Introduction

Application

ERC 21X is a smart multipurpose refrigeration controller designed to fulll today’s requirement of commercial

refrigeration applications. This controller is suitable for high, medium and low temperature applications with

natural, electrical and hot gas defrost compatibilities.

Typical applications include Glass door merchandisers, commercial fridges and freezers, cold rooms and various

other commercial refrigeration applications.

General description

ERC 21X controller comes with four push buttons, a big display, easy and intuitive menu structure and pre-dened

applications ensure ease of use. Controller is loaded with energy eciency features like smart evaporator fan

management, night mode and defrosts on demand features.

High capacity 16 A relay enable direct connection of heavy loads without use of intermediate relay: up to 2 hp

compressors depending on its power factor and motor eciency (power factor greater than 0.65 for 230 V and

greater than 0.85 for 115 V).

Safe operation of the unit is ensured through voltage protection, zero cross switching and high condenser

temperature protection features.

ERC 21X series

Three version of ERC 21X is available in both 230 V AC, 50/60HZ and 115 V AC, 60Hz.

• ERC 211: single relay output for refrigeration and heating applications.

• ERC 213: three relays outputs for ventilated refrigeration and heating applications.

• ERC 214: four relays outputs for ventilated refrigeration and heating applications.

ERC 211

ERC 211 has one relay output and two inputs (1 analogue, 1 analogue/digital). This controller can be used for either

cooling or heating applications.

Functions

Voltage protection

The voltage protection ensures that the compressor motor is operating within safe voltage ranges. If the power

supply voltage gets outside the specied high/low voltage cut-out ranges, the compressor is cut-out or restricted

from starting. Normal compressor operation is resumed when the power supply voltage is back in the area between

the high voltage cut-out limit and the low voltage cut-in limit.

Compressor protection

Compressor protection feature protects compressor from short ON and OFF cycles by securing minimum run and

stop time. This would allow the refrigeration system to stabilize before starting the compressor again and also avoid

the chances of too many compressor cycles.

Compressor protection against high condensing temperature

If the condenser is blocking up with dirt and thereby reaches a too high condensing temperature, the controller will

give the user early warning through condenser alarm and if temperature rises further, it will switch the compressor

OFF. If the temperature measured by the condenser sensor (Sc) is reaching the set “pre-alarm limit” an alarm is

raised, but no further action is taken. This is used to indicate to the user that something is wrong with the

condenser. Often the reason is that that the air ow to the condenser is restricted (dirt) or because the condenser

fan is broken.

The alarm will reset if the condenser temperature drops back by 5 °C. If the measured condenser temperature

continues to increase and reaches the set “Block limit” the compressor is stopped, and it is restricted from starting

again until the alarm is reset manually. The alarm can be reset manually by setting the parameter r12 Main switch to

OFF position and back to ON position or by powering the controller down.

Reference displacement

This feature enable user to toggle between two dierent set-points quickly by activating a switch on digital input.

This provides facility to switch between two storage temperatures without getting in to the menu. For example

meat requires dierent set points than vegetables. The reference displacement signal changes the normal

thermostat set-point and the alarm limits by a predened oset value.

Night mode

Night mode helps to reduce cooling load and thereby power consumption during non-business hours i.e., Night

time. The thermostat set point will be oset by a xed value during night mode keeping alarm limits same.

Fan cycling during compressor OFF cycle

During compressor OFF cycle controller will run the fan with dened duty cycle to maintain uniform temperature

and delay the need of compressor switching ON.

Defrost on Demand

This feature records the evaporator temperature when it is clean and constantly monitors the compares that at

every compressor cut outs. If the evaporator temperature goes below the recorded temperature by the value set in

parameter d30 before the congured defrost interval, it will trigger defrost immediately.

• This function can only be used in 1:1 systems.

• This function is disabled when the parameter “d30” is set to 20.

• Defrost on demand is triggered only if the time since the last defrost session has ended is greater than ¼ of the

defrost interval or 2 hours whichever is lesser.

• Defrost doesn’t start by this method during the following scenarios.

◦Pull down mode

◦Night mode

◦Main switch in DI or main switch in Menu is in OFF position

◦Manual control mode

◦Evaporator temperature greater than 0 °C.
