2.1 Disclaimer in the event of non-compliance
These operating instructions contain information on the commissioning, function, operation and maintenance
ofthecontrolsandoftheassociatedcomponents.
2.2 Personnel requirements, requirements on staff
Special technical knowledge is required for planning, programming, installation, putting into service and
maintenance work. This work may only be performed by skilled, specially trained personnel. The installation,
putting into service and maintenance personnel must have training that authorises them to perform
interventions in the system and the automation system. The planning and programming personnel must be
familiar with the safety concepts of automation technology. Working on electrical systems requires special
technical knowledge. Work on electrical systems may only be performed by instructed electrically skilled
persons or under the guidance or supervision of such persons. The applicable regulations (e.g. DIN EN 60204,
EN 50178, DGUV Regulation 3, DIN-VDE 0100/0113) must be observed. The operating personnel must be
instructed in how to handle the system / machine and the controller and must be familiar with the operating
instructions.
ATTENTION
Warning of damage to goods!
In our experience, the transmission of fault messages is not yet functional during the putting into
service (no internet connection, no telephone line installed, etc.). It is strongly recommended in such
cases to monitor the controller via the CAN bus using a system centre, a store computer or an operator
terminal and to enable the transmission of fault messages, for example using a GSM modem via a
mobile telephone system. In standalone operation, or as an alternative to monitoring via system
centre / store computer / operator terminal, an available alarm contact on the controller must be used
to enable the transmission of fault messages via a telephone network.
For more information, refer to E*LDS basics, safety instructions, CAN bus & Modbus.
Observance of these operating instructions is a prerequisite for safe and trouble-free operation.

2.5 Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs)
All electrostatic-sensitive components and control components (referred to as "ESD" below) are labelled with
the warning sign shown. Electrostatic charges arise from friction of insulating materials (e.g. floor covering,
items of clothing made of synthetic fibres etc.). Even small charges can result in damage to or destruction of
components. Such damage is not always immediately noticeable; in some cases, it does not lead to failure until
after a certain operating time.
2.5.1 ESD - Rules for handling and working
Transport and store ESDs only in the protective packaging provided.
Avoid materials that may produce electrostatic discharge, for example
Plastic containers and table tops
Synthetic fibre clothing
Plastic-soled shoes
Plastic file covers
Styrofoam packaging
Computer monitors, etc.
Preferably wear the following:
Cotton work clothes
ESD shoes with conductive soles or leather soles
Use the following:
Conductive flooring
ESD workstations equipped with suitable tools (grounded soldering guns, antistatic wrist straps, etc.)
Conductive ESD bags, conductive plastic containers, IC tubes or cartons lined with conductive foam
Containers and worktops made of wood, metal or conductive plastics or paper bags

3 VDD 500 Functions
The white backlit LED temperature display VDD 500 (Virtus Data Display) has been developed for front
installation, e.g. in refrigerated case panels. The display shows the temperature of an assigned temperature
sensor from one of two temperature zones in the range between -50 °C..+100 °C and the current defrost/alarm
status.
Temperature Display VDD 500
Temperature and current status of the controller
Display of the current actual temperature of a temperature sensor: Only one of the temperature
sensors connected to the controller can be assigned to a temperature display.
The temperature sensor is assigned in menu 6-1 (only visible if DIP switch 7 is set to ON). A correction
value (parameter "Offset", menu 6-2-2) can be applied to the temperature values in the temperature
display in order to be able to compensate for differences between the thermometer in the refrigerated case
and on the display of the case controller.
Note: This correction value only concerns the display; the actually measured temperatures are not
corrected.Thecorrectionvaluehasnoinfluenceonthecontrol(cooling,defrostingetc.).
Defrost: The defrost status is indicated by a "d" (defrost) and always refers to the temperature zone in
which the assigned temperature sensor is located, e.g. 4.1.
Example: If the temperature sensor R4.1 has been assigned to the temperature display, the defrost status
refers to zone 1.
Alarm: For visualisation of a pending alarm, "AL" (alarm) can be displayed and then flashes at 2-second
intervals.
Using the parameter "Alarm symbol" (menu 6-2-2), the display of an alarm can be switched on or switched
off. The visualisation of the alarm status is switched off at the factory (parameter is set to "N").
Address of the temperature sensor
Continuous display
After switching on for the first time, the address (the last two digits of the serial number) of the
VDD is continuously displayed (e.g. "A09"). No temperature sensor has been assigned yet.
Display flashes at 2-second intervals
The VDD scan (menu 6-1) has been started and is running, the controller determines the number
of connected temperature sensors.
For full details and description of the VDD scan, addressing and assignment of temperature
sensors, see operating manual Case Controller UA 4xx E:

