Parameter levels: Standard level and advanced level

The setting menu is divided into two distinct function areas, the standard level and the advanced level.
The standard level comprises parameters P00 to P09. In this area, all standard actual values can be
displayed and the basic set value for the controller can be set. Parameter P09 can trigger a manual
defrost if required.
The advanced level comprises both parameters P00 to P09 and also parameters P10 to P70. In this
area, all control, defrost, fan, compressor and probe parameters can be displayed and set.
Within a level, you can toggle between the parameters with one single operating function.

Enabling the advanced level

1. To switch to the advanced level, press the <P> key for 5 seconds.

for thermostatic This is an expanded function for use in cold room control
fan control applications. Optimum setting ensures less ice formation on
the evaporator.
Benefits:
1. Fewer defrosts.
2. Ensures that no warm air can penetrate
the cold room following a defrost.
Risks:
1. The fan may switch on too late when cooling is requested,
if the limit probe is placed in an unfavourable position.
The evaporator floods because the cooling output is not
conveyed into the atmosphere.
2. Incorrect fan set values and hysteresis can result in cyclical
or continuous fan operation. The settings depend largely on
the operating point of the cold generation unit.

4 Control
Normal operation with 1 probe
In normal control operation, F1 is used to measure the regulating actual value. F2 serves as defrosting
limit probe. If the actual value exceeds the current setpoint by half the hysterisis amount, the cooling
relay is switched on. If the regulating actual value falls below the current setpoint by half the hysterisis
amount, the cooling relay is switched off again. To reduce the switching frequency of possible
compressors, you can enter a minimum run and standstill time (Æ P38/P39).

 CRD-XP

No active temperature control

When the controller is used as a pure defrosting slave, the control can be switched to inactive. In this
operation mode, dashes represent the regulating actual value in the display. The control probe F1 is
not monitored. The defrosting synchronised by the master is terminated via the limit probe F2.
Recording of the measured temperatures and statuses in the history or in the historical storage
remains active.

Weighted control with 2 probes

Both probes F1 and F2 are used for control in the "Weighted control" operation mode. F1 measures
the supply air temperature, whereas F2 determines the return air temperature. The true regulating
actual value is calculated through a weighting of both probes. The weighting is set with 50% return air
in day operation and 60% return air in night operation. The supply air probe F1 is used as a limit probe
for defrosting. If one of the two probes malfunctions, the still-intact probe is used for control.

3-point control, heating/cooling

Tset + ½ The defrosting output is used for the heating

Hysteresis operation. The cooling operation is active when the
Heating actual value exceeds the setpoint by half the
Setpoint hysteresis amount. When the setpoint is reached,
Tset cooling is switched off again. Heating begins when
the regulating actual value falls below the setpoint
Tactual by half the hysteresis amount. It ends when the
setpoint is reached.
Tset - ½ Cooling
Hysteresis

Initiation of defrosting is possible in this operation mode as well. If defrosting is not desired, the times
must be explicitly deleted. With forced air defrosting, there is no triggering of the defrosting output
(heat register). With electrical defrosting, the heating/defrosting output becomes active. F2 serves
here as a limit probe.

Sharp frost function

Input 2 can be configured via parameter P54 to trigger the sharp frost function. The desired sharp
freezing temperature is preset via P14. After input 2 is activated, the system is cooled down to the
sharp setpoint. There it plays no role whether the input is set only briefly or remains activated. If input
2 is still active when the sharp frost temperature is reached, controlling remains at the sharp frost
temperature. After the input is opened, the system is cooled again below the sharp frost setpoint and,
immediately after this, forced defrosting is initiated. If, in contrast, input 2 is only briefly set (at least 2
s) and then reopened, the device conducts forced defrosting immediately after falling below the sharp
temperature for the first time.

5 Fan control – Cooling operation and defrosting

The parameters P28 and P31 can influence ventilator behaviour. P28 is used to set controls in normal
operation, P31 during defrosting.

