Installation and Operations Manual

EcoNet® Enabled Unit Coolers

Introduction

EcoNet® Enabled Unit Coolers are intelligent, electronically operated evaporators for walk-in coolers and freezers designed for easier installation and energy savings. Developed in conjunction with Rheem Manufacturing, it builds on the success, reliability and efficiency of the EcoNet technology and brings it to commercial refrigeration.
EcoNet Enabled Unit Coolers save energy in refrigeration systems through precise superheat and space temperature control, fan cycling, and controlling how often the system goes into defrost based on compressor runtime. It eliminates unnecessary defrosts, maximizes energy efficiency with less compressor runtime, reduces liability by eliminating icing issues, reduces fan speed to 50% during off cycle to save energy, and reduces temperature fluctuations by regulating defrosts for improved product quality. EcoNet Enabled Unit Coolers can be configured to work on a single or dual evaporator coil, and can be used with a condensing unit in single and multiple evaporator installations as a group.

4. Parameter Definitions continued
k. EXV SH Setpoint: Set to configure desired superheat setpoint.
l. Setpoint Control: Set to configure desired hysteresis range for space temperature control. When the system is in Refrigeration mode, if the Space Temp Setpoint is -10°F with a default Setpoint control differential of 2.0 dF, the unit will continue to cool the space until the Space Temp. is just under -10°F. At this point, the system will pump down and run the fans at half speed. When the Space Temp rises to around -8°F, Refrigeration mode will start back up: EXV will open and the fans will run at full speed until Setpoint is reached again or the unit goes into defrost.
m. Def. Max Run Time: Set to configure the maximum allowed defrost time.
n. Defrost Type4: Select desired defrost algorithm: Timed or Adaptive. Note: this only applies if controller is set to Freezer. If controller is set to Cooler, Timed defrost will always remain as the functional setting. See Defrost Mode section on page 10 for more information.
o. Def. Cmp. Run Time: Set to configure the allowed compressor runtime before the unit goes into defrost when controller is set to Timed defrost. See Defrost Mode section on page 10 for more information.
p. Def. Adpt. Run Time4: Set to configure allowed compressor runtime before unit goes into defrost when controller is set to Adaptive defrost. See Defrost Mode section on page 10 for more information.
q. Def. Term. Temp1: Sets the Defrost Termination Temperature; the temperature that the Evaporator has to reach in order to terminate the defrost cycle. NOTE: If the Cooler/Freezer parameter is manually adjusted, the Defrost Termination Temp setting will revert back to default (55 °F for Freezer, 40 °F for Cooler); if a value other than default is desired, make sure that Cooler/ Freezer is set prior to adjusting the Defrost Termination Temperature.
r. Def. Pulse Overr1: Allows the user to override the pulsing function of Defrost Relay 1 (Top Heater on a Low Profile Evaporator). If the override of the Defrost Relay 1 pulsing is not desired, set to “No” (Relay 1 will pulse). If overriding the pulsing is desired, set to “Yes”; the Defrost Relay 1 will remain energized for the duration of the defrost cycle (Relay 1 will NOT pulse). NOTE: Def. Pulse Overr. must be set to “Yes” on Center Mount, dual coil evaporators for proper defrost performance.
s. Cmp. Min Run Time3: Adjust the minimum compressor run time for each cooling cycle. When refrigeration mode starts (EXV opens), the system will run for the minimum time that has been set. After this minimum time has elapsed, controller will pump down the system if Setpoint has been satisfied. Default setting is 5 minutes; can be adjusted to 3 minutes or 4 minutes. In a Group operation, only the Leader needs this setting adjusted; the Followers will start their refrigeration mode and pump down when commanded by the Leader.
t. Cmp. Max Run Time: Set to configure the allowed

