1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XJ500 is a monitoring system which is specific for the control of all data, alarms and the functioning status of
refrigeration plants, in food preparation and food conservation processes and also in distribution.
This device can communicate with all the Dixell instruments with serial port both DixBUS and ModBUS protocol
communication.
THE APPLICATION
The main characteristic of the XJ500 is that the same unit can work as a “Stand alone system” or be connected to a Personal
Computer so it can be easily installed both in small shops and big markets.
Typical applications are: food plants, for medical use (blood banks, medicine stores, etc), industrial processes,
supermarkets, cold rooms, catering, fast food or normal restaurants, gasoline stations and convenience stores.
THE DATA
The XJ500 unit receives input data coming from Dixell instruments provided with serial output. For each instrument the
monitoring program allows the reading and storage the following information: probe values, alarm and functioning status. It
can be interfaced to refrigeration instruments, step controllers, temperature humidity and pressure units with Dixell serial
output.
THE RECORDING
Basically the XJ500 was created to record room temperature, alarm status and functioning status of instruments connected to
RS485 line for a year with a sampling time of 15 minutes in order to comply with the European Community standards for food
controlling processes 89/108 CEE, 92/1 CEE, 92/2 CEE and 93/43 CEE.
The unit can also manage other signals like “Bar” or “Psi” for pressure or “Rh” and any other unit of measurements interfaced
through 4/20mA signals.
THE ALARMS
The XJ manages the “General alarms” defined as probe failure, high and low alarms, digital input activation and the “System
alarms” defined as data memory overflow, “no link” with an instrument, “no link” with the RS485 and “no link” with the printer.
When an alarm condition is detected, the unit can manage the local print and the fax messages.
PRINT
The temperature and alarm reports can be printed by enabling either the Automatic print or the Manual print. The printed
report shows the temperatures, the interval time of the sampling and the alarms. The special HACCP function allows the user
to print automatically, at a desired interval of time, the instant measured temperature.
THE FAX/MODEM
XJ500 Automatically sends fax or SMS messages in case of alarm situations to a service centre or to a selected telephone
number. A list of 15 numbers is programmable by the User.
THE INTERACTIVE FUNCTIONS
The XJ500 is provided with manual and time-based procedures to manage the synchronised defrost of instruments and
execute daily or weekly cycles with the auxiliary relays such as the blind and the light controls. The programming timers of
each auxiliary relay and defrost, allow the User to set 90 steps made of on/off operations, 1 operation every 10 minutes.
THE SYSTEM PROTECTIONS
Access to programming can be protected by activating one of the four available passwords
DATA RECORDING
Through the RS485 line, the information coming from DIXELL instruments are collected by the XJ500 unit, which logs them.
For each instrument, the User can decide what data has to be stored, such as:
probe values, probe failure, high and low alarms and output status (defrost, comp. status etc.).
The recording flow is a FIFO format (First In, First out) into a Flash memory that ensures a high speed and big data capacity.
Before reaching maximum storage space, the XJ500 actives alarm signals. In this case the data should be Down-loaded so it
is saved.

rel.1.1 – 16/04/03 - cod. 1592010001
MANAGEMENT OF THE RECORDED DATA

It is possible to display all the data directly through the XJ500 LCD display or through the printed reports.
The manual print allows the User to print the data available in the memory, the report is selectable in a range of times
programmable by the User. In order to have a historical file the unit is also capable of executing daily or weekly prints.
THE XView TOOL SOFTWARE
Through this tool software it is possible to manage the same programming functions of the XJ500 from a local or remote
Personal Computer in order to make the setup procedure easier.
The tool software also allows to down load the recordings, executed by the XJ500, to display and print them in table or graph
format.
SERIAL OUTPUT RS232 MODBUS-RTU
The XJ500 will maintain all the characteristics of the previous series, independently recording data and system diagnostics
even in mixed networks in which DixBUS and ModBUS protocol instruments are used. Moreover RS232 serial output allows
all system data to be transferred to a main ModBUS compatible monitoring system, in this way acting as a gateway.
2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE THE INSTALLATION

THE UNIT
As default the unit is based on 2 Mbyte of memory suitable for recording the data of the first probe (usually the room probe) of

rel.1.1 – 16/04/03 - cod. 1592010001
3 THINGS REQUIRED FOR THE SYSTEM

The XJ500 can be connected in three different configurations:
- Without modem and without the PC;
- With a modem via RS232 to send data and alarm messages;
- With a local PC to manage big systems with lots of instruments.
Assure that all the Dixell instruments that have to be connected to the XJ500 supervisor system are provided with the serial
output.
BEFORE STARTING THE SUPERVISOR

