User Guide | ERC 112 Refrigeration Controller Introduction Temperature control for refrigeration appliances. Application Front panel mounting. The latest generation CPU, plenty of memory Advantages and high-end electronic components allow for a uniquely versatile software. Three separate password-protected user levels can be used to control more than 300 different parameters to fit all individual requirements.
User Guide | ERC 112 Refrigeration Controller Product overview Display The ERC 112 is an electronic refrigeration controller with an LED display especially developed for bottle coolers and commercial fridges and freezers. It is particularly suited for OEM customers where time, easy and reliable installation and high quality need to go hand in hand with flexibility.
