2 INTRODUCTION

The E71R and E72R EcoCool™controllers are microprocessor based electronic temperature and defrost controllers for use in compressor-driven commercial

freezers and refrigerators. The E71R includes one relay for a refrigeration compressor or refrigeration solenoid valve. The E72R includes one relay for a

refrigeration compressor or refrigeration solenoid valve and one relay for a defrost heater and optional fan.

3 E71R AND E72R CONTROLLERS

3.1 Overview

E71R / E72R Controller

WARNING: A separate switch must be installed to disconnect the controller, compressor, and fan from line voltage for service.

Both controllers allow configuration of cut-in and cut-out temperatures and defrost scheduling for precise temperature control. An adjustment knob allows

the user to select a configured cold setpoint, warm setpoint, or any setpoint within this range. Optionally, the adjustment knob also can be configured with

ON/OFF functionality to power off the controller for non-service purposes. To prevent setpoint adjustment with the adjustment knob, a fixed setpoint can be

configured. The E71R and E72R can defrost the evaporator using an off-cycle defrost that powers off the compressor for a specified time period or until a

specified evaporator temperature is reached. Additionally, the E72R includes a second relay that can be used to energize a defrost heater or reverse cycle

solenoid valve to defrost the evaporator coil. Controller configuration is designed on a computer using EcoCool configuration software and is downloaded into

the controller from the computer or a copy card.

Three status LEDs (red, yellow, and green) display the system status. Temperature and fault alarms, defrost status, and compressor operation are indicated

by the LEDs.

An optional remote digital display shows the control temperature and, during adjustment, changes to the setpoint. It can be configured to show for the

duration of the defrost cycle the actual temperature, the temperature that was sensed at the moment the defrost cycle started, or dF. The display also

includes three system status LEDs.

Optional Display

To minimize temperature alarms during start up, defrost, and temperature fluctuations, alarm delay timers can be configured. The controllers can be

configured to start defrosting based on the elapsed system-on time, the accumulated run time of the compressor, or the difference in temperature between

the evaporator sensor and the control sensor. Defrosting can be terminated by elapsed time, the evaporator or control temperature sensor, or by a

temperature switch. If the control temperature sensor fails, the compressor can be powered on, powered off, or follow a configured duty cycle.

The controllers include the following physical features:

• Knob for setpoint adjustment

• Two temperature sensor inputs for a control probe and an evaporator probe

• One digital input for an optional defrost termination switch

• E71R Controller: One relay for a refrigeration compressor

• E72R Controller: One relay for a refrigeration compressor and one relay for a defrost heater and fan

• 90V to 240V AC switching power supply

• Connection for configuration or optional display

• Plastic enclosure and compact size for easy installation in most appliances

• Customizable control parameters

• Flash-memory microprocessor for quick and inexpensive configuration and firmware downloads at the factory or in the field

• Adjustable mounting clips for panel or bracket mounting

4 INSTALLATION

4.1 Installing the controller

The controller can be mounted in a panel cutout with the LEDs showing, mounted behind a panel with only the adjustment shaft exposed, or mounted

completely within the case.

To mount the controller with the face exposed, cut a 2 26/32” by 1 5/32” (71 mm x 29 mm) hole in the panel. Insert the controller from the outside of the

panel and slide a mounting clip onto each side of the controller from behind the panel.

Optionally, the controller can be mounted to a bracket inside the case.

4.1.1 Wiring the controller

WARNING: Before wiring the controller, make sure that the refrigeration unit, fan, heater, and controller are not connected to the electrical supply.

Do not apply voltage to the digital input.

WARNING: If the compressor and a fan are connected to the same relay on the controller, the total current drawn by the compressor and fan must

not exceed the value shown in section 8.4 Terminations.

Use insulated spade connectors to connect the controller to the output loads. If your line voltage uses a neutral line and a phase line, connect the phase line

to the phase terminal(s) on the controller. Line 1 and Line 2 connections on the controller are not phase dependent. Connect the control sensor, optional

evaporator sensor, and optional defrost termination switch using the screw terminal block.

4.2 Mounting the display

The optional display can be flush mounted in a panel cutout up to 30ft (10m) from the controller. To mount the display flush to the panel, cut a 2.32” by 1”

(64mm x 31mm) hole in the panel. Insert the display from the outside of the panel. Friction tabs on the sides of the display hold it in place.

4.3 Wiring the display

Use the Interface Box, Copy Card, and Display TTL Connector on the controller to connect to the display.

5 FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

5.1.1 User control

The adjustment knob can be rotated to select any control temperature within the configured range.

The OFF and ON positions of the adjustment knob can be set to specific angles relative to full counter clockwise. Rotating the adjustment knob fully counter

clockwise (to OFF) powers off the controller and compressor immediately. However, hazardous voltage remains. The controller, compressor, defrost heater,

and defrost fan must be disconnected, prior to service, using a separate switch. If the On/Off Function is enabled and the knob is in the OFF position, rotating

the knob clockwise powers on the controller.

