Xrb06Cx: Digital Controller With Advanced Energy Saving Management
DIGITAL CONTROLLER WITH ADVANCED activation during the day. It is possible to set two different algorithms (ErA=bAS or Aut). They differ
for the used sensor and for the total length of the interval of time involved.
ENERGY SAVING MANAGEMENT 4.2 BASIC ENERGY SAVING ALGORITHM – ErA=bAS
XRB06CX
This will be used when ErA=bAS. The energy saving status will be always saved in the internal
memory to resume previous operation if a power failure occurs. It needs the presence of a door switch
to work (i1F=dor).

2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRB06CX, 32x74x60mm format, is a microprocessor based controller suitable for applications
on medium or low temperature ventilated refrigeration units. It has 3 relay outputs to control
compressor, fans and lights. The device is also provided with 3 NTC probe inputs: the first one for
temperature control, the second one to be located onto the evaporator to control the defrost
termination temperature and to manage the fan and the third, optional, to control the condenser 4.3 AUTOMATIC ENERGY SAVING ALGORITHM
temperature. There is also a configurable digital input. By using the HOT-KEY it is possible to program
the instrument in a quick and easy way. This will be used when ErA=Aut. The operations are controlled by using the Aid parameter. After
powering on the device, it automatically starts to analyze the temperature behavior by using the only
room temperature probe. In this way it can build the best energy saving model according to the
3 REGULATION application. The device uses temperature behavior information of the previous Aid interval to manage
The regulation is performed according to the loads during the current period. When Aid is set to use long periods (Aid>1), a day-by-day model