compressor runtime until Space Temperature Alarm is generated. If unit is actively cooling the space continuously for longer than this time period, an alarm will be generated to indicate that box has not achieved Setpoint. u. Door Sw. Config.2: Configure Door Switch function as Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) to enable Digital Input #1 to be used as contact for a door switch. Default setting is Off. Please refer to Door Switch section on page 13 for more information. v. Door Sw. Time2: When Door Switch is configured, use this parameter to set desired delay to pump down the system when the door switch input (Digital Input #1) becomes inactive. Default is 0 seconds; can be configured to 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes or 5 minutes. NOTE: If Door Sw. Config. is set to Off, this parameter will not affect equipment operation. Please refer to Door Switch section on page 13 for more information. w. Def. Pmp. Dn. Delay2: Set desired delay for pump down before electric heaters become active at the start of a defrost cycle. Default is None; can be set to 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes or 5 minutes. NOTE: This parameter only affects units that are set to Freezer. See Defrost Heater Pump Down Delay section on pages 15 -16 for more information.
x. Aux Relay Config.
i. Comp-Fan Control: Controller will use Auxiliary Relay 1 for Evaporator Fan ON/OFF control, and Aux Relay 2 for Compressor ON/OFF control based on Suction Pressure transducer reading. NOTE: This setting only applies to Packaged Refrigeration Units. Packaged Refrigeration Units MUST be set to Comp-Fan Control or damage to equipment will result!!!
ii. Fan Control: Controller will use Auxiliary Relays 1 and 2 for Evaporator Fan ON/OFF control and speed control. This setting is applicable for all other evaporator unit models. Not applicable for Packaged Refrigeration Units!!!
y. Cut-Out Setpoint: Pressure setpoint at which the compressor will turn off when Aux Relay Config. Is set to Comp-Fan Control.
z. Cut-In Offset: Pressure differential for compressor to turn on when Aux Relay Config. is set to Comp-Fan Control

   Operational Overview
   Refrigeration Mode
   When powered up, the controller will go through an initial startup procedure driving the EXV closed to ensure the valve is properly seated. If the space temperature is higher than the Space Temp Setpoint, the controller will attempt to cool the space: After a couple of minutes the EXV will start opening and the controller will keep actively metering the valve to achieve its superheat Setpoint. The fans will start after a delay to ensure that the evaporator coil is cold enough.

During normal refrigeration mode, the fans will run at full speed, and the EXV will continuously modulate to maintain superheat. In order to prevent compressor short cycling, the active refrigeration mode will run for a minimum of 5 minutes (adjustable via Cmp. Min Run Time; see page 8).
When the space temperature drops below the Space Temp Setpoint, the EXV will close forcing a pumpdown, and the fans will cycle to half speed. In order to prevent compressor short cycling, this inactive mode will run for a minimum of 2 minutes.
When the space temperature rises 2 degrees above the Setpoint (can be adjusted via Setpoint Control parameter), the EXV will start metering again and then fans will cycle back to full speed.
NOTE: If there is a power loss, the controller will close the EXV to force a pumpdown. When power is restored, the controller will go through its initial startup before resuming refrigeration functions again.

Defrost Mode

Timed Defrost (default setting)
With the controller set to Timed defrost, the defrost start time will vary depending on compressor run time. The controller will automatically start defrost when the Def. Comp. Run Time has elapsed (default 360 minutes), or manually when set by the user on the display ServiceDefrost ControlStart Defrosting.
To set Defrost Type to Timed Defrost, navigate via the display to SettingsEquipmentDefrost Type, and select Timed.
To adjust the runtime until next timed defrost, navigate via the display to SettingsEquipmentDef.Cmp.Run Time and adjust the desired time.
NOTE: When the unit is actively cooling the space (EXV is metering, fans running at full speed) the controller is counting runtime towards the next defrost. When the space temperature Setpoint is satisfied (EXV closes for pumpdown, fans running at half speed) the controller does not count this as runtime towards the next defrost.

