Universal XR60CX Controller Manual
UNIVERSAL–XR60CX
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model Universal-XR is a 71x29 mm format microprocessor based controller, suitable for applications on high, medium or
low temperature refrigeration units. It is provided with three relay outputs to control compressor, defrost - which can be both
electrical or hot gas - and evaporator fans. It can work with PTC or NTC probes. Where defrost is being terminated by time,
it can operate with just one thermostat probe. Where defrost is being terminated by temperature, it has an input for an
evaporator probe(s).
The Universal-XR is equipped with a flashing visual alarm and buzzer.
Each instrument is fully configurable through special parameters that can be easily programmed through the keypad.
This Quick Start Up section is designed to get you up and running with the minimum of fuss. Just follow these 5 simple steps.
STEP 1 Install the new Universal-XR per the installation instructions included with the controller.
Turn on power,
STEP 2
THEN WITHIN 1 MINUTE COMPLETE STEPS 3, 4 AND 5.
Press the “SET” and “DOWN” key for 3 seconds and the controller will automatically recognise and
STEP 3 + adjust itself to the type of probes connected. (The display briefly shows tPd followed by ntC or PtC).
Press the “AUX/tC” key for 3 seconds and the setting of parameter tC is displayed. Use the UP or
STEP 4
DOWN keys to adjust to required setting then confirm by pressing SET (see table 1 below).
Press SET for 3 seconds until the °C or °F icon starts to flash, then adjust the SET POINT using the UP
STEP 5
or DOWN keys, then press SET again to confirm.
• Notes:
1. All probes must be of the same type, either PTC or NTC.
2. Probes must be at between --58 to 140°F for auto recognition to work;
3. If 1 minute expires before you have completed quick set up, either cycle the power OFF then ON to start the set up again or
enter Pr2 as per the instructions and adjust your parameter settings manually (see Section 9).

0= ptC = PTC,
1= ntC = NTC.
HY
Differential: (1 to 50) sets the degrees above Set Point at which the compressor cuts in.
Note: when tC = 1 (heating applications) the tC value is automatically set below the Set Point. If the temperature decreases and reaches set point minus differential the regulation
output is activated and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.
LS Minimum set point limit: (-55°C to SET or -67°F to SET) sets the lower limit of set point adjustment.
US Maximum set point limit: (SET to 150°C or SET to 302°F) sets the upper limit of set point adjustment.

2=P3, Display Probe
3=P4, Hot Key Connector Probe, Condenser Alarm Probe
Temperature alarm configuration:
ALC
rE = Related to Set Point;
Ab = Absolute.
Note: Relative means alarms are linked to the Set Point and will follow it if it is adjusted. In this case ALU & ALL set the temp over & under Set Point for alarm. Absolute means
ALU & ALL are fixed alarm temperatures, which are not affected by any Set Point adjustment.
ALU
High temperature alarm:
ALC = rE→ [0 to 50°C] or [0 to 90°F];
ALC = Ab → [ALL to 150°C] or [ALL to 302°F].
ALL
Low temperature alarm:
ALC = rE → [0 to 50°C] or [0 to 90°F];
ALC = Ab → [-55°C to ALU] or [-67 to ALU].
AFH Differential for alarm recovery, the control will still display the alarm until this value+
ALD Temperature alarm delay: (0 to 255min) time interval between an alarm condition occurring and the alarm is signalling.
DAO Delay of temperature alarm at start-up: (from 0 to 720min; res. 10min) time delay of any temperature alarm during pull down following “power on”.
ODS Outputs activation delay at start up: (0 to 255min) time delay before any output relay activates following “power on”.
CCT Thermostat override: (0 to 990min; res. 10min) period during which the compressor will run continuously, regardless of temperature. Setting this parameter to 0 disables this
function.
CCS Set point for continuous cycle: (-55 to 150 °C or -67 to 302°F) it sets the set point used during the continuous cycle.
DAF Defrost delay after fast freezing: (0 to 255min) time interval between the end of the thermostat override period and the start of the following defrost related to it.
IDF Interval between defrosts: (0 to 255hours) time interval between the beginning of two consecutive defrosts.
DSD Delay start of defrost: (0 to 255min) delay between reaching the defrost interval time (as defined by parameter idF) and when a defrost cycle actually starts. Used to stagger
defrosts between multiple systems.
MDF (Maximum) duration of defrost: (0 to 255min) time duration of a defrost cycle when only one probe is in use, or defrost time out override when second (evaporator) probe is in
use. Set it to zero to disable defrost cycles.
DTE Defrost termination temperature: (-55 to 50°C or -67 to 122°F) sets the defrost termination temperature. Measured by the evaporator probe.
NDS
(Maximum) length for second defrost: (0 to 255min) when P3P = 0, (not evaporator probe: timed defrost) it sets the defrost duration, when P3P = 1 (defrost end based on
temperature) it sets the maximum length for defrost. *** Only if being used with tC7***
Note: The P3 probe will be automatically set as second evaporator probe by the tC parameter.
DTS Second termination temperature: (-55 to 50°C or -67 to 122°F) sets the temperature measured by the second evaporator probe (P3), which causes the end of defrost.
DAD Defrost display time out: (0 to 250min) after a defrost, the controller will revert to current temperature display when the temperature is back down within its normal working
range, or after the time set in this parameter, whichever is the sooner.
TDF
Defrost type:
0= El= electrical heater;
1= rE = hot gas, compressor runs during defrost.

