Danfoss Electronic Controller ERC Series



DANFOSS ELECTRONIC REFRIGERATION CONTROL

Danfoss Electronic Controller ERC Series

The Danfoss ERC Series is a range of multipurpose electronic refrigeration controllers designed for precise temperature and defrost management in commercial refrigeration equipment.

With ERC 11x and ERC 21x families available, the range covers applications from bottle coolers and commercial refrigerators to freezers, display cabinets and cold rooms.

ERC 11x ERC 21x Temperature Control Defrost Management Commercial Refrigeration

🌡️ Smart Refrigeration Temperature Control

The Danfoss ERC Electronic Controller Series combines refrigeration temperature control with intelligent system-management functions in a compact electronic controller.

Depending on the selected ERC model and configuration, the controller can manage functions such as compressor operation, temperature regulation, defrost cycles and evaporator fans.

Danfoss ERC controllers are designed for commercial refrigeration equipment where accurate temperature management, efficient operation and straightforward installation are important.

💡 Two Main ERC Families

ERC 11x → Primarily suited to high-volume food-service refrigeration equipment such as bottle coolers, commercial refrigerators, freezers and beer coolers.

ERC 21x → General-purpose commercial refrigeration controller family suitable for applications such as cold rooms, display cabinets, commercial refrigerators and freezers.

🔍 Danfoss ERC 11x vs ERC 21x

ERC 11x FAMILY

ERC 11x Series

Designed particularly for high-volume food-service refrigeration equipment and refrigerated cabinets.

Danfoss ECO™ functionality can provide energy-saving functions such as early wake-up, adaptive defrost and automatic fan control, depending on model and configuration.

Typical applications:
  • Bottle coolers
  • Commercial refrigerators
  • Commercial freezers
  • Beer coolers
  • Refrigerated cabinets
ERC 21x FAMILY

ERC 21x Series

A smart multipurpose controller designed for general commercial refrigeration temperature and defrost management.

ERC 21x supports high-, medium- and low-temperature applications and, depending on the system configuration, natural, electrical and hot-gas defrost.

Typical applications:
  • Cold rooms
  • Glass-door merchandisers
  • Commercial refrigerators
  • Commercial freezers
  • Food-service refrigeration

📘 ERC 11x Series

The ERC 11x family is designed for intelligent refrigeration cabinet control and includes several controller configurations for different equipment requirements.

ERC 111A

Multipurpose electronic refrigeration controller for temperature-management applications.
ERC 112C

ERC 11x controller configuration designed for commercial refrigeration cabinet applications.
ERC 112D

Enhanced ERC 11x refrigeration controller for applications requiring additional control functionality.
ERC 112D VSC

Special ERC version designed for refrigeration equipment using a variable-speed compressor.
ERC 113C / ERC 113D

Higher-function ERC 11x configurations for compatible commercial refrigeration equipment.
⚡ ERC 112D VSC

This specialised ERC controller is designed for bottle coolers, commercial refrigerators and freezers equipped with a variable-speed compressor, supporting more precise and efficient compressor operation.

📗 ERC 21x Series

The ERC 21x range consists of three main controller configurations. The number of relay outputs increases from ERC 211 to ERC 214, allowing the controller to manage progressively more refrigeration functions.

ERC 211

1 Relay Output

Designed for simpler refrigeration or heating applications requiring basic temperature control.
ERC 213

3 Relay Outputs

Suitable for ventilated refrigeration applications requiring additional control of functions such as compressor, defrost and fan.
ERC 214

4 Relay Outputs

Provides additional output capability for more complete ventilated commercial refrigeration control.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🌡️ Temperature Control

Designed for accurate electronic temperature management across a wide range of commercial refrigeration applications.

❄️ Defrost Management

Supports intelligent defrost management, with available functions depending on the selected ERC model and application.

💨 Smart Fan Management

Selected ERC configurations provide intelligent evaporator-fan management to support efficient refrigeration operation.

⚡ Energy Efficiency

Functions such as defrost on demand, ECO operation and smart fan management can help reduce unnecessary refrigeration-system energy consumption.

🛡️ Compressor Protection

Selected ERC controllers include functions designed to protect the compressor against conditions such as power-supply fluctuations and high condensing temperature.

🔧 Easy Configuration

Pre-installed applications and compatibility with multiple sensor types simplify setup and commissioning on applicable ERC models.

⚙️ ERC 21x Control Capability

The ERC 21x family provides a particularly clear progression for customers selecting a commercial refrigeration controller.

ERC 211 — Simple Control

Single relay output for refrigeration and heating applications.

ERC 213 — Ventilated System

Three relay outputs provide additional control possibilities for compressor/solenoid valve, defrost and evaporator fan.

ERC 214 — Extended Control

Four relay outputs provide additional flexibility for more complete ventilated refrigeration applications.
💡 Easy ERC 21x Selection

Basic temperature control? → ERC 211

Need compressor + defrost + fan control? → ERC 213

Need an additional control output? → ERC 214

🏪 Typical Applications

🧊 Cold Rooms

Temperature and defrost management for compatible commercial cold-room refrigeration systems.

🥤 Bottle Coolers

ERC 11x controllers are particularly suited to bottle-cooler and beverage refrigeration applications.

❄️ Commercial Freezers

🚪 Glass-Door Merchandisers

ERC 21x controllers can be used in compatible glass-door merchandising refrigeration systems.

🍺 Beer & Beverage Coolers

ERC 11x provides intelligent control options for beverage and beer-cooling equipment.

🎯 How to Select the Correct ERC Controller

The correct ERC model should be selected according to the refrigeration equipment and required control functions rather than by physical appearance alone.

1️⃣ Application

Identify whether the controller will be used for a cold room, bottle cooler, refrigerator, freezer, display cabinet or other refrigeration equipment.

2️⃣ Required Outputs

Determine how many functions must be controlled, such as compressor, defrost, evaporator fan, lighting or alarm.

3️⃣ Sensor Configuration

Confirm the type and number of temperature or digital-input sensors required.

4️⃣ Defrost Method

Check whether the system uses natural, electric or hot-gas defrost where applicable.

5️⃣ Supply Voltage

Verify the required controller supply voltage before ordering.

6️⃣ Existing Part Number

For replacement applications, provide the complete Danfoss ERC model and code number whenever possible.
⚠️ Important: Different versions of the same ERC model can have different supply voltages, sensor configurations, relay arrangements, programming and Danfoss code numbers. Always verify the complete Danfoss code number before replacing an existing controller.