Adaptive Defrost (optional setting)
With Adaptive defrost selected, the controller continuously monitors coil operation as indicated by EXV position over time and by temperatures. When both EXV and temperature conditions degrade past a certain point for a long enough period of time, the controller will automatically start a defrost cycle. At the same time, the controller keeps track of compressor runtime, and if the EXV and temperature conditions are not met, a defrost will be started anyway after the Def. Adpt. Run Time (default 720 minutes) has expired. In other words, the controller will always start a defrost when the set runtime has expired, but it may also defrost beforehand if the EXV and temperature conditions are met. Alternatively, a defrost can be manually started by the user via the display by navigating to ServiceDefrost ControlStart Defrosting.
To set Defrost Type to Adaptive Defrost, navigate via the display to SettingsEquipmentDefrost Type, and select Adaptive.
To adjust the maximum runtime for adaptive defrost, navigate via the display to SettingsEquipmentDef.Adpt. Run Time, and

Defrost Mode continued
adjust the desired time.
NOTE: Adaptive defrost is only available when the controller is set to Freezer. If the controller is set to Cooler, Timed defrost will always remain as the functional setting.
When a defrost cycle starts, the EXV will close for pumpdown.
· If unit is set as “Freezer” the electric heaters will be energized via the defrost relays, and the fans will cycle off. Defrost will end when evaporator coil reaches termination temperature or when Max. Defrost Run Time has elapsed (whichever comes first). The unit will then begin a 5 minute drain time. After the drain time has elapsed, the unit will resume normal refrigeration operation: EXV opens immediately and fans start when Evap Temp gets below a preset temperature. If Drain Temp sensor is installed and configured, the controller will monitor the drain pan temperature and generate an alarm if the drain pan does not get warm enough during a defrost cycle.
· If unit is set as “Cooler” the fans will cycle to half speed. Defrost will end when evaporator coil reaches termination temperature or when Max. Defrost Run Time has elapsed (whichever comes first). After the defrost cycle ends, the unit will resume normal refrigeration operation: EXV opens immediately and fans start when Evap Temp gets below a preset temperature.
NOTE: If controller has software version HT-PG01-00-01-18 or later, fans will run at 100% speed during air defrost cycle.
The remaining runtime until next defrost can be viewed on the display by selecting StatusDefrostNxt. Def. Comp. Time.
The elapsed time for the last defrost can be viewed on the display by selecting StatusDefrostLast Defr. Time.
A defrost cycle can be stopped prematurely via the display if desired. At the display, select When a defrost cycle starts, the EXV will close for pumpdown.
NOTE: If there is a power loss while the unit is in the middle of a defrost cycle, the controller will keep the EXV closed. When power is restored, the controller will go through its initial startup before resuming the defrost cycle. When the defrost cycle ends, the controller will resume refrigeration functions.
Recommended Freezer Defrost Parameter Settings
a. Low Profile Evaporators: Set Defrost Termination Temperature between 55°F and 65°F; set Defrost Pulse Override to Yes or No, depending on conditions of the Freezer.
b. Center Mount Evaporators: Set Defrost Termination Temperature between 35°F and 40°F (adjust as necessary if defrost cycle is too long and steaming occurs); set Defrost Pulse override to Yes; Coil Type should be set to Dual.
c. If defrost cycle is too long, keep in mind that the Max Defrost Time can also be adjusted down to terminate defrost before steaming occurs. Default is 60 minutes.
d. If more defrost cycles are desired, the Runtime Until Defrost can be adjusted down so the unit will defrost

more often throughout the day. Default is 360 minutes (6 hours of runtime).

Test/Service Mode
If the user desires to temporarily disable the system without disconnecting power to the unit, at the controller display select SettingsSystem EnabledNo. This function forces system pump down (EXV closes) and the fans turn off. The sensor inputs (temperatures, pressure, etc.) are still functional and can be viewed on the display. To restart the system and enable cooling again, at the display select SettingsSystem Enabled Yes.

