Introduction
This technical brochure will give you a short introduction to
the AK-PC 551 pack controller� With an application example, it
is shown how easy the controller is congured and operated
through the graphical display�
The AK-PC 551 is a pack controller for 1 or 2 suction groups of
compressors and a common condenser�
AK-PC 551 supports a variety of compressor combinations
including variable speed, Digital scroll and Stream 4 cylinder
compressors� Additionally it oers a large number of energy
saving functions and optimization features�
AK-PC 551 can be fully congured through a LCD display� The LCD
display can be built in and/or be a remote connected display�
AK-PC 551 has a compact size of 8 DIN modules� All inputs and
outputs can be congured for a variety of functions making the
controller highly adaptable to any pack application�
AK-PC 551 can be connected into a MODBUS communication
network and is available with 24 Vac or 110-230 Vac power supply�
Applications
AK-PC 551 is used for capacity control of compressors and
condenser fans on small to medium sized refrigeration
systems� It covers the following main applications:
• One compressor group (max� 8 relays) and one condenser
group
• Two compressor groups (max� 4 relays per group) and a
common condenser

Introduction
Compressor combinations
The compressor capacity can be controlled according to the
suction pressure Po or a media temperature sensor S4�
AK-PC 551 covers a variety of compressor combinations�
Inputs and outputs
All in- and outputs of an AK-PC 551 controller can be congured
for various functions and signal types:
• 8 analogue inputs for pressure transmitters and temperature
sensors�
• 6 digital relay outputs for compressors, fans, alarm�
• 2 digital solid state outputs for PWM control of Digital scroll
or Stream compressor� If not used for this purpose they can
be used as normal relay outputs�
• 2 analogue outputs for speed control of compressors and
condenser fans�
Speed control of all fans Step control of all fans
Condenser combinations
The condenser capacity can be controlled according to the
condensing pressure Pc or a media temperature sensor S7
The condenser can be controlled in two ways:
• Speed control of all fans
• Step control of single fans

Conguration
After installation the controller must be congured for an
application� Once power is applied to the controller, the "Power
on" screen will appear�
Use one of the three options to congure the controller:
• Setup wizard
• Quick configuration
• Parametric setup
Setup wizard
Setup wizard is a step by step up and running guideline, setting
up inputs and outputs automatically�
Quick conguration
Quick conguration is a series of precongured applications,
setting up inputs and outputs automatically�
Parametric setup
Parametric setup is for the expert user, who wants to set each
parameter individually, adjust or netune settings�
First time start up
Quick start
Power on screen
Press ENTER for 2 sec�
and enter password (300)
to access quick start
