EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 618 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC618E204 REGULATIONS Pre-cooling The purpose of the pre-cooling cycle is to bring the cabinet to a certain temperature before selecting and running a retarding-proofing cycle. During a pre-cooling cycle the compressor, condenser fans, pump-down solenoid valve (if enabled) and evaporator fan are working to reach the set temperature.
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 618 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC618E204 Humidity regulation In all phases where this is required, the humidity is regulated with a humidity transducer enabled in the neutral zone in which two values are set one above and one below the humidity setpoint, thus creating a zone inside which the loads for humidification and dehumidification are not activated.
