1.  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. 

 

Dixell Srl reserves the right to change the composition of its products, even 
without notice, ensuring the same and unchanged functionality. 

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.r.l.” (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. 

2.  BEFORE PROCEEDING 

2.1  CHECK THE SW REL. OF THE XM678D 

1. 

Look at the SW rel. of XM678D printed on the label of the controller. 

 

2. 

If  the SW release is 2.8, proceed with this manual otherwise contact Dixell 
to get the right manual. 

3.  GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

XM678D

 is a microprocessor based controller for multiplexed cabinets suitable for 

applications on medium or low temperature. It can be inserted in a proprietary LAN with 
up to 8 different sections which can operate, depending on the programming, as stand 
alone  controllers  or  following  the  commands  coming  from  the  other  sections.  The 

XM678D

 is provided with 6 relay outputs to control the solenoid valve, defrost - which 

can be either electrical or hot gas - the evaporator fans, the lights, an auxiliary output 
and an alarm output and with the 

stepper valve driver

. The device is also equipped 

with six probe inputs: for temperature control, for control the defrost end temperature, 
for display and the fourth can be used for application with virtual probe or for inlet/outlet 
air temperature measurement. Moreover, fifth and sixth probe are used to evaluate and 
control  the  superheat.  Finally,  the 

XM678D

  is  equipped  with  the  three  digital  inputs 

(free contact) fully configurable by parameters. 
The device is equipped with the 

HOT-KEY

 connector that permits to be programmed 

in a simple way. The optional direct serial output 

RS485

 (ModBUS compatible)

 

permits 

a simple XWEB interfacing. 

RTC

 is available as options. The 

HOT-KEY

 connector can 

be used to connect 

X-REP

 display (Depending on the model). 

4.  QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE: HOW TO RUN THE SELF 
ADAPTIVE REGULATION IN 5 STEPS. 

1. 

After wiring the XM678D, configure the type of valve, bipolar or unipolar, via 
tEu (Default tEu = bP: bipolar) and 
tEP (Default tEP =0) parameters or through the manual settings. See par. 6.3 for 
details. 
NOTE: for Alco EX4, EX5, EX6  tEP = 11 
For EX3: tEP = 12 
 

2. 

Set the proper gas via Fty parameter, among the following

3. 

Configure the probes:  

Regulation and evaporator probe  are preset as NTC.  If another kind of 
sensors is used, set it via P1c and P2c parameters.  

Superheat evaporator outlet probe is pre-set as Pt1000, if another kind 
of sensor is used, set it via P6c parameter.  

The PP11 (-0.5÷11bar) is pre-set as pressure probe. It operates at relative 
pressure (Pru = rE). 
If you’re using a ratiometric transducer, set P5c = 0-5, then use parameters 
PA4 and P20 to set the range 
NOTE: check the pressure gauge reading with the value of dPP, press the 
UP arrow once to enter the Fast Access Menu. If ok, proceed; otherwise 
solve the situation before proceeding acting on par. Pru, PA4 and P20. 

 
4. 

Set the parameters for self adaptive regulation of superheat 
NOTE:  
the  parameters  Pb  (regulation  band)  and  Int  (integral  time)  are 
automatically calculated by the controller 
 

Set  CrE  =  no,  this  disable  the  continuos  regulation  of  the  temperature. 
Default is CrE = no. 

Set  SSH,  superheating  setpoint:  a  value  between  4  and  8    is 
acceptable.Default is SSH=8- 

Set AMS = y to start the self adaptive regulation. Default is AMS = y 

Set ATU = y to start the search of the lowest stable superheat. Default is 
ATU  =  y.  This  function  reduces  automatically  the  setpoint  in  order  to 
optimize  the  use  of  the  evaporator,  keeping,  at  the  same  time,  the 
superheating  regulation  stable.  The  minimum  allowed  SH  set  point  is 
LSH+2°C. 

Set  LSH,  low  superheating  limit:  a  value  between  2-4  is  acceptable. 
Default is LSH = 3 

Set SUb, pressure filter: Default is SUb = 10. The value can be increased 
up to 20 in case of too fast response of the pressure variations. 

 
5. 

Set the parameters for the temperature regulation 

Set the temperature setpoint. Default is -5°C 

Set the differential HY: Default is 2°C.  

If the capacity of the valve is higher than requested, it can be reduced by 
the par. MNF  (Default is 100). A proper setting of MnF will reduce the time 
that the algorithm takes to reach the stability. 
MNF value doesn’t affect the band witdh 

5.  INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING 

This device can operate without any user interface, but normal application is with Dixell 
CX660 keyboard. 

 

 

 

Figure 1a 

 

 

 

Figure 1b 

 

The 

CX660  keyboard 

shall 

be mounted on vertical panel, 
in a 29x71 mm hole, and fixed 
using  the  special  bracket 
supplied  as  shown  in  fig. 
1a/1b. The temperature range 
allowed  for  correct  operation 
is  0  to  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.
