Product description

The ST200 cooling zone controller is used for thermostatic temperature control. The controller can be supplied with 100..240 V AC 50/60 Hz and has five output relays that can be freely programmed for controlling a compressor, evaporator fan, lighting or other necessary outputs. It is operated either directly on the box or via a separate, connectable display. The controller has a three-digit display and three control buttons. Parameterisation is handled in different operating levels in which access becomes increasingly difficult for security reasons. The controller is networked by means of an ST bus or Modbus interface respectively.

  • Sensors: Pt100, Pt1000, PTC
  • Connector: WAGO connector + spring loaded terminals

CONTROL BUTTONS

Button 1: UP

Pressing this button increases the parameter or parameter value. Pressing the button for 10 seconds triggers an unscheduled defrosting of the refrigeration system.

Button 2: DOWN

Pressing this button decreases the parameter or parameter value.

Button 3: SET

Pressing the SET button displays the set-point value. Pressing the button for 10 seconds switches the controller to stand by mode. The refrigeration controller is generally operated with the buttons UP and DOWN and SET. The default display shows the temperature of the cooling chamber (actual temperature value. When the SET button is pressed, the display changes to the cooling chamber temperature desired by the user (set-point temperature value. It is only possible to change the set-point temperature value by simultaneously pressing the SET and UP or alternatively SET
und DOWN buttons. While pressing the buttons, you can read the changed set- point value in the display. After changing the set-point temperature value and releasing the buttons, the actual temperature value appears in the display again. This is the standard value setting method.

SETTING THE MAIN SET POINT VALUE

Pressing the SET button will show the set-point value in the display. If the set point value needs to be changed, the SET button must remain pressed for the duration of the setting, while the UP or DOWN buttons are used to set the desired value. After selecting the setting, the UP or DOWN button must always be released first and then the SET button. You will notice that the set-point value can only be changed within the set-point value limits that have been set.

PARAMETERISATION

Parameterisation of the cooling zone controller is carried out at the factory or by specialists when a cooling system is put into operation. Incorrect or improper parameterisation can lead to malfunctions and thus to damage to the refrigerated product. The parameters can only be set by means of one or more passwords. Parameterisation can be carried out at any time. The regulation is not interrupted by the parameterisation, but it can directly affect it. If no button is pressed for 2 minutes, then the process is aborted and the actual value is shown again. Parameterisation can be accessed by simultaneously pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. After approximately 3 seconds, the code word appears in the display. By pressing the UP or DOWN button respectively, you can change between the code words. All other settings or default values in the parameterisation level are carried out using the general method for setting values, in other words by simultaneously pressing the SET and UP or DOWN buttons. You can use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll within the parameter group or to change individual parameter values using the standard value setting method. By pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously, it is possible to exit a parameter group and return to the list of parameter groups. It is possible to exit from the list of parameter groups into the default level by simultaneously pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. A special case is blocking a specific parameter group with a password. In this case  just as when entering the parameterisation level – you are first of all expected to input a specific password for the parameter group.

ALARMS

After selecting a parameter group, it is normally sufficient to press the SET button  appears in the display) and then release the button. After this, the first parameter of the parameter group appears for example in parameter group A, the parameter A0. You can use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll within the parameter group or to change individual parameter values using the standard value setting method. By pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously, it is possible to exit a parameter group and return to the list of parameter groups. It is possible to exit from the list of parameter groups to the default level by simultaneously pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. A special case is blocking a specific parameter group with a password. In this case – just as when entering the parameterisation level – you are first of all expected to input a specific password for the parameter group.
