5.10.4  DX cooling control 
 
Direct expansion evaporator is enabled: 
Main Index > Configuration > Configuration 1 > Cooling = DX [x]Step 
Main Index > Configuration > Configuration 1 > Cooling 2 = DX [x]Step 
Main Index > Unit > Temp control > Cooling > Direct expansion 
Main Index > Unit > Temp control > Cooling 2 > Direct expansion 
Parameter  Range  Function 
Command  –  Off 
–  Stage1 
–  Stage2 
–  Stage3 
Present state of direct expansion evaporator.  
Go to page with the staged output settings. 
 
Fdbk  –  Ok 
–  Alarm 
Present value of the feedback for the direct expansion 
evaporator.  
Go to page with digital input settings. For example, you 
can set the time for jitter protection (Default: 1 s). 
Alarm  –  OK. 
–  Alarm 
Present alarm state of direct expansion evaporator. 
Go to page with digital input settings. For example, you 
can set the time for jitter protection (Default: 0 s).  
Start up delay fdbk  0...36000 [s]  Defines the period after a start without feedback before a 
feedback alarm is triggered. Jitter time is enabled exclu-
sively if the feedback is pending after this period. 
Min run time  0...36000 [s]  Define the minimum runtime after a start. 
Min off time  0...600 [s]  Minimum idle time for the direct expansion evaporator af-
ter a stop. 
Min stage time  5...600 [s]  Minimum runtime for a stage prior to stepping up to the 
next step.  
Note: This period remains active when intervening using 
the operator unit: Even for a direct jump from off to stage 
3, the output remains on each individual step for the mini-
mum runtime. 
Start stage 1  0...100 [%]  Controller refrigerator demand to start the first stage. 
Start stage 2  Start stage 1...100 [%]  Controller refrigeration demand to start the second stage. 
Start stage 3  Start stage 2...100 [%]  Controller refrigeration demand to start the third stage. 
Stage hys off  0...Start stage 1 [%]  Shutdown hysteresis of the stages. See example. 
 
Start stage 1 = 20 % 
Start stage 2 = 40 % 
Start stage 3 = 60 % 
Stage hys off = 10 % 
 
Off stage 3: 50 % 
Off stage 2: 30 % 
Off stage 1: 10 % 
 
Feedback can only be used as alarm, when Contact function = NO (Normally 
Open) and the element is set to ON.