Configurability of
the temperature
display
Only via system centre (in the machine room) and CAN
bus, no standalone local configuration possible.
Even after the VDD scan (displays were found on the
Modbus), no subsequent assignment of sensors is
possible via BT 300, always only via the system
centre!
Via system centre and CAN bus, standalone local
configuration easily possible with BT 300.
Addressing and
preconfiguration
Only possible in connected state, must be connected to
controller, sensors can only be assigned via terminal
mode via the system centre.
Preconfiguration is not possible - only in connected
state (connection to case controller) in the system!
Coding is possible by cutting the wire loops.
A preconfiguration without current is possible at any
time,
e.g. by the switch cabinet builder.
Possible problems
with address
allocation/
VDD Scan
Possible address conflict!
But ONLY if the last two digits of the serial numbers are
identical. Installer must ensure that this constellation does
not occur.
None.
With the same coding of the wire bridges, e.g. of two BT
30, they show the same temperature.
Compatibility with
controllers
Only UA 4xx E with 9-pole DIP switch and Version

4 Installation and start-up VDD 500
Case controller UA 4xx E commissioning
Switch off controller, disconnect from the power supply (A).
Activate DISPLAY interface for the communication with VDD 500:
Set DIP switch 7 to ON (B).
Connect temperature displays VDD 500 to the DISPLAY interface (C),
for details about the wiring, see chapter Connection - Terminal assignment VDD 500.
Switch on the controller again, supply with power (A).
All temperature displays VDD 500 connected to the case controller display their address (e.g. "A09")
continuously, as no temperature sensors have been assigned to them yet.
Note: The displayed address corresponds to the last two digits of the serial number of the respective
temperature display.
IntegratetemperaturedisplaysVDD500:
- first call up the terminal mode of the desired case controller via the system centre (E) connected via the
CAN bus (D),
- start the search via the "VDD scan" parameter in menu 6-1 and determine the number of connected
temperature displays.
Note:
The VDD Scan parameter is only visible if DIP switch 7 is set to ON!
- The addresses (e.g. "A09") flash in the display during the VDD scan.
DANGER
Warning about dangerous electrical voltage!
Danger to life - Danger of electric shock! BEFORE connecting and disconnecting, it must be
checked that no voltage is present at all connections of the controller.
The temperature displays VDD 500 are only compatible with case controllers with 9-pole DIP switch
(B) and version V3.20 or higher, the current firmware for the UA 4xx E is available in the EDP. The
temperature displays VDD 500 can only be configured using a system centre (E) connected on the
CAN bus!
08.11.2022
15/23
7. After the "VDD Scan", the temperature sensors of the case controller can now be assigned to the connected
temperaturedisplaysVDD500.
Practical tip: In practice, two temperature displays - one for each temperature zone - are usually used to
display the return air temperatures R4.1 and R4.2 (F). If required, two additional temperature displays can
be installed for the display, for example, of the two return air temperatures R2.1 and R2.2 (G).
•
•
Brief information for the configuration
Attention! Temperature displays with the same two digits at the end of their serial number must
not be connected at the same time to a case controller, as they can no longer be uniquely identified
during / after a VDD scan and this will cause problems!
During the VDD scan (menu 6-1), the addresses 1..100 are automatically queried for max. 4
temperature displays. The temperature displays respond to the query according to the last two
digits of their serial number (SN) and are registered in the controller. If the last two digits of the
serial number are "00", then this corresponds to the address "100".
If 2 temperature displays have been connected and addresses 09 and 28, for example, have
been found via VDD Scan, the VDD scan is not terminated until after reaching address 100 -
i.e. not until all possible addresses have been queried - max. duration approx. 2 minutes.
The address of the temperature display is shown during the VDD scan.
If 4 temperature displays have been connected and addresses 03, 09, 28 and 32, for
example, have been found via VDD Scan, then the VDD scan will be automatically
terminated after the fourth device found, as all 4 possible temperature displays have been
found.
After the initial scan, the return air sensor R4.1 (terminals Z21/Z22) is automatically assigned to all
temperature displays. Afterwards, sensors can be assigned to the determined temperature
displays. For full details and description of the VDD scan, automatic addressing and assignment of
temperature sensors, see operating manual Case Controller UA 4xx E:

