1. INTRODUCTION
The ERC 102 is an electronic refrigeration controller with an LED display especially developed for bottle
coolers and commercial fridges and freezers. 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 latest generation CPU, plenty of memory and high-end electronic components allow for a uniquely
versatile software. Three separate password-protected user levels can be used to control more than 200
different parameters to fit all individual requirements.
ERC 102’s IP rated body, advanced materials and internationally approved hardware design open it up for use
in almost any climate globally, indoors as well as outdoors.
Laboratory work with ERC 102 is rendered easy and flexible. Danfoss KoolProg software with a USB-powered
gateway accelerate programming; on the OEM assembly line, just one Danfoss unique Docking station can
easily program up to 3,000 controllers a day – at zero inventory cost.
It uses a globally-compatible, lightweight, switch mode power supply.
All components have been carefully selected to help reduce the CO
2
footprint. The globally-compatible
internal power supply uses an average of just 0.7W – 4 times less than an average controller today.
Sensors include ambient light for display brightness, which also detect shop opening hours for
energy-saving routines. Door and temperature sensors provide input for controlling the compressor,
the light, the fan and automatic defrosting.
