The access level can be set separately for each

parameter using KoolProg Software Tool.

There are three levels of access 1, 2, 3:

- level 1 is for shop access;

- level 2 for technicians;

- level 3 for OEMs.

The access levels cannot be set using the buttons.

Passwords for the diﬀerent levels can however be

altered for the level of access you have,

e.g. a level 2 user can change the password for

level 1 and level 2 but not level 3.

Display

Buttons

The ERC 112D VSC is an electronic refrigeration

controller with an LED display especially

developed for bottle coolers and commercial

fridges and freezers where a Variable speed

compressor is installed. It is particularly suited

for OEM customers where time, easy and reliable

installation and high quality need to go hand in

hand with ﬂexibility.

The upper left button is "Defrost".

The lower left button is "Super chill".

Clips Are used to secure the controller in place in the

case of rear mounting. They are not used with

front mounting.

There are two identical clips, one placed on

either side of the controller.

Front frame The front frame provides a proper ﬁnish but can

also be used to secure the controller in place

when using front mounting. In this case, clamps

are not required. Contact Danfoss for details.

Control temperature sensor

There are diﬀerent lengths.

Defrost temperature sensor

Should be mounted on the evaporator.

Condenser temperature sensor

Should be mounted on the condenser.

Light sensor

Is optional and is used to measure the level of

ambient light around the cabinet so that night

and day "Economy", "Normal" modes of operation

can automatically be set, as well as the brightness

of the display.

Frequency Signal

Connected to variable speed compressor drive

frequency input port.

Motion sensor

Should be mounted on the cabinet front.

Door sensor connector cable

Is optional and is a connector and cable with

spade terminals compatible with door contacts

used in refrigeration applications.

Quick programming

KoolProg

Software from Danfoss for programming the

ERC-controller via a PC rather than with the front

panel buttons.

https://www.danfoss.com/en/service-and-

support/downloads/dcs/koolprog/

Software for PC

USB gateway

USB programming key

Docking station

USB gateway

The USB Gateway is a laboratory tool, oﬀering

fast and easy programming of any ERC

controller connected directly to the PC.

"KoolProg Software" installation kit is provided

for the PC. The gateway is standard inventory

for OEM labs.

Programming an individual unit in a

laboratory

The USB key requires "KoolProg Software"

running on a PC. It enables parameters to be set

in real time and an array of status information to

be read (bidirectional connection).

Once the desired settings have been

determined, a speciﬁc parameter ﬁle is saved to

the USB key for later mass programming through

the docking station.

Mass programming on an assembly line:

The docking station is used for high volume

programming of ERC controllers, for example on

an assembly line. The docking station is a

write-only device.

The USB key, is to be inserted into the docking

station. The settings are then loaded into each

successive controller in a matter of seconds.

"KoolProg Software" is not required for mass

programming.
