Hussmann Safe-Net III User's Guide
Defrost Controller
USER INSTRUCTIONS
Your refrigerated case uses a Hussmann Safe-NETTM III temperature and
defrost controller to precisely maintain the temperature and prevent frost
buildup on the cooling coil. LEDs indicate when the compressor or
refrigeration is on, when the case is in a defrost cycle, if the temperature is
outside the desired range, or if there is a sensor failure. An adjustment knob
allows the temperature to be set within the configured range and can power
off the controller and compressor. Your controller has been custom-configured
to provide the best temperature and defrost control for your chilled or frozen
food.
The front of the controller has an adjustment knob and status LEDs. The back
of the controller has connections for sensors and switched equipment.

The Safe-NET III controller includes the following features and connections.
• Adjustment knob:
Adjusts the temperature setpoint.
May include an Off Position to turn off the controller, refrigeration, and
defrost heat and fan.
See Your Case Configuration on page 7.

Display
The display includes three red LEDs and two digits for temperature, defrost
status, and error codes.
The three display LEDs are red, and their behavior matches the LEDs on the
controller.
Startup
1. Plug in the case.
WARNING: The Off Position does not disconnect line voltage to the case,
refrigeration unit, fan, or heater.
2. Wait for the self check to complete. During the self check, each LED
flashes for one second, then all LEDs turn on for two seconds. If the
LEDs do not flash, make sure the adjustment knob is not in the Off
position. (See Your Case Configuration on page 7 for Off position
functionality.)
• After the self check, all LEDs turn off until the compressor starts.
There may be a delay before the compressor starts.
If the red Temperature or Sensor Alarm LED stays on after the self
check, see Alarms and Codes on page 4.
• The green Compressor Powered On LED turns on when the
compressor starts.
Temperature Adjustment
Rotate the adjustment knob counter clockwise for a warmer setpoint or
clockwise for a colder setpoint.
• While you are adjusting the temperature, the optional display shows the
setpoint (cut out value). A few seconds after you set the temperature, it
reverts to showing the sensed temperature in the case.

Alarms and Codes
Flashing Temperature or Sensor Alarm LED, E1 or E2
If the Temperature or Sensor Alarm LED (red) on the controller and display is
flashing, a temperature sensor has failed. The display shows E1 if the case
sensor has failed or E2 if the evaporator sensor has failed. (See Alarms and
Codes on page 7.)

B. The defrost initiation may be delayed for as long as 2 minutes after step
3 is completed.
The display will show “dF” once step 3 is completed, even with the protective
delay timing out. The “dF” will display for a while after defrost has terminated,
to allow the temperature to stabilize.
CAUTION: Return the control knob to its original setting (Step 1) once
the manual defrost has been initiated.
Note: The above procedure can be easily performed through the display

interface cable, using the addition of a jumper to adapt the connection
to the copy card.
* At Step 2 above:
Disconnect the cable from the rear of the display module and attach it
to the copy card using the jumper. Proceed with Step 3 through Step 7.
