UniversalXR Unit of Measure Change Instructions
1. General Description
Model Universal-XR is a 71×29 mm format microprocessor based controller, it is available in 12/24Vac/dc, 120Vac or 230Vac, and is suitable for applications on high, medium or low temperature refrigeration units. It is provided with three relay outputs to control compressor, defrost – which can be both electrical or hot gas – and evaporator fans. It can work with PTC or NTC probes. Where defrost is being terminated by time, it can operate with just one thermostat probe. Where defrost is being terminated by temperature, it has an input for an evaporator probe(s). The Universal-XR is equipped with a flashing visual alarm and buzzer. Each instrument is fully configurable through special parameters that can be easily programmed through the keypad.
2. Quick Start Up Procedure Up And Running In 5 Easy Steps
This Quick Start Up section is designed to get you up and running with the minimum of fuss. Just follow these 5 simple steps.
STEP 1
Install the new Universal-XR per the installation instructions included with the controller.
STEP 2 STEP 3
Turn on power, THEN WITHIN 1 MINUTE COMPLETE STEPS 3, 4 AND 5.
Press the “SET” and “DOWN” key for 3 seconds and the controller will automatically recognise and adjust itself to the type of probes connected. (The display briefly shows tPd followed by ntC or PtC).
STEP 4
Press the “AUX/tC” key for 3 seconds and the setting of parameter tC is displayed. Use the UP or DOWN keys to adjust to required setting then confirm by pressing SET (see table 1 below).
STEP 5
Press SET for 3 seconds until the °C or °F icon starts to flash, then adjust the SET POINT using the UP or DOWN keys, then press SET again to confirm.
Notes: 1. All probes must be of the same type, either PTC or NTC.
2. Probes must be at between –58 to 140°F for auto recognition to work;
3. If 1 minute expires before you have completed quick set up, either cycle the power OFF then ON to start the set up again or enter Pr2 as per the instructions and adjust your parameter settings manually (see Section 9).

4. Parameter Table and factory default settings
IMPORTANT: Always set parameter “tC” first. As you move “tC” between settings 1 to 7, all non-relevant parameters will be masked. After setting “tC”, it will be possible to modify all the other relevant parameters.
Once the program is completed you may want to save the parameter map to a Hot Key. If the “tC” is changed after final programming the parameters will be changed back to the default listed below.
WARNING!! Always switch the power OFF and then ON at the end of programming to update any parameter changes. Make sure you connect the correct number of probes to suit the setting of parameter tC. Failure to do this will cause probe alarms

Description
Type of Controller: tells the Universal-XR which type of controller it will be operating as. 1 = on/off Heating thermostat 1 relay & 1 probe; 2 = Combined thermostat with off cycle defrost timer 1 relay & 1 probe; 3 = Combined thermostat with time initiated & time terminated defrost 2 relays & 2 probe; 4 = Combined thermostat with time initiated & temperature terminated defrost 2 relays & 2 probes; alarm 5 = Combined thermostat with time initiated, temperature terminated defrost + 2 relays & 2 probes; defrost 6 = Combined thermostat with time initiated, temperatures terminated defrost + evaporator fans control with delay after defrost 3 relays & 3 probes; 7 = Combined thermostat with time initiated, temperatures terminated defrost + evaporator fans control with delay after defrost 3 relays & 3 probes. Fully open map
Probe Type: configures the controller to work with PTC or NTC probes. 0 = ptC = PTC, 1 = ntC = NTC.
Differential: (1 to 50) sets the degrees above Set Point at which the compressor cuts in.
Note: when tC = 1 (heating applications) the tC value is automatically set below the Set Point. If the temperature decreases and reaches set point minus differential the regulation output is activated and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.
Minimum set point limit: (-55°C to SET or -67°F to SET) sets the lower limit of set point adjustment.
Maximum set point limit: (SET to 150°C or SET to 302°F) sets the upper limit of set point adjustment.
Anti-short cycle delay: (0 to 50min) minimum interval between the compressor stop and the next possible restart.
UXR10012015_REV1.4mm (01/25)
Second compressor start delay: (0 to 255sec)
Temperature alarm configuration: rE = Related to Set Point; Ab = Absolute.
Note: Relative means alarms are linked to the Set Point and will follow it if it is adjusted. In this case ALU & ALL set the temp over & under Set Point for alarm. Absolute means ALU & ALL are fixed alarm temperatures, which are not affected by any Set Point adjustment.
High temperature alarm: ALC = rE [0 to 50°C] or [0 to 90°F]; ALC = Ab [ALL to 150°C] or [ALL to 302°F].

