Common Questions
25 totalHow do I change the temperature setpoint on the XR06CX?
Press the SET key for more than 2 seconds to enter setpoint change mode, then the setpoint value will display with the °C or °F LED blinking. Use the up or down arrow keys to adjust the value, and press SET again or wait 10 seconds to save the new setpoint.
What does the 'P1' alarm message mean and how do I fix it?
The 'P1' message indicates a room probe (thermostat) failure. When this alarm occurs, the compressor output will operate according to the 'Cy' and 'Cn' parameters. Check the probe connections before replacing the probe, as the alarm should automatically stop within seconds after the probe returns to normal operation.
How do I start a manual defrost cycle?
Press the DEF key for more than 2 seconds to start a manual defrost. The defrost will begin if the conditions allow it.
What is the anti-short cycle delay and what is the default setting?
The anti-short cycle delay (AC parameter) is the minimum interval between the compressor stop and the following restart, which prevents the compressor from cycling too quickly. The default setting is 1 minute, and it can be adjusted from 0 to 50 minutes.
How do I lock the keyboard to prevent accidental changes?
Keep the Aux and down arrow keys pressed together for more than 3 seconds until the 'OF' message is displayed. The keyboard will then be locked, and pressing any key for more than 3 seconds will display the 'OF' message.
What are the different fan operating modes available on the XR06CX?
There are four fan operating modes selectable via the FC parameter: cn (runs with compressor, OFF during defrost), on (continuous mode, OFF during defrost), cY (runs with compressor, ON during defrost), and oY (continuous mode, ON during defrost). The default setting is 'on'.

General Warnings
1.1Please Read Before Using This Manual
This manual is part of the product and should be kept near the instrument for easy and quick reference. The instrument shall not be used for purposes different from those described hereunder. It cannot be used as a safety device. Check the application limits before proceeding. Dixell Srl reserves the right to change the composition of its products, even without notice, ensuring the same and unchanged functionality. 1.2Safety Precautions
Check the supply voltage is correct before connecting the instrument. Do not expose to water or moisture: use the controller only within the operating limits avoiding sudden temperature changes with high atmospheric humidity to prevent formation of condensation Warning: disconnect all electrical connections before any kind of maintenance. Fit the probe where it is not accessible by the End User. The instrument must not be opened. In case of failure or faulty operation send the instrument back to the distributor or to “Dixell S.r.l.” (see address) with a detailed description of the fault. Consider the maximum current which can be applied to each relay (see Technical Data). Ensure that the wires for probes, loads and the power supply are separated and far enough from each other, without crossing or intertwining. In case of applications in industrial environments, the use of mains filters (our mod. FT1) in parallel with inductive loads could be useful. 2General Description
The XR06CX, format 32 x 74 x 60 mm, is microprocessor based controller, suitable for applications on medium or low temperature ventilated refrigerating units. It has three relay outputs to control compressor, fan, and defrost which can be either electrical or reverse cycle (hot gas). The device is also provided with 2 NTC probe inputs, the first one for temperature control and the second one to be located onto the evaporator, to control the defrost termination temperature and to managed the fan and it’s provided with a configurable digital input. With the HOTKEY it’s possible to program the instrument in a quick and easy way. 3Regulation
The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe with a positive differential from the set point: if the temperature increases and reaches set point plus differential the compressor is started and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again. In case of fault in the thermostat probe the start and stop of the compressor are timed through parameters “Cy” and “Cn”. 4Defrost
Two defrost modes are available through the “td” parameter: td=EL defrost through electrical heater (compressor OFF) td=in hot gas defrost (compressor ON). Other parameters are used to control the interval between defrost cycles (id) ), its maximum length (Md) and two defrost modes: timed or controlled by the evaporator’s probe. At the end of defrost dripping time is started, its length is set in the dt parameter. With dt=0 the dripping time is disabled. 5Fans
With FC parameter it can be selected the fans functioning: FC=cn will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and not run during defrost FC=on fans will run even if the compressor is off, and not run during defrostAfter defrost, there is a timed fan delay allowing for drip time, set by means of the “Fd” parameter.
FC=cy fans will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and run during defrost FC=oY fans will run continuously also during defrost.
An additional parameter “FS” provides the setting of temperature, detected by the evaporator probe, above which the fans are always OFF. This is used to make sure circulation of air only if his temperature is lower than set in “FS” 5.1
Fans And Digital Input
When the digital input is configured as door switch iF=do, fans and compressor status depends on the dC parameter value: dC=no normal regulation; dC=Fn fans OFF; dC=cP compressor OFF; dC=Fc compressor and fans OFF. When rd=y, the regulation restart with door open alarm. 6Front Panel Commands

Digital Inputs (Only Xr03Cx)
The free voltage digital input is programmable in different configurations by the “i1F” parameter. 8.1Door Switch (If=Do)
It signals the door status and the corresponding relay output status through the “dC” parameter: no = normal (any change); Fn = Fan OFF; CP = Compressor OFF; FC = Compressor and fan OFF. Since the door is opened, after the delay time set through parameter “di”, the door alarm is enabled, the display shows the message “dA” and the regulation restarts if rd = y. The alarm stops as soon as the external digital input is disabled again. With the door open, the high and low temperature alarms are disabled. 8.2External Alarm (If=Ea)
As soon as the digital input is activated the unit will wait for “di” time delay before signalling the “EA” alarm message. The outputs status don’t change. The alarm stops just after the digital input is de- activated. 8.3Serious Alarm (If=Ba)
When the digital input is activated, the unit will wait for “di” delay before signalling the “CA” alarm message. The relay outputs are switched OFF. The alarm will stop as soon as the digital input is de- activated. 8.4Start Defrost (If=Df)
It starts a defrost if there are the right conditions. After the defrost is finished, the normal regulation will restart only if the digital input is disabled otherwise the instrument will wait until the “Md” safety time is expired. 8.5Inversion Of The Kind Of Action: Heating - Cooling (If=Hc)
This function allows to invert the regulation of the controller: from cooling to heating and viceversa. 9Installation And Mounting
Instrument XR06CX shall be mounted on vertical panel, in a 29x71 mm hole, and fixed using the special bracket supplied. The temperature range allowed for correct operation is 060 °C. Avoid places subject to strong vibrations, corrosive gases, excessive dirt or humidity. The same recommendations apply to probes. Let air circulate by the cooling holes.10
Electrical Connections
The instrument is provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross section up to 2,5 mm2. 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 the power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current allowed on each relay, in case of heavier loads use a suitable external relay.10.1 Probes
The probes shall be mounted with the bulb upwards to prevent damages due to casual liquid infiltration. It is recommended to place the thermostat probe away from 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. 11How To Use The Hot Key
