6.3.2 Fast Freezing
In the fast freezing mode the cooling output remains permanently activated, thus accelerating the
cooling or freezing process. This operating mode can be activated or deactivated in the quick access
menu through the [FASt] option or through an external switch connected to the digital input (F52 or
F53). It can also be deactivated automatically by low temperature (F33) or by time (F34). During
operation in the fast freezing mode, the compressor on indication flashes quickly and defrost keeps
happening. If, when activating the fast freezing mode, the controller identifies that there is a defrost
scheduled to start by time in this period, the defrost will be performed immediately before entering the
fast freezing mode.
6.3.3 Economic setpoint (SPE)
The [SP-E] provides the system with greater economy by using more flexible parameters for
temperature control (F27- Economic Setpoint and F28 - Control Differential). When active, the [ECO,]
message is displayed alternating with the temperature and other messages. The operation in economy
mode can be activated or deactivated through the commands:

6.3.4 Manual defrost
The defrost process can be activated/deactivated manually in the quick access menu through the
<
[defr] or pressing the for 4 seconds or using external switch connected to digital input
F53). Activation or deactivation will be indicated by the messages [defr][On,,] or
[defr][OFF,] respectively.
6.3.5 How to determine the end of defrost by temperature
a) Reconfigure the listed functions at the end of the defrost to the maximum value:
- Cooling time (Interval between defrosts) F8 = 999min.
- Evaporator temperature to end defrost F13 = 105°C / 221°F
- Maximum defrost time F14 = 90min.
b) Wait for a while until a layer of ice forms in the evaporator.
;
c) Perform a manual defrost (using the
scroll key up to [dEFr] and press
d) Follow the melting process.
e) Wait until all of the ice in the evaporator has melted to consider the process completed.
f) With the defrost finished, check the evaporator temperature (S2) using the
6.3.9).
g) Using the value read in S2, set the temperature for end of defrost
- Evaporator temperature for end of defrost F13 =Temp. S2
h) For safety, reset the maximum defrost time, according to the type of defrost set.
Eg:
- Electrical defrost (by resistance) F14 = 45min.
- Hot gas defrost F14 = 20min.
i)Finally, set the cooling time (F8) at the desired value.
6.3.6 Defrost with two evaporators
With S3 configured for the 2nd evaporator (F52), the Fan output allows control of the second resistance.
Defrost always starts with the two outputs triggered. The resistors are shut down individually as their
evaporators reach the temperature to end defrost. With the two outputs off or having the maximum
defrost time elapsed, the draining process is started. With these settings, all the features of the Fan
are disregarded, including the Fan Delay process.
6.3.7 Functions Lockdown
The use of the functions lockdown adds greater security to the operation of the controller. When it is
active, the setpoint and other parameters are visible to the user, but are protected against undue
changes (F57=2) or you can block changes of control functions and leave the adjustment of the setpoint
enabled (F57=1). To activate the functions lock, access the [LOC,] option in the quick access menu.
Then [no,,] message will be displayed (lock must be enabled and inactive). With that on the display,
>
press the key for the time configured for the functions lock (F58), the activation is indicated by the
[LOC,][On,,]message. To enable the use of this function, F57 must be configured with 1 or 2.
When trying to change the parameters, the[LOC,]message indicates that the functions lock is active,
to deactivate it, turn the controller off and then turn it on again with the
pressed until the [LOC,][OFF,]message indicates the unlocking (10 seconds).
6.3.8 Control functions shutdown
The shutdown of the control functions allows the controller to operate only as a temperature indicator,
keeping the control outputs and alarms off. The use of this feature is enabled or disabled by the
shutdown function of the control functions (F56). When enabled, the control functions and alarms are
switched off ([CTRL][OFF,]) or on ([Ctrl][ON,,]) in the quick access menu through the
[Ctrl] option. When the control functions are off, the message [OFF,]is displayed alternating with
the temperature and other messages. Also is possible turn on/ turn off the control functions by pressing
;
the key for 5 seconds.
Note: The time defined in the startup delay function begins counting once the control functions are
switched on again.

menu or by pressing the key while displaying the temperature. The minimum and maximum
temperatures recorded for each sensor are displayed in sequence preceded by identification messages
[rEg,], [,t-1] for ambient sensor (S1), [,t-2] for S2 (when active) and [,t-3] for S3 (when
active). To delete the minimum and maximum recorded values, hold the
displaying records or use the [CrEg]option in the quick access menu. The [rSET] message
indicates that the records have been deleted.
6.3.11 Unit Selection
