The Dixell XW60V is a versatile and compact electronic temperature controller designed primarily for commercial and industrial refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning applications. The specific model XW60V 5N0C1 indicates a standard configuration for 230V AC power supply and includes a built-in relay output.
It is known for its reliability, ease of use, and robust feature set in a small form factor, making it a popular choice for OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and system integrators.
Key Features
-
Primary Function: Precise temperature control and monitoring.
-
Display: A clear, easy-to-read 2-digit, 7-segment LED display with status LEDs (Alarm, Compressor, Defrost).
-
Setpoint & Control: Simple configuration via three buttons (Menu, Up, Down). Allows for setting temperature parameters, differentials, and alarm limits.
-
Input: Compatible with NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) temperature sensors. The “N” in the code
5N0C1specifies this. -
Output: Features a SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) relay. The “C” in the code indicates a “Change-over” relay, which can be used to control either a cooling (compressor) or heating device. The relay rating is typically 10A / 250V AC for the XW60 model, making it suitable for directly switching contactors, solenoid valves, or small compressors.
-
Power Supply: The “V” in XW60V and the “5” in the code signify a power supply of 230V AC, 50/60Hz. This is the standard voltage in many parts of the world, including Europe.
-
Defrost Function: Can be programmed for various defrost types (Off, Electric, Gas) with configurable duration and termination criteria (by time or by temperature).
-
Alarms: Configurable alarms for high temperature, low temperature, sensor failure, and defrost failure, with a dedicated LED indicator.
-
Hysteresis & Anti-Short Cycle Delay: Adjustable differential to prevent rapid cycling of the compressor and a programmable delay to protect the compressor after shutdown.
Typical Applications
The XW60V is ideal for controlling:
-
Commercial Refrigeration: Display cases, walk-in coolers, bottle coolers, ice cream conservators.
-
Air Conditioning Systems: Simple on/off control for fan coils or small packaged units.
-
Heat Pumps: Basic heating and cooling cycle control.
-
Industrial Process Cooling: Control of chilled water systems or process cooling equipment.
-
Heating Applications: Control of electric heaters in air handling units or storage heaters.
Model Code Breakdown: XW60V 5N0C1
Decoding the part number helps understand its exact configuration:
-
XW60: The base model series.
-
V: Denotes the product version/series.
-
5: Power Supply:
5= 230V AC (-15% / +10%) -
N: Sensor Type:
N= NTC Sensor -
0: Output Type:
0= 1 SPDT (Change-over) Relay output (10A / 250V~ Resistive) -
C1: Probe & Housing:
C1= Typically refers to a standard NTC probe with a specific cable length and housing (e.g., 2m cable).
