STAND-BY
warning 2 If the temperature regulation cannot be instantly stopped due to its configuration, a controlled stop process starts, and the Danfoss AK-RC 305W Temperature Controller for Walk In Coolers and Freezers - 6 icon flashes. To stop the controlled stop process and force the step to Stand-by, press the Stand-by key again for 3 seconds.

Installation of the probes

To achieve maximum performance from the advanced controller, the correct installation of the probes is key, as they are responsible for calculating the evaporator’s thermal transfer coefficient, evaluating the start and end of the defrosts, and diagnosing problems in the evaporator.

Material included

  • 4 mm hermetic evaporator probe, 1.5 m of cable.
  • Ambient probe
  • 1 mounting clip for 10 – 13 mm coil
  • 1 mounting clip for 14 – 18 mm coil
  • 1 mounting clip for 19 – 21 mm coil
  • 1 mounting clip for 22 – 25 mm coil

Location of the ambient probe
The probe should be located in a place that does not directly receive the flow of cold air from the evaporator.
Preferably in its air aspiration area.
Location of the evaporator probe
The probe must be located as near as possible to the inlet of refrigerant from the evaporator (close to the expansion valve) in the finned area. In certain evaporators, for example, cubic ones, this inlet may be located on the front part of the battery, just behind the fan.
If defrost is done by electric heat, the probe must be located far away from them and, if possible, in the area of the evaporator where defrosting is slower, in other words, in the last area to defrost.
If the two conditions are not possible, the best possible compromise must be looked for.

Select the appropriate clip depending on the size of its evaporator pipe. Attach the probe to the pipe using the clip, making sure that its end is in direct contact with the tube. Bend the fins of both ends of the probe to increase the fixing and contact surface.

Danfoss AK-RC 305W Temperature Controller for Walk In Coolers and Freezers - 52 ADAPTIVE mode
If the ADAPTIVE mode is activated (default configuration), the device periodically evaluates the evaporator’s heat transfer, managing the available resources to maximize it.
The defrosts are minimized, adapting to the changing conditions of the cold room, reducing heat input into the refrigerated space, thermal stress in the evaporator, and energy consumption.
The operation of the evaporate fans is optimized by taking into account the compressor status, evaporate temperature, frost level, the opening of the door, etc.
The control function of the drainage resistor minimizes its activation (moments before starting a defrost), thereby reducing energy consumption.
To achieve the correct operation of the ADAPTIVE mode, it is very important for the probes to be correctly installed, as described on page 3.

Calibration
During the first hours of operation, the device performs two calibrations automatically, during which the display shows the CAL message.
Calibration may take several hours and include several refrigerations and defrost cycles.
warning 2 During the calibration processes, the following should be avoided:

  • Opening the cold room door
  • Turning the controller off or putting it on stand-by
  • Changing controller parameters, including the set point

Danfoss AK-RC 305W Temperature Controller for Walk In Coolers and Freezers - 48

IMPORTANT:
While the calibration process is active:

  • Manual defrost cannot be activated ( Danfoss AK-RC 305W Temperature Controller for Walk In Coolers and Freezers - 49 key)
  • The continuous cycle cannot be activated
  • The set point change function cannot be activated

If calibration cannot be performed, or if an important part of the installation is replaced (compressor, evaporator, etc.) it is advisable to perform a manual calibration.
It is also recommended (not essential) to perform a manual calibration, once the installation has completed its commissioning, with a load inside it and when its operating temperature has been stabilized, after several days of operation, in this way calibration is optimal.
In the event of changing the set point or hysteresis, the device performs a calibration again automatically, except if the set point change is made using the “set point change mode” function.

To perform a manual calibration, access the parameter menu and follow the sequence indicated below:

  • Access parameter b30
  • A security code is requested, enter code 63
  • Using keys, select option 1 UP and Down press SET
