- Digital Input: 1 × configurable (door switch, alarm, defrost start, pressure switch)
- Outputs: Compressor relay (model dependent — check variant specs)
- Applications: Display fridges, cool rooms, refrigerated cabinets, blast chillers

XR40CXB Medium/Low Temp Controller – Blue
A robust, flexible option for multi-use control with defrost and door input logic — suitable across medium or low-temp depending on setup. View XR40CX-B.
XR60CXB Low Temp Controller
Optimised for freezer rooms and blast chillers with compressor protection and fast defrost recovery. View XR60CX-B.
Why this series matters
On a Sydney deli case last week, the old stat drifted and temps yo-yo’d. We dropped in an XR30CXB, set door alarms and sensible defrost intervals, and it held setpoint within a bee’s whisker — food safe and steady. That’s the XR series: simple interface, predictable control and bloody good stability.

Pro Tip
Always match probe type in parameters (NTC vs PTC) and calibrate offset after install. Door switch wired to the digital input lets you pause fan/compressor logic during loading — fewer nuisance alarms and faster pull-down.
Compatibility & System Info
- Supply: 240 VAC
- Probes: 2 × NTC/PTC (model dependent)
- Digital input: 1 × configurable (door/alarm/defrost start/pressure)
- Typical outputs: Compressor relay; defrost/fan outputs vary by model — see variant page
- Use cases: Display fridges, cold rooms, refrigerated cabinets, blast chillers
Local note: In humid Brisbane cool rooms, enable drip time after defrost and verify fan delay on evap probe to stop sling-off and frosting issues.

FAQs
- Which model suits a small freezer room?
- Use the XR60CX-B for low-temp duty and set probe-based defrost for faster recovery.
- Can I reuse existing NTC probes?
- Usually yes if they match the controller’s probe type/spec. If in doubt, fit a new Dixell NTC like the NG6P-1.5 or NG6P-10.
- Is XR40CXB medium or low temp?
- XR40CXB can be configured across applications, but our listing links to the low-temp variant. Check the series page for medium-temp options.
