General Precautions

General Description

The XR77CHC, with a 32x74x60mm format, is a microprocessor-based controller suitable for applications in ventilated medium and low-temperature refrigeration units. It features 4 relay outputs to control the compressor, fans, lights, and defrost or auxiliary outputs. The device is also supplied with up to 4 NTC, PTC, or PT1000 probe inputs. The first is for temperature control, the second should be placed on the evaporator to control the defrost end temperature and manage the fan. The third and fourth are for the condenser or other applications. The controller has a pair of configurable digital inputs. With the HOT-KEY, it is possible to program the instrument easily and quickly.

The controller has Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity with the Copeland Connected mobile application, which can be downloaded from the Android and iOS app stores. You will need to create your own account to connect to the device.

Bluetooth Pairing: Linking Copeland Connect

To connect the Copeland Connected application to the device, you must start the application, register with a new account, or open your account if already registered. Ensure your location is activated on your smartphone, wait for the BLE network to scan and discover, and select the device you wish to connect to. On the appliance, press and hold the two top buttons (AUX + SET) together for more than 3 seconds to activate the connection.

If the controller depends on your organization or is free, you can connect. If you see a padlock icon ?, you will need to ask for the organization's password to connect to the device.

  1. Press the SET key for more than 3s to change the setpoint value.
  2. The setpoint value will be displayed and the "°C" LED will start flashing.
  3. To change the setpoint, press the UP (▲) or DOWN (▼) button.
  4. To memorize the new setpoint value, press the SET button again or wait 60s.

Manual Defrost

Press the DEFROST button for more than 3s to initiate a manual defrost cycle.

Regulation

Regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe with a positive differential to the setpoint. If the temperature rises and reaches the setpoint plus the differential, the compressor starts. When the temperature returns to its value, the compressor switches off.

In case of thermostat probe failure, compressor start-up and shut-down are timed via the CoF and Con parameters.

Second Compressor

The controller can manage circuits with a double compressor. For this, a pair of relays must be correctly configured: oAx=CP1 and oAy=CP2. The parameters used for this type of regulation are:

The second compressor output is activated via the 2CC parameter:

With the rCC parameter, compressor rotation can be enabled: the activation of the first and second compressor will be alternated to equalize the working hours of both. In case of hot gas defrost, it is possible to select whether one or both compressors will be used.

Energy Saving Algorithm

Description

The device allows configuring different setpoints that can be used during normal or reduced electricity usage. The standard SETPOINT (SET) is used to maintain the temperature at a certain value when the energy saving (ES) state is not active. Conversely, when the ES state is active, a different SETPOINT (SET_ES) will be used, which is higher than the standard one.

The HES parameter must be configured to change the temperature regulation according to the formula: SET ES = SET + HES.

Additionally, there are two differential values for SET and SET_ES, used for compressor activation and deactivation. When the ES state is active, the HYE parameter will be used instead of HY.

Basic Energy Saving Algorithm

The energy saving state will be saved in internal memory to resume previous operation if a failure occurs. It requires a door switch to function (e.g., i1F=dor).

Parameters Involved:

ModeStatusChanged By
NormalAPress the DOWN button for 3s (if enabled). The door remains closed for the StE time.
Energy SavingAPress the DOWN button for 3s (if enabled). Controller in ES mode for the EtS time.
NormalAIf the controller is in ES mode, it returns to standard mode (normal setpoint) after the door is opened for more than the ds time.

NOTE: Cyclic mode (ES - normal mode - ES - etc.) works if i1F=dor and EtS and StE are different from zero. If EtS=0 or StE=0, the controller will not change the operating mode, and it will be possible to switch from normal to energy saving mode using the ES button or by configuring i1F=ES.

Quick Cooling Function

The quick cooling function is activated automatically:

When the regulation probe temperature (Tes) is:

In this case, a different setpoint (SET+CCS) will be enabled. As soon as the ambient temperature reaches the SET+CCS value, the compressor will stop, and normal regulation will be restored.

NOTE: The Quick Cooling function is disabled when CCS=0 or CCt=0.

The CCt parameter configures the maximum activation time for any quick cooling function. When CCt expires, the quick cooling function will stop immediately, and the standard SETPOINT will be restored.

Evaporator Fans

General Description

The evaporator fan can be managed by a specific control. To enable it, an evaporator probe must be selected using the FAP parameter. Here is a description of all related parameters:

With the FnC parameter, the evaporator fan operating mode can be selected:

Evaporator Fan and Digital Input

When the digital input is configured as a door switch (i1F=dor), the state of the evaporator fan and compressor depends on the odC parameter:

When rrd=Y, the regulation will always be restored after a door open alarm.

Condenser Fan

General Description

The condenser fan can be managed by a specific control. To enable it, a condenser probe must be selected using the FAC parameter. Here is a description of all related parameters:

With the FCC parameter, the condenser fan operating mode can be selected:

Defrost

Defrost modes are available in the tdF parameter: defrost via electric heater (tdF=EL) and defrost with hot gas (tdF=in).

The defrost interval depends on the presence of the RTC (optional). The internal RTC is controlled by the EdF parameter:

Other parameters are used to control defrost cycles: maximum length (MdF) and defrost modes: timed or controlled by the evaporator probe (P2P).

When defrost is complete, the drip time is activated, and its duration is configured in the Fdt parameter. If Fdt=0, the drip time is disabled.

Synchronized Defrost

The defrost function requires:

A maximum of 20 controllers can be used in this configuration. The synchronized defrost mode is enabled in the SYd=SYn parameter. After each defrost request (received from RTC, timed by idF parameter, manually via the defrost button, or by digital input configured as dEF), all controllers will activate their own defrost phase. When a controller concludes its defrost phase, it will release the defrost line and load the drip time. Upon completion of the drip time, normal regulation will be reactivated. The remaining controllers will follow the same logic.

Random Defrost

The random defrost mode can be activated with the Syd=rnd parameter. After each defrost request (received via RTC or timed with the idF parameter), a random delay will be added. Upon completion of the added delay, defrost will be activated. The random function serves to desynchronize the activation of defrost phases in cases where more than one cabinet is installed in an "island". The maximum defrost delay is linked to the following parameters:

Through the following formula: MAX_DEFROST_DELAY = Mdf*ndE (min).

For example: in case of ndE=10 and Mdf=20 min, the total interval to complete the defrost phase will be 200 min. (in the worst case).

NOTE: Pay attention to the available time interval for defrost. It must be used by selecting both MdF and ndE values. The higher the nde value, the better the result in terms of desynchronization. On the other hand, the longer the time interval required to complete defrosts.

Digital Output Configuration

Depending on the model, one or more outputs (relays) can be configured with one of the following functions:

General Notes:

If oAx=AUS and ArP=nP (no probe for auxiliary digital output), the AUX output can be managed:

ON/OFF Output (oAx = ONF)

If oAx=onF, the output is activated when the controller is turned on and deactivated when it is turned off.

Deadband Regulation

With oAx=db, the output can be used to control, for example, a heating element. It is used to implement deadband regulation. In this case:

Alarm Output

With oAx=ALr, the output functions as an alarm output. It is always activated when an alarm occurs. Its state depends on the tba parameter: if tbA=Y, the output is deactivated by pressing any key. If tbA=n, the alarm output remains active until the alarm condition is restored.

Activation During Energy Saving Cycles

With oAx=HES, the output is activated when the energy saving cycle begins.

Parameter Menu

The device has a parameter menu available on the keypad, where specific parameters can be modified. There are two parameter levels:
