User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Introduction ERC 113 The ERC 113 is an electronic stand-alone controller designed to optimise total cost savings. Particularly suited for OEM customers, the controller easily meets requirements for a time-saving and flexible production setup. Programming can be carried out in just 10 seconds using the unique Danfoss docking station. Moreover, the ERC 113 is easy to mount and comes with just one code number to facilitate inventory management.
User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Overview of the ERC 113 application setups: stand-alone, remote display and remote spindle. The ERC 113 stand-alone controller can be equipped with a variety of accessories, including remote display, remote spindle and multiple sensors. Overview of the system The ERC 113 stand-alone controller is easily programmed using the Danfoss docking station or a gateway.
User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Application setup 1) ERC 113 stand-alone The ERC 113 is an IP-rated stand-alone controller for use in applications such as beer coolers and counter-top bottle coolers (e.g. in petrol stations). With input from multiple sensors, the cost-efficient controller delivers energy-saving routines as well as providing control of compressor, light, fan and defrost functions.
User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Configuration of inputs and outputs ERC 113 inputs and outputs Possible input and output connections The ERC 113 inputs and outputs are configurable by the customer. Before getting started it is a good idea to check if all inputs are configured correctly and match the sensors attached. For instance: Danfoss supplies only 2-pole defrost sensors, so input "S3" will most likely be used as a defrost/evaporator temperature sensor input.
User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Operation Software tool/Gateway The controller can be controlled in three ways: Using "Software tool", the Danfoss Docking Station or manually by means of the buttons on the front panel. "Software tool" is licenced Danfoss software offering easy parameter set up via a USB gateway. This software is supplied separately; for technical literature and further information, please contact your local Danfoss representative.

User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Sensor placement Control sensor The control sensor must always be connected and is used for controlling the cut-in and cut-out of the compressor according to the set point. The sensor is also used for the displayed temperature. Control sensor Vertical coolers with fan Most common placement is in the return air to the evaporator.
User manual ERC 113 refrigeration controller Condenser sensor The condenser sensor is used to protect the compressor against high pressure when the condenser is blocked or the condenser fan fails. Placement of sensor Place the sensor at the liquid side of the condenser. Use a metal bracket or metal tape to ensure good thermal conductivity. Be sure that the cable does not pass hot spots at the compressor or condenser that exceeds 80°C.
