Introduction_____________________________________ Any small DC refrigeration system using a Danfoss BD series of DC compressors controlled by a “dial” or analog thermostat will benefit with an upgrade from the standard thermostat to a Full Gauge electronic digital thermostat. Using the Full Gauge digital thermostat allows complete control of both the set point and differential of the thermostat operation.
shut off voltage. A table of the resistor values for low battery protection is included at the end of this manual. Speed control: The compressor speed can be changed by adding a resistor (R1) in series with the thermostat. If the system came with a resistor, the original resistor value is usually the best choice and should be retained unless there is a good reason to change it.
Assembly: Electrical Wiring Connections______________ Connection on the Full Gauge Thermostat End Locate the stainless steel thermostat mounting bracket (015-0000) and mount the On/Off rocker switch (017-3101) and the Full Gauge digital thermostat (015-0010) into the bracket. The “O” on the On/Off rocker switch should be below the “l”.

the rocker switch attaches via another insulated female spade terminal (290- 0005) to a short length of wire (cut from red wire from the multi-conductor cable) which then attaches to connection 8 on the Full Gauge thermostat (also red in the photo). The other end of the positive, red wire of the multi- conductor cable will connect to the Danfoss compressor control module large “+”...
Connection on the Danfoss Control Module End The wires (241-0001, red and black) supplying power to the Full Gauge thermostat use insulated female spade terminals (290-0001 and 290-0021) to connect to the double male-female adapter terminals (290-0902) included in the kit and “piggyback” with the Danfoss power supply cable (with a insulated female spade terminal) on the large “+”...

The Full Gauge positive (+) 12 volt DC supply wire (241-0001, red) connects to a waterproof AGC inline fuse holder (017-2011) with an adhesive lined heat shrink butt connector (290-0212) before continuing to the Danfoss control module installation location. Heat the butt connector with a match, lighter, or heat gun after making the electrical connections to activate the adhesive and shrink the insulation around the wires, making a waterproof connection.
Determining Thermostat Temperature Settings_________ The digital thermostat for refrigeration systems utilizing a roll bond evaporator can be installed and programmed in either of two methods. In one method, the thermostat senses and regulates the temperature of the evaporator, which has a low setting with a large rise in temperature before the compressor restarts.
tubing is located within the plate. This can be observed visually when the plate first cools from ambient temperature. The serpentine pattern of the tubing in the plate is visible in the frost pattern as the plate begins to chill, usually within 20 minutes of starting the system. The holding plate system needs to run until the plate liquid is completely frozen, and not restart until the frozen plate completely thaws.
Assembly: Temperature Probe Sensor Attachment_______ The thermostat must sense the temperature of what it is trying to regulate. Usually this will be the evaporator or holding plate temperature. The oval end of the temperature probe should be attached to the holding plate in an area that is out of the way of normal access to the food in the box, yet in an area that most accurately senses the state of the plate, either frozen or liquid.

Attach the third piece of foam in the same manner as second piece. Press the layers of foam tape together firmly to assure good contact between the layers. The same foam tape method of probe attachment can be used on the roll bond evaporator. Mount the thermostat probe on a large flat area away from the evaporator tubes and near the exit of the suction line on the roll bond evaporator.
FG MT-512RiL Digital Thermostat Configuration Instructions Initially, there are protected items that must be configured in the thermostat by unlocking the unit. Those items are units (C or F), defrost timer, and differential. Once those are configured the setpoint may be changed at any time without using the unlock code. For the protected items, do step 1 to 5 and then finish by setting the setpoint in step 6.

FG MT-511RiL Digital Thermostat Configuration Instructions There are four items that must be configured in the thermostat. The items are units (C or F), setpoint (the temperature to shutoff the compressor), differential (the temperature rise from setpoint to restart the compressor), and function (cooling or heating). The system must be powered on and the thermostat switch should be in the off position during the configuration process.
