Temperature and

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.

1
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.

WARNING: The optional evaporator fan remains ON when the


adjustment knob is in the Off position.
• Controller LEDs:

Compressor Powered On LED (green):


Lights while the compressor is running or the refrigeration valve
is open.

Defrost Cycle LED (yellow):


Lights while the refrigeration coil is defrosting.

Temperature or Sensor Alarm (red):


Lights if the temperature is too warm or too cold.
Flashes if a sensor fails.
See Alarms and Codes on page 7.
• Rear connections:
– Case temperature sensor:
Typically senses the temperature of the air in the case.
Used by the controller to determine when to power on or power off
the compressor or refrigeration.
– Evaporator temperature sensor:
Senses the temperature of the refrigeration coil.
Terminates a defrost cycle when refrigeration coil ice melts.
– Compressor or refrigeration relay:
Switches on the compressor or refrigeration valve for cooling.
– Defrost relay:
The Safe-NET III controller includes a defrost relay that switches on
the optional evaporator fan during normal operation and switches on
the defrost heater during a defrost cycle.

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.)

If the case sensor fails, depending on the configuration of your controller,


refrigeration will run continuously, turn off, or repeat a duty cycle of a few
minutes on and a few minutes off. The graph below shows an example of duty
cycle operation during a case sensor failure.

Defrost Termination Switch


Your case may use a defrost termination switch, instead of an evaporator
sensor, to terminate a defrost cycle. The defrost termination switch is
temperature activated and senses the completion of defrost. Your Case
Configuration on page 7 shows whether your case includes a defrost
termination switch.

setting. counterclockwise until before 30 seconds,
it stops (full warm – rotate knob fully
“OFF” position). clockwise until it stops
(full cold position).

Note: The above procedure initiates a manual or forced defrost.


The control has protective settings to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
A. The compressor may run for as long as 1 minute after step 2 is
completed. Start the 10 second count down, for step 3, once the display
is blank.

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.

Evaporator Fan Delay


On low temperature models, an evaporator fan delay is incorporated to delay
the fan operation until the evaporator is below its setpoint temperature,
following a defrost cycle.
On some low temperature models, the evaporator fan is briefly cycled to
dissipate the presence of vapor during the defrost cycle.

Service Procedures (for service personnel only)


Installing a configuration file into a controller from a copy card
The copy card allows service personnel to update the configuration of
a controller.

CAUTION: This procedure must be followed exactly or the controller


may be damaged.
1. Disconnect power to the case (the controller must be powered off).
*2. Connect the copy card to the controller.

3. Make sure the adjustment knob is not in the Off position.


4. To start the installation, reconnect power to the case (the controller
should be powered on).
a. During the file transfer, both LEDs on the copy card turn on.
b. When the data transfer has completed, the green LED remains on
and the red LED turns off.
c. If the red LED remains on and the green LED is off, the transfer failed.
d. If the transfer fails, repeat step 1 through step 4. If it fails again, use
a different copy card or controller.
5. Disconnect power to the case (the controller is powered off).
6. Disconnect the copy card from the controller.
7. Reconnect power to the case (the controller is powered on).

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.

Wiring Examples

WARNING: Before wiring the controller, make sure that the


refrigeration unit, fan, heater, and controller are not
connected to the electrical supply. Do not apply voltage to
the digital input.
