6.2 Superheat Control Mode
In this section some important parameters for SH control mode and other sub modes are described.
For basic superheat control, one temperature sensor S2, and one pressure sensor Pe are needed. The actual
superheat is calculated based on these two sensor readings, and the controller will adjust the OD of the valve to
bring the superheat to the desired reference. If superheat is too low the ow in the expansion is decreased and
superheat will be higher and vice versa. For advanced SH control the use of additional temperature and pressure
sensors are needed.

• The software main switch is used to start / or stop refrigerating
• The hardware main switch (DI) can be used also.
• If the main switch is on changes are not allowed.