Continuous operation (P28 = 0)

If parameter P31 is set to "1", the ventilator is triggered without interruption. At position "0", the
ventilator is switched off during defrosting. It is switched on again after any draining (P26) and
ventilator delay time (P32).

Timed ventilator control (P28 =1)

With this ventilator control, the ventilator output is timed with the cooling command, taking into account
the parameters P33 and P34. The ventilator starts in advance of cooling by the time set in P33 and
continues to run after cooling is switched off for the time set in P34.
If the ventilator should be switched off during defrosting, parameter P31 must be set to "0". The
ventilator starts again after defrosting and after the ventilator delay time P32.

Thermostatic ventilator control (P28 = 2)

The ventilator is only switched on when the regulating actual value falls below the temperature set in
parameter P29 minus half the hysterisis (from P30). The ventilator is switched off when the regulating
actual value lies above the temperature set in P29 plus half the hysterisis.

6 Defrosting
Display during active defrost
During a defrost, the text "dEFr" (defrost) is
shown in place of the temperature value in the

P
standard level.
The text remains in the display in cold
locations with set values of > -15°C to
20 minutes and in cold locations with set
values of < -15°C to 30 minutes following the
end of defrost and draining time.

Triggering a manual defrost

1. Select parameter P09 "Manual defrost".
2. Enable set value adjustment.
3. Press the ▲ key. Manual defrost starts.

P P P
If several cold location controllers are connected via defrost synchronisation, the defrost operation is
triggered for all.

Terminating a defrost
1. Select parameter P09 "Manual defrost".
2. Enable set value adjustment.
3. Press the ▼ key. The controller defrost operation is terminated.

P P P
If several cold location controllers are connected via defrost synchronisation, the defrost operation
must be terminated for all, before the controllers switch back to cooling mode.

Timer-controlled defrost
Time-controlled defrost is only possible on operation in the BUS system. The time is transferred from
the Gateway to the controller.
6 defrost times are available, which can be set separately (P18 – P23). For these times to be effective,
the device must be programmed as MASTER via parameter P17 ("ON").
The required defrost times are deactivated by setting to '--:--'.

Synchronised defrost
To synchronise the defrosting of several controllers, they can be connected via terminals 8 and 9. A
maximum of 4 controllers can be coupled to each other.
Each device sends a signal to the terminals for the duration of its own defrost. If the Slave controller
detects that the Master controller is defrosting, it will start a defrost under the relevant conditions.

CRD-XP_2006-04_EN Subject to technical changes Page 11 of 16

CRD-XP

To prevent other devices triggering their own time-controlled defrost, the second device should be
programmed as the SLAVE via parameter P17 ("OFF"). On the other hand, additional times are
possible through the operation as additional master.
On completion of the individual defrost operations triggered by limit probe or time, all synchronised
devices wait until all thermometers have received their synchronous signal from the bus before
starting cooling. This means that the start of cooling as well as the start of defrosting is synchronised.

Cyclical defrost
If the defrost interval should be longer than 1 day, cyclical defrosting can be activated. The cycle time
in hours is set via parameter P27. It is effective when no individual defrost times are programmed or
the controller has been configured as slave.
If the controller does not request a cyclical defrost, the cycle time P27 must be set to "0".

Suppressing defrosts
Electric, hot gas or cold gas defrosts are not triggered if:
ƒ the limit probe temperature is higher than the set limit temperature
ƒ the limit probe is +5K warmer than the regulator set value and
the regulator actual value has exceeded the over-temperature threshold.
ƒ The limit probe malfunctions

Hot gas defrosts with solenoid valve switching

Hot gas defrosting with switched-on solenoid valve is available as an additional defrost type (display:
HGon ). After defrosting starts, the cooler solenoid valve is also switched on with a 1 minute delay.
An additional external linking of the solenoid valve with hot gas generation is thus not needed.

8 Service connection
For service and commissioning purposes, a laptop can be connected
directly to the cold location controller. The required connection
sockets for the communication bus are located to the left behind the
front plate. The CAN-PC901 – converter must be used for
communication with the computer.

A “service button” is located above the connection socket.
