Conductors
The two wires are looped from device to device. There are no
polarisation requirements. (On some controllers, the clamps are
designated A and B. On others there is no designation. Otherwise
the connections are identical.) If a screen is used, it must be
connected to the system device and any repeaters. A screen must
always be looped from device to device.
The screen must not be connected to anything else.
(The screen is earthed inside the screen and must not be earthed
in any other way.)

Limitations: Whilst the wizard will layout the Pack and Case
relationships, further controller configuration may be required.
Refer to section 6 under ‘ Configuration’ for guidance on
any remaining configuration areas required. Currently the wizard
is intended for Pack and Case devices and HVAC devices, any con-
trols not designated as such will have to be configured using
traditional config methods (see Configuration section).

will then send your configuration layout to the AK-SM. During
this time a progress bar will be shown and finally a status
dialogue box.
Important limitations
The copy wizard is currently not designed to fully support the
Danfoss AK2 platform of devices (i.e. AK-PC 781, AK-CC 750..) since
these devices have a different framework than other Danfoss
controllers. When using the copy wizard in an on-line environ-
ment (connect to active controller network) the copy wizard will
only allow ‘Alarms and History’ points to be set and copied. For
full configuration of AK2 device parameters Danfoss recommends
using the available Service Tool to facilitate commissioning on
these device types.
Please note that the copy function will only work against same
device, application/code type and is not designed to fully
support Danfoss AK2 style controllers.
Preparation
Online Configuration
For onsite (online) commissioning, the copy wizard assumes all
relevant controller devices are installed on the network, have
correct addressing, and if relevant application type set. Naming
of the asset will also help in the copy wizard due to easy recogni-
tion of your devices. The ‘Layout wizard’ can assist in this
preliminary task.

Danfoss system prior to getting connected to the AK-SM800
series (i.e. AKA Gateway/SM720).
Change the parameter to YES and a scan will be initiated, the
alarm route in AK2 will be reset, and your AK2 devcie(s) will now
have valid alarm routing.
The AK-SM utilizes an Alarm Action Matrix that allows a high
degree of flexibility for various alarm routing options. At the heart
of the alarm configuration is the ‘Alarm Routing’ page, where dif-
ferent routing options can be defined, along with time delays and
alarm output stop conditions.

This section will discuss rail heat control, schedules, HVAC, and
lighting. Please refer to this section when configuring more
advanced areas of your AK-SM.
Rail Heat
The AK-SM can be used to manage the energy output to the case
trim heaters (Rail Heat). There are different ways to approach
the solution to rail heat control, listed below are three main
possibilities.
1 - Use a Night Setback Schedule From the Control screen navigate to Refrigeration then Rail Heat
Many Danfoss controls have a function whereby the output to (Configuration->Refrigeration->Rail Heat)
the rail heat elements can be pulsed in a percentage of time
ratio. If set in the controller, the night setback signal from the
AK-SM will allow the controller to vary the output depending
on the time period. Consult specific controller manual for
more details
Selecting Use HVAC humidity to “yes” Rail heat dew point will be
calculated using Rail Temp and Inside RH sensor inputs. A Rail
hum point will not be generated by the SM800.
Selecting Use HVAC humidity to “no” Rail heat dew point will be
calculated using Rail Temp and Rail hum sensor inputs.
2.0
Example: With a Dew point target range of -4.0 to 8.0°c and the Cycle -4.0
time set for 10 minutes the following behavior will be true.
At -4.0°c Dewpoint the relay output will be 0% 0% 50% 90% 100%
At 8.0°c Dewpoint the relay output will be 100% (5 mins on) (9 mins on)
At 2.0°c Dewpoint the relay output will be 50% of the cycle (0 mins) (5 mins off ) (1 min off )
time (5 mins on, 5 mins off)
At 7.0°c Dewpoint the relay output will be 90% of the cycle
time (9 mins on, 1 min off)
Relay output percentage (based on cycle time
setting)
Select ‘Yes’ to the question line ‘Use Adaptive Rail heat’, and (in
this example) select ‘Calculated Dewpoint’ as the dewpoint
method. Upon answering these questions the AK-SM will
automatically build sensor points to allow for the humidity and
temperature sensors to be defined. As the diagram below shows,
the EMHS3-1 sensor has humidity and temperature wired in to an
AK I/O module, the points at which these sensors are connected
can then be added under the sensor page (Configuration-

