ERC 102 Reference manual 3

1. INTRODUCTION
The ERC 102 is an electronic refrigeration controller with an LED display especially developed for bottle
coolers and commercial fridges and freezers. It is particularly suited for OEM customers where time, easy and
reliable installation and high quality need to go hand in hand with flexibility.
The latest generation CPU, plenty of memory and high-end electronic components allow for a uniquely
versatile software. Three separate password-protected user levels can be used to control more than 200
different parameters to fit all individual requirements.
ERC 102’s IP rated body, advanced materials and internationally approved hardware design open it up for use
in almost any climate globally, indoors as well as outdoors.
Laboratory work with ERC 102 is rendered easy and flexible. Danfoss KoolProg software with a USB-powered
gateway accelerate programming; on the OEM assembly line, just one Danfoss unique Docking station can
easily program up to 3,000 controllers a day – at zero inventory cost.
It uses a globally-compatible, lightweight, switch mode power supply.

All components have been carefully selected to help reduce the CO2 footprint. The globally-compatible
internal power supply uses an average of just 0.7W – 4 times less than an average controller today.
Sensors include ambient light for display brightness, which also detect shop opening hours for
energy-saving routines. Door and temperature sensors provide input for controlling the compressor,
the light, the fan and automatic defrosting.

2. CONTENT OF THE BOX
If delivered in a sample box the following content

is shipped. The sample box is not available for other
than sample purposes.
See Appendix II for code numbers and lengths.

For box lots (pcs per box), please contact your local
Danfoss representative.
2. 1 Main product
ERC 102 control unit without front frame.
NOTE: The front frame is included in the sample box.
2.2 Accessories
Control temperature sensor: see Appendix II for
different lengths and connector types.
Defrost temperature sensor: should be mounted on

the evaporator. For detailed mounting instructions,
please contact your local Danfoss representative.
NOTE: Defrost sensors can also be used as condenser

sensors.
Condenser temperature sensor: should be

mounted on the condenser. For detailed
mounting instructions, please contact your
local Danfoss representative.
NOTE: This sensor is not included in the sample box .

Defrost sensors can also be used as condenser
sensors.
ERC 102 Reference manual – 2 CONTENT OF THE BOX 5

Door sensor connector cable: please see Appendix II
for lengths and code numbers.
NOTE: Door sensor: is optional and is a connector

and cable with spade terminals compatible with door
contacts used in refrigeration applications.
Light sensor: is optional and is used to measure the

level of ambient light around the cabinet so
that night and day (Economy / Normal) modes
of operation can automatically be set, as well
as the brightness of the display.
Power plug: for laboratory use, low quantity

OEM production or whenever spade connectors are
not available.
Clips: are used to secure the ERC 102 in place in

the case of rear mounting. They are not used with
front mounting. There are two identical clips, one
placed on either side of the ERC 102. See Chapter 4
– Mounting – for further details.

2.3 Connections
Programming an individual unit in a laboratory:
the USB gateway requires KoolProg Software
running on a PC. It enables parameters to be set in
real time and an array of status information to be
read (bidirectional connection). This method is used
to determine the correct parameters during R&D.
Once the desired settings have been determined,

a KoolProg ERC specific parameter file is saved to the
EKA183 USB copy key for later mass programming.
The USB Gateway is a laboratory tool, offering fast

and easy programming of any ERC102 controller.
KoolProg software installation is provided;
the gateway is standard inventory for OEM labs.
Mass programming on an assembly line:

the docking station is used for high volume
programming of ERC controllers, for example
on an assembly line. The docking station is a
write-only device.
See above (Programming an individual unit) for

preparing the EKA183 USB copy key, which is to
be inserted into the docking station. The settings
are then loaded into each successive controller
in a matter of seconds.
KoolProg software is not required for mass

programming.
Note: please refer to the koolprog manual for more

details about programming.
KoolProg: is the software from Danfoss for

programming the ERC 102 via a USB cable and
a PC rather than with the front panel buttons.
Please refer to the KoolProg manual for details.

APPENDIX V: APPLICATION SPECIFICATON
V.1 Control sensor

The control sensor must always be connected and
is used for controlling the cut-in and cut-out of the
compressor according to the set-point. The sensor is
also used for the displayed temperature.
Placement of sensor:
Vertical coolers with fan

Most common placement is in the return air to the
evaporator. The sensor can be placed close to the
fan – even when the fan is pulsed during compres-
sor off periods: The updating of the temperature is
blocked when the fan is stopped and only updated
when the fan has been running for a while, so that
the heat from the fan does not affect the tempera-
ture reading.
For applications sensitive to sub-zero temperatures,
sensor placement in the evaporator outlet air can be
considered.
Vertical freezers with fan

Placement in the return air or in the freezer
compartment
Coolers without fan

the best results are normally obtained when the
sensor is placed at the side-wall, 10 cm from the
back and approximately at 1/3 from the bottom or
where the evaporator ends.
The control sensor must always be connected and
is used for controlling the cut-in and cut-out of the
compressor according to the set-point. The sensor is
also used for the displayed temperature.
ERC 102 Reference manual – APPENDIX V: APPLICATION SPECIFICATION 57

V.2 Evaporator sensor
The evaporator sensor is only used for de-icing of
the evaporator and has no control purpose.
Place the sensor where the ice melts last.
Please be aware of that sharp finns can damage the
cable.
V.3 Condenser sensor

The condenser sensor is used to protect the com-
pressor against high pressure when the condenser is
blocked or the condenser fan fails.
Place the sensor at the liquid side of the condenser.
Use a metal bracket or metal tape to ensure good
thermal conductivity. Be sure that the cable does not
pass hot spots at the compressor or condenser that
exceeds 80°C.
58 ERC 102 Reference manual – APPENDIX V: APPLICATION SPECIFICATION

V.4 Ambient light sensor
The ambient light sensor is used to detect opening
hours of the shop.
The sensor must be placed so that the interior light
does not affect the sensor.
Possible placement could be in the front of the
cooler or at the top.
V.5 Door sensor

The door sensor is used to detect buying activity and
to stop the fan when the door is opened.
Danfoss does not supply the door-switch. Use the

door-switch you have and connect it to the cable
supplied by Danfoss.

• Make sure that the accessory you select has a matching connector to the input, e.g. a sensor for input S2 must

• Condenser sensor or light sensor are optional and can be omitted.
• Defrost sensor is mandatory when electrical heater is used for defrost. For natural defrost it can be omitted.