To run the XJ500 unit read these important information:
1) A shielded cable with 3 wires must reach all the places where the instruments are fitted (eg BELDEN 8772);
2) The wires of the RS485 line must be connected with the interface modules XJRS485;
3) Each XJRS485 interface module must be connected with the corresponding instrument through the 5 pins TTL cable
supplied with the instrument itself;
4) Each instrument must be addressed with its unique number, by programming the parameters Ad2 or Adr ;(Ad1 must be
equal to 0)
THE RS485 SERIAL LINE

- The cable of the RS485 line can be a three wires plus shield starting from a minimum of 0,5mm2. (e.g. BELDEN 8772)
- From the office where the XJ will be installed, the cable must reach all the instruments controlled by the supervisor.
- If possible keep this cable away from power lines or contactors.
- It is really important not connect the cable shield to the plant electrical ground.
- Draw a map of the followed path can be useful when a line check is necessary.
- Do not make loops or other type of connections.
To keep balanced the RS485 the beginning and the end of line must be closed with a resistor. This resistor is already
mounted inside the instruments and it can be activated by following these two different applications schemes.
The XJ500 is connected at the beginning of the line:
In this case close the Jumper inside the monitoring unit and set the end of the line with a jumper on the terminals 18 - 19.
These terminals are indicated on the label of XJRS485.
2) The XJ500 is connected in the middle of the line:
The jumper of the XJ500 must be removed, but to set the beginning and the end of the line it necessary to close the jumper
(terminals 18 - 19) of the first and the last instrument connected.

rel.1.1 – 16/04/03 - cod. 1592010001
3) When the last instrument in the net is with built in RS485 with 2 cables (XR100, XJA, XJP etc.) if there are problems in the
serial communication it could be necessary to connect an 100ohm resistor in parallel to the serial line to keep balanced the
RS485.
Do not make loops in the connections
CONNECTING THE INSTRUMENT

1. Each XJRS485 interface module is provided with 3 terminals for the input / output data.
2. Decide which of the 3 wires must be connected to the “+” terminal, to the “-“ terminal and to the “Gnd”, proceed always
respecting the polarity.
3. Some series (XR100, XJA, XJP, XT/XH/XP “R” format) with serial output do not need the XJRS485.
THE TTL CONNECTION

1. Each instrument must be connected to its RS485 interface through a 5 pins TTL cable.
2. If powered with 12Vac, the instrument can be supplied directly from the terminals 7 and 8 of the XJRS485, with a
maximum power of 5VA.
3. In any case keep the TTL cable away from any power lines or any contactors.
4. The series ordered with serial output RS485, does not use the interface XJRS485 and the TTL cable.
5. In the instruments with built in RS485 with two cables must be connected the “+” and the “-“. The GND doesn’t have to
be connected.

rel.1.1 – 16/04/03 - cod. 1592010001
SERIAL ADDRESSING OF THE INSTRUMENTS

1. Each instrument needs a unique address in order to be recognised by the XJ500.
2. This address can be programmed by the Adr parameter in the ModBUS instruments and by Ad2 parameter in the
DixBUS instrument. Ad1 must be set equal to 0 in the instruments with DixBUS protocol communication. Refer to the
Installing and Operating Manual of the instrument.
3. To make the description procedure easier, it is better divide the installed instruments in categories having progressive
number Adr (Ad2) for each device.

7.6 RECORDING STOP
7.6.1 POWER FAILURE

In case of power failure the unit stops immediately the recording. However before turning completely off, the XJ500 records
the “Black-Out” alarm message. After the power supply restarts, the recording file is verified; the time passed between the
last and the new recordings is considered as Black-out duration time.
During the black-out event the unit does not record any data and when the power supply is restored, the recordings restart
automatically. In this situation both the instrument and the modem are switched off.
During this situation the Alarm Relay contacts are closed to signal the alarm event.
REMEMBER that the internal battery of the clock lasts maximum 12 hours without power supply. After this time the unit
needs to set the clock parameters.
If you intend to extend the time duration of the clock battery, it is possible to connect a 12Vdc external battery to the
back-up terminals (see chapter 4).
To avoid turning off the unit, it is necessary to connect an external Back-up system which supplies both the XJ500 and
the modem when the supply fails.
7.6.2 WHEN THE RECORDINGS ARE MANUALLY STOPPED

When somebody stops manually the recordings by means the parameter SYSTEM STATUS = OFF, the XJ500 saves the
date, the time and the “STOP” warning message.
This same message will be recorded even in the case that the recordings are stopped from a remote connection executed by
the XVIEW program.

