6.2. FUNCTIONS 6.2.1. UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD, FORMAT Description The Unicard/CopyCard must be connected to the (TTL serial port and allows the rapid programming of instrument parameters. DOWNLOAD from reset operating mode: at power-on, if the Unicard/CopyCard is inserted in the device, the controller automatically downloads data.
6.2.2. UNICARD The Unicard lets you download/upload a parameter map from/to a controller, in the same way as the CopyCard. It is a versatile tool that also allows you to quickly and easily customise devices. It differs from the Copy Card in the following ways: 1) it can be connected to a computer via USB 2) it can be plugged into a USB socket or USB battery, to power the device directly during upload/download.
6.3. BOOT LOADER FIRMWARE The device is equipped with a Boot Loader, so it is possible to update the Firmware directly on site. Updating may be carried out using UNICARD or CopyCard (CopyCard). Updating procedure: • Connect the UNICARD/CopyCard equipped with the application; •...
6.4. COMPRESSOR The compressor is controlled by the device’s relay. It will be switched on or off depending on: • the temperature status readings from the cold room probe • the temperature control functions set • the defrost/dripping functions (see Defrost chapter) 6.4.1.
6.5. COMPRESSOR/GENERAL PROTECTIONS Description If the cold room probe is in error E1 the output relay configured as compressor/general regulates in accordance with the times set in parameters Ont and OFt. The first time to consider is Ont. If Ont >0 the protection programmed in parameters dOn-dOF-dbi (see safety compressor times).
6.5.1. Compressor safety timings Compressor on-off operations must respect the safety times that you can set using the special parameters as described below. The compressor icon will flash to indicate when a compressor activation request has been received but a safety protection exists.
User parameters The parameters that manage this regulator are: Label Description Compressor output ON time in the event of a faulty Pb1 probe Compressor output OFF time in the event of a faulty Pb1 probe Compressor output activation delay from request Compressor output activation delay from shutdown Delay between two consecutive starts of the compressor output Output activation delay from power-on...
6.6.2. Automatic defrosting The defrost cycle is programmed to start at intervals. NOTE: To disable the automatic cycle, set dit=0. If dit>0, the defrost cycles will be run at fixed intervals, as indicated in parameter dit and the interval time is counted as follows: Par.
6.6.4. External defrost If the Digital Input is configured for this function (if H11...H13 = 1) and if conditions permit, defrost can be requested and the corresponding regulator activated. Time graphs for signals in each of the various function modes are presented below. NOTE: Defrost activation occurs when the signal is toggled and the polarity can be selected.
6.6.5. Defrost WITH REMOTE START/STOP If the Digital Input is configured for this function (if H11...H13 = ±22) defrost with start/stop is activated from remote. The defrost is switched on when the digital input becomes active. Vice versa, when the digital input is disabled, the defrost ends.
6.7. DEFROST MODE 6.7.1. Defrost with electric heaters Defrost with electric heaters is configured via parameter dtY = 0. The compressor remains stopped for the duration of the defrost cycle and the relay configured as defrost regulator output, to which the electric heaters are connected, activates. On completion of defrost, the electric heaters are switched off and the compressor remains off for the dripping time set in parameter dt, if it is not equal to zero.
6.7.2. Inverse defrost Hot gas defrost is configured by setting parameter dtY = 1. The compressor stays on for the entire duration of the defrost cycle and the relay configured as defrost regulator output, and that the solenoid valve is connected to, activates. On completion of the defrost cycle, the valve relay is de-energised and the dripping phase set in parameter dt (if not equal to zero) is interrupted.
6.7.3. Double evaporator defrost The defrost for a second evaporator can be controlled via the probe configured as second evaporator. Configure a relay output (see configuration parameters H21…H25) as a defrost relay for evaporator 2. To enable this function, you need to: •...

°C (Pb3) 6.8.3. Fan operation in Duty-Cycle mode For Duty-cycle operation, parameters Fon and FoF must be set accordingly; The fans operate as follows: DUTY-CYCLE Fan operation ≠0 ≠0 DUTY-CYCLE ≠0 ≠0 The fan regulator will operate in Duty-cycle mode as illustrated below: DUTY-CYCLE 9MA10258.01 07/2018...
6.8.4. Fan operation in defrost During defrost, the fans operate as shown in this diagram dFd = n: the fans are not excluded during defrost TEMPERATURE CONTROL / DUTY-CYCLE (see parameters FCO, Fon, FoF) dFd = y: exclusion of fans during defrost Thermostat control of fans takes place at the values set in parameters: •...
6.8.5. Fan function during dripping If parameter dt ≠ 0 (dripping time), the fans will stay OFF for the time set in this parameter. See “Defrost with electric heaters”. Note that if Fdt (fan delay time) is greater than dt (dripping time) the fans stay OFF for the time set in Fdt rather than dt (e.g.
6.9. DEEP COOLING CYCLE - DCC Description This regulator ensures that the compressor regulates the setpoint dCS, with differential equal to the value set via parameter diF. When the DCC (Deep Cooling Cycle) activates, the interval between defrost cycles is cleared and defrosts are disabled. Ending of the DCC is time-based, by setting the parameter tdc≠0, or when the setpoint dCS if tdc = 0.
6.11. PRESSURE SWITCH This regulator performs diagnostic procedures on an activated digital input by assigning the value ±11 (General pressure switch), ±09 (Minimum pressure switch) or ±10 (Maximum pressure switch) to one of the parameters H11...H13. If a pressure switch input is activated, power to the compressor loads is immediately cut off, the corresponding alarm icon lights up to provide a visual warning and the alarms folder ALr is also displayed.
6.11.1. AUXILIARY OUTPUT (AUX/LIGHT) Description If one of the parameters H21...H25 is set to the value H2x=5, it anticipates the relay control as AUX and, by pressing the associated key H32...H35 which must be set to the value H3x=2, the relay is activated if it was off previously and vice-versa. The on/off status is saved in non-volatile memory hence when power returns after a blackout, the device will restart in the status that was active prior to the blackout.
6.12. DOOR/EXTERNAL ALARM MANAGEMENT The door switch input is associated to an appropriately configured digital input (H1x = ±4). By controlling the opening of the door, it is possible to disable the compressor output and/or the fans. It is also possible to associate a deactivation delay with the compressor output by means of parameter dCO. If the door is opened during a defrost cycle, the cycle is not shut down.
6.13. DEMISTING HEATERS (FRAME HEATERS) The controller is equipped with a regulator for the demisting heaters. Operating conditions The table below lists the ways the relay output can be managed: FRAME HEATER OUT >0 >0 >0 >0 Duty-cycle Where HOn = 0 the regulator is always off, while if HOn > 0 and HOF = 0 the regulator is always on. If HOn >...
6.14. CONDENSER FANS This regulator is associated with probe Pb3 (see specific section) and features: • intervention setpoint SCF • operating differential dCF • exclusion of fans during defrost dCd • activation delay after end of defrost tCF If a digital output is set as condenser fans (H21...H25=12), this output will behave as follows: SCF-dCF °C If probe Pb3 is not present and if alarm E3 is active, the regulator will always be active except during the defrost cycle.
6.15. STAND-BY Operating conditions The stand-by regulator can be activated by digital input (if configured) or by key (if programmed). With the device OFF the display shows “OFF” and all regulators are blocked including alarms. When the device is switched on via a key or an appropriately configured digital input, regular operation commences, the same as from power-on.
