Instead of checking individual refrigeration controllers one by one, the AK-SM platform can provide centralized access to system information, alarms, history and supervisory functions.
⭐ Current AK-SM 800A Series
The AK-SM 800A is the current-generation Danfoss System Manager platform. It uses an updated electronics and operating-system architecture with enhanced web access, security and system-management capabilities.
AK-SM 820A – Convenience Store System Manager
AK-SM 820A is designed primarily for convenience-store applications where refrigeration, HVAC and lighting management are required.
| Model | Danfoss Code | Application | Display |
|---|---|---|---|
| AK-SM 820A | 080Z4024 | Convenience Store – Refrigeration / HVAC / Lighting | Display & Touchscreen |
| AK-SM 820A | 080Z4044 | Convenience Store – Variant without LonWorks® | Display & Touchscreen |
Communication options depend on the exact configuration and include technologies such as Ethernet, Modbus RS485 and supported Danfoss control networks.
AK-SM 850A – Refrigeration System Manager
AK-SM 850A is the refrigeration-focused version of the System Manager and is particularly relevant for supermarkets and commercial refrigeration installations.
| Model | Danfoss Code | Application |
|---|---|---|
| AK-SM 850A | 080Z4021 | Refrigeration including lighting |
| AK-SM 850A – No Wi-Fi | 080Z4022 | Refrigeration including lighting – no Wi-Fi variant |
| AK-SM 850A | 080Z4041 | Refrigeration – variant without LonWorks® |
This is a strong choice when the primary requirement is centralized refrigeration supervision, monitoring, alarms, data collection and lighting management rather than full-store HVAC management.
AK-SM 880A – Full Store System Manager
AK-SM 880A is the full-store version, combining refrigeration management with HVAC and lighting control functionality.
| Model | Danfoss Code | Application |
|---|---|---|
| AK-SM 880A | 080Z4028 | Full Store – Refrigeration / HVAC / Lighting |
| AK-SM 880A TP78 | 080Z4029 | Retrofit Full Store – Refrigeration / HVAC / Lighting |
| AK-SM 880A | 080Z4048 | Full Store – Variant without LonWorks® |
AK-SM 880A is intended for applications requiring a broader store-management platform rather than refrigeration-only supervision.
