INSTALLATION

Insert the controller through a hole measuring 71x29 mm.
Make sure that electrical connections comply with the paragraph "wiring diagrams". To reduce the effects of electromagnetic
disturbance, keep the sensor and signal cables well separate from the power wires.
Fix the controller to the panel by means of the suitable clips, by pressingly gently; if fi tted, check that the rubber gasket
adheres to the panel perfectly, in order to prevent debris and moisture infi ltration to the back of the instrument.
Place the probe T1 inside the room in a point that truly represents the temperature of the stored product.
Place the probe T2 on the evaporator where there is the maximum formation of frost.
The function of probe T3 is determined by the parameter T3. With T3=DSP the probe measures the temperature to be
displayed. With T3=CND the probe measures the condenser temperature, it must therefore be placed between the fi ns of the
condensing unit. With T3=2EU the probe measures the temperature of the second evaporator and it must therefore be placed
where there is the maximum formation of frost. With T3=NON, the third probe is disabled.

X
While keeping button pressed, use button .
SETPOINT (display and modifi cation of desired temperature value)
press button for at least half second, to display the setpoint value.
By keeping button pressed, use button or to set the desired value (adjustment is within the minimum SPL and the
maximum SPH limit).
When button is released, the new value is stored.
STAND-BY
Button , when pressed for 3 seconds, allows the controller to be put on a standby or output control to be resumed (with
SB=YES only).
KEYPAD LOCK
The keypad lock avoids undesired, potentially dangerous operations, which might be attempted when the controllers is operating
in a public place. In the INFO menu, set parameter LOC=YES to inhibit all functions of the buttons. To resume normal operation
of keypad, adjust setting so that LOC=NO.
SELECTION OF SECOND PARAMETER GROUP
It's possible to select control parameters between two different pre-programmed groups, in order for the fundamental control
parameters to be adapted quickly to changing needs.
Changeover from Group I to Group II may take place manually by pressing button
automatically when heavy duty conditions are detected (with IISM=HDD), or when the auxiliary input DI2 is activated (IISM=DI2).
The activation of Group II is signalled by the lighting up of the relevant LED on the controller display. If IISM=NON, switchover
to group II is inhibited.
DEFROST
Automatic defrost. A defrost is started automatically as soon as the time set with parameter DFT has elapsed.
Timed defrost. With DFM=TIM the timer increment is continuous and defrosts take place at regular intervals. For example,
with DFM=TIM and DFT=06, a defrost will take place every 6 hours.
Optimised defrost. With DFM=FRO the timer is only increased when the conditions occur for frost to form on the evaporator,
until the time set with parameter DFT is matched. If the evaporator works at 0°C, defrost frequency depends on the thermal load
and climatic conditions. With setpoints much lower than 0°C, defrost frequency mainly depends on the refrigerator operating
time.
Defrost time count backup. At the power-up, if DFB=YES, the defrost timer resumes the time count from where it was left off
before the power interruption. Vice versa, with DFB=NO, the time count re-starts from 0. In stand-by, the accumulated time count
is frozen.
Manual or remote defrost start. It's possible to manually start a defrost, by pressing button
be started remotely, if DI2=RDS, through the making of the auxiliary contact DI2.
Defrost type. Once defrost has started, Compressor and Defrost outputs are controlled according to parameter DTY. If
FID=YES, the evaporator fans are active during defrost.
Defrost termination. The actual defrost duration is infl uenced by a series of parameters.
Time termination: T2=NO and T3 different from 2EU: the evaporator temperature is not monitored and defrost will last as long
as time DTO.
Temperature monitoring of one evaporator: T2=YES and T3 different
from 2EU. In this case, if the sensor T2 measures the temperature DLI
before the time DTO elapses, defrost will be terminated in advance.
Temperature monitoring of two evaporators: T2=YES, T3=2EU,
OAU=2EU. This function is for the control of two independent
evaporators and it switches off the individual heating of the evaporator
which gets to temperature DLI fi rst, waiting for the second evaporator
to get to that temperature before the time DTO elapses (see fi gure).
Resuming thermostatic cycle. When defrost is over, if DRN is
greater than 0, all outputs will remain off for DRN minutes, in order for
the ice to melt completely and the resulting water to drain. Moreover, if
probe T2 is active (T2=YES), the fans will re-start when the evaporator
gets to a temperature lower than FDD; Vice versa, if probe T2 is not
active (T2=NO) or after defrost has come to an end, such condition does not occur by end of the time FTO, after FTO minutes
have elapsed the fans will be switched on anyway.
Caution: if DFM=NON or C-H=HEA all defrost functions are inhibited; if DFT=0, automatic defrost functions are excluded. During
a high pressure alarm, defrost is suspended. During defrost, high temperature alarm is bypassed.
