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.

temperature. Pull down settings overrule all other settings.
"Pit"
Min. -40.0°C
Max. 50.0°C
Default 50.0°C
Pull Down Initiate Temperature
This parameter indicates the temperature which causes a pull
down to start. If the temperature measured inside the cabinet
exceeds this value for longer than one hour, then pull down will
start. The compressor will have already cut-in, so the only effect
is to stop defrost cycles until the desired temperature is reached.
The period of one hour is fixed and cannot be altered.
"PCy"
Min. 0 min
Max. 360 min
Default 30 min
Pull Down Cycling
This is the duration in minutes of the compressor cycling at the reduced
set point temperature. Once the desired pull down limit temperature
"PLt" has been reached during pull down, the compressor will continue to
cycle ON/OFF for the duration of "PCy". At the end of the period defined by
"PCy", the set point temperature will return to normal and pull down will
cease.
"Pdi"
Min. 0 hour
Max. 48 hour
Default 15 hour
Pull Down Defrost Interval
Even though most applications do not need Defrost during pull down, an
extended defrost during pull down can be applied. This is the time
between defrost cycles during pull down. It is measured in hours and can
be up to 48 hours.During pull down, this setting overrides the defrost
interval and defrost time settings (see the defrost section).
"Pdd"
Min. 0 hour
Max. 48 hour
Default 24 hour
Pull Down Duration
You can choose to limit the maximum pull down time. Once this time
value (max. 48 hours) is reached, pull down will stop regardless of
whether the desired pull-down temperature has been reached.
"PLt"
Min. -55.0°C
Max. 55.0°C
Default 0.0°C
Pull Down Limit Temperature
This parameter sets the minimum allowed temperature during pull-down.
In order to protect valuable contents you must always specify the absolute
minimum temperature allowed in your application.
For glass door merchandisers 0°C/32°F protects bottles from freezing;
for commercial fridges you may opt for a slightly higher temperature
(e.g. 2°C)
"Prt"
Min. 0.0 K
Max. 10.0 K
Default 0.1 K
Pull Down Reduction Temperature Δt
The controller calculates a lower set point during pull down mode to
increase the cooling capacity of your appliance. For each hour the
cabinet temperature is above the pull down initiate temperature,
the set point is reduced with the value of "Prt".

Fan Start Temperature
This only applies if an evaporator temperature sensor is fitted.
This parameter determines at what evaporator temperature the fan will
start after a defrost cycle is complete.
If the time set in "Fdd" occurs before the temperature set in "Ftd", the fan
will start in line with "Fdd". If the temperature set in "Ftd" occurs first,
then the fan will start in line with "Ftd". It is therefore a case of whichever
parameter’s setting is reached first which determines when the fan starts.

"Ert"
Min. 0 min
Max. 60 min
Default 0 min
Error Run Time
The parameter only become active in the unlikely event of a broken
temperature sensor. It is used to run the application in safety mode.
At the same time the sensor error will be shown in the display.
"Ert" define the duration the compressor will run.
Example: "Ert=4" [min] and "ESt=16" [min] will provide an average cooling
system activity of 20%. Ert and "ESt" values are based on OEM experience
and are by default inactive.
"ESt"
Min. 0 min
Max. 60 min
Default 1 min
Error Stop Time
The parameter only become active in the unlikely event of a broken
temperature sensor. It is used to run the application in safety mode.
At the same time the sensor error will be shown in the display.
"ESt" define the duration the compressor will be "idle".
"CSt"
Min. 0 min
Max. 30 min
Default 2 min
Minimum Stop Time
It determines the minimum number of minutes the compressor must
remain idle before a Temperature cut-in can take effect. For example,
if the temperature sensor indicates that the cut-in temperature has been
reached, but the number of minutes set in this parameter have not elapsed
since the compressor last stopped, then the compressor will stay OFF.
It will only start once the duration given by "CSt" has been reached
provided the temperature is still high enough. "CSt" thus overrides the cut-in.
"Crt"
Min. 0 min
Max. 30 min
Default 0 min
Minimum Run Time
It determines the minimum number of minutes the compressor must run
before a Temperature cut-out can take effect. For example, if the
temperature sensor indicated that the cut-out temperature has been
reached, but the number of minutes set in this parameter have not
elapsed since the compressor last started, then the compressor will
continue. It will only stop once the duration given by "Crt" has been
reached – provided the temperature is still low enough.
"Crt" thus overrides the cut-out.
"Cot"
Min. 0 min
Max. 480 min
Default 0 min
Maximum OFF Time
This is the maximum time in minutes the compressor is allowed to
"idle" – up to 480 minutes. Cot is set to zero by default (inactive).

"Pot"
Min. -100.0°C
Max. 200.0°C
Default -100.0°C
Power ON Temperature
This parameter is used to accelerate the first application test on the
OEM assembly line; if the cabinet temperature is higher than this
parameter the power ON Delay is overruled and the outputs are activated
without delay.
Con Condenser Protection settings
NOTE: A condensor temperature sensor is required to use these parameters.
Condenser protection is generally used in dusty environments where
the condenser may accumulate a layer of dust or dirt and therefore be
at risk of overheating.

temperature is displayed. With the parameter set to 1, the display will
only ever show temperatures rounded to the nearest whole degree.
At 0.5, it will round the temperature to the nearest half degree for display.
For example, 3.3 degrees will be shown in the display as 3.5 degrees
and 3.9 as 4.0. With the parameter set to 0.1, no rounding occurs.
This parameter does not affect the temperature itself, merely the display.
"rLt"

- temperature: control/condenser/evaporator.
- light: ECO/display/both.
- motion
- digital: door sensor.
Please contact your local Danfoss representative for information about
default settings.
NOTE: coded sensors will impact on the number of possible
configurations.
For instance: Danfoss supplies only 2-pole defrost sensors, so input "S3"
will most likely be used as a defrost/evaporator temperature sensor input.
