the door is opened, after the delay time set through parameter “ did”, the door
alarm is enabled, the display shows the message “dA” and
The alarm stops as soon as the external digital input is disabled again. With the
door open, the high and low temperature alarms are disabled.
8.2 GENERIC ALARM (i1F = EAL)
As soon as the digital input is activated the unit will wait for “did” time delay before
signalling the “EAL” alarm message. The outputs status don’t change. The alarm
stops just after the digital input is de-activated.
8.3 SERIOUS ALARM MODE (i1F = bAL)
When the digital input is activated, the unit will wait for “did” delay before signalling
the “CA” alarm message. The relay outputs are switched OFF. The alarm will stop
as soon as the digital input is de-activated.
8.4 PRESSURE SWITCH (i1F = PAL)

8.5 START DEFROST (i 1F = dFr)
It starts a defrost if there are the right conditions. After the defrost is finished, the
normal regulation will restart only if the digital input is disabled otherwise the
instrument will wait until the “MdF” safety time is expired.
8.6 INVERSION OF THE KI ND OF ACTION: HEATINGCOOLING (i1F = Htr)
This function allows to invert the regulation of the controller: from cooling to heating
and viceversa.
8.7 DIGITAL INPUTS POLARITY
The digital input polarity depends on the “i1P” parameter.
i1P=CL: the input is activated by closing the contact.
i1P=OP: the input is activated by opening the contact
9. INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
Instrument XR20C shall be mounted on vertical panel,
in a 29x71 mm hole, and fixed using the special
bracket supplied.
To obtain an IP65 protection grade use the front
panel rubber gasket (mod. RG-C) as shown in figure.
The temperature range allowed for correct operation is 0÷60 °C. Avoid places
subject to strong vibrations, corrosive gases, excessive dirt or humidity. The same
recommendations apply to probes. Let air circulate by the cooling holes.
10. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The instrument is provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross
section up to 2,5 mm
complies with the instrument’s requirements. Separate the probe cables from the
power supply cables, from the outputs and the power connections. Do not exceed
the maximum current allowed on each relay, in case of heavier loads use a suitable
external relay.
2
. Before connecting cables make sure the power supply
10.1 PROBE CONNECTION
The probes shall be mounted with the bulb upwards to prevent dam ages due to
casual liquid infiltration. It is recommended to place the thermostat probe away from
air streams to correctly measure the average room temperature. Place the defrost
termination probe among the evaporator fins in the coldest place, where most ice is
formed, far from heaters or from the warmest place during defrost, to prevent
premature defrost termination.
