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
XR70CX
, format 32 x 74 mm, is microprocessor based controller, suitable for applications on
medium or low temperature ventilated refrigerating units. It has four relay outputs to control
compressor, fan, and defrost, which can be either electrical or reverse cycle (hot gas). The last one
can be used as light, for alarm signalling or as auxiliary output. It’s provided with a Real Time Clock
which allows programming of up to 6 daily defrost cycles, divided into holidays and workdays. A “Day
and Night” function with two different set points is fitted for energy saving. It is also provided with up
to four NTC or PTC probe inputs, the first one for temperature control, the second one, to be located
onto the evaporator, to control the defrost termination temperature and to managed the fan. The
digital input can operate as third temperature probe. The fourth one, to connect to the HOT KEY
terminals is used to signal the condenser temperature alarm or to display a temperature..
The HOT KEY output allows to connect the unit, by means of the external module XJ485-CX, to a
network line
ModBUS-RTU
compatible such as the
dIXEL
monitoring units of X-WEB family. It
allows to program the controller by means the HOT KEY programming keyboard.
The instrument is fully configurable through special parameters that can be easily programmed
through the keyboard.

CONTROLLING LOADS
3.1
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.

Compr.
SET
ON
In case of fault in the thermostat probe the start and stop of the compressor are timed through
parameters “
COn
” and “
COF
”.
3.2
DEFROST
Two defrost modes are available through the “
tdF
” parameter: defrost through electrical heater (
tdF
= EL
) and hot gas defrost (
tdF = in
). The defrost interval is controlled by means of parameter “
EdF
”:
-
with EdF=in the defrost is made every “
IdF
” time,
-
with EdF = “rtc”, the defrost is made in real time depending on the hours set in the parameters
Ld1..Ld6
on workdays and in
Sd1…Sd6
in holidays;
Other parameters are used to control defrost cycles: its maximum length (MdF) and two defrost
modes: timed or controlled by the evaporator’s probe (P2P).
At the end of defrost dripping time is started, its length is set in the Fdt parameter. With Fdt =0 the
dripping time is disabled.
3.3
CONTROL OF EVAPORATOR FANS
The fan control mode is selected by means of the “
FnC
” parameter:
FnC = C_n:
fans will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and
not run
during defrost;
FnC = o_n
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 “
Fnd
” parameter.
FnC = C_Y
fans will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and
run
during defrost;
FnC = o_Y
fans will run continuously also during defrost
An additional parameter “
FSt
” 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 “FSt”.
3.3.1 Forced activation of fans
This function managed by the
Fct
parameter is designed to avoid short cycles of fans, that could
happen when the controller is switched on or after a defrost, when the room air warms the
evaporator.
Functioning:
if the difference of temperature between the evaporator and the room
probes is more than the value of the Fct parameter, the fans are switched on. With Fct=0 the function
is disabled.
3.3.2 Cyclical activation of the fans with compressor off.
When Fnc = c-n or c-Y (fans in parallel to the compressor), by means of the Fon and FoF
parameters the fans can carry out on and off cycles even if the compressor is switched off. When the
compressor is stopped the fans go on working for the Fon time. With Fon =0 the fans remain always
off, when the compressor is off.
