REGULATION 

 

Hy Differential: 

(0,1°C 

÷

 25°C / 1°F ÷ 45°F) Intervention differential for set point. Compressor Cut 

IN is SET POINT + differential (Hy). Compressor Cut OUT is when the temperature reaches the 

set point. 

LS  Minimum SET POINT:

 (-55°C÷SET/-67°F÷SET): Sets the minimum value for the set point.. 

US  Maximum SET POINT:

 (SET÷99°C/ SET÷99°F). Set the maximum value for set point. 

ot  First probe calibration: 

(-9.9÷9.9°C / -17°F ÷ 17°F) allows to adjust possible offset of the first 

probe. 

P2  Evaporator probe presence:

 

n=

 not present; 

y=

 the defrost stops by temperature. 

oE  Second probe calibration: 

(-9.9÷9.9°C / -17°F ÷ 17°F) allows to adjust possible offset of the 

second probe. 

od  Outputs activation delay at start up:

 (0÷99min) This function is enabled at the initial start up of 

the instrument and inhibits any output activation for the period of time set in the parameter.  

AC   Anti-short  cycle  delay

: (0÷50 min) minimum interval between the compressor stop and the 

following restart. 

Cy  Compressor ON time with faulty probe: 

(0÷99 min) time during which the compressor is active 

in case of faulty thermostat probe. With Cy=0 compressor is always OFF. 

Cn  Compressor OFF time with faulty probe: 

(0÷99 min) time during which the compressor is OFF 

in case of faulty thermostat probe. With Cn=0 compressor is always active.

WARNING

: When the measurement

beginning of two defrost cycles.  

Md  Maximum length for defrost:

9.  DIGITAL INPUTS (ONLY XR03CX) 

The free voltage digital input is programmable in different configurations by the “

i1F

” parameter. 

 

 

DOOR SWITCH (iF=do) 

 

It signals the door status and the corresponding relay output status through the “

dC

” parameter: 

no

 = 

normal (any change); 

Fn

 = Fan OFF; 

CP

 = Compressor OFF; 

FC

 = Compressor and fan OFF. 

Since the door is opened, after the delay time set through parameter “

di

”, the door alarm is enabled, 

the display shows the message “

dA

” and 

the regulation restarts if rd = y.

 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. 

 

EXTERNAL ALARM (iF=EA) 

 

As soon as the digital input is activated the unit will wait for “

di

” time delay before signalling the “

EA

” 

alarm message. The outputs status don’t change. The alarm stops just after the digital input is de-

activated. 

 

SERIOUS ALARM (iF=bA) 

When the digital input is activated, the unit will wait for “

di

” 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. 

 

START DEFROST (iF=dF) 

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 “

Md

” safety time is 

expired. 

INVERSION OF THE KIND OF ACTION: HEATING - COOLING  (iF=Hc) 

 

This function allows to invert the regulation of the controller: from cooling to heating and viceversa. 

10.  INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING 

 

Instrument 

XR06CX

 shall be mounted on vertical panel, in a 

29x71 mm hole, and fixed using the special bracket supplied. 
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. 

 

 

11. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

The instrument is provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross section up to 2,5 

mm

2

. Before connecting cables make sure the power supply 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. 

11.1

 

PROBES 

 

The probes shall be mounted with the bulb upwards to prevent damages 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. 

12.  HOW TO USE THE HOT KEY 

12.1

 

HOW TO PROGRAM THE HOT KEY FROM THE INSTRUMENT (UPLOAD)

uP

" message appears 

followed a by flashing “

Ed

” 

3.

 

Push “

SET

” key and the “

Ed

” will stop flashing. 

4.

 

Turn OFF the instrument remove the “Hot Key”, then turn it ON again. 

 

NOTE

Er

” message is displayed for failed programming. In this case push again o key if you want 

to restart the upload again or remove the “Hot key” to abort the operation. 

12.2

 

HOW TO PROGRAM AN INSTRUMENT USING HOT KEY (DOWNLOAD) 

1.

 

Turn OFF the instrument. 

2.

 

Insert  a 

programmed “Hot Key” into the 5 PIN receptacle

 and then turn the Controller ON. 

3.

 

Automatically the parameter list of the “Hot Key” is downloaded into the Controller memory, the 

do

” message is blinking followed a by flashing “

Ed

”. 

4.

 

After 10 seconds the instrument will restart working with the new parameters.  

5.

 

Remove the “Hot Key”.. 

 

NOTE

ALARM RECOVERY 

Probe alarms 

P1

” and “

P2”

 start some seconds after the fault in the related probe; they automatically 

stop some seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the 

probe. Temperature alarms “

HA

” and “

LA

” automatically stop as soon as the temperature returns to 

normal values. 

Alarms 

“EA”

 and 

“CA” 

(with iF=bL)

 

recover as soon as the digital input is disabled.
