GENERAL WARNING 

1.1

 

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS MANUAL 

 

This manual is part of the product and should be kept near the instrument for easy and quick 
reference. 

 

The instrument shall not be used for purposes different from those described hereunder. It cannot 
be used as a safety device. 

 

Check the application limits before proceeding. 

1.2

 

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

 

Check the supply voltage is correct before connecting the instrument. 

 

Do not expose to water or moisture: use the controller only within the operating limits avoiding 
sudden temperature changes with high atmospheric humidity to prevent  formation of 
condensation 

 

Warning: disconnect all electrical connections before any kind of maintenance. 

 

Fit the probe where it is not accessible by the End User. The instrument must not be opened. 

 

In case of failure or faulty operation send the instrument back to the distributor or to “Dixell S.p.A. 
(see address) with a detailed description of the fault. 

 

Consider the maximum current which can be applied to each relay (see Technical Data). 

 

Ensure that the wires for probes, loads and the power supply are separated and far enough from 
each other, without crossing or intertwining. 

 

In case of applications in industrial environments, the use of mains filters (our mod. FT1) in 
parallel with inductive loads could be useful.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

Model 

XW40LS

38x185

 mm format, is microprocessor based controller suitable for applications on 

medium or normal temperature refrigerating units. It is provided with 3 relay outputs to control 
compressor , light and fan. 
It is also provided with 1 NTC or PTC probe inputs for temperature control. 
An  output allows the user to programme the parameter list with the 

“Hot Key”.

CONTROLLING LOADS 

3.1

 

THE 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. 
In case of fault in the thermostat probe the start and stop of the compressor are timed through 
parameters “

COn

” and “

COF

”. 

3.2

 

FAST FREEZING 

When defrost is not in progress, it can be activated the keypad by holding the 

o

 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, 

o

 for about 

3 seconds. 

3.3

 

DEFROST 

The defrost interval is control by means of parameter “

EdF

”: (EdF=in) the defrost is made every “

IdF

” 

time, (EdF=Sd) the interval “IdF” is calculate through Smart Defrost algorithm (only when the 
compressor is ON). 
Defrost is performed through a simple stop of the compressor. Parameter “

IdF

” controls the interval 

between defrost cycles, while its length is controlled by parameter “

MdF

”.

To display and modify target set point; in programming mode it selects a parameter or 
confirm an operation.  
By holding it pressed for 3s when max or min temperature is displayed it will be erased. 
 

 

To see the max. stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter 
codes or increases the displayed value. By holding it pressed for 3s the fast freezing  cycle 
is started. 

 

To see the min stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes 
or decreases the displayed value. 
 
 
By holding it pressed for 3s the defrost is started. 

 

 

 

 
Switch ON and OFF the light of the cold-room 

 

 
Switch ON and OFF the instrument.
