Danfoss AK-CC55 Case-Room Controller Installation Guide
Identification
Dimensions
Principle
The controller is provided with labels from the factory indicating a general application.
When selecting the required application, specific labels are provided so that you can mount the relevant one.
Data communication
Important: It is important that the installation of the data communication cable is performed correctly with sufficient distance to high voltage cables.
AKV info
(Application 5 – 9)
Coordinated defrost via cable connections
The following controllers can be connected in this way:
EKC 204A, AK-CC 210, AK-CC 250,
AK-CC 450, AK-CC 550 and AK-CC55.
Refrigeration is resumed at the same time when all controllers have terminated defrost.

(L: max. 100 m)
AKS 32R info
(Application 5 – 9)
The signal from one pressure transmitter can be received by up to 10 controllers.
There must not be a significant pressure drop from the pressure transmitter’s position in the suction line to the individual evaporators.
Relay info
(Application 1 – 4)
Electric noise
Cables for sensors, low voltage DI inputs and data communication must be kept separate from other electric cables:
- Use separate cable trays
- Keep a distance between cables of at least 10 cm
- Long cables at the low voltage DI input should be avoided
Installation considerations
Accidental damage, poor installation, or site conditions, can give rise to malfunctions of the control system, and ultimately lead to a plant breakdown.
Every possible safeguard is incorporated into our products to prevent this. However, a wrong installation could still present problems. Electronic controls are no substitute for normal, good engineering practice.
Danfoss will not be responsible for any goods, or plant components, damaged as a result of the above defects. It is the installer’s responsibility to check the installation thoroughly, and to fit the necessary safety devices.
Special reference is made to the necessity of signals to the controller when the compressor is stopped and to the need of liquid receivers before the compressors.
Your local Danfoss agent will be pleased to assist with further advice, etc.

- Set the desired cut-out temperature r00
- Set the weighted thermostat air temperature between S4 and S3 sensor r15
- Set the weighted thermostat air temperature between S4 and S3 during night operation r61
- Set the weighted alarm air temperature between S4 and S3 A36
- Set the weighted display readout between S4 and S3 o17
- Select refrigerant via parameter o30 (only application 5-9)
- Set the pressure transmitter min. and max. range via parameter o20 and o21 (only application 5-9)
- Set the desired defrost method in d01
- Set the interval time between defrost starts in d03
- Set the desired defrost sensor in d10
