FAQ
1. Does the CRC-1200 support hot-gas defrost?
Yes. Select Defrost Type = Hot Gas (1) for compressor-based defrost.
2. Can I monitor the controller remotely?
Yes. CRC-1200 supports RS485 Modbus RTU for BMS/SCADA integration.
3. Is Quick Freeze mode automatic?
Quick Freeze activates by holding the UP key for 4 seconds and runs for the programmed duration.
4. What happens during a probe failure?
The controller supports Compressor ON modes during probe failure to protect the system.
5. Does the controller have a keypad lock?
Yes. The keypad can be locked to prevent parameter tampering.
