Programming Mode

The Dixell Controller has several advanced programabble features that can be tailired for individual situtations. In most ases, the default values will suit. However, as this is a commercial unit, we recommend programming the Defrost Cycle to a suitable length and interval to avoid ice build up. If ice is allowed to build up inside the compressor housing, this will negatively affect performance and potentially void warranty.

Enter Programming Mode

Adjusting Parameters

Adjust Hysteresis

Hysteresis is the allowed differential from the Set Point Temperature before the compressor (cooling) operates. Thus, if the Set Point Temperature is 2°C and the Hysteresis is 2°C then the compressor will operate when the internal temperature reads 4°C, and it will continue to operate until the Set Point Temperature of 2°C is reached. The default hysteresis is 2°C, which is appropriate for most circumstances.

Note: Decreasing the hysteresis can increase power consumption

To Adjust the Hysteresis [Hy]

  1. The Differential Range can be adjusted between 0.1-25°C or 1-45°F. The default is 4°C

Adjust Minimum Set Point [LS]

  1. The Minimum Set Point can be adjusted down to -55°C or -67°F. The default is 0°C

Adjust Maximum Set Point [US]

  1. The Maximum Set Point can be adjusted up to 99°C or °F. The default is 10°C

Temperature Probe Calibration [ot]

If there is a large variance between the displayed temperature (IE the temperature of the internal temperature probe and the actual internal temperature of the kegerator (as measureed by a calibrated thermometer) then the Temperature Offset can be adjusted from -9.9°C to +9.9°C

A Temperature Offset will offset the displayed temperature by the entered amount.

Thus, if the displayed temperature is 2°C but the actual internal temperature is 4°C, and offset of +2°C is required.

Note: In most cases this is not necessary to be adjusted. There will be minor temperature differences in the kegerator due to airflow etc. This may also be pre-adjusted in the factory.

To Adjust the Temperature Probe Offset [ot]

  1. The Probe Calibration Offset can be adjusted from -9.9°C to +9.9°C. This may be at a value other than 0°C due to factory calibration.

Defrost Cycle Adjustments

The Grand Deluxe 3 range are commercial units. As such, they have very powerful compressors. It is important that an adequate Defrost Cycle is programmed in to ensure that ice does not build up on the cooling fins. Failure to program an adequate defrost cycle can reduce the performance of the unit and may also void warranty.

Defrost Interval (interval between defrost cycles) [id]

  • The Defrost Interval can be adjusted from 0-99 hours. The default is 6

Maximum defrost length [Nd]

  • The Maximum defrost length can be adjusted from 0-99 minutes. The default is 20
