    (see reference manuals). The electrical connection between the panel and the controller must only be carried out using the 4-pin serial cable provided by ATEX. The display panel must be mounted in a position that is not subjected to shocks, vibrations, splashes of water and in any case where the temperature and humidity do not exceed the specification values.
  • Page 9 ECO 6 – User and installation manual Install the NTC thermostat probe in a position not subjected to airflows in order to be able to measure the actual temperature of the refrigerated compartment. The NTC probe is enabled by IS1 parameter; to connect the NTC probe to the board use a 6-pin male connector, 3.81 step. OF1 parameter is dedicated to the calibration of the S1 thermostat probe.

  • Page 11 ECO 6 – User and installation manual It is the main operating mode for maintaining the coldroom temperature at the set set. The regulation is of the upper and lower band type with reference to the set and to the HYH and HYL regulation differentials with reference to the relay configured with action 01.
  • Page 12 ECO 6 – User and installation manual This is the criterion used in case the failure of the thermostat probe S1 occurs before the calculation of the average compressor operating times; therefore the times refer to the parameters CON (compressor switch-on minutes) and COF (compressor pause minutes). In this temporary operating mode the set temperature can not be controlled with the required accuracy.
  • Page 13 ECO 6 – User and installation manual The controller manages several defrost types according to the DOP parameter with reference to the relay configured with action 02: defrost by stop, electric defrost, hot gas defrost. The defrost by stop forces the shutdown of the compressor and activates the evaporator fans until the end defrost conditions are reached;...
  • Page 14 ECO 6 – User and installation manual Manual defrosts can be activated from the keypad on the appropriate menu. Defrosts occur every ITD hours of operation. The start of the defrost can take place immediately or at the end of the compressor cycle according with the DOP superparameter.
  • Page 15 ECO 6 – User and installation manual The following modes refer to the FOP parameter: − Forced on: indicated for defrost at compressor stop − Forced off: indicated for all other types of defrost − Modulated by FSD: for all types of defrost, excluding defrost by compressor stop, where a better defrosting efficiency is required.
  • Page 16 ECO 6 – User and installation manual If the PDD parameter is set higher than 0, the defrost start when the temperature has reached (SPU-PDD)°C. In refrigerators with a double evaporator (ice cream display cabinets) the defrosts on the first and second evaporator must be managed separately according to the specified methods.

  • Page 18 ECO 6 – User and installation manual In this configuration, defined by FOP parameter, with reference to the relay configured with action 03, the evaporator fans will have consent only with the compressor on. Otherwise they will remain disabled. In addition to the main consent, the evaporator fans are subject to the following conditions: Fan ON for S2 <= FAS;...
  • Page 19 ECO 6 – User and installation manual The condenser fans are thermostated during the cooling action with the following criteria and with reference to the relay configured with action 04: Off: S3 <= FCE; On: S3> [FCE + HYF]°C Off after 10 seconds from compressor off In case of S3 probe faulty or disabled, the condenser fans replicate the operation of the compressor while in defrosting follow the criteria defined by the FOP parameter.
  • Page 20 ECO 6 – User and installation manual If, within a TBP minute, a PMT number of events described is counted, to the next one, the reset will be manual: the reset of the regulation will be turned off and on the controller, provided that the condition [MCT-DCR]°C is verified at power-on.
  • Page 21 ECO 6 – User and installation manual The controller detect a high pressure switch transition from open to closed circuit or vice versa in digital input D2. The transition has the effect to stop the regulation. In High pressure condition the compressor is forced off; during this status the controller is in pause with no warning.
  • Page 22 ECO 6 – User and installation manual Light is controlled through configured relay with action 05. Light is switched on by a door opening and off when is closed if DLT=0; for DLT> 0 light goes off automatically after DLT seconds from the opening.
  • Page 23 ECO 6 – User and installation manual The configured relay with action 22 is enabled each time the dry phase is activated. The relay configured with action 23 is enabled/disabled each time the button plate is pressed. Opening the door disables the output until it is closed again.
  • Page 24 ECO 6 – User and installation manual A new parameter LOF [0-23] defines the time for switching off the light when the time passes [0=disabled]. There are no inhibitions if the light is subsequently switched on from the keyboard. The switch-off time can be set via LOF menu or through the application.
  • Page 25 ECO 6 – User and installation manual For positive ventilated cabinets, humidity control can be carried out by means of the evaporator fan timing. The function is enabled according to FOP parameter. This function is disabled in the following cases: until the first setpoint is reached, in the recovery phase after a defrost and after a door opening.
  • Page 26 ECO 6 – User and installation manual This function is used in ice cream cabinets. When the artisan gelato is removed from the trays it is useful to generate a cycle of ice melting and drying. The function consists of the following phases: defrost, ventilation and shutdown.