Description Low temperature alarm: ALC = rE [0 to 50°C] or [0 to 90°F]; ALC = Ab [-55°C to ALU] or [-67 to ALU].
Temperature alarm delay: (0 to 255min) time interval between an alarm condition occurring and the alarm is signalling.
Delay of temperature alarm at start-up: (from 0 to 720min; res. 10min) time delay of any temperature alarm during pull down following “power on”.
Outputs activation delay at start up: (0 to 255min) time delay before any output relay activates following “power on”.
Thermostat override: (0 to 990min; res. 10min) period during which the compressor will run continuously, regardless of temperature. Setting this parameter to 0 disables this function.
Set point for continuous cycle: (-55 to 150 °C or -67 to 302°F) it sets the set point used during the continuous cycle.
Defrost delay after fast freezing: (0 to 255min) time interval between the end of the thermostat override period and the start of the following defrost related to it.
Interval between defrosts: (0 to 255hours) time interval between the beginning of two consecutive defrosts.
Delay start of defrost: (0 to 255min) delay between reaching the defrost interval time (as defined by parameter idF) and when a defrost cycle actually starts. Used to stagger defrosts between multiple systems.
(Maximum) duration of defrost: (0 to 255min) time duration of a defrost cycle when only one probe is in use, or defrost time out override when second (evaporator) probe is in use. Set it to zero to disable defrost cycles.
Defrost termination temperature: (-55 to 50°C or -67 to 122°F) sets the defrost termination temperature. Measured by the evaporator probe.
(Maximum) length for second defrost: (0 to 255min) when P3P = 0, (not evaporator probe: timed defrost) it sets the defrost duration, when P3P = 1 (defrost end based on temperature) it sets the
maximum length for defrost. *** Only if being used with tC7***
Note: The P3 probe will be automatically set as second evaporator probe by the tC parameter.
Second termination temperature: (-55 to 50°C or -67 to 122°F) sets the temperature measured by the second evaporator probe (P3), which causes the end of defrost.
Display during defrost: 0= rt = real temperature; 1 = it = temperature at defrost start; 2 = sEt = set point; 3 = dEF = dEF label; 4 = dEG = dEG label. Defrost display time out: (0 to 250min) after a defrost, the controller will revert to current temperature display when the temperature is back down within i ts normal working range, or after the time set in this parameter, whichever is the sooner.
Defrost type: 0 = El = electrical heater; 1 = rE = hot gas, compressor runs during defrost.
Drain down time: (0 to 255min) drain down time. Runs concurrently with Fnd (Fan delay after defrost time).Both fan and compressor are off during this time period.
First defrost after power-on: 0 = Y = immediately; 1 = n = after the idF interval time.
Fan operating mode: 0= C_n = cycles on/off with the compressor, OFF during defrost; 1= O_n= continuous mode, OFF during defrost; 2= C_Y = cycles on/off with the compressor, ON during defrost; 3= O_Y = continuous mode, ON during defrost;
Fan stop temperature: (-55 to 50°C or -67 to 122°F) temperature above which the evaporator fan stops (during the normal refrigeration cycle).
Fan delay after defrost: (0 to 255min) the time interval between the end of a defrost cycle and evaporator fans starting. Runs concurrently with Fdt (Drain down time). Always keep Fnd longer that Fdt.

