Characteristics briefly
Some Standard Functions Intelligent defrost control, able to learn (x140 only)
• LC-Display, dot-matrix, plain text
• Operation by 4 keys on the front • Works with the 2 standard temperature sensors only:
• Temperature control for up to 4 circuits Room sensor, evaporator sensor
• 2nd setpoint (day / night shift) • Autoadaptive Defrost Demand Recognition,
• Alarm thermostat suitable both for single compressor applications
with monitoring of each evaporator and for compound systems.
• Compressor Idle-Time
• Fan control with delay times for start and stop • Defrost Start:
• Runtime monitoring of refrigeration fully automatic, 6 release times or manually
• Roller blind control • Defrost cycle is pulsed, controlled by evap sensor
• Frame heater control, pulsed, different for day and night (variable intervals)
• Analog output usable for actual value image or for P, PI, • Automatic recognition of the leading evaporator
PID-T1-control with service functions at cold storages with several evaporators
• Adjustable Emergency Mode • Emergency Mode if sensor or defrost recognition fails.
• Door contact input Autoreset if malfunction is repaired.
Use of Latency Heat
• Fan following (less compressor starts)
• Intelligent fan control before defrost
• Special mode if room temperature is above 2,5°C
The evaporator will be defrosted by airflow during the
Please note Safety refrigeration periods (less defrosts necessary).

After start-up, you protect the controller unit effectively by changing

up current of the controlled devices (valve, fan,
compressor, heater..)
• Sensor cables may be up to some hundred meters in
length. Use shielded sensor cable only. Don’t install them
in parallel with high-current cables to prevent inductive
interference. A cross section of min. 0,5mm² is sufficient.

• All used temperature sensors must be identical. Never
use PTC (TF 201) and PT1000 (TF 501) mixed. This will

• TF-type sensors are moisture-proof but they are not
designed for being immersed in water for a long period of
time (not pressure-proof). In such a case, always use dip-
fittings.
• Be care that the wiring of interface lines meets the
requirements