Pack Configuration
AKC injection ON
Note:
Make sure that the Pack controller has the field Ctrl. Of Injec-
tion ON set to Network, for AK2 style devices you may need the
Danfoss Service Tool in order to see this parameter
Important limitations
Up to 60 AKC controllers can be connected to a single AK-PI 200.
If there are more than 60 controllers, two AK-PI 200 units must
be used. Up to four AK-PI 200 units can be connected to a single
System Manager.
The link between the System Manager and the AK-PI 200 is via a
TCP/IP. Ensure when connecting your AK-PI200 to the network be
sure to use a router or switch, not a network hub. The AK-PI 200
will not function correctly if network hubs are used.
Preparation / Addressing
Both the System Manager and the AK-PI 200 must have valid
addressing set before any configuration can take place. Consider
the following steps when setting up your System Manager and
PI-200.
1. Ensure System Manager has a valid IP address and is connected
on the LAN.
2. Use AK-Service Tool and make direct connection to the PI-200,
under IP setup check correct IP address mode (Dynamic/Static),
Port Number (default 1041 in PI-200 and System Manager).
3. Set physical Danbuss address for PI-200 by using the rotary
address switches on the PI-200. A unique address must be
assigned for PI-200, with no duplicate with generic devices on
any field bus’.
3. Under the Scan Status tab navigate to the PI-200 sub tab, here
any detected PI-200 units will be shown and can be selected for
use with the System Manager.
4. Under the ‘PI-200 Status’ sub tab you can view the address,
version, status, signal quality and number of devices under each
PI-200.
Note! The response times over a Danbuss network and via the
PI-200 is somewhat slower than traditional LonWorks networking,
any delay in retrieving data is not an indication of system fault, but
due to Danbuss network performance.
Monitoring Points
Your AK-SM offers a simple yet effective way to display tempera-
ture sensors that also include dedicated alarming and inhibiting
functions. The following section describes the configuration of
monitoring points and their associated functions.
Once set to Monitoring navigate to the Setup tab, using the drop
down menu to select the recently defined monitoring points.
Click on the Setup button and then select the Type drop down list
Choose Monitoring from the drop down list
Defrost Input
If required a Defrost input can be configured. A Defrost input
would be used to effectively inhibit the alarms whilst the
equipment was in ‘defrost mode’. Once a Defrost input has been
configured it can be used in conjunction with further sensor
setups (select Existing option for this)
No No Defrost input required
Yes Define Defrost input
Existing Pick from previously set Defrost inputs
Monitoring setup page
Monitor temp input
Select ‘Yes’ to allow monitoring of a board & point sensor or a
sensor via a connected network controller
Post defrost alarm delay
Enter the required time delay that the AK-SM 800 will apply after
it has detected a defrost has completed - this can stop nuisance
alarms
Generate Cleaning input
Select ‘Yes’ if a cleaning input is required (typical example could
be voltage or switch). When the assigned switch is made the
monitoring point will detect this change of state and will stop any
alarms from being transmitted. After the cleaning input is re-set
any future alarms will be transmitted - after any post clean alarm
delay timer has elapsed.
Post clean alarm delay
Enter the required time delay that the AK-SM 800 will apply after it
has detected the cleaning input has reset
Monitor digital input
Select ‘Yes’ to allow monitoring of a digital input via a board &
point input or a digital input via a connected network controller
Input configuration
After selecting ‘Yes’ to any of the questions in the upper part of
the monitoring configuration screen the resulting input is shown
below.
A custom name can be given to each input. For each input enter
the corresponding board & point address for local I/O to enter a
controller address (see next section for further details on ente-
ring controller address). Finally make sure the type is correctly
defined for the input (via a drop down list). Page Down to define
any alarms for the inputs. Continue to configure any remaining
sensors, once complete you can view the sensors in the Evap
Overview list, via the Main Menu. As in the generic format simply
click on the sensor to view a summary screen. The detail page for
the monitoring point contains current status & temperature, the
ability to inhibit (stop alarm from occurring) and alarm settings (if
configured).

