Introduction
This document describes the main points concerning a Com-Trol to Danfoss AK-SC255 conversion process. Since January 2011

Danfoss Inc is pleased to be the only ocial controls supplier which is recognized as the recommended replacement solution
for your Com-Trol installation.
Document scope
The scope of this document is intended to provide guidance when replacing Com-Trol 4k or 4K2e controllers for a Danfoss
AK-SC255 on a existing Com-Trol local bus network. The Danfoss AK-SC255 is a comprehensive front end controller, capable of
Refrigeration, Lighting and HVAC control and is used globally throughout the Food Retail market. Once the Danfoss AK-SC255
has been suitably installed it will provide many years of trouble free, ecient operation, in parallel with the existing Com-Trol
local bus I/O boards.
This installation guide does not replace any existing documentation provided by Com-Trol, when working with Com-Trol
equipment please refer to available Com-Trol documentation.
Prerequisite knowledge and experience
It is expected that the service technician is already experienced and has a deep knowledge of the Danfoss AK-SC255 controller.
Training is available from Danfoss upon request. In addition, knowledge about the actual site installation would be advanta-
geous as many control changes may have occurred from the original conguration.
