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 

XR50CX

, format 32 x 74 mm, is microprocessor based controller, suitable for applications on 

medium or low temperature refrigerating units. It has 3 relay outputs to control compressor and 
defrost, which can be either electrical or reverse cycle (hot gas) and the other one can be used as 
light, for alarm signalling or as auxiliary output. It is also provided with three NTC or PTC probe 
inputs, the first one for temperature control, the second one, to be located onto the evaporator, to 
control the defrost termination temperature, the third 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 fourth 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 

dIXEL 

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.

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 

Two defrost modes are available through the “

tdF

” parameter: defrost through electrical heater (

tdF 

= EL

) and hot gas  defrost (

tdF = in

). Other parameters are used to control the interval between 

defrost cycles (IdF), its maximum length (MdF) and two defrost modes: timed or controlled by the 
evaporator’s probe (P2P).  
At the end of defrost dripping time is started, its length is set in the FSt parameter. With FSt =0 the 
dripping time is disabled.

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 switch the instrument off, if onF = oFF.  

 Not 

enabled.

MAX & MIN TEMPERATURE MEMORIZATION 

5.1

 

HOW TO SEE THE MIN TEMPERATURE 

1. 

 

Press and release the 

n

 key. 

2. 

 

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

3. 

 

By pressing the 

n

 key again or by waiting 5s the normal display will be restored.
