F13 - Evaporator temperature (S2) for end defrost
If the temperature in the evaporator (sensor S2) reaches the adjusted value, the end of defrost will be for
temperature. With this, the defrost process is optimized.
F14 - Maximum duration of defrost (for security)
This function serves to adjust the maximum value of time for defrost. If evaporator temperature does not
reach the configured value in F13 in this period a point will blink in the right down side of display
indicating that end of defrost ocurred for time and not for temperature.
The end of defrost by time (which is not desired) can happen on the following situations:
(F13)
-Adjusted temperature too high;
(F14)
- Maximum time of defrost too short;
- Detached S1 sensor or without contact with evaporator.
F15 - Fan turned on during defrost
It makes possible the fan functioning during defrost.
Example: Natural defrost or by resistances installed outside the evaporator.
F16 - Defrost type
"0" = Electrical defrost (resistances), where the defrost output is active.
"1" = Defrost by hot gas, where compressor and defrost outputs are actives.
F17 - Locked temperature indication (S1) during defrost
This function prevents that room temperature elevation during defrost be visualized, keeping the last
indication before defrost. The indication is released again in the initial of refrigeration cycle, after fan-
delay.
F18 - Draining time (dripping of defrost water)
Necessary time for dripping, it means, for draining the last water drops of evaporator. All the outputs are
kept off. If this stage will not be desired, adjust this time for "zero".
F19 - Evaporator temperature (S2) for fan return after draining (fan-delay)
The fan-delay cycle starts after draining. The refrigeration output (REF1) is active, therefore the ambient
temperature is high, but the fan is actived only after the temperature in evaporator is less than the
adjusted value. This process is necessary to remove the heat that still exists in the evaporator because
of defrost, preventing to transfer this heat to the ambient.
F20 - Maximum time of fan return after draining (fan-delay)
For security, if the temperature in the evaporator does not reach the adjusted value in
is detached, the fan-delay will happen on the adjusted time in this function.
F21 - Fan on with compressor off
During the refrigeration cycle, the fan activation may depends on the compressor status.
"0" = The fan is actived only while the compressor is active. This alternative, in some
cases, allows great economy of electric energy.
"1" = The fan is kept on during all refrigeration cycle.
F22 - Fan stopped for high temperature in evaporator
It has for purpose the cycle of evaporator ventilation until the ambient temperature approaches the
desired temperature in the refrigerating installation project, preventing high temperatures and
pressures that can damage the compressor. If the temperature in evaporator exceed the adjusted value,
the fan is turned off and turned on again with a fixed hysteresis of 2°C below this value. Valuable
resource when refrigeration equipment that had been inactive for a few days or refrigerated cases are
restocked with its proper merchandise.
F23 - Offset indication for ambient sensor (Offset S1)
F24 - Offset indication for evaporator sensor (Offset S2)
It allows to compensate eventual shuting lines on reading of ambient or evaporator sensor (S1 or S2),
proceeding of sensor exchange or cable length alteration.
F25 Pre-defrosting time
This is to collect the remaining gas from the refrigerating gas line before starting the defrosting cycle, thus
increasing the system efficiency. Only the FANS output remains ON during this time.
F26 - Max. operation time for output REF1 before maintenance.
This allows to configure an operation time (hours x 10) for output REF1 in order to indicate the need of
maintenance for the first compressor. When this operation time is reached, the display shows
can be reset by the user at this point.
F27 - Max. operation time for output REF2 before maintenance
This allows to configure an operation time (hours x 10) for output REF2 in order to indicate the need of
maintenance for the first compressor. When this operation time is reached, the display shows
can be reset by the user at this point.

5.5 - How to determine the end defrost by temperature
a) Adjust the follow functions with maximum values:
- Refrigeration time (F08 = 999 min)
- Evaporator temperature for end defrost (F13 = 75.0 ºC)
- Maximum duration of defrost (F14 = 90 min)
b) Wait until an ice layer to be created on the evaporator

- There are burned resistances;
- The hot gas is not circulating;