After the relevant Lighting control questions and appropriate AK
I/O addresses have been applied, check the alarms tab. Depend-
ing on the Lighting control configuration alarm points will be
seen under the alarm tab.
The AK-SM 800 offers the ability to dim lighting controls via the
use of Danfoss AK I/O dimming systems. The following section
describes initial setup and configuration.
Thus, a sensor reading of 1200 fc would result in a dimmer output 1600 15%

(1800 – 800) 1000 1800 2% (Min)
The AK-SM 820 and AK-SM 880 both offer HVAC control and sup-
port. Both the AK-SM 820 and 880 offer the same HVAC function-
ality, the only difference is the number of HVAC units that can be
configured. HVAC control and support can be via centralized or
de-centralized control. Centralized control offers the ability to
control HVAC systems via Danfoss AK I/O modules. The de-cen-
tralized method allows support for specific field bus nodes.
For centralized control, select ‘AHU’ or ‘RTU’ from the drop down
list. If you require de-centralized (field bus) control, select the
controller type from the drop down list. Once selected use the
setup tab to continue configuration. In the example below, AHU
has been selected.
Lockout on proof failure: Yes: The fan will be locked out if fan

to restart the fan by using the “Clear” button on the status screen.
Evidence of the locked out condition, and the means of ending
the lockout, are found on the status screen for cooling or heating
function. No: The fan will not be locked out on proof failure.
Monitor Phase Loss: Whether or not a phase loss monitor will be
monitored.
Which phase loss monitor: All available phase loss monitors are

Danfoss AK-SM 800 series version 08.053 and higher supports se-
lect Emerson modules within the CoreSense™ range. In particular,
the following two module types are supported (see important
notes below for supported versions)
• CoreSense™ Diagnostics for Copeland Scroll K5 compressors
• CoreSense™ Protection for Copeland Discus compressors
Each module must be set for ‘Stand Alone Mode’, else invalid
module alarms will occur. To set the modules for ‘Stand Alone
Mode’ use the relevant bit switches on the module-refer to the
CoreSense™ user guide for more details.
Feature Introduction
A new feature introduced in SM800 version 08.053 and above
allows the measurement and subsequent load shedding of
electrical loads. This feature allows the consideration of tariff data,
which can be then used to load shed equipment associated with
a digital input. The use of Danfoss AK-IO modules is required for
this feature.
Feature highlights
• Measuring period synchronization
• 3 Tariffs in kW (High Tariff, Normal Tariff, Strong Tariff )
• Scale factor for current and voltage transformers
• Pulse / unit
Additional features
• Preset of counters
• Self-synchronization possibility
• Alarm on load shed limit
• Neutral zone in period
• Reset for average, value yesterday, value last week, kWh, kW or all
in one go
Configuration
Follow the guidelines in this section in order to configure energy
measurement and load shed
Go to Configuration -> Control

Go to Tab Setup
Select Pulse / unit
Give counter a name and fill in all appropriate details
Addressing:
Go to Tab Addresses and On/Off Inputs to find the addresses for
synch and tariffs.

