MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS:

Ensure the controller has adequate protective enclosure 
for the environment, enclosure required for wet or 
condensation prone environments. Ensure the controller 
has adequate heating if the environment is below 32°F 
(0°C).  Controller may be surface mounted with two #4 
screws or controller may be mounted to a DIN rail

SYSTEM STARTUP:

1.  During operation the power button is not available 

to be used to stop the system, so before starting the 
controller connect a remote interlock and close the 
circuit to disable the controller.

2.  Power on the controller and verify the screen is 

flashing to indicate the controller is not active.  If the 

interlock is not active, try operating the switch, if this 

does not work power down the system and check the 
controller jumpers, switch and wiring, contact Hansen 
for further support.

3.  Once interlock is disabled, verify the screen indicator 

displays an underscore under the number “1,” as shown 

in the user menus section.  Screen #1, the default 
screen, displays the measured value and the set point.  

Screen two is available on all of the controllers, however 
only the PXVC-PT offers additional information in the 
form of temperature and pressure readings.

4.  Pressing the up or down arrows will increase or 

decrease the set point  

5.  Pressing the left arrow will either escape (go back) 

from a menu or if at the main menu  show the second 
screen on PXVC-PT models. On other models Hansen 
recommends only utilizing screen 1.

6.  Set the controller to the desired set point, and wait 

for the controller to approach the desired set point 
(%, degrees, PSI).

7.  Operating conditions should be monitored closely 

during startup, and the interlock may be used if 
necessary to stop the controller

8.  The remote interlock should be connected to the 

control system and used to disable the controller for 
any applicable conditions, including but not limited 
to: Defrost cycles, System Shutdown, etc.

USER MENUS

CHANGING PARAMETERS:

1.  Press UP/DOWN buttons simultaneously for three 

seconds. The display will show firmware version and 
hardware revision number. Press the OPTION button 
to start login.

2.  CODE is shown in small digits display.
3.  Select the relevant Parameter Access Code using UP/

DOWN (refer to controller subsections with parameter 
listings)

4.  Press OPTION button after selecting the correct code.

5.  Select the parameter required with the UP/DOWN  

buttons. Change a parameter value by pressing the 

OPTION button. Three arrows are displayed to indicate 

that the parameter may be modified. Use UP/DOWN 
buttons to adjust the value.

6.  Upon completion press the OPTION button to save  the 

new value and return to menu selections (three arrows 
should disappear), pressing the POWER button will 
discard changes without saving, press the esc button 
to return to the next highest level menu

7.   The POWER button may be used to exit the menu 

as well, otherwise the unit will return to the default 
screen when no button has been pressed for longer 
than 5 minutes.

8.  It is recommended that only personnel experienced 

in control loops adjust control settings.

 There are 

sets of control parameters (P and I values) for direct 
acting and reverse acting controllers, if adjusting 
the control parameters ensure you select the correct 
parameter

PXVC UNIVERSAL CONTROLER

a.  PXVC-(PT,DX,T) are direct acting controllers  

meaning the output is directly related to the input 
(temperature increases and valve opens)

b.  PXVC-(P,L) are reverse acting controllers meaning 

the output is inversely related to the input (level 
or pressure drops and valve opens)
