Electronic thermostat control

Type ETC 1H

For simple commercial refrigeration applications

The ETC 1H is introducing a flexible platform

due to onboard micro-controller and software
dedicated product configuration, perfect for
light commercial refrigeration applications.
Standard versions with similar functionality as
the traditional electro-mechanical thermostats
as well as several customized high performance
software versions for various applications are
available.

The ETC 1H is developed for applications such

as:
• Refrigerators
• Bottle coolers
• Freezers
• No-frost freezers with heating element
• Medicine coolers

Electronic thermostat control, type ETC 1H

Features

• ETC 1H can control the cabinet temperature directly

• ETC 1H has low energy consumption
• 1 or 2 sensors (Air, evaporator) and optional remote display can be connected
• Using NTC temperature sensors
• Temperature control independent of barometric pressure
• High accuracy combined with close differentials and narrow tolerances ensures improved control
• Built in timers enhances functionality
• Optional alarm for over or under temperature in both cold and warm
• Auxiliary relays: 5 Amp for heater, fan, light etc. Eventually with delayed start or/and stop
• Under voltage and over voltage compressor protection (brown-out protection)
• Pressure equalisation protection on starting the device or when voltage drops out (blackout protection)
• Diagnostics and self check of sensors and potentiometer
• Several defrosting methods can be handled:
◦ Time controlled defrosting
◦ Time controlled defrosting with evaporator sensor
◦ Temperature controlled defrosting
• Dual band control of outdoor bottle coolers
• Quick Parameter Programming using PC software tool and Gateway
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant compatible relay outputs

and systems, always contact Danfoss prior to initiating the use of any Danfoss products.

• You can have the ETC1H with optional 2 or 3 relays, for controlling heaters, fans etc.
• You can have the ETC1H with standard software or optionally with special customized software for optimized
functionality. Please contact Danfoss regarding this.

Danfoss does not accept any responsibility for ETCs placed in environments outside our design specifications. Use of
the ETCs in such cases must be verified via relevant field-tests, and always remains the responsibility of the buyer.

Danfoss
The controls can be mounted using the nut shown or it can be mounted using 2 screws type EJOT DURO-PT dia. 3 ×
7 mm.

 WARNING:
By using screw types different than the above mentioned, there is a risk of short circuiting the line potential.

 NOTE:
All Danfoss knobs have been designed to sit flush against the housing, relieving the load on the spindle arm.
Maximum mounting force of knob: 60 N. Whenever using non-Danfoss knobs, please ensure that they are mounted
as described above and that the maximum mounting force of knob: 60 N is not exceeded.