Request defrost If the case controller is setup for adaptive defrost skip functionality, this parameter
indicates whether the controller will initiate the next scheduled defrost.
ON: Case controller will initiate a defrost cycle if the MC defrost start signal is set ON.
OFF: Case controller will skip the next defrost cycle if the MC defrost start signal is set
ON and the skip defrost counter will count 1 up.
Defrost state Parameter that indicates the actual defrost status of the controller. This parameter is
already used by the standard defrost co-ordination function in AK-SM850.

from the associated suction group In pack controller) and distributed/written to the
case controllers every 10 minutes. If the signal is not updated every 15 minutes in the
case controller, the value will fall back to a default value.
If just one controller requests a defrost cycle, AK-SM 800 will start
a defrost cycle on all case controllers of the sub group in question
by setting the “Manual defrost start” parameter to ON.
Exception handling
If a case is not configured for adaptive defrost or has no adaptive
defrost function, it will always execute a defrost, members in the
subgroup will also be (forced) into defrost. In this situation, all case
controllers must start a defrost cycle. If the defrost request signal
cannot be read from one or more case controllers at the time of
defrost initiation, AK-SM 800 will start a defrost cycle on all case
controllers in the sub-group by setting the “Manual defrost start”
parameter ON.
Example:
An island of refrigerated cases consists of totally 8 case sections
(evaporators) – 3 case sections on each side and two individual
end sections. In this example the user must be able to divide the
group of controllers into 4 sub-groups:

Results
Now the AK-SM has been set for load shed, with the appropriate
levels set, the enterprise user can now schedule load shed jobs.
Once logged in to the Danfoss enterprise dashboard the user can
select multiple sites and select a time and duration, with a load
shed level action.
In our example above, if the enterprise user wishes to reduce
maximum load for a period of time, a job would be created in
the enterprise dashboard and the index ‘4’ would be issued to all
selected AK-SM units across the customers estate. The effect is
that ALL applications that have an index of 4 and below will turn
off for that period of time (and re-start after any post delays). The
result in our example here is that all HVAC and lighting will switch
off. Another example would be using the load shed index of 3.
This would then only shut down ALL applications set at 3 and be-
low. In this example that would be the Lighting, the HVAC would

There are two main software components for the AK-SM 800
series front end, the Bootloader and Factory Application image
(FAI). When installing new software updates refer to the associ-
ated Refrigeration Note for specific guidance. The section below
briefly describes each software package;
When your AK-SM 800 series front end is used in a host network
configuration (multiple units connected via IP), Danfoss recom-
mends updating all units to the same software version.
AK-SM 800 system software and ED3 files can be found at the
Danfoss.com web site
http://www.ak-sm800.danfoss.com
As device files are Enabled / Disabled the file counter will reflect
the total number of active device files. The term ‘Files’ in this case,
is actually the total number of device selections available. For ex-
ample, a controller such as an AK-CC 550 has 10 different applica-
tions. Therefore each application is a ‘selection’. Then the number
of selections is multiplied over several software versions that may
be available for that device.
This means that once the controller selection reaches 1000, you
will need to disable groups of those devices not being used, in
order to keep this number at, or below 1000. A message will be
presented to alert if the capacity has been reached.
EDF’s not packaged within the ‘MAI’ file for the AK-SM 800 will be
available via the Danfoss Support web site http://www.ak-sm800.
danfoss.com. When installing the latest AK-SM 800 firmware
package, recently released / new EDF device files may not be
included.
The ‘Interim ED3’ collection of files are the ones which were not
included in the MAI (master application install), and can also in-
clude either new files or updates of existing files after the software
release date.
In this situation, there are two recommended methods to update
your AK-SM 800 system.
Note: Only version 08.07x and above supports device files that
have an extension of .ed4
- Set the local path as shown to the folder on your PC where these
files are saved to.
- Connect to the SM800 unit and log on with the supervisor access
level.
- Upon connection, click on File Management tab and the remote
path should display the folders as shown.
- Click on the ‘edf’ folder under the remote path. When you open
this folder, the contents will look ‘empty’. Don’t concern with that
because the actual files which are resident only appear after an
EDF upload (copy) is invoked.
- From the local folder path, click on the files which need to be
transferred and then press the right arrow in the middle of the
screen to invoke this transfer.
- If you are transferring a large # of files, you must give the SM800
enough process time and then perform a restart to the SM800.
(After transferring the Ephrases.tbl file, a minimum of 15 minutes
wait time after transfer is required.
