This Quick Start up section is designed to get you up and running with the minimum of fuss. Just follow these 5 simple steps.
STEP 1 | Install the UniversalR, connect the correct number of probes and connect the wiring See below: 1. Table 1: parametertC settings 2. Section 5: Typical connections | |
STEP 2 | Turn on power, THEN WITHIN 1 MINUTE COMPLETE STEPS 3, 4 AND 5. | |
STEP 3 | Press the “DOWN” keyfor 3 seconds and the controller will automatically recognise and adjust itself to the type of probe connected. (The display briefly shows tPd followed by ntC or PtC). | |
STEP 4 | Press the “AUX/tc” key for 3 seconds and the setting of parameter tC is displayed. Use the UP or DOWN keys to adjust to required setting then confirm by pressing SET (see table 1 below). | |
STEP 5 | Press SET for 3 seconds until the °C or °F icon starts to flash, then adjust the SET POINT using the UP or DOWN keys, then press SET again to confirm. |
Notes:
1. All probes must be of the same type, either PTC or NTC;
2. Probes must be at between 50 to 60°C for auto recognition to work;
3. If 1 minute expires before you have completed quick set up, either turn OFF / On power to start set up again or enter parameter as per the instructions and adjust your parameter settings manually (see Section 9).

Accessibility of any particular parameter via Pr1 level is confirmed by the alarm LED lighting up while its label is displayed.
WARNING: If no button is pressed for 15 sec, any modified value will be stored into memory and the controller will return to the normal display mode.
As well as the main digital display, there are some small icons on the front panel. These are used to monitor the loads controlled by the instrument. Each icon function is described in the following table.
Display signalling description
ICON | FUNCTION | MEANING |
---|---|---|
ON | Light (AUX) output enabled. | |
ON | Cooling enabled | |
FLASHING | Antishort cycle delay in progress. | |
ON | Fan enabled. | |
FLASHING | Delay time on fan activation is running (Fnd > 0). | |
ON | Defrost in progress. | |
FLASHING | Drip time in progress (Fdt > 0) or delay on start defrosting is running (dSd > 0). | |
ON | Auxiliary output activated. | |
ON | Energy Saving activated. | |
ON | Thermostat overide enabled. | |
ON | ALARM signal: When in programming mode and in Pr2 level, this lights up notifying this parameter is also accessible in the Pr1 level. | |
ON | All measurement units are in Celsius degrees. | |
FLASHING | Programming mode. | |
ON | All measurement units are in Fahrenheit degrees. | |
FLASHING | Programming mode. |
For rapid chilling or freezing, the thermostat can be overridden by pressing the UP button until the icon lights up. The compressor will run in continuous mode, irrespective of temperature, for the time period set in parameter CCt. Normal operation will then resume automatically. The cycle can also be terminated manually by pressing the UP button again for about 3 seconds.
tC parameter value | Action |
1 or 7 | No defrost. |
2 | Off cycle defrost by timer. |
3, 4, 5 or 6 | Forced type of defrost: Electrical or Hot Gas. |
tdF = 0: Defrost is electrical. tdF = 1: Defrost is by hot gas.
The fan control mode is selected by means of the “FnC” parameter
FnC parameter value | Action |
0 | Fans will cycle ON and OFF with the compressor and be off during defrost cycle. |
1 | Fans will run continuously, but be off during defrost cycle. |
2 | Will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and be on during defrost cycle (*). |
3 | Fans will run continuously and be on during defrost cycle (*). |
(*) Note: Fans will stop if the temperature value set in parameter “FSt” is exceeded.
Parameter FSt sets the fan stop temperature. This is the maximum temperature, detected by the evaporator probe, above which the evaporator fans will stop. Leave FSt above ambient temperature during commissioning to avoid fan short cycle. After finishing the defrost phase, there is a stand still drain time, set by parameter Fdt. When this period has expired, the refrigeration cycle commence but the evaporator fans remain off until Fnd (fan delay) times out.
