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. 

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.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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

Model XR20C, format 32 x 74 mm,  is a digital thermostat with off cycle defrost designed for 
refrigeration applications at normal temperature. It provides a relay output to drive the 
compressor.  It is also provided with 2 NTC or PTC probe inputs, the first one for temperature 
control, the second one, optional, to connect to the HOT KEY terminals to signal the 
condenser temperature alarm or to display a temperature. The digital input can operate as 
third temperature probe. 
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 

  

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.

CONTROLLING LOADS 

3.1

 

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. 

Time

Temper.

Compr.

SET

ON

 

In case of fault in the thermostat probe the start and stop of the compressor are timed through 
parameters “COn” and “COF”. 

3.2

 

DEFROST  

Defrost is performed through a simple stop of the compressor. Parameter “IdF” controls the 
interval between defrost cycles, while its length is controlled by parameter “MdF”.

FRONT PANEL COMMANDS 

 

 

: To display target set point; in programming mode it  selects a parameter  or confirm 

an operation. 

 (DEF) 

To start a manual defrost 

 

  (UP): To see the max. stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the 

parameter codes or increases the displayed value. 

  (DOWN) To see the min stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the 

parameter codes or decreases the displayed value. 

 

To activate / deactivate the  energy saving cycle.

HOW TO SEE THE MIN TEMPERATURE 

1. 

 

Press and release the 

8

 key. 

2. 

 

The “Lo” message will be displayed followed by the minimum temperature recorded. 

3. 

 

By pressing the