Diagnostics

The following sensors are continuously monitored and an alarm is generated in case of failure. A red LED at the controller board will light up to indicate active alarms. The active alarm automatically clears once the sensor is repaired or replaced. Currently active alarms can be viewed on the display by selecting ServiceCurrent Alarms. Any previously active alarms can be viewed in the display by selecting ServiceAlarm History.

Group Operation

The EcoNet application supports multiple evaporator controllers to be connected together and work under a Leader/Follower setup as shown below. A maximum of 6 evaporators (1 Leader plus 5 Followers) can be configured on to a single group, and a maximum of 4 groups can be connected on to the same communication bus (see Figure 9).
When multiple controllers are addressed and connected to work as a group as shown below, the Leader of each group will command its followers when to cool the space, when to pump down, and when to start a defrost. Each group will work from a calculated average space temperature to determine if the space needs cooling. When a group is in active cooling mode, each evaporator in the group will meter its own EXV based on its individual superheat calculation. The Leader will keep track of the system runtime and command the Followers in its group to start a defrost cycle as necessary. When a defrost cycle ends, the Leader will command the Followers in its group to start cooling the space simultaneously after every member of the group has finished defrosting.
Each controller to be connected on the communication bus should be powered up and addressed individually before being connected to the other controllers in the daisy chain.
When setting up a group for the first time, the following parameters only need to be set at the Leader. The Leader will broadcast these settings to any connected followers in its group.

Installation and Operations Manual

Configuring Door Switch Delay1 continued
Door Switch Sequence of Operations1
With Door Switch configured, T003 Door Open Alert will cause system to pump down and fans to turn off immediately when Digital Input is in its inactive state (open contact for N.O. or closed contact for N.C.). With Door Switch configured as N.O. or N.C. and with a configured Delay, contact has to be in its inactive state continuously for the configured Time Delay before Door Open Alert is generated, system pumps down and fans turn off. Once system pumps down and fans turn off, a 2 minute minimum off time is observed where the EXV will remain closed regardless of Door Switch Input status. After Digital Input changes back to its active state and remains there for 5 seconds, the T003 Door Open Alert will clear and system will be allowed to run again. If input changes back to its active state before the 2 minute minimum, fans will run at 50% speed. After the 2 minute minimum, cooling mode resumes (EXV opens, fans cycle to 100% speed). If Door Open Alert is generated during a defrost cycle (Air or Electric), defrost cycle continues unaffected. There is a mandatory 5 minute minimum cooling period following the defrost cycle, regardless of Door Switch input status. NOTE: The Door Open Alert does not reset the Space Temperature Alarm delay timer (set by Cmp. Max. Run Time under Settings) , nor does it clear the “A108 Cooler/ Freezer not Satisfying Setpnt. Alert” once it has been generated.

Door Switch Sequence in a Group1
Only the group Leader needs the Door Switch wired and configured.
T003 Door Open Alert is generated at Leader when input is in inactive state for the configured Delay. Follower evaporators will receive pump down command from Leader and their fans will turn off.
Minimum 2 minute off time applies to entire Group. If Digital Input at Leader changes back to its active state before the 2 minutes are up, Leader and Followers will turn their fans to 50% after the Door Open Alert is cleared. After the 2 minutes have elapsed, Group resumes cooling as soon as the Door Open Alert has cleared.
If Door Open Alert is generated during a defrost cycle (Air or Electric), defrost cycle continues unaffected for the entire Group. There is a mandatory 5 minute minimum cooling period following the defrost cycle, regardless of Door Switch input status.
Door Open Alert does not clear “A108 Cooler/Freezer not Satisfying Setpnt. Alert” or reset its timer count.
Compressor Control (Packaged Refrigeration Units)2
The EcoNet Evaporator Controller can be set to cycle the compressor ON or OFF via Aux Relay 2 by configuring the Aux Relay Config. setting to Comp-Fan Control. The controller will use the Suction Pressure transducer reading to determine if the compressor needs to run. This setting is required for Packaged Refrigeration Units.
NOTE: Controller version HT-PG01-00-01-23 or newer is required for Packaged Refrigeration Unit configuration.