DEAD BAND CONTROL (COOLING & HEATING)
With [oAC = 1], the compressor relay controls cooling as normal but the 4th (auxillary) relay is used to control a heater. The value entered in parameter HY will now be set equal on both sides of the SET POINT. Example: If [HY = 1°C] that will create a 2°C Dead Band. At [SET POINT + HY], cooling switches on. At [SET POINT HY], heating switches on. Either cooling or heating switch off when temperature returns to SET POINT.

bAL | Alternative with room temperature | Serious external alarm | Alarm output ON; Other outputs OFF. |
MUTING ALARM BUZZER & RELAY
The alarm buzzer can be muted, by pressing any button. The controller will briefly show the reset “rES” label. Parameter tbA defines
how the alarm relay will respond to the muting of the buzzer. tbA = 0: The alarm relay will remain active until the alarm condition is rectified. tbA = 1: The alarm relay deactivates when the buzzer is muted.
In either case, the display will flash an alarm label until the condition is rectified.
ALARM “EE”
The Dixell UniversalR is provided with an internal watchdog verifying data and memory integrity. Alarm “EE” will flash after detecting a failure in data or in the internal memory. In this case, the alarm output is enabled. WHAT TO DO
1. Cancel the alarm by pressing a button.
2. Check the value of the parameters and restore correct values when wrong.
3. Check the correct instrument operation and in case of further errors replace it.
ALARM RECOVERY
Probe alarms “P1”, “P2” and “P3” start 30 seconds after a fault in probe is detected; they automatically stop 30 seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the probe. Temperature alarms “HA” and “LA” automatically stop as soon as the thermostat temperature returns to normal values and when defrost starts. Temperature alarms “HA2” and “LA2” automatically stop as soon as the condenser temperature returns to normal values.
It is possible to allow access to any parameter from Pr1 level. To do this, go into Pr2 as previously described. Scroll to the label of the parameter you require and then press the SET and DOWN buttons in quick succession. The decimal point LED will be on indicating that access to this particular parameter is now possible from Pr1 level. Its label will now appear when in Pr1 programming level and its value can be altered. To restore security level protection, use the same procedure (the decimal point LED will go out after pressing both buttons).
The UniversalR should be mounted in a panel, in a 29 x 71 mm hole, and fixed using the special brackets supplied. Ambient temperature for correct operation is 0 to 50°C. Avoid places subject to strong vibrations, corrosive gases, excessive dirt of humidity (20 to 85% noncondensing RH is the recommended working range). Make sure air can freely circulate through the cooling holes slots at the rear side of the controller.
The instrument is provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross section up to 2.5 mm2. Before connecting cables make sure the power supply complies with the instrument’s requirements. Separate the probe cables from the power supply cables, from the outputs and from the power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current rating for each relay; in case of heavier loads use suitable external relay.
It is recommended to place the thermostat probe away from rapid air streams to correctly measure the average room temperature. Place the defrost termination probe among the evaporator fins in the coldest place, where most ice is formed, far from heaters or from the warmest place during defrost, to prevent premature defrost termination.

