1 - Technical Highlights
yEase of use: Four buttons, easy menu structure, pre-installed application solutions ensure superior usability.
ySimple installation:
High Effect 16 A relay enable direct connection of heavy loads without use of intermediate relay: up to 2 hp
compressors depending on its power factor and motor efficiency (greater than 0.65 for 230 V and greater than 0.85
for 115 V).
A wide range of compatible types of sensors and screw connection terminals ensure highly flexible installation.
yUnit protection: Special software features like compressor protection from fluctuation in the power supply or from
high condensing temperature ensure the safe operation of the unit.
yEnergy efficiency: Defrost on demand, day/night mode and smart evaporator fan management ensure energy
efficiency.
The ERC 214 is a smart, multipurpose integrated refrigeration controller with temperature and defrost
management, available with 4 relays.
This controller is for Operating temperature sensing control, suitable for refrigeration and heating
applications.
Incorporated control has been designed to fulfil today’s requirements for commercial refrigeration
applications.

3 - Quick Configuration at Power Up
ySTEP 1: Power on
ySTEP 2: Select the quick configuration menu
Within 30 seconds of power on, press “<”BACK for 3 seconds.
The main switch“r12”is automatically set to OFF.
ySTEP 3: Select pre-installed application “o61”
The display automatically shows the application selection parameter“o61”.
Press SET to select the pre-installed application.
The display shows the default value (eg. “AP0” flashing).
Choose the application type by pressing UP/DOWN and press SET to confirm.
The controller presets parameter values according to the selected application and does not hide relevant parameters.
Tip: you can easily move from AP0 to AP6, and thus select the simplified list of parameters, by pressing the UP key
(circular list).
App Description
App 0 None (no preset application)
App 1Medium temperature (2 – 6 °C), ventilated ref. units with timed natural defrost
App 2Medium temperature (0 – 4 °C), ventilated ref. units with timed electrical defrost
App 3Low temperature (-26 – -20 °C), ventilated ref. units with timed electrical defrost
App 4Medium temperature (0 – 4 °C), ventilated ref. units with electrical defrost (by temperature)
App 5Low temperature (-26 – -20 °C), ventilated ref. units with electrical defrost (by temperature)
App 6 None (no preset application) with simplified parameter list

Quick Configuration at Power Up
ySTEP 4: Select sensor type“o06”
The display automatically shows sensor selection parameter“o06”.
Press SET to select the sensor type.
The display shows the default value (eg. “n10”flashing).
Choose sensor type by pressing UP/DOWN (n5=NTC 5 K, n10=NTC 10 K, Ptc=PTC, Pt1=Pt1000) and press SET to
confirm.
NOTE: All sensors must be the same type.
ySTEP 5: Configure DO4 output“o36”
The display automatically shows the“o36” parameter to configure“DO4”output.
Select light (“Lig”) or alarm (“ALA”) as per the application and press SET to confirm.
The display returns to normal display mode and the control is started.