Configuration settings (Navigate to SettingsEquipment on controller display to view/adjust):
1. Aux Relay Config. a. Comp-Fan Control: Controller will use Auxiliary Relay 1 for Evaporator Fan ON/OFF control, and Aux Relay 2 for Compressor ON/OFF control based on Suction Pressure transducer reading. NOTE: This setting only applies to Packaged Refrigeration
Units. Packaged Refrigeration Units MUST be set to CompFan Control or damage to equipment will result!
b. Fan Control: Controller will use Auxiliary Relays 1 and 2 for Evaporator Fan ON/OFF control and fan speed control. This setting is applicable for all other evaporator unit models. Not applicable for Packaged Refrigeration Units!

Suction Pressure (PSIG) is greater than Cut-Out Setpoint + Cut-In Offset
To prevent compressor short cycling, the controller will keep the compressor on for a minimum amount of time while the EEV is open, even if the Suction Pressure briefly gets below the Cut-Out Setpoint.
When a cooling cycle ends (setpoint is satisfied, defrost starts, etc.) the controller will close the EEV. The Suction Pressure will decrease with compressor pumping down. The compressor will turn OFF when: Suction Pressure (PSIG) is less than the Cut-Out Setpoint
When there is no call for cooling (EEV is closed), the compressor will turn off immediately whenever the Suction Pressure drops below the Cut-Out Setpoint.
Example 1 (Low Temperature Unit): Cut-Out Setpoint = 0 PSIG Cut-In Offset = 20 PSIG Compressor will turn ON when Suction Pressure is greater than 20 PSIG. Compressor will turn OFF when Suction Pressure is less than 0 PSIG.
Example 2 (Medium Temperature Unit): Cut-out Setpoint = 20 PSIG Cut-In Offset = 20 PSIG Compressor will turn ON when Suction Pressure is greater than 40 PSIG. Compressor will turn OFF when Suction Pressure is less than 20 PSIG.

2. Cut-Out Setpoint: Pressure setpoint at which the compressor will turn off when Aux Relay Config. Is set to Comp-Fan Control.

NOTE: If the unit is defrosting (air or electric), the controller will not allow the compressor to turn on. When the unit is not defrosting, the controller will allow the compressor to turn on for the next cooling cycle when the EEV opens, or for pump down if needed while the EEV is closed.

3. Cut-In Offset:Pressure differential for compressor to turn on when Aux Relay Config. is set to Comp-Fan Control.
Compressor Operation
When a cooling cycle starts, the controller will open the Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) which will cause the Suction Pressure to increase. The compressor will turn ON when:

Safety Considerations
Failure to read and follow all instructions carefully before installing or operating this control and system could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: All wiring must comply with national, local, and state codes.
WARNING: Power off your refrigeration system by using the master switch or circuit breaker box. Verify that power is not present before beginning installation.
Only a trained service professional/contractor should use or interact with the control board.
Control Mounting Location
The EcoNet Command Center is an intuitive touchscreen interface allowing complete control of individual and grouped EcoNet Enabled Unit Coolers. This advanced unit provides a single interface to conveniently manage everything from temperature to the most advanced system settings of all EcoNet Enabled coolers and freezers on the EcoNet communication bus. It should be mounted indoors outside the cooler enclosure and located where it is easily accessible and visible to the business end user. Avoid mounting in high humidity areas.
Installation Instructions
The EcoNet System consists of several intelligent, communicating components. Commands, operating conditions, and other data is passed continuously between components. All system components can be controlled through the wall mounted EcoNet Command Center providing the user with a single interface to

