EMERSON EXD-SH1/2 Controller Instruction Manual

Operating instructions
EXD-SH1/2 Controller with ModBus communication
capability for electrical control valves

General information:

EXD-SH1/2 are stand-alone superheat and or temperature controllers. EXD-SH1 is intended for the operation of one bipolar electrical control valve whereas EXD-SH2 is designed for the operation of two independent bipolar electrical control valves. A table of the available application possibilities is listed below:

Notes:
It is possible to use only circuit 1 from EXD-SH2. In this case, circuit 2 must be disabled (C2 parameter) and the sensors and the valve for the second circuit are not needed.
Modbus communication is described in a Technical Bulletin and it is not covered by this document.

Electrical connection and wiring:

• Refer to the electrical wiring diagram for electrical connections.

• Note: Keep controller and sensor wiring well separated from supply power cables. Minimum recommended distance 30 mm.

• When connecting the wires of the EXV-M… (an electrical plug of valves) consider the color coding as follows:
  EXV-M…: WH: White; BK: Black; BN: Brown; BL: Blue

• The digital input DI1 (EXD-SH1/SH2) and DI2 (EXD-SH2) are the interfaces between EXD-SH1/2 and upper-level system controller if the Modbus communication has not been used. The external digital inputs must be free of potential (dry contact) and shall be operated in the function system’s compressor/demand.

Warning:

• Use a class II category transformer for a 24VAC power supply. Do not ground the 24VAC lines. We recommend using individual transformers for the EXDSH1/2 controller and for third-party controllers to avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power supply.
• If EXD-PM is connected, it is mandatory to have an individual transformer for EXD-SH… and EXD-PM.

Preparation for Startup:

• Vacuum the entire refrigeration circuit.
• Note: EX/CV valves are delivered partially open position. Do not charge the system with refrigerant before the closure of the valve.
• Apply supply voltage 24V to EXD-SH1/2 while the digital input (DI1/DI2) is open. The valve will be driven to a close position.
• After the closure of the valve, start to charge the system with refrigerant.

Setup of parameters:

(need to be checked/modified before system start-up)

• Make sure that digital input (DI1/DI2) is open. Turn on the 24V power supply to EXD-SH1/2.
• Parameters Password (H5), type of function (1Fct), refrigerant type (1u0/2u0), pressure sensor type (1uP/2uP) and valve scaling (1uF/2uF) need to be set according to system requirement and only when digital input DI1/DI2 is open. This feature is for added safety to prevent accidental damage of compressors and other system components.
• Once the main parameters have been selected and saved, the EXD-SH1/2 is ready for startup. All other parameters can be modified at any time during operation or in system standby if it is necessary.

PFA| Power failure alarm| –| Triggered| Fully close| When the controller is connected to the battery supply and the power supply is interrupted, this alarm code will be displayed while the valve is closing.| No

ACF1 or ACF2: Alarm code (circuit1/2) for “not permitted configuration/ selection” Alarm will be displayed for the following cases:

• If two circuits of the EXD-SH2 are connected to two different types of pressure transducers i.e. 4-20 mA and 0-5 V. It is mandatory that two circuits always are connected to the same type of pressure transmitter technology.
• The temperature control function is possible only with EX4-8 series valves. If other valves are used, then the ACF alarm will be displayed.
• Ratiometric pressure transmitters cannot be selected in conjunction with R744.

Notes:

• When several alarms are present, the alarms will be shown one after the other on the lower display.
• Pressure sensor error for third-party ratiometric pressure transmitters is based on the detection of interruption of two wires (5 V  and signal 0.5 – 4.5 V). If only third wire (ground) is open/ interrupted, no error can be detected and the controller will receive a false signal between 50% and 100% higher. This false signal leads to improper operation of the EXD-SH1/2 controller and can lead to system/compressor damage. EMERSON is not responsible in such cases.

Service / Troubleshooting:

(see list of parameters)
2- Make sure the sensor cables are not installed along with other high voltage cables
Operating superheat is too low i.e. compressor wet running| I – Incorrect wiring of ECVs 2- Defective sensors| I- Check the wiring 2- Check the sensor
Valve is not fully closed| I – The digital input is ON
2- Wrong setting of parameter ut.| I – Valve is shut off only when the digital input is turned off. 2- Check the setting of parameter ut.
Instable superheat (hunting)| The evaporator is designed to operate at higher superheat| Increase the superheat set-point.
Valve opens when EXD commands to close and vice versa| Wrong wiring between EXD-SH… and valve| Correct the wiring.
EX8 is not able to open at high differential pressure| Wrong setting of parameter ut| Check the parameter ut. (Larger valve requires higher torque and higher current)
Superheat set-point is shifting after several months of uninterrupted operation or permanent jumper of 24 V digital input| Stepper motor driven valves require synchronization| Do not jumper digital input permanently. Interrupt digital input once every week for 10 seconds if the compressor never stops.
