KQ-QUIETLINE – XC35CX (RTC) REAL TIME CLOCK
New XC35CX control
Beginning August 2023, KeepRite will begin to manufacture all models in the Quiet Line Condensing unit product line with an updated XC35CX Dixell control. The updated control includes the functionality of a programmable (RTC) Real Time Clock. The RTC eliminates the need for a conventional mechanical time clock for air and electric defrost applications. This bulletin serves to highlight the wiring and programming changes required to activate the RTC feature on Non ESP+ applications.
Part#1111400 Firmware: V6-MT or V6-LT
Medium/High-Temperature Units (Timed Air Defrost)
Medium and High-Temperature units are now equipped with a control relay “R1 Defrost Timer Relay”. This relay requires field wiring to the common terminal on the room thermostat. This will de-energize the liquid line solenoid coil, close the solenoid valve, and pump down the system to perform the air defrost cycle.

Low-Temperature Units (Timed Electric Defrost)
Low-temperature units are now equipped with a control relay “R1 Defrost Timer Relay”. This relay requires field wiring to the common terminal on the room thermostat and the evaporator fan motors or fan contactor coil, depending on the evaporator(s) used. This will de-energize the fans and liquid line solenoid coil, close the solenoid valve, and pump down the system to perform the electric defrost cycle. An additional control relay “R2 Defrost Termination Relay” requires wiring to the “X” terminal on the evaporator terminal board. When energized, the relay coil will close a set of normally open (N.O) contacts wired to terminals 22 & 23 on the XC35CX control and terminate defrost.

XC35CX Control Programming
All Quiet line Condensing units with the updated XC35CX control will not have timed defrost capabilities enabled. All defrost settings will remain dormant unless specifically enabled. To enable the RTC functionality the following will need to be manually entered. ”Hur” Setting for local time and Date, “Pdt” Pump down duration time. Time allowed for pump down when a defrost cycle is initiated, default Time (2 minutes), “otd” Off Time Defrost Duration Default (40 Minutes).
Defrost Cycle Start time “df1-8 ” and “nu” Setpoints will need to be programmed to enable the Defrost clock functionality (Up to 8 Defrost Cycles available).
