 Capacity Controller, AK-PC 651

2 | RS8HA102 | 

Introduction

Application

The controller is used for capacity regulation of compressors  

and condensers in small refrigeration applications. A maximum of  

10 compressors and one condenser can be regulated. For exam-

ple:
• One suction group + one condenser group (max. 15 steps)
• One compressor group, max. 10 steps
• One condenser group, max. 8 steps

Advantages

• Energy savings via:

- Optimisation of suction pressure

- Night time increase

- Floating condensing pressure

- Load limitation 

Input and output

There are a limited number of available inputs and outputs. 

For each signal type, though, the following can be connected:

• Analogue inputs, max. 10 pcs.

Signal from pressure transmitters, temperature sensors,  

voltage signal, etc.

• Digital inputs, max. 18 pcs.

Signal from automatic safety control, day/night signal, etc.

• Relay outputs, max. 13 pcs.

Connection of compressors, condenser fans

• Solid state outputs, max. 2 pcs.

- Control of capacity valve on a Copeland digital scroll 

- Control of unloaders on a Copeland stream compressor. 

- Control of unloaders on a  Bitzer CRII Ecoline compressor

If the outputs are not used for these functions, they can be used 

as ordinary relay outputs 

• Analogue outputs, max. 4 pcs.

Speed control of compressors or condenser fans.

Operation

The daily operation can be set up directly on the controller or  

via an external display device.

During set-up, the display images will be adjusted so that only  

the relevant images are opened for additional setting and  

end-user operation.

The operation is password protected, and three levels of  

access can be granted. 

The controller contains several languages. Select the preferred 

language at start-up. 

Data communication

The controller has built-in modbus data communication, and it 

can be connected to a system device in the AK-SM 800 serie.