manage all features of the system.
The EcoNet Command Center remembers the system configurations of all connected equipment. If the EcoNet Command Center needs to be removed or replaced the refrigeration system will continue to operate normally and will keep its configuration settings.
When connecting multiple standalone evaporator units to the EcoNet network with a Command Center, use the “Network Instance” parameter (Settings EquipmentNetwork Instance) to address each of them at the board display before connecting them to the daisy chain communication bus (see page 8 for Parameters List). When connecting evaporator units that will operate as a group, use the “Group Member Cfg” parameter (SettingsEquipmentGroup Member Cfg) to address each group member at the board display before connecting them to the daisy chain communication bus (see Page 8 for Parameters list, page 15 for Group Operation). Multiple Standalone units and Group units can be combined on the same daisy chain network with the Command Center, as long as the wiring guidelines are followed (see page 17). A maximum of 32 devices can be wired on the network, with a maximum 1,000 feet wire length from first device to last device. The Command Center counts as one device and can be wired on either end of the network (see Figure 11 on page 26 for wiring diagram example). If the Command Center will be connected to Wi-Fi for Web Portal use, then a maximum of 9 devices can be wired on the network (Command Center plus 8 evaporator controllers). Please see Web Portal IOM for more information.
NOTE: Read the entire instruction manual before starting the installation.
Operating conditions for the EcoNet Command Center: 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), 95% RH, Non-Condensing.

19
Installation and Operations Manual

Wiring Considerations

The EcoNet Command Center can be powered using only18AWG shielded wire from the EcoNet control board up to 150 feet away. Wire should be free from defects such as wear, cracks or anything that would hinder the conductivity of the wire within the circuit.
NOTE: If the 16V power wires are shorted the unit cooler board will shut down and cease operation until the short is corrected.
If the Command Center wiring will be located near or in parallel with high voltage wiring, cable TV, Ethernet wiring or radio-frequency equipment, then shielded thermostat wire can be used to reduce or eliminate potential interference. The shield wire should be connected to the evaporator unit earth ground. The shield wire should not be connected to the controller PCB. The shield wire from all runs should be attached together and only grounded at one evaporator unit. The shield wire should not be connected to any terminal at the Command Center. Connecting the shield to ground at more than one location can cause current loops in the shield, reducing shield effectiveness.
For distances over 150 feet an external isolated power supply is required and will be connected to the R and C terminals of the EcoNet Command Center. An AC/ DC wall mount adapter supply with a rating of 9V or

12V and 400mA or greater is acceptable. The EcoNet communication terminals (E1 and E2) can be wired using ordinary thermostat wire.
NOTE: Wiring only requires four wires. However, it is good practice to run cable having more than four wires in the event of a damaged or broken wire during installation.
Maximum wiring length of communication bus from first device to last device is 1,000 feet.
The units should be wired in a “daisy chain” and not in a “star” configuration (see Figure 11 on page 26). To “daisy chain” the units on the network, each unit should have a set of wires coming into it and one set going out of it. The devices on the ends should have only one set of wires running to them. The order of the devices in the network is not important. The EcoNet Command Center has a six-terminal connectors labeled R, C, E1, E2, S1 and S2. The S1 and S2 terminals will never be used in this application.

If multiple evaporators will be wired to the Command Center to work as a group cooling the same space, each evaporator must be addressed individually at the controller display via the “Group Member Cfg” parameter.
The previous < and next > symbols around the unit or group selection can be used to quickly cycle through all of the units on the EcoNet bus to easily change settings.
System Enabled: Allows user to temporarily disable the system without disconnecting power to the unit. This function forces system pump down (EXV closes) and the fans turn off. The sensor inputs (temperatures, pressure, etc.) are still functional and can be viewed on the display.

b. Defrost Termination Temperature: 55°F for Freezers (electric defrost), 40°F for Coolers (air defrost).

c. Defrost Pulse Override: Yes or No for Freezers (electric defrost), depending on user preference/ box conditions; not applicable for Coolers (air defrost).

