7. Normal Operation

The operation of the controller can be checked using the Sporlan Tech Check app. First connect to the 
controller. For more details on how to connect to the controller, see the Setup Section. Once connected, the 
screen will show several process values as described in the table below. These values describe the current 
operation of the controller.

Process Value

Description

State

The current state of the controller.

SH

This is the current value of superheat being read by the controller.

SP

This is the current suction pressure being read by the controller.

SST

This is the current saturated suction temperature being calculated by the controller.

COT

This is the current coil outlet temperature being read by the controller.

EEV

This is the current valve position of the valve if it is a stepper valve. If it is a pulse valve, this indicates the current pulse duty cycle.

DEV

This indicates the current device temperature being measured by the controller. This is the temperature of the controller itself.

8. Overrides

The Tech Check app will allow you the ability to override 
some values of the controller for troubleshooting 
purposes. These overrides will remain active for 10 
minutes before being relinquished and allowing the 
controller to control these values again. The values 
that can be overridden are the EEV Percent Open (This 
is duty cycle for a pulse valve), and the superheat.

9. Firmware Update

Firmware updates may be available from time to time 
to provide new features and improvements to the 
controller. Those firmware updates may be applied 
to the controller using the Tech Check app. First, 
connect to the controller using a mobile device. For 
more details on how to connect to the controller, 
refer to the Setup Section. After connecting, touch 

the icon on the upper left to access more options, 
and select firmware update. The update may take 
up to 5 minutes. The mobile device must not leave 
the proximity of the controller during this time for the 
update to complete successfully.

10.Data Logs/Graphing

The controller can store historical data, every 
20 seconds for 30 days, in order to help with 
troubleshooting. This historical data is saved in the 
memory of the controller and can be retrieved and 
graphed using the Sporlan Tech Check app. In order 
to view graphs of historical data, simply connect to 
the controller and touch the numerical value on the 
row of the process value you wish to graph. It is also 
possible to request a CSV file of the logs and share 
through e-mail, text, etc.
