1. 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.r.l.” (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.

2. GENERAL 

DESCRIPTION

Model  XR20C, format 32 x 74 mm,  is a digital termostat with off cycle defrost
designed for refrigeration applications at normal temperature. It provides a relay
output to drive the compressor  and a PTC or NTC probe input. A internal timer
manages the off cycle defrost. The instrument is fully configurable through special
parameters that can be easily programmed through the keyboard.

3. 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.

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”.

4.  FRONT PANEL COMMANDS

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

confirm an operation.

(DEF) To start a manual defrost

5.  TEMPERATURE ALARM AND ITS DURATION
RECORDING (HACCP)

XR20C signals and records temperature alarms, together with their duration and
max value reached. See drawing:

5.1  HOW TO SEE THE ALARM DURATION AND MAX (MIN)
TEMPERATURE

If the alarm LED is on, an alarm has taken place.
To see the kind of alarm, the max (min) reached temperature and alarm duration do
as follows:
1. 

Push the Up or Down key.

2. 

On the display the following message is shown::

HAL” for high temperature alarm (“LAL” fot the minimum allarm), followed by
the Maximum (minimum) temperature.
Then the “tiM” (tiMe) message is displayed, followed by the “Duration”  in
h.mm.

3. 

Then the instrument displays the temperature once again.

NOTE1: if an alarm is still occurring the “tim” shows the partial duration.
NOTE2: the alarm is recorded when the temperature come back to normal values

5.2  HOW TO RESET A RECORDED ALARM OR ONE THAT IS
STILL OCCURRING

1.  Hold the SET key pressed for more than 3s, while the recorded alarm is

displayed. (the rSt message will be displayed)

2.  To confirm the operation, the “rSt” message starts blinking and the normal

temperature will be displayed.

6. MAIN 

FUNCTIONS

6.1  HOW TO SEE THE SETPOINT

1.  Push and immediately release the SET key: the display will

show the Set point value;

2.  Push and immediately release the SET key or wait for 5 seconds to display the

probe value again.

6.2  HOW TO CHANGE THE SETPOINT

1. Push 

the 

SET key for more than 2 seconds to change the Set point value;

2. 

The value of the set point will be displayed and the 

LED starts blinking;

3. 

To change the Set value push the 

'

'

or

&

&

 arrows within 10s.

4. 

To memorise the new set point value push the SET key again or wait 10s.

6.3  HOW TO START A MANUAL DEFROST

Push the DEF  key for more than 2 seconds and a manual
defrost will start.
