Function

Para- 

meter

Parameter by operation via 

data communication

Normal display

Normally the superheat is shown (but the valve’s opening degree or air temperature 

may also be selected. See o17).

SH  /  OD%  /  S3 temp

Reference

Se point

Regulation is performed based on the set value provided that there is no external 

contribution (o10).

(Push both buttons simultaneously to set the setpoint).

-

TempSetpoint.

Differential

When the temperature is higher than the reference plus the set differential, the sole-

noid valve’s relay will be activated. It will become deactivated when the temperature 

drops below the set reference.

r01

Differential

Unit

Here you select whether the controller is to indicate the temperature values in °C or 

in °F. If  indication in °F is selected, other temperature settings will also change over to 

Fahrenheit, either as absolute values or as delta values

The combination of temperature unit and pressure unit is depicted to the right.

r05

Units

0: °C + bar

1: °F + psig

(in AKM only °C + bar – is displayed 

– whatever the setting).

External contribution to the reference 

This setting determines how large a contribution is to be added to the set setpoint 

when the input signal is max. (20 mA). See o10.

r06

ExtRefOffset

Correction of signal from S2

(Compensation possibility through long sensor cable).

r09

Adjust S2

Correction of signal from S3

(Compensation possibility through long sensor cable).

r10

Adjust S3

Start/stop of refrigeration

With this setting refrigeration can be started and stopped. Start/stop of refrigeration 

can also be accomplished with the external switch function. See also appendix 1.

r12

Main Switch

Define thermostat function

0:  No thermostat function. Only the superheat is regulated

1:  Thermostat function as well as regulation of superheat.

r14

Therm. Mode

Alarm

The controller can give alarm in different situations. When there is an alarm all the 

light-emitting diodes (LED) will flash on the controller front panel, and the alarm relay 

will cut in.

Alarm for upper deviation

The alarm for too high S3 temperature is set here. The value is set in Kelvin. The alarm 

becomes active when the S3 temperature exceeds the actual reference plus A01. (The 

actual reference can be seen in u28).

A01

Hgh.TempAlrm

Alarm for lower deviation

The alarm for too low S3 temperature is set here. The value is set in Kelvin. The alarm 

becomes active when the S3 temperature drops below the actual reference minus 

A02.

A02

Low.TempAlrm

Alarm delay

If one of the two limit values is exceeded, a timer function will commence. The alarm 

will not become active until the set time delay has been passed. The time delay is set 

in minutes.

A03

TempAlrmDel

With data communication the impor-

tance of the individual alarms can be 

defined. Setting is carried out in the 

“Alarm destinations” menu. See also
