Figure 17: Electrical defrost sequence
During an electrical defrost sequence where the defrost heater is ON during defrost, AKV valve is closed and fans are
running during defrost but stopped during drip.
Fan control during defrost
During the defrost sequence, the evaporator fans can be controlled in one of the following ways:
The fan is OFF in the entire defrost sequence
The fan is ON during the entire defrost sequence except during fan delay state
The fan is ON during defrost state and is OFF in the rest of the defrost sequence
Like option 2, however the fans can be stopped if the selected defrost stop sensor exceeds a set fan stop limit
Real-time clock
The controller has a built-in real-time clock which can be used to start defrosts. This clock has a power reserve of
four days.
If the controller is equipped with data communication, the clock will automatically be updated from a Danfoss
system manager.
Coordinated defrost
There are two ways in which coordinated defrost can be arranged.

Either with wire connections between the controllers or via data communication:
Wire connections
The digital input DI2 must be configured for coordinated defrost and wiring must be connected between the
relevant controllers. When one controller starts a defrost, all the other controllers will follow suit and likewise start a
defrost. After the defrost, the individual controllers will move into waiting position. When all are in waiting position
there will be a change-over to refrigeration.
