Controller Overview 
The CPC® ESC3 series is an electronic refrigeration controller that provides control of compressor, 
fan and defrost management. The ESC3 provides control of a compressor (or solenoid) valve in re-
sponse to temperature variations. 
 

Temperature control in the ESC3 is accomplished by comparing the temperature reading of the case 
temperature probe against the temperature set point. The compressor output is used to control the 
temperature.  If the temperature is above the temperature set point (LI) + the hysteresis set point (rd), 
the compressor output is turned on. If the temperature is below the temperature set point - the hys-
teresis set point, the compressor output is turned off. 
 

Several setpoints are available that allow the operation of the compressor output to be tailored to 
match individual needs.  
 
Min ON/Off Times and Minimum Cycle Time 
Minimum ON/OFF compressor times can be specified, as well as a minimum time delay between 
compressor cycles. These parameters help prevent short cycling. 
 
Compressor Power On Delay 
Compressor power on delay setpoint (c0) allows the user to specify a delay after the power-up of the 
controller. The compressor output will not come on regardless of the temperature reading until this 
amount of time has expired. 
 
Compressor Safety Cycle 
The Compressor Safety Cycle setpoint (c4) specifies a cycle time that the compressor is to be cycled 
if the temperature sensor used for control fails.  If this setpoint is 0, the compressor will be off.  If this 
setpoint is 100, the compressor will be on. Any value between 1 and 99 will result in the compressor 
being on for that period of time. At the end of this time, the compressor will be shut off for approxi-
mately 15 minutes.
