1. GENERAL WARNING 

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. 

2.  General description  

Model 

XW40K

 is microprocessor based controller suitable for applications on medium or low 

temperature refrigerating units. It has to be connected by means of a two-wire cable (

 1mm) at a 

distance of up to 30 meters to the keyboard 

T620 

or 

V620

 or 

CX620

. It is provided with three relay 

outputs to control compressor, defrost - which can be either electrical or hot gas  - and light. It is also 

provided with 4 NTC probe inputs, one for temperature control, one to control the defrost end 

temperature of the evaporator and the third and fourth to control condenser  temperature or to display 

another 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. 

3. 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

”. 

The relay of the second compressor is activated in parallel with the relay of the first compressor, with a 

possible delay set in the 

AC1 

parameter. Both the compressors are switched off at the same time. 

3.2

 

FAST FREEZING 

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

o

” key pressed for about 3 

seconds. The compressor operates to maintain the “

ccS

” set point 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 3 seconds. 

3.3

 

DEFROST 

Two defrost modes are available through the “

tdF

” parameter: defrost through electrical heater (

tdF = 

EL

) and hot gas  defrost (

tdF = in

). Other parameters are used to control the interval between defrost 

cycles (IdF), 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 FSt parameter. With 

FSt =0 the dripping time is disabled. 

4.  Relay 22-23 configuration- special functions 

By means of the parameter 

oA3

, it’s possible to configure the functions of the light relay (22-23), as 

described in the following paragraphs: 

OA3 = LIG: LIGHT RELAY (FACTORY SETTING) 

By setting oA3 = Lig the relay will work as light relay, it is switched on and off by the light button on the 

keyboard and is affected by status of the digital input when i1F = dor. 

 

OA3 = CP2 2

ND

 COMPRESSOR MANAGEMENT  

By setting oA3 = cP2, the relay at terminals 22-23 will operate as “second compressor”.  It will be 

activated in parallel with the relay of the first compressor, with a possible delay set in the 

AC1 

parameter (seconds). Both the compressors are switched off at the same time. 

 

OA3 = ONF: ON –OFF   RELAY  

By setting oA3 =onF, the relay will operate as “on-off” relay: it will be activated when the controller is 

switched on and it will be switched off when the controller is in stand-by status. 

 

OA3 = AUS: AUXILIARY RELAY 

By setting oA3 = AUS, the relay 22-23 will work as auxiliary thermostat (I.E.. anti condensing heater). 

Parameters involved:  

-

 

ACH (cL, Ht): 

Kind of regulation for the auxiliary relay: 

Ht =

 heating /

 CL = 

cooling

-

 

SAA (-50÷150) 

Set point for auxiliary relay  

-

 

SHy (0÷25.5°C)

 Differential for auxiliary output.  

o

 

With ACH = CL: aux relay 

cut in

 is SAA+SHy, cut out SAA. 

o

 

With ACH = Ht: aux relay 

cut in

 is SAA-SHy, cut out SAA. 

-

 

ArP (nP, P1, P2, P3, P4) 

Probe for auxiliary relay  

-

 

Sdd (n, Y) 

Auxiliary output working during defrost

 

OA3 = ALR: ALARM RELAY 

By setting oA3 = ALr the relay will work as alarm relay, it is switched on when an alarm happens. 

Parameters involved:  

-

 

tbA (n, y) 

Alarm relay silencing 

-

 

AoP (cL; oP) 

  Alarm relay polarity 

OA3 = DB: NEUTRAL ZONE 

By setting 

oA3 = db

 the controller will perform a 

“neutral zone” regulation. 

The heating element has to be connected to the 

oA3 relay (22-23) 

If the temperature increases and reaches set 

point plus differential (

+HY

) the 

compresso

r is 

started and then turned off when the 

temperature reaches the set point value again.  

If the temperature decreases and reaches the 

set point minus differential( 

-HY

) the oA3 output 

(

heater

) is switched on and then turned OFF 

when the temperature reaches again the set 

point.