The Historical Alarm Archive contains the recordings executed with the TIME INTERVAL parameter.
This file can be consulted in any time by entering the VIEW – ALARM – FROM ARCHIVE menu.
The information contained in this archive can be used also several months after the date of the recording.
The Event Alarm Archive contains the last 100 alarms with the full description of the event such as: start and stop dates,
origin of the alarm, probe temperature, setpoint of the instrument.
This alarm information can be showed at any time just pushing ENTER directly of the keyboard when the XJ500 is not under
the key MENU activity.
This is a FIFO file format and, after 100 alarm events, the first recording will be pushed out from the archive.
The information contained in this archive are the same used to send the fax alarm message and to print alarm report.
THINGS YOU MUST KNOW

Enable the whole alarm management under: USER MENU –SETUP - ALARM - ALARM CONTROL (default not
enabled).
Check the alarm management of a single instrument under USER MENU – SETUP - DEVICE(S) – CONFIGURE - SAVE
ALARM.
The alarm print out can be enabled under USER MENU –SETUP - ALARM – PRINT ENABLE.
Enable the alarm fax transmission under: USER MENU –SETUP - ALARM - TX FAX ENABLE.

10.4 VIEW THE ACTUAL ALARMS

Under USER MENU – VIEW – ALARM – ACTUAL the User can verify the exact origin of the problem and the number of
devices in alarm:
< ACTUAL ALARM >
No Name 1/11
Pb1: HIGH
Pb2: -14.3
If no alarm is present this menu does not shows any device.
10.5 HOW TO SHOW THE ALARM EVENTS AFTER SOME MONTHS FROM THE
BEGIN OF THE RECORDINGS
See the VIEW – ALARM – FROM ARCHIVE cap 8.3.
IMPORTANT NOTE
During a Manual or Automatic print the alarm warning procedure will be postponed until the previous printing or fax
queue is finished. In any case the alarm information is stored.
If the alarm duration is lower than the sampling interval time STORE INTERVAL, It will be not recorded because it is not
considered a dangerous alarm.
10.6 ALARM REPORT

When a new alarm event intervenes, the User can decide the type of print with the PRINT ENABLE parameter:
if PRINT ENABLE = NO the alarm print is not enabled.
if PRINT ENABLE = CON each alarm event correspond to an immediate print out of the event itself.
if PRINT ENABLE = INT the print is delayed for the time set in TIME CONFIRM parameter.
Therefore if e.g. TIME CONFIRM = 60 minutes, the local print out will be executed ONLY if there have been changes in the
alarm conditions during the last hour.
Remember that the print and the fax have the same report.
With PRINT ENABLE = CON it is possible that you fill find one report page for each alarm event. This can happen
because some printers gives automatically the form feed command (eg laser and desk jet).
If the alarm print report can not be printed, after two minutes the printing queue will be erased after two minutes. In this
case the message PRINTER ERROR will appear on the display.
10.7 ALARM FAX MESSAGE

If the fax device is enabled under USER MENU - SETUP - ALARM - TX FAX ENABLE, the XJ500 will provide to send a
warning message to the selected priority phone numbers (see the CALLING NUMBER list).
The XJ unit sends the alarm report every interval time defined in “TIME CONFIRM”.
Therefore if e.g. TIME CONFIRM = 60 minutes, the fax will be sent ONLY if there have been changes in the alarm conditions
during the last hour.
When it is necessary to send a fax message, the XJ500 unit selects the first phone number programmed in “CALLING
NUMBER” . If the line is not free, the unit will attempt the connection for the NUMBER OF RETRY, the interval time is
defined by TIME DELAY BETWEEN TWO CALLS. If no connection has been established, the unit selects the second
number of and tries again.

rel.1.1 – 16/04/03 - cod. 1592010001
If the alarm fax message can not be sent for any reason, the fax will be cancel after the last retry and the FAX ERROR
message will appear on the display.
