Victory Refrigerator Error Code Afr, SrC, CE, COM: VCC Messages
This group of Victory VCC messages covers status and setup events: frost protection, a maintenance request, a clock error, configuration errors, a communication error and a manual override. Check with a thermometer that the cabinet is still cooling, change no settings yourself, and call us with the exact message.
Low: mostly setup or link messages while the cabinet keeps cooling, but each should be checked.

What does Victory error code Afr / SrC / Etc / CE / SF / COM / UCF / MAn mean?
The display on a Victory reach-in with the VCC controller, such as the RSA-1D-S1-HC, can show Afr / SrC / Etc / CE / SF / COM / UCF / MAn, and each one means something different. Afr is frost protection. SrC is a maintenance request. Etc is a clock error. CE is a configuration write error, and SF means the configuration is not complete. COM is a VCC communication error and UCF is a VCC operation error. MAn means an output has been overridden in manual mode. Several are about setup or the link between parts of the control, not temperature, so the cabinet may still be cooling normally. The controller compares what it was told to do with what it can read and write, and reports the mismatch with a short code. The manual lists a setup that did not finish or save, a loose connection between control parts, a clock that lost its time after an outage, an output left in manual mode, and a control board problem. Because the right action depends on which message shows, write down the code exactly.
Affected models and control systems
This group appears on Victory reach-in cabinets that use the VCC controller, for example the RSA-1D-S1-HC, as listed in the alarm codes table of the RS/RSA manual.
Code numbers and their meaning can change between control generations. We match the full model and control before acting on a code.
What you may notice
- One of these short codes on the display
- Cabinet air that is still at its normal temperature
- A clock showing the wrong time after a power loss
- A cabinet that runs but behaves unusually if an output is in manual mode
Possible causes
Listed in Victory's documentation
- A setup that did not finish or save
- A loose connection between control parts
- A clock that lost its time after an outage
- An output left in manual mode
- A control board problem
Other likely causes — what usually sits behind error code Afr / SrC / Etc / CE / SF / COM / UCF / MAn on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- A recent power outage or brownout that reset the clock and dropped a half-saved setting
- A programming session interrupted when someone changed settings and walked away
- A cabinet moved or cleaned with a ribbon connector disturbed
Safe checks before calling for service
- Write down the message exactly as shown.
- Confirm with a thermometer that the cabinet is still cooling.
- Do not change settings yourself.
- Photograph the display, note how long it has been showing, and call us. Keep the door shut until we arrive.
How a technician diagnoses error code Afr / SrC / Etc / CE / SF / COM / UCF / MAn
- Read the exact message and the alarm history on the display.
- Check cabinet air and product temperature to see whether cooling is affected.
- Inspect the control connections for looseness with power off.
- Verify clock, saved configuration and any outputs left in manual override against the maker's settings.
- Replace the control board only when connections and settings are shown good.
- Configuration and manual override changes alter how the cabinet cools, and setting them without the maker's values can spoil product.
- Control connections sit near mains-powered parts behind the front panel.
- Telling a setup problem from a board failure needs the controller's settings and a known-good reference.
How error code Afr / SrC / Etc / CE / SF / COM / UCF / MAn differs from similar codes
A group like this is easy to mistake for a temperature alarm. Unlike cht or dor, these messages mostly report setup or communication events and not heat.

Is my product at risk?
Not necessarily. Check it with a thermometer. Most of these messages are about setup, not temperature.
Can I clear MAn myself?
MAn means an output is in manual mode. Leave it to us unless you know who set it.
Will it clear on its own?
Some, like a clock error, stay until the time is set. Others return if the setup was never saved.
