Danfoss ERC 213 User manual

Control Overview

The ERC 213 is designed to be an easy, universal

replacement control. We encourage users to

employ one of ve predened applications that

meet the needs of most systems. If users need

to modify specic parameters, it should be done

after installing the predened application that

most closely meets system needs.

For more information, including detailed

instructions, error codes, parameters, and more,

visit www.danfoss.com/erc or download the

Koolcode app from iTunes or Google Play.

Technical data

App Selection Select application based on application and

wiring conguration (i.e., refrigeration vs.

freezing, and number of temperature sensors).

The Typical Wiring Congurations diagram on

the reverse side of this document may be used

to assist with selection. All parameters can be

modied using the full menu. Some parameters

have min and max set points which may need to

be changed for less common congurations.

STEP 3

Enter Quick Conguration Menu and Select app

Press ”<”for more than three seconds within one minute

of power up to enter Quick Conguration Menu. o61 appears on screen

Press“set” while o61 is on screen AP0 ashes on screen

Select appropriate app using App Selection section

below by pressing“ ” or “ ”, then press “set”. o06 appears on screen

STEP 4

Select Sensor

Press“set” while o06 is on screen n10 ashes on screen

If using included sensor, leave default value “n10”. If using

another sensor, select using Sensor Resistance section

below or cycle through steps 2 – 4 changing the sensor

type until the temperature reading on the main screen

is accurate. As above, cycle between options by pressing

“” or “ ” and press “set” to save.

o06 appears on screen, then control resets

STEP 5

Set Temperature

From main screen, quickly press “set” (1 second). Current temp. setting appears on screen
