4. Installation and Setup

The XR70CX-4N0F3 is designed for wall mounting. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid locations with excessive vibration or direct heat sources.

4.1 Wiring Connections:

All connections are made via screw-terminal blocks, suitable for wires up to 2.5mm². Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your unit for specific terminal assignments. Ensure all connections are secure.

  • Power Supply: Connect the 110V AC power supply to the designated terminals.
  • Probe Inputs: Connect the NTC/PTC temperature probes for thermostat, defrost, and condenser as required by your application.
  • Digital Inputs: Connect external devices such as door switches, pressure switches, or alarm contacts to the configurable digital inputs.
  • Relay Outputs: Connect the compressor, defrost heaters, fans, and alarm/light circuits to their respective relay outputs. Observe current ratings.
  • Serial Output: The TTL serial output can be used for communication with other devices.

4.2 Initial Power-Up:

After completing all wiring, apply power to the unit. The display will illuminate, and the controller will perform a self-test. The current temperature reading from the thermostat probe will be displayed.

5. Operating Instructions

The XR70CX-4N0F3 features a user-friendly interface with push buttons for navigation and parameter adjustment.

5.1 Display and Basic Operation:

  • The main display shows the current temperature measured by the thermostat probe.
  • Use the SET button to view or modify the setpoint temperature.
  • Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to navigate menus and adjust values.
  • The ON/OFF button controls the power to the unit.
  • Specific icons on the display indicate operational status, such as compressor activity, defrost cycle, or alarms.

5.2 Parameter Programming:

The controller is programmable, allowing customization of various operational parameters. Accessing and modifying parameters typically involves a sequence of button presses (e.g., holding SET for a few seconds) to enter programming mode. Refer to the detailed programming manual (often supplied separately or available from DIXELL) for a complete list of parameters and their functions, including:

  • Setpoint adjustment range.
  • Differential (hysteresis).
  • Defrost parameters (type, interval, duration).
  • Alarm thresholds and delays.
  • Probe calibration.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DIXELL XR70CX-4N0F3 controller.

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the front panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Connections: Annually check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
  • Probes: Ensure temperature probes are clean and securely mounted in their intended locations.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the area around the controller is free from obstructions to allow for proper heat dissipation.

For any internal maintenance or repair, contact a qualified technician.
