INTRODUCTION

Hansen PXVC controllers offer a robust, flexible line 
of controllers to meet a variety of application needs. 
Primarily, the PXVC is an intelligent single-loop PI 
controller designed for use with Hansen Motorized 
Control Valves and Pulse Expansion Valves. The PXVC 
is ordered pre-configured for the following applications:

• PXVC-PT refrigerant superheat/sub-cooling control
• PXVC-DX single point precision refrigerant superheat/  

sub-cooling control

• PXVC-T temperature control
• PXVC-L refrigerant level control 
• PXVC-P refrigerant pressure control
• PXVC-CI controller interface for connecting Hansen

pulse expansion valves to external control system.

KEY FEATURES

Highlights

Remote alarm output
Pre-configured temperature and pressure alarms 
(Other options available contact factory for information)
Intuitive button interface
Large backlit lcd

Alternate menus to visually monitor set point and sensor 

readings
Displays output signal in 10% incremental resolution

All controllers feature a two minute ramp up delay where 

the controller reaction speed is slowed down.

ADVANTAGES

1. AC or DC power rated

2. Digital, pulse or analog output
3. User friendly interface

A. Intuitive easy to navigate menu buttons

B. Easy to read multi-character display

I. Ability to monitor set point and sensor values
II. Visual alarm notification

4. Optional remote interlock

5. Plug style terminal block connectors allows for 

Quick connections

6. Versatile configuration options