NdS | (Maximum) length for second defrost: (0 to 255min) when P3P = 0, (not evaporator probe: timed defrost) it sets the defrost duration, when P3P = 1 (defrost end based on temperature) it sets the maximum length for defrost. Note: the P3 probe will be automatically set as second evaporator probe by the tC parameter. |
dtS | Second termination temperature: (55 to 50°C or 67 to 122°F) sets the temperature measured by the second evaporator probe (P3), that causes the end of the defrost. |

dLy | Display delay: (0 ÷ 20min 0sec; resolution 10sec) when the temperature increases, the display is updated 1°C or 1°F after this time. |
CH | Type of action: 0 = Cooling; 1 = Heating. |
Con | Compressor ON time with faulty probe: (0 to 255min) if there is a P1 probe failure the controller will automatically cycle the compressor On/Off according to the Con & CoF to maintain basic cooling. Con is the compressor “ON” time. |
CoF | Compressor OFF time with faulty probe: (0 to 255min) if there is a P1 probe failure the controller will automatically cycle the compressor On/Off according to the Con & CoF to maintain basic cooling. CoF is the compressor “OFF” time. |
tbA | Alarm muting: 0 = Alarm relay remains active when the alarm buzzer is muted; 1 = Alarm relay is cancelled when the alarm buzzer is muted. |
d iC | Digital input operating mode: configures the digital input function: 0 = Starts a defrost; 1 = Input from a door switch (see parameter odC); 2 = Activates the auxiliary relay; 3 = Starts energy saving (Control Point becomes Set Point +/value in HES); 4 = Remote On/Off (puts the controller into standby); 5 = Generic external alarm (normal regulation continues); 6 = Serious external alarm (regulation is stopped). |
d iP | Configurable digital input polarity: 0 = The digital input is activated by closing the circuit; 1 = The digital input is activated by opening the circuit. |
i2F | Second digital input operating mode: configures the second digital input function: 0 = Starts a defrost; 1 = Input from a door switch (see parameter odC); 2 = Activates the auxiliary relay; 3 = Starts energy saving (Control Point becomes Set Point +/value in HES); 4 = Remote On/Off (puts the controller into standby); 5 = Generic external alarm (normal regulation continues); 6 = Serious external alarm (regulation is stopped). |
i2P | Configurable second digital input polarity: 0 = The digital input is activated by closing the circuit; 1 = The digital input is activated by opening the circuit. |
d id | Time interval/delay for digital input 1 alarm: (0 to 255min) it defines the time delay between the detection and the subsequent signalling of the alarm. |
d i2 | Time interval/delay for digital input 2 alarm: (0 to 255min) it defines the time delay between the detection and the subsequent signalling of the alarm. |
odC | Compressor and fan status when open door: 0 = Normal; 1 = Fan OFF; 2= Compressor OFF; 3 = Compressor and fan OFF. |
oAc | Auxiliary relay configuration: 0 = Alarm; 1 = Dead Band; 2 = Auxiliary; 3 = Second compressor output; 4 = Light output; 5 = Second defrost output. |
AoP | Alarm relay polarity: 0 = Contact (13 14) closed with alarm; 1 = Contact (13 14) open with alarm. |
dot | Temperature alarm exclusion with door open: 0 to 255min. |
rrd | Regulation restart with door open alarm: 0 = No; 1 = Yes, regulation will restart after ‘door open’ alarms. |
AL2 | Low temperature alarm of condenser: (55 to 150°C or 67 to 302°F) when this temperature is reached, the HA2 alarm will be raised (after the Ad2 delay time has expired). |
AU2 | High temperature alarm of condenser: (55 to 150°C or 67 to 302°F) when this temperature is reached, the LA2 alarm will be raised (after the Ad2 delay time has expired). |
AH2 | Differential for temperature condenser alarm recovery: 0.1 to 25.5°C or 1 to 45°F. |
Ad2 | Condenser temperature alarm delay: (0 to 255min) time interval between the detection of an alarm condition at the condenser and the relative alarm signalling. |
dA2 | Condenser temperature alarm exclusion during start up: (0 to 720min, resolution 10min). |
bLL | Compressor off when a low temperature alarm of the condenser is active: 0 = The compressor keeps on working if a low temperature alarm at the condenser is active; 1 =The compressor is switched off while the low temperature alarm is active. The regulation will restart after elapsing AC delay time. |
AC2 | Compressor off when a high temperature alarm of the condenser is active: 0 = The compressor keeps on working if a low temperature alarm at the condenser is active; 1 = The compressor is switched off while the low temperature alarm is active. The regulation will restart after elapsing AC delay time. |
HES | Temperature Set Point change during the energy saving cycle: (30.0 to 30.0°C or 54 to 54°F) sets the deviation from the normal Set Point during the energy saving cycle. |
onF | ON/OFF key enabling: 0 = Key functionality disabled; 1 = On/Off function enabled; 2 = Energy saving function enabled. |
bEn | Buzzer enabling: 0 = Disabled; 1 = Enabled. |
Ptb | Parameter table: Read only for factory use. |