2. Center Mount Evaporators

a. Coil Type: Dual

b. Defrost Termination Temperature: 40°F for Freezers (electric defrost); 40°F for Coolers (air defrost).

c. Defrost Pulse Override: Yes for Freezers (electric defrost); not applicable for Coolers (air defrost).

EcoNet® Enabled Unit Coolers

Run Time Until Defrost: Set to configure the allowed compressor runtime before the unit goes into defrost.

Def. Pulse Overr1: Allows the user to override the pulsing function of Defrost Relay 1 (Top Heater on a Low Profile Evaporator). If the override of the Defrost Relay 1 pulsing is not desired, set to “No” (Relay 1 will pulse). If overriding the pulsing is desired, set to “Yes”; the Defrost Relay 1 will remain energized for the duration of the defrost cycle (Relay 1 will NOT pulse).
NOTE: Def. Pulse Overr. must be set to “Yes” on Center Mount, dual coil evaporators for proper defrost performance.

Defrost Max Run Time: Set to configure the maximum allowed defrost time.

EXV SH Set Point: Set to configure desired superheat setpoint.

Comp. Run Time Alert: Set to configure the allowed compressor runtime until Space Temperature Alarm is generated. If unit is actively cooling the space continuously for longer than this time period, an alarm will be generated to indicate that box has not achieved set point.

Def. Term. Temp1: Sets the Defrost Termination Temperature.
NOTE: If the Cooler/Freezer parameter is manually adjusted, the Defrost Termination Temp setting will revert back to default (55 °F for Freezer, 40 °F for Cooler); if a value other than default is desired, make sure that Cooler/Freezer is set prior to adjusting the Defrost Termination Temperature.

Set Point Hysteresis: Set to configure desired hysteresis range for space temperature control. When the system is in Refrigeration mode, if the Space Temp set point is -10°F with a default set point control differential of 2.0 dF, the unit will continue to cool the space until the Space Temp is just under -10°F. At this point, the system will pump down and run the fans at half speed. When the Space Temp rises to around -8°F, Refrigeration mode will start back up: EXV will open and the fans will run at full speed until set point is reached again or the unit goes into defrost.

1 Feature available with controller software version HT-PG01-00-01-13 or newer.

Installation and Operations Manual

Cooler/Freezer Select: Set the controller for the type of operation it will be used in. If set as “Freezer”, the controller will use the defrost relays to activate the electric heaters in the evaporator, and allow a drain time at the end of the defrost cycle. If set as “Cooler”, the unit will operate as air defrost (off-cycle).
NOTE: Parameter will be automatically selected by the EcoNet Command Center by detecting factory settings of the EcoNet Enabled Unit Cooler. For optimal performance, the factory setting should not be changed. A trained service professional/contractor may override the auto-populated default if necessary.

Drain Sensor Installed: Set to “Yes” if drain temp sensor is installed.

Aux Sensor Installed: Not used.
EXV Stepper Type: Set to configure EXV type; 2,500 steps or 480 steps. This should come preset from the factory and should not be changed.

Refrigerant Used: Set the refrigerant that will be used in the system from among the list of supported refrigerants. Default is R448A.

Evaporator Coil Type: Set for the type of evaporator being used. “Single” applies to Low Profile evaporators. “Dual” applies to dual coil designs such as the Center Mount evaporators, where Evap Temp 2 sensor is used.

NOTE: Followers in a group configuration will not be able to adjust the following settings as these are configured by the leader:
· System Enabled · Run Time Until Defrost · Comp. Run Time Alert · Set Point Hysteresis · Cooler/Freezer Select · Refrigerant Used · Defrost Pump Down Delay · Defrost Type · Run Time Adapt. Defrost · Door Switch Config. · Door Switch Alert Time · Comp. Minimum Run Time