FST Fan stop temperature: (-55 to 50°C or -67 to 122°F) temperature above which the evaporator fan stops (during the normal refrigeration cycle).
FND Fan delay after defrost: (0 to 255min) the time interval between the end of a defrost cycle and evaporator fans starting. Runs concurrently with Fdt (Drain down time). Always
keep Fnd longer that Fdt.
FON Fan ON time: (0 to 15min) used to set an On/Off cycle of the evaporator fans while the compressor is off. With FnC = 0 or FnC = 2, it sets the evaporator fan ON cycling time
when the compressor is OFF. With Fon = 0 and FoF ≠ 0, the fans are always off. With Fon = 0 and FoF = 0 the fans are always off.
FOF Fan OFF time: (0 to 15min) used to set an On/Off cycle of the evaporator fans while the compressor is off. With FnC = 0 or FnC = 2, it sets the evaporator fan OFF cycling time
when the compressor is OFF. With Fon = 0 and FoF ≠ 0, the fans are always off. With Fon = 0 and FoF = 0 the fans are always off.

3. Automatically the parameter list of the “Hot Key” is downloaded into the Controller memory, the “doL” message is blinking followed a by flashing
“End”.
4. After 10 seconds the instrument will restart working with the new parameters.
5. Remove the “Hot Key”.
NOTE the message “Err” is displayed for failed programming. In this case turn the unit off and then on if you want to restart the download again or
remove the “Hot key” to abort the operation.
As well as the main digital display, there are some small icons on the front
panel. These are used to indicate the status of the loads controlled by the
instrument. Each icon function is described in the following table.

15.1 MUTING ALARM BUZZER & RELAY
The alarm buzzer can be muted, by pressing any button. The controller will briefly show the reset “rES” label. Parameter tbA defines how the alarm
relay will respond to the muting of the buzzer.
- tbA = n: the alarm relay will remain active until the alarm condition is rectified;
- tbA = Y: the alarm relay de-activates when the buzzer is muted.
In either case, the display will flash an alarm label until the condition is rectified.
15.2 ALARM “EE”
The Dixell Universal-XR is provided with an internal watchdog verifying data and memory integrity. Alarm “EE” will flash after detecting a failure in data
or in the internal memory. In this case, the alarm output is enabled.
WHAT TO DO
1. Cancel the alarm by pressing a key.
2. Check the value of all parameters and restore correct values when wrong.
3. Check the correct instrument operation and in case of further errors replace it.
15.3 ALARM RECOVERY
Probe alarms “P1”, “P2” and “P3” start 30 seconds after a fault in probe is detected; they automatically stop 30 seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check
connections before replacing the probe.
Temperature alarms “HA” and “LA” automatically stop as soon as the thermostat temperature returns to normal values and when defrost starts. Temperature alarms
“HA2” and “LA2” automatically stop as soon as the condenser temperature returns to normal values.
16. REMOVING SECURITY LEVEL PROTECTION
It is possible to allow access to any parameter from Pr1 level. To do this, go into Pr2 as previously described. Scroll to the label of the parameter you require and then
press the SET and DOWN buttons in quick succession. The decimal point LED will be on indicating that access to this particular parameter is now possible from Pr1
level. Its label will now appear when in Pr1 programming level and its value can be altered. To restore security level protection, use the same procedure (the decimal
point LED will go out after pressing both buttons).
17. MOUNTING
The Universal-XR should be mounted in a panel, in a 29mm (1.14”) x 71mm (2.8”) hole, and fixed using the special brackets supplied. Ambient temperature for correct
operation is 32 to 140°F. Avoid places subject to strong vibrations, corrosive gases, excessive dirt or humidity (20 to 85% non-condensing RH is the recommended
working range). Make sure air can freely circulate through the cooling holes slots at the rear side of the controller.
18. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The instrument is provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross section up to 2.5 mm 2. Before connecting cables make sure the
power supply complies with the instrument’s requirements. Separate the probe cables from the power supply cables, from the outputs and from the
power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current rating for each relay; in case of heavier loads use a suitable external relay.
19. PROBES
It is recommended to place the thermostat probe away from rapid air streams to correctly measure the average room temperature. Place the defrost
termination probe among the evaporator fins in the coldest place, where most ice is formed, far from heaters or from the warmest place during defrost,
to prevent premature defrost termination.