5 Connection - Terminal assignment VDD 500
Connection instructions for case controllers UA 400 E / UA 401 E / UA 410 E
The DISPLAY interface must first be activated on the case controller for communication with temperature
displaysofthetypeVDD500:
Set DIP switch 7 to ON (A), for details, see chapter Installation and start-up VDD 500.
The 6-pole mating connector (B) on the DISPLAY interface of the case controller is used for power supply
and communication to the max. 4 temperature displays VDD 500.
The recommended cable type is LiYCY 2x2x0.25 mm² or J-Y(ST)Y 2x2x0.8 mm.
The shield (SHLD) of the cable must be connected on one side to a PE terminal (C) near the DISPLAY
interface of the controller.
The cable is connected via the 4-pole spring-loaded terminal (D) on the rear of the temperature display VDD
500 using TWIN wire end sleeves.
Looping through the shield: at each terminal point, the shield ends of the cables must be connected to each
other as short as possible (E).
The individual temperature displays VDD 500 must be connected to each other in a line structure, spur
lines (star) are not permitted!
At the last temperature display VDD 500 (F) or at the end of the cable, a terminating resistor of 120 Ohm*
must be connected between terminals A- and B+ using TWIN wire end sleeves, the shield remains in the
cable.
The maximum cable length - from the beginning of the 6-pole mating connector to the last temperature
display VDD 500 - must not exceed 30 m.
DANGER
Warning about dangerous electrical voltage!
Danger to life - Danger of electric shock! BEFORE connecting and disconnecting, it must be
checked that no voltage is present at all connections of the controller.
ATTENTION
All supply lines for the temperature display VDD 500 must be shielded (cable type: LiYCY 2x2x0.25
mm² or J-Y(ST)Y 2x2x0.8 mm)! For details about the supply lines, see the topic "Modbus" in the
operating manual "E*LDS Basics, Safety Instructions, CAN Bus & Modbus".

*Specialfeature:
The assignment and colour sequence of the connector pin assignment of the temperature display
VDD 500 is different from that of the system centres Virtus 5 / CI 5xx0 / CI 4xx0 / and the pack
controller VPC 5000.
* A 120 Ohm terminating resistor is permanently integrated in the case controller between terminals
2and 3. This means that the DISPLAY interface represents the beginning of the line, termination at
these terminals must not be done!
It is only at the end of the line (at the last temperature display VDD 500) that a terminating
resistor of 120 Ohm must be installed.
Mounting instructions Insert one end of the 120 Ohm terminating resistor and one wire (A-
brown / B+ white) with the enclosed TWIN wire end sleeve.

Examples for connection of VDD 500 to UA 4xx E
Variant 1: Case controller UA 400 E / UA 410 E
Two temperature zones - Standard
One temperature display per zone, e.g. for return air (R4.1/R4.2)
Variant 2: Case controller UA 400 E / UA 410 E
Two temperature zones - maximum number of VDD 500
Two temperature displays per zone, e.g. for return air (R4.1/R4.2) and supply air (R2.1/R2.2)
Variant 3: Case controller with only one temperature zone, e.g. UA 401 E
One temperature display, e.g. for return air (R4.1)
For full details and description of the VDD scan, automatic addressing and assignment of temperature
sensors, see operating manual Case Controller UA 4xx E:

Practical tip / recommendation:
If the temperature displays VDD 500 are already installed in a refrigerated case at the factory, two 4-pole
terminal blocks should be provided there to loop through the cabling for easier connection:
A: The cabling comes from the DISPLAY interface of the case controller or from another temperature display
VDD 500.
B: The cabling (B) goes to the next temperature display or
C: the cabling ends here so that the necessary 120 Ohm terminating resistor can be connected to this terminal
block.
