Refrigerator compartment door status: The alarm will be activated after the fridge door was open longer than 2 minutes.
Operation Indication of Water Filter The water filter control will calculate and record the total volume of water flowed through the valve during the opening periods. The flow rate for the dispenser water valve is 1,51 litres per minute (24-58 cc per second). The total liters flow is calculated by using the flow rates for Ice Maker valve and Water Dispenser valve.
Operation Indication of Antibacterial Filter 7 – segment GREEN based display version: It‟s a 6 month (+/- 2 days) delay timer with 2 different states. The states are: - OFF , User Interface LED switched OFF (low usage) - ON, User Interface LED switched ON (Alarm state after 180 days) The timer will be stopped when the appliance is in Stand-by (OFF) condition.
Operation Characteristics of settings: Eco Modus The “Eco Modus” function can be used to save energy. 15 seconds after activating the Eco function the display goes OFF and only the symbol is visible (like a screensaver). Whenever the control panel is used (mainly water/ice, open a compartment door etc.), the display will come back for 15 seconds.
Operation Characteristics of settings: Listeria Indication The symbol indicates you the right temperature inside the refrigerator compartment and allow you to control the optimum average temperature in the whole compartment. To check the temperature the appliance has been switched ON for at least 24 hours! After this time you can check if the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is correct and if necessry adjust the temperature settings.
Operation Buttons description Button 1: Freezer compartment temperature set, to increase or decrease the freezer compartment temperature. Button 2: Fast Freezing function, to engage or disengage the fast freezing function for the freezer compartment. Button 3: To toggle between the cubed and crushed ice (water dispensing will be always available). Button 4: Reset Alarm, to reset the buzzer in case of a pending alarm.

Operation Long Black Out Alarm Algorithm Long black out check will be executed each power up only if the algorithm is enabled. This alarm signal show a dangerous over temperature for goods (safety preservation limit). It has been achieved during a main power failure. This alarm will be activated: - after a main power restoring if the appliance was in the ON condition when the black out occurred.
Operation Thermostatic function The thermostatic function must control the unit to keep the compartments temperature values set by the user on the Control Panel. Compressor, compressor fan, evaporator fan and damper control is performed using the temperature values measured through the 2 NTC sensors of the unit.
Components 3D Multiflow with Antibacterial filter The efficiency of the refrigerator is optimised, because the temperature is always the same everywhere. The three air flow outlets convey the cold air in each compartment of the refrigerator, which allow the temperature to be homogeneous among all the shelves. It brings the air till the last bottom drawer and to the balconies.

Functional characteristics - Dispenser stepper motor - Main Control Board description - Dispenser heater - NTC sensor in the refrigerator compartment - Dispenser paddles - Damper control - NTC sensor in the freezer compartment - IDI Biruni 7-segment UI - NTC sensor failure management - VL (No IDI) Biruni 7-seg.
Functional characteristics Main Control Board description The Main Control Board is installed on Side by Side appliances with In Door Ice Ice- Maker system (current Ice- Maker) or NOT IDI Ice-Maker system (Ice-Maker Sankyo). The product is a two compartments (refrigerator and freezer), one compressor automatic defrost appliance. The main function of electronics is to manage the temperature inside the cavities and to manage the Ice and Water dispenser controlling consequently the compressor and the other components operations.
Page 42
Functional characteristics NTC senor in the refrigerator compartment One NTC sensor is provided in the refrigerator compartment to control the temperature by means of the evaporator fan and the damper. The Refrigerator Control Table defines the ON/OFF temperature values for every possible user setting.
Functional characteristics Damper control An electrical AC motor is used to close and open the air door. The motor when supplied rounds always in the same direction. By means of a cam the air door is driven alternatively in open and close position. A signal is returned to feedback the position of the air door.
Page 44
Functional characteristics NTC senor in the freezer compartment One NTC sensor is provided in the freezer compartment to control the temperature by means of the compressor and the evaporator fan. The Freezer Control Table defines the ON/OFF temperature values for every possible user setting. See on the next slide for the different version.

Functional characteristics NTC senor in the freezer compartment...
Functional characteristics NTC sensor failure management Freezer Compartment: The following emergency procedure must be performed if the freezer temperature sensor became unreliable: Compressor, Compressor fan (1 minute delay since compressor starting) and Evaporator fan (3 minutes delay since compressor starting) will be driven constantly till the emergency will recover. No change will be implemented for refrigerator compartment algorithm and defrost operation.
Functional characteristics Ice-water valve For Value Line & IDI 2008 (both Biruni User Interface): The water shaft activation will be detected by the User Interface and then it will be communicated to the Main Board for Water valve activation. The control will calculate and record the total volume of water flowed through the valve during the opening periods.
Functional characteristics Ice maker water valve The icemaker water valve will be automatically controlled and driven by the icemaker system itself (current Ice-Maker) or by the control board (Ice-Maker Sankyo). The control will monitor the usage of the valve then calculate and record the total volume of water flowed through the valve during the opening periods.
Functional characteristics Ice-maker Ice-Maker ON / OFF manager (IDI Sankyo): The Ice-Maker system works by itself, it means that the Main Board will just switch ON the relay K002 (for IDI only) to give the system the power according to the customer user request, moreover the Main Board will detect the Ice valve activation in order to update the Water Filter Indication counter.
Functional characteristics Dispenser lamp According to product model a dispenser light can be attached to the User Interface board. Dispenser light will be turned on while a paddle is pressed, turned off when all paddles are released. When "child lock" function is active the dispenser light shall not be turned on even if a paddle is pressed.
Functional characteristics Dispenser stepper motor According to product model a step motor can be attached to the User Interface board. Main Control board will communicate the action that step motor has to perform (open, close). The User Interface board generate the corresponding signal to drive the motor in the required position.
Page 52
Functional characteristics Dispenser stepper motor A stepper motor (or step motor) is a brushless, synchronous electric motor that can divide a full rotation into a large number of steps. The motor's position can be controlled precisely, without any feedback mechanism. Stepper motor characteristics: Stepper motors operate differently from normal DC motors, which rotate when voltage is applied to their terminals.
Functional characteristics Dispenser heater According to product model, one or two heater can be attached to the User Interface board. Heaters state will be set according to what communicated by the Main Control board (User Interface board is not provided with EEPROM so the heaters state will be stored by Main Control board in case of a main power failure and communicate when power is restored).
Functional characteristics Dispenser paddles According to product model (with dispenser or not) one or two paddles (mechanical or electronic) can be attached to the User Interface board. These paddles will act as extra buttons. Their state has to be communicate to the Main Control board through the dedicated data foreseen in the communication protocol.
