Accidental actuation may allow liquid throughput to the compressor. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that signal loss to the controller will not result in liquid throughput to the compressor. Danfoss accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from inadequate installation.

AK-CC55 Single Coil and Single Coil UI Table 5: Appliance cleaning function °C ÷ ÷ ÷ °C Appliance shutdown The function closes the AKV valve and all outputs are switched off. The cooling appliance is stopped like the “Main switch”, but this happens without an “A45 standby alarm”. The function can be enabled by a switch on the DI input or via a setting through data communication.
The controller has a built-in real-time clock which can be used to start defrosts. This clock has a power reserve of four days. If the controller is equipped with data communication, the clock will automatically be updated from a Danfoss system manager.
Adaptive defrosting The Danfoss adaptive defrost algorithm detects the amount of ice build-up and cancels a scheduled defrost if it is not needed, or it can be set up to only perform defrost if the evaporator air flow is getting interrupted by frost or ice.
AK-CC55 Single Coil and Single Coil UI 4. Full adaptive: Full Adaptive mode is ideal for applications where defrost is not requested to be performed at a certain time, but can be performed whenever ice is starting to interrupt the airflow. It makes sense to combine this mode with the defrost interval timer as a safety timer.
AK-CC55 Single Coil and Single Coil UI When the temperature has dropped to ”the middle of the differential”, the compressor with the longest operation time will be cut out. The running compressor will continue until the temperature has reached the cut-out value. Then it will cut out.
AK-CC55 Single Coil and Single Coil UI Figure 14: Rail heat control, dew point During defrosting During defrosting rail heat will be active, as selected in setting d27. Pulse control To obtain energy savings, it is possible to pulse control the power supply to the evaporator fans.
AK-CC55 Single Coil and Single Coil UI Here there are two operational options if data communication should fail: • The light can go ON • The light can stay in its current mode The light load must be connected to the NC terminals on the relay.
AK-CC55 Single Coil and Single Coil UI It can be defined whether humidity control is active during defrost or not. Figure 17: Humidifier control Humidity 100% Humidity diff. Time Humidifier If the humidity gets below the SP, then humidification is started via a DO signal to a humidifier.
