The purpose of this guide is to explain in detail all information regarding elstat controllers including the user interface, para- meters, accessories and troubleshooting. Complimentary information is also available from elstat such as accessory lists, accessory data sheets and single sheet user guides.
Unlike mechanical thermostats, the ems self-learning technology ensures the product is at the optimum serving tem- perature required by the customer from the moment the outlet opens. The ems55 series is available with an integrated motion sensor - ems55advanced, and with out and integrated motion sensor - ems55Radvanced...
An appropriate level of protection must be given for the effects of water ingress due to condensation, product spillage, and so on. ems55 series controllers are designed for panel mounting and are secured using four self-tapping screws in the screw holes at each corner of the fascia. ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 8 of 84...
Water ingress – advisory information for FMEA analysis Elstat products have been designed to minimise any risks associated with water ingress and all controllers are IPX5 certified. The OEM or installer is responsible to ensure that local/country laws and regulatory requirements are met.

See "condenser high temperature (Ht)" on page 76 For example, fix using a metal pipe clip or direct fitting, as shown below. Elstat can supply pipe clips for 6-8mm and 8-10mm pipes. Caution: Do not use cable ties.
Do not use cable ties. The head of the sensor is fragile and can be easily damaged. Using cable ties to secure the sensor head, or sensor cable, invalidates the warranty. ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 15 of 84...
Caution: Door switches and activators supplied by elstat must not be installed using rivets. Using rivets invalidates the warranty. The alignment of the door switch and activator is critical for the correct operation of the door switch. The following table details alignment tolerances.
Caution: Door switch kits supplied by elstat must not be installed using rivets. Using rivets invalidates the warranty. The alignment of the door switch and activator is critical for the correct operation of the door switch. The table below details the alignment tolerances.
The diagram below shows the horizontal, vertical, and gap alignment between the door switch and the activator for open and closed doors. For best results, elstat recommends that enhanced door switches are used with enhanced door switch activators. Per- formance will not be guaranteed if: enhanced activators are paired with current door switches enhanced door switches are paired with current activators.
For example, people opening and closing the cooler door to retrieve products or movements detected in front of the cooler. ems controllers detect activity as follows: ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 19 of 84...
The ems controller runs the compressor until the set point (S P) temperature is reached. The compressor is then stopped until the measured temperature reaches the set point (S P) plus differential (dI F) temperature. ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 20 of 84...

The compressor rest time (rt) helps to avoid the following: passing peak current through the windings of the compressor motor switching off the refrigeration system on the thermal overload protection short-cycling the refrigeration system. ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 24 of 84...
PF2 alarms may also indicate a problem with the gas cooler high temperature sensor when the cooler is a CO2 (R744) version. An ems55advanced CO2controller will alternate between PF2 and the gas cooler temperature sensor temperature.
For alarm conditions, the ems controller displays the appropriate alarm code and, optionally, sounds an alarm buzzer. Buzzer enable (b0) defines whether to sound a warning buzzer for alarm conditions. ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 26 of 84...

The ems controller then continues to run in the ready mode for the remainder of the 7 day learning period whilst updating the self-learning matrix. At the end of the 7 day learning period, the ems controller has a complete self-learning matrix as shown in the following example matrix: ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 30 of 84...
Therefore, at the end of day 1, (first 24 hours), the ems controller has set all the 30 minutes to ready (2) or saving (0) depend- ing the outlet activity pattern as shown in the example matrix: ems55advanced and ems55Radvanced / General Use 31 of 84...
