Hi everyone ,

I am a student currently doing my engineering studies and I am new to this forum. I hope you guys can help me with my project.

I know that programmable controller is sometimes hard to understand. As part of my project, I am currently researching on a new simple (no programming involved at all!) to use electronic commercial refrigeration controller for beverage coolers/refrigerated showcase.

These are some of the features I have thought to be useful:
· Automatic defrost
· Overheating condenser alarm
· Protection against irregular mains power (browns out)
· Tamper free temperature setting

Since you guys are expert in refrigeration and I have no experience at all in this area , I would like to know about your thoughts, opinions or suggestions on what features would you like to have in a controller.

Oh, one more question do you think it is important to have the controller splash proof and waterproof?

Thanks !!