5.1.2 Control mode

The controller cycles the compressor or refrigeration solenoid valve to maintain the selected control temperature.

The warm and cold adjustment knob positions are configured using four setpoints. Cut-In Warm and Cut-Out Warm are the setpoints for the warm position.

Cut-In Cold and Cut-Out Cold are the setpoints for the cold position. The cold position is full clockwise rotation. The warm position is full counter clockwise

rotation or, if the On/Off Function is enabled, the specified angle. When the user sets the adjustment knob to a setpoint between the warm and cold

positions, the Cut-In and Cut-Out setpoints are calculated by the controller. The setpoints can be configured using Celsius or Fahrenheit units.

Differentials

When the adjustment knob is set to the warm position and the controlled space temperature is equal to or greater than the Cut-In warm setpoint, the

compressor or solenoid valve is energized until the controlled space temperature is equal to or less than the Cut-Out warm setpoint. Similarly, when the

adjustment knob is set to cold, the compressor or solenoid valve is energized when the temperature is equal to or greater than the Cut-In cold setpoint and

de-energized when the temperature is equal to or below the Cut-Out cold setpoint. For adjustment knob positions between warm and cold, the controller

interpolates the cut-in and cut-out setpoints from the four configured setpoints.

The optional display changes from the control temperature to the Cut-Out setpoint during adjustment and reverts to the control temperature three seconds

after adjustment. Because the four setpoints are configured independently, the differential can remain constant or change linearly between the cold and

warm settings.

Refer to the graphs below for various setting scenarios.

The compressor can be protected against short cycling by three time delays. The Compressor Minimum Off Time at Start delay begins counting down

when the controller is powered on. The compressor cannot be powered on before this delay expires. If the ON/OFF function is enabled, the timer does not

count down while the adjustment knob is in the OFF position. When the compressor is powered on the Compressor Minimum On Time delay begins

counting down. The compressor is not powered off by the controller before this delay expires regardless of the control temperature or setpoint. However, if

the adjustment knob is rotated to OFF the controller and compressor are immediately powered off. When the controller powers off the compressor, the

Compressor Minimum Off Time delay begins counting down. The compressor is not powered on before this timer expires regardless of control temperature

or setpoint.

TIP: An excessive Compressor Minimum On Time or Compressor Minimum Off Time can force the temperature past an alarm threshold and trigger a

temperature alarm.

5.1.3 Status indications

Three LEDs in the face of the controller indicate the status of the controller. The green LED illuminates while the compressor is powered on. The yellow LED

illuminates while the controller is in a defrost cycle. The red LED illuminates if the control temperature exceeds an alarm threshold or flashes if a

temperature sensor circuit is shorted or open. The remote display includes three red LEDs that provide the same indications (see 5.1.6 Display).

5.1.4 Defrost control

The defrost functionality can be based on the appliance operating time between defrosting cycles, the accumulated compressor run time between defrosting

cycles, or it can be disabled. If the Defrost Function is disabled, all defrosting features are disabled.

The controller can start a defrost cycle when it is powered on or after the expiration of the Time to First Defrost delay. If Defrost Cycle at Power On is

enabled, the controller starts a defrost cycle when it is powered ON or after a power interruption (power cycle). If Defrost Cycle at Power On is disabled, the

Time to First Defrost timer starts counting down when the controller is powered on. The controller starts a defrost cycle when the timer expires. After the

completion of the first defrost cycle, the Time to subsequent defrosts timer starts counting down. When it expires, defrost starts. At the end of the defrost

cycle, the timer resets and restarts.

The controller can also be configured with a Temperature Initiated Defrost Function to start defrosting if it senses too great a difference between the

control temperature and the evaporator temperature. Temperature Initiated Defrost Time Delay begins counting down if the evaporator temperature is less

than 32ºF (0ºC) and an excessive temperature difference is sensed. Defrost starts if the temperature difference still exists when the delay expires. This

temperature initiated defrost delay prevents defrost from starting if the air space temperature temporarily increases (e.g. the door is left open). The

temperature difference and delay are both configured.

Temperature Initiated Defrost Time Delay after Defrost begins counting down when refrigeration starts after defrost. This delay is typically longer than

Temperature Initiated Defrost Time Delay to prevent another defrost before the sensed temperatures return to normal. When Temperature Initiated Defrost

Time Delay after Defrost expires, the controller resumes use of Temperature Initiated Defrost Time Delay as described above. Temperature Initiated Defrost

Time Delay after Defrost permits a shorter Temperature Initiated Defrost Time Delay without the risk of starting defrost due to a lagging control temperature

after defrost.
