The signal from one pressure transmitter can be received by up to 10 controllers.
There must not be a significant pressure drop from the pressure transmitter’s position in the suction line to the individual evaporators.

Coordinated defrost via cable connections

The following controllers can be connected in this way:
EKC 204A, AK-CC 210, AK-CC 250, AK-CC 450, AK-CC 550 and AK-CC55.

Refrigeration is resumed at the same time when all controllers have terminated defrost.

External display AK-UI55

Electric noise
Cables for sensors, low voltage DI inputs and data communication must be kept separate from other electric cables:

  • Use separate cable trays
  • Keep a distance between cables of at least 10 cm
  • Long cables at the low voltage DI input should be avoided

Installation considerations

  • Accidental damage, poor installation, or site conditions, can give rise to malfunctions of the control system, and ultimately lead to a plant breakdown.
  • Every possible safeguard is incorporated into our products to prevent this. However, a wrong installation could still present problems. Electronic controls are no substitute for normal, good engineering practice.
  • Danfoss will not be responsible for any goods, or plant components, damaged as a result of the above defects. It is the installer’s responsibility to check the installation thoroughly, and to t thenecessary safety devices.
  • Special reference is made to the necessity of signals to the controller when the compressor is stopped and to the need of liquid receivers before the compressors.
  • Your local Danfoss agent will be pleased to assist with further advice, etc..

Fault message

Fault message

In an error situation the alarm LED on the front will be on and the alarm relay will be activated (depending on priority). If you push the alarm button for 3 seconds you can see the alarm report in the display.

(Alarm priorities can be changed. See the User Guide.) Here are the messages that may appear:
