Password protected

Temperature control for refrigeration appliances.

Front panel mounting.

The latest generation CPU, plenty of memory

and high-end electronic components allow for

a uniquely versatile software. Three separate

password-protected user levels can be used to

control more than 300 diﬀerent parameters to ﬁt

all individual requirements.

R290/R600a end-use applications employing in

accordance to EN/IEC 60335-2-24, annex CC and

EN/IEC 60335-2-89, annex BB;

Glow wire according to EN/IEC 60335-1;

IEC/EN 60730;

UL60730;

NSF,

CQC;

GOST R 60730.

The access level can be set separately for each

parameter using "Software tool".

There are three levels of access 1, 2, 3:

- level 1 is for shop access;

- level 2 for technicians;

- level 3 for OEMs.

The access levels cannot be set using the buttons.

Passwords for the diﬀerent levels can however be

altered for the level of access you have,

e.g. a level 2 user can change the password for

level 1 and level 2 but not level 3.

Display

Buttons

The ERC 112 is an electronic refrigeration

controller with an LED display especially

developed for bottle coolers and commercial

fridges and freezers. It is particularly suited for

OEM customers where time, easy and reliable

installation and high quality need to go hand in

hand with ﬂexibility.

The display can be ordered in red or blue.

The controller is available with the upper left

button as "ECO" or "Defrost".

The lower left-button can be supplied with

"Light", "Stand by" or "Super chill".

Clips Are used to secure the controller in place in the

case of rear mounting. They are not used with

front mounting.

There are two identical clips, one placed on

either side of the controller.

Front frame

Controller without front frame Front frame with/without name/logo

At front mounting place the wired controller in

the hole. Then press the front frame in position.

The plastic lugs locks hereby the controller.

Control temperature sensor

There are diﬀerent lengths.

Defrost temperature sensor

Should be mounted on the evaporator.

Condenser temperature sensor

Should be mounted on the condenser.

Light sensor

Is optional and is used to measure the level of

ambient light around the cabinet so that night

and day "Economy", "Normal" modes of operation

can automatically be set, as well as the brightness

of the display.

Motion sensor

Should be mounted on the cabinet front.

Door sensor connector cable

Is optional and is a connector and cable with

spade terminals compatible with door contacts

used in refrigeration applications.

Software for PC

USB gateway

USB programming key

Docking station

Software tool

Software from Danfoss for programming the

ERC 112 via a USB gateway and a PC rather than

with the front panel buttons.

USB gateway

The USB Gateway is a laboratory tool, oﬀering

fast and easy programming of any ERC

controller connected directly to the PC.

"Software tool" installation kit is provided for the

PC. The gateway is standard inventory for OEM

labs.

Programming an individual unit in a

laboratory

The USB key requires "Software tool" running on

a PC. It enables parameters to be set in real time

and an array of status information to be read

(bidirectional connection).

Once the desired settings have been

determined, a speciﬁc parameter ﬁle is saved to

the USB key for later mass programming through

the docking station.

Mass programming on an assembly line:

The docking station is used for high volume

programming of ERC controllers, for example on

an assembly line. The docking station is a

write-only device.

The USB key, is to be inserted into the docking

station. The settings are then loaded into each

successive controller in a matter of seconds.

"Software tool" is not required for mass

programming.
