are not high enough to require a defrost.
The optical demand defrost sensor may be either an 
analog or digital type sensor. When this sensor detects no 
major build-up of frost, the Case Circuit application 
ignores all scheduled calls for defrost and continues in 
refrigeration mode. When the sensor detects frost, the 
defrost inhibit is canceled, and the case circuit will enter 
defrost at the next scheduled time.
A demand defrost inhibit only keeps scheduled 
defrosts from occurring. Any manual calls for a defrost 
cycle will occur as normal. CCB demand defrost is cur-
rently not supported in Site Supervisor. Demand sensors, if 
present on the circuit, will be ignored. 
Demand Fail-Safe Time
To protect against demand defrost sensors that may not 
be working properly, a demand fail-safe time may be set 
up. Demand fail-safe times limit the amount of time a 
defrost inhibit may last. If a demand defrost sensor does 
not detect frost for an amount of time equal to the Demand 
Fail-Safe Time, the defrost inhibit is lifted and the circuit 
will enter defrost at the next scheduled time.
5.27.4.5 Emergency Defrost
When necessary, a user can initiate an emergency 
defrost cycle from a circuit. Emergency defrost cycles are 
similar to normal defrost cycles, except an emergency 
defrost cycle will ignore all calls for termination and 
remain in defrost for the entire programmed defrost time. 
• Emergency defrosts are initiated by the user.
• The WAIT State
When a Case Control Circuit application enters defrost 
mode, it sends a message out to all case controllers in the 
circuit to begin defrost at the same time. However, since 
each case in a circuit will have its own termination sen-
sors, it is possible for some cases to terminate defrost 
while defrosts in other cases continue.
When a case controller terminates defrost, it enters a 
state of operation called “the WAIT state.” While in the 
WAIT state, all refrigeration and defrost heat will remain 
OFF. When the Case Control Circuit application detects 
that all case controllers have entered the WAIT state, the 
application will consider the defrost cycle completed, and 
refrigeration will restart.
5.28 Irrigation Control
Irrigation control is an application used for the con-
trolling of sprinkler systems. This application controls 
watering by duration of time or water usage parameters. 
Days of the week and times for watering are set by the 
user with a maximum of two Irrigation applications 
allowed in the CX controller.
The master water valve is turned ON and OFF as water 
is needed for a zone. When disabled, no application con-
trol of any outputs will be possible and the System Status 
output will indicate Disabled.
Under normal control only one zone will be active at a 
time.
How To Add a Irrigation Control Device on the Site 
Supervisor:
1. From Home screen, navigate to Main Menu> 
Summaries and Floor Plans> Site Summaries> 
Other, click the screen drop-down arrow on the 
upper right of the screen, click Add Controls.
2.  Select the Control or Application Type - 
Irrigation Control, enter the Quantity, Control 
Name and Serial Type. Note that Serial Type 
information can be enter later. Click Save to add 
the application.
3. A Confirmation box will appear saying that the 
application is successfully added to the system, 
click Close or Edit these controls.
4. The system will display the new application(s) on 
the Site Summary screen.
5. Click the Irrigation Control application panel box 
to view the application.
6. The system will display the Irrigation Control 
application parameters.
7. The user can view and configure the properties of 
the application by setting the Edit Mode to ON 
on the screen drop-down arrow on the upper right 
of the screen.
 
5.29 TD Control
5.29.1 Overview
The TD Control application controls fans sequentially 
based on the temperature differential (TD) of the con-
denser. When an increase is called for, the next fan will 
turn on when the time since the last fan state change is
