2. GENERAL WARNINGS 

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. 

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. 

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

XR06CX

format  32 x 74 x 60 mm

, is microprocessor based controller, suitable for applications 

on medium or low temperature ventilated refrigerating units. It has three relay outputs to control 

compressor, fan, and defrost which can be either electrical or reverse cycle (hot gas). The device is 

also provided with 2 NTC probe inputs, the first one for temperature control and the second one to be 

located onto the evaporator, to control the defrost termination temperature and to managed the fan 

and it’s provided with a configurable digital input. With the HOTKEY it’s possible to program the 

instrument in a quick and easy way. 

4. REGULATION 

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 “

Cy

” and “

Cn

”. 

5. DEFROST 

Two defrost modes are available through the “

td

” parameter: 

 

td=EL

 

 

defrost through electrical heater (compressor OFF) 

 

td=in 

 

hot gas  defrost (compressor ON).  

Other parameters are used to control the interval between defrost cycles (

id

) ), its maximum length 

(

Md

) and two defrost modes: timed or controlled by the evaporator’s probe. At the end of defrost 

dripping time is started, its length is set in the 

dt

 parameter. With 

dt=0

 the dripping time is disabled. 

6. FANS 

With 

FC

 parameter it can be selected the fans functioning: 

 

FC=cn 

 will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and

 not run

 during defrost 

 

FC=on 

 fans will run even if the compressor is off, and not run during defrost 

 

After defrost, there is a timed fan delay allowing for drip time, set by means of the “

Fd

” parameter. 

 

 

FC=cy 

 

fans will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and 

run

 during defrost 

 

FC=oY

 

 

fans will run continuously also during defrost. 

 

An additional parameter “

FS

” provides the setting of temperature, detected by the evaporator probe, 

above which the fans are always OFF. This is used to make sure circulation of air only if his 

temperature is lower than set in “

FS

” 

FANS AND DIGITAL INPUT 

When the digital input is configured as door switch 

iF=do

, fans and compressor status depends on the 

dC

 parameter value:  

 

dC=no 

 normal regulation; 

 

dC=Fn

 

 

fans OFF; 

 

dC=cP

 

 compressor OFF;  

 

dC=Fc

 

 compressor and fans OFF. 

When  

rd=y

, the regulation restart with door open alarm.
