Common Questions What is the primary function of the 080Z0018 module? It serves as an I/O extension module that provides eight digital outputs, allowing a Danfoss System Manager to control additional electrical components like fans or defrost heaters. Is this module compatible with all AK2-style controllers? Yes, the AK-XM 204B is designed for the AK2 platform. However, ensure your Pack Controller or System Manager is running the appropriate firmware version (e.g., v2.101 or higher for specific legacy units) for full feature visibility. Can I install this module without a communication module? No. As an extension module, the Danfoss 080Z0018 requires a connection to a master communication module or frontend system manager via the AK2 Local Bus to function.
