Universal-R upgraded to version 3.0

January 2005

Dixell have introduced an updated version 3.0 of their popular Universal-R controller, designed as a universal service replacement for all common 32 x 74 mm format controllers.

Since this cut-out dimension first became the common standard for electronic refrigeration controllers, the range of brands and models that a service engineer can encounter has increased and multiplied dramatically. As a result, sourcing the correct service replacement can be difficult and time consuming.

The v3.0 Universal-R offers a convenient and versatile solution, able to operate as an on/off refrigeration thermostat (now for heating too), or a combined thermostat/defrost control with off-cycle defrost, time initiated/time terminated defrost, or time initiated/temperature terminated defrost, and also offering the option of fan delay on termination.

It also includes an audible/visual high & low temperature alarm plus a volt free relay that can be configured for alarms/auxiliary or dead band control. In addition its digital input can be configured for external alarms, door switch, energy saving, remote on/off etc.

The v3.0 now automatically recognises what type of sensor (PTC or NTC) it is connected to, and allows fast and easy programming via a direct access 'smart parameter'. Its versatility now allows it to replace over 100 different models of refrigeration controller.

The order code for the Universal-R is DIXL042.
