Danfoss AK-CC 550A Instructions

Product: AK-CC 550A Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Controller

Brand: Danfoss

Introduction

This document provides instructions for the Danfoss AK-CC 550A controller, a key component in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Identification

The identification section displays a diagram of the controller unit with its associated part number: 084B8030.

Dimensions

The dimensions diagram illustrates the controller's physical layout, indicating a length of 180mm, a height of 109mm, and a depth of 61.5mm. Terminal designations such as S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 are also shown.

Principle

The principle diagram presents a basic electrical schematic, featuring connections labeled 'AKV', 'S5', 'S3', 'S4', 'S6', 'S2', 'P', and '230V a.c.'. It includes a crucial note: "Insulate sensor" with translations provided in multiple languages.

AKV Info

The AKV information section lists the available coil voltages for the unit: 230 V a.c. spole, 230 V a.c. coil, 230 V a.c. Spule, 230 V c.a. Bobine, 230 V c.a. Bobina, and 230 V c.a. Bobine.

Additional Information

The controller is available with manuals in the following languages:

Further information can be found at www.danfoss.com.

Application Configurations

The controller is supplied with factory-set signs indicating Application 1. If a different application is to be used, alternative signs are provided for mounting. The document details various application configurations (1 through 10) through electrical diagrams showing terminal connections and system layouts.

Diagrams on pages 2 and 3 illustrate these application-specific terminal layouts and system configurations.

Data Communication

The AK-CC 550A supports data communication via MODBUS, LON RS485/DANBUSS, RS485, and RJ45 (TCP/IP) interfaces. It can be connected to a System Manager/Gateway (e.g., AK-SM) and external displays like the EKA 163/164. The connection type and cable length (less than 15m or greater than 15m) are critical for proper communication.

Important Note: All connections to MODBUS and RS 485 data communication must comply with the requirements specified in the literature RC8AC.

Diagrams on page 4 illustrate these communication interfaces and connection scenarios.

Connections and Inputs/Outputs

The controller features various input and output terminals for sensors, actuators, and communication. An overview table maps applications to specific terminal configurations.

Overview of Outputs and Applications

A table on page 5 details the output (DO) and input (DI) terminal assignments for applications 1 through 10, including sensor inputs (S2-S6) and digital inputs (DI1-DI3).

Terminal Descriptions

Output Terminals (DO1-DO6)

DI3: Digital input signal requiring 0 / 230 V AC. Function defined in o84.

Data Communication: Proper installation of data communication cables is essential. Refer to RC8AC literature.

Installation and Safety

Electric Noise: Cables for sensors, DI inputs, and data communication must be kept separate from other electrical cables. Use separate cable trays and maintain a distance of at least 10 cm. Avoid long cables at DI inputs.

Installation Considerations: Accidental damage, poor installation, or site conditions can lead to malfunctions. While Danfoss products incorporate safeguards, incorrect installation can cause problems. Electronic controls do not replace good engineering practice. The installer is responsible for thorough installation checks and fitting necessary safety devices. Special attention should be paid to signals when the compressor is stopped and the need for liquid receivers before compressors. Local Danfoss agents can provide assistance.

Coordinated Defrost: Diagrams illustrate coordinated defrost operations via cable connections or data communication. Refrigeration resumes when all controllers have released the defrost signal. The gateway/system manager handles the coordination settings.

Operation

Display: Shows values with three digits and allows selection between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for temperature display.

LED Indicators: Front panel LEDs indicate relay activation: = Refrigeration, = Defrost, = Fan running. Flashing LEDs indicate an alarm; error codes can be viewed and alarms acknowledged via the top button.

Buttons: Upper and lower buttons adjust values. Accessing the menu requires holding the upper button for a few seconds to enter parameter codes. The middle button is used to select parameters and confirm values.

Examples: Instructions are provided for setting menu parameters (e.g., r01) and setting temperature values.

Quick Operations:

Get a Good Start

A quick start procedure involves:

  1. Opening parameter r12 and stopping regulation (default is 0).
  2. Selecting electrical connection based on diagrams (pages 2-3).
  3. Setting the electric connection number in parameter o61.
  4. Selecting one of the preset settings from the table.
  5. Opening parameter o62 and setting the array number for presets.
  6. Selecting the refrigerant via parameter o30.
  7. Opening parameter r12 and starting regulation.
  8. Reviewing factory settings and making necessary adjustments.
  9. Setting the network address in o03 for network operation.
  10. Sending the address to the system unit (activating scan function for MODBUS or function o04 for LON RS485).

Auxiliary Schedule for Settings (Quick-Setup)

A table provides preset settings for various parameters like Temperature (SP), Max/Min temp setting, Sensor signal for thermostat, Alarm limits, and Interval between defrost, across different applications (Cases 1-6).

Key parameter groups covered in detail in the original document include:

For complete details, please refer to the original PDF document.

Fault Messages and Operating Status

In case of an error, the front panel LEDs flash, and the alarm relay is activated. Pushing the top button displays the alarm report. Alarms are categorized as A-alarms (visible after time delay) and E-alarms (visible immediately).

Fault Message Table

A table on page 12 lists fault messages with their Code, Description, and associated Alarm relay groups (P41).

Operating Status Codes

The controller displays operating statuses to indicate its current state. These are accessed by briefly pressing the upper button.

Key operating status codes include:

Other statuses like 'non' (defrost temperature not displayed) and 'PS' (password required) are also mentioned.

Data Communication Settings

Settings from the System manager or AKM can define alarm importance and destinations, controlling how alarms are logged and sent via the network.
