Conguration
DI input conguration
The digital inputs DI1 and DI2 can be congured for multiple functions and the table below shows the options and
the polarity of the digital input signals.
Table 7: DI input conguration
Only a status of the digital input.
When door is opened, cooling and fan is stopped but they will
resume when the door alarm delay expires.
Closed = Door is closed
Open = Door is open
When door is opened, cooling and fan is stopped and they will
not resume operation when the door alarm delay expires.
Closed = Door is closed
Open = Door is open
Used for starting and stopping control.
Closed = Normal control
Open = Stop control
Used to put controller into night mode.
Closed = Night mode
Open = Day mode
Used to add a reference oset to the thermostat setpoint.
Closed= Reference is oset
Open = No oset
Used to generate alarm from an external signal.
Closed = No alarm
Open = Alarm
Used to initiate a defrost cycle (toggle switch).
From open to closed:
Defrost cycle is started
Used to initiate a temperature pull down cycle (toggle switch).
From open to closed:
Pulldown cycle is started
A Sc condenser sensor is used to monitor the condensing tem-
perature.
Alarm codes
In an alarm situation the display will alternate between readout of the actual air temperature and readout of the
alarm codes of active alarms. There are two kinds of alarms - it can either be an alarm occurring during the daily
operation, or there may be a defect in the installation. A-alarms will not become visible until the set time delay has
expired. E-alarms, on the other hand, will become visible the moment the error occurs.
Here are the messages that may appear:
Table 8: Alarm codes
Air temperature sensor is defect or electrical connection is lost
S5 Evaporator sensor is defect or electrical connection is lost
Sc Condenser sensor is defect or electrical connection is lost
Air temperature in cabinet is too high
Air temperature in cabinet is too low
Supply voltage is too high (compressor protection)
Supply voltage is too low (compressor protection)
Condenser temp. too high - check air
ow
Condenser temp. too high - manual reset of alarm required
(1)
Door has been open for too long
External alarm from DI input
Control has been stopped by "r12 Main switch"
(1)
The condenser block alarm can be reset by setting r12 Main switch OFF and ON again or by powering down the controller.

Control status
The controller has a special control status parameter which tells what the controller is doing. This parameter can be
readout in the display as parameter “u00 Control state” and this can provide valuable information to a service
technician to understand what the controller is doing.
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224