9. Thermostat Override ( not available when parameter tC = 1)
For rapid chilling or freezing, the thermostat can be overridden by pressing the UP button until the icon lights up. The compressor will run in continuous mode, for the time period set in parameter CCt. Normal operation will then resume automatically after the CCt is exhausted or when the CCS is exhausted (Continuous Cycle Set Point). The cycle can also be terminated manually by pressing the UP button again for about 3 seconds.
10. Defrost Types
tC parameter value
1 2 or 3 4, 5, 6 or 7
Action
No defrost Off cycle defrost by timer Forced type of defrost: Electrical or Hot Gas
tdF = 0: defrost is electrical; tdF = 1: defrost is by hot gas.
11. Evaporator Fan Control (only when parameter tC = 6 or 7)
The fan control mode is selected by means of the “FnC” parameter:
FnC parameter
C_n O_n C_Y O_Y
Action
Fans will cycle ON and OFF with the compressor and be off during defrost cycle. Fans will run continuously, but be off during defrost cycle. Will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and be on during defrost cycle (*). Fans will run continuously and be on during defrost cycle (*).
(*) Note: Fans will stop if the temperature value set in parameter “FSt” is exceeded. Parameter FSt sets the fan stop temperature. This is the maximum temperature, detected by the evaporator probe, above which the evaporator fans will stop. Leave FSt above ambient temperature during commissioning to avoid fan short cycle. After finishing the defrost phase, there is a stand still drain time, set by parameter Fdt. When this period has expired, the refrigeration cycle commence but the evaporator fans remain off until Fnd (fan delay) times out.

12. Special Applications Dead Band Control
12.1 Dead Band Control (Cooling & Heating) tc=7
With [oAb = db], the compressor relay controls cooling as normal but the 3rd (auxiliary/ fan) relay is used to control a heater. The value entered in parameter HY will now be set equal on both sides of the SET POINT. Example: if [HY = 1°C] that will create a 2°C Dead Band. At [SET POINT + HY], cooling switches on. At [SET POINT HY], heating switches on. Either cooling or heating switch off when temperature returns to SET POINT.

13.1 Muting Alarm Buzzer & Relay
The alarm buzzer can be muted, by pressing any button. The controller will briefly show the reset “rES” label. Parameter tbA defines how the alarm relay will respond to the muting of the buzzer.
· tbA = n: the alarm relay will remain active until the alarm condition is rectified; · tbA = Y: the alarm relay de-activates when the buzzer is muted. In either case, the display will flash an alarm label until the condition is rectified.
13.2 Alarm “EE”
The Copeland Universal-XR is provided with an internal watchdog verifying data and memory integrity. Alarm “EE” will flash after detecting a failure in data or in the internal memory. In this case, the alarm output is enabled. WHAT TO DO
1. Cancel the alarm by pressing a key. 2. Check the value of all parameters and restore correct values when wrong. 3. Check the correct instrument operation and in case of further errors replace it.
13.3 Alarm Recovery
Probe alarms “P1”, “P2” and “P3” start 30 seconds after a fault in probe is detected; they automatically stop 30 seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the probe.
Temperature alarms “HA” and “LA” automatically stop as soon as the thermostat temperature returns to normal values and when defrost starts. Temperature alarms “HA2” and “LA2″ automatically stop as soon as the condenser temperature returns to normal values.

14. Removing Security Level Protection
It is possible to allow access to any parameter from Pr1 level. To do this, go into Pr2 as previously described. Scroll to the label of the parameter you require and then press the SET and DOWN buttons in quick succession. The decimal point LED will be on indicating that access to this particular parameter is now possible from Pr1 level. Its label will now appear when in Pr1 programming level and its value can be altered. To restore security level protection, use the same procedure (the decimal point LED will go out after pressing both buttons).
15. Mounting
The Universal-XR should be mounted in a panel, in a 29mm (1.14″) x 71mm (2.8”) hole, and fixed using the special brackets supplied. Ambient temperature for correct operation is 32 to 140°F. Avoid places subject to strong vibrations, corrosive gases, excessive dirt or humidity (20 to 85% non-condensing RH is the recommended working range). Make sure air can freely circulate through the cooling holes slots at the rear side of the controller.
16. Electrical Connections
The instrument is provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross section up to 2.5 mm2. Before connecting cables make sure the power supply complies with the instrument’s requirements. Separate the probe cables from the power supply cables, from the outputs and from the power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current rating for each relay; in case of heavier loads use a suitable external relay.
17. Probes
It is recommended to place the thermostat probe away from rapid air streams to correctly measure the average room temperature. Place the defrost termination probe among the evaporator fins in the coldest place, where most ice is formed, far from heaters or from the warmest place during defrost, to prevent premature defrost termination.
