1652H302 Ed.10 Keypad Pressing it for 3 seconds activates/deactivates the Stand-By mode. In this mode, regulation is paused and the m icon is displayed. In the programming menu, it exits the parameter without saving changes, returns to the previous level or exits programming.
1652H302 Ed.10 Installation Ø Max. 20 mm -Remove the bezels (1) -Make a 1/4 turn of the screws (2) anti-clockwise and open the door (3). -Install the necessary glands (4 / 5) by drilling holes in the Ø Max. 25 mm points indicated on the box.
Check the available options on the diagram sheet included with your device. The AKO-16523D model has a contactor which allows for the connection of three-phase defrost resistors, a three- phase compressor or three-phase fans, according to your installation’s requirements. Check how to connect it on the diagram sheet included with your device.
If the pump down function is active, a certain amount of time may elapse between starting the stand-by function and the controller stopping (see p. 11). * o00=2 in AKO-16523 / 16520 / AKO-16523-V, o00=0 in AKO-16523P / 16520P / 16523D / 16523L.
1652H302 Ed.10 Operation Messages MESSAGES Pump down malfunction error (stop), the time configured in parameter C20 has been exceeded (see p. 11). Only displayed on screen. Pump down malfunction error (start-up), the time configured in parameter C19 has been exceeded (see p. 11). Only displayed on screen.

1652H302 Ed.10 Cold regulation Solenoid control (COOL Relay) SP+C1 Cold production is regulated by means of opening / closing the solenoid valve. When the temperature in probe S1 reaches the set point (SP) value plus the probe's differential (C1), the solenoid opens and causes the temperature to drop.
Page 11
1652H302 Ed.10 Pump down function This function foresees problems in the compressor caused by movements of coolant, using a stop/start technique for the installation, controlled via the liquid solenoid, the low pressure switch and the compressor itself. This function is only available for In{ options 2, 5, 7, 9 and 12 and requires the connection of a low pressure switch in digital input 1.

1652H302 Ed.10 Compressor protection timing Parameter C4 allows for selection of the type of timing to be applied to protect the compressor. These delays prevent continuous compressor starts and stops. These timings affect the COOL and AUX 1 relays (if o00=1) OFF-ON (C4=0): Minimum time in OFF mode before each start-up.

1652H302 Ed.10 Defrost Types of defrost There are 5 possible defrost types, depending on the option selected in the wizard (Inl): Electric (InI=1, 2 and 3) (d7=0) Defrost is performed through electrical resistors, supplying the evaporator with heat. The operation of fans in this mode depends on parameter F3;...
Page 15
1652H302 Ed.10 Reversed cycle (InI=9 y 10) (d7=3) A 4-way valve is used to invert the installation cycle, using the evaporator as a condenser to melt the ice formed. The process begins by stopping cold production (if it is active). If Pump Down is active, defrost begins once the manoeuvre is complete.
Page 16
1652H302 Ed.10 Fan start-up delay This is established through parameter F4 and allows for the possible drops left in the evaporator to freeze before the fans activate, preventing them from being projected into the cold room. It also prevents heat being supplied to the cold room due to defrost in the evaporator.
Page 17
1652H302 Ed.10 Other parameters Using parameter d5, you can configure whether the unit performs a defrost (d5=1) or not (d5=0) when it receives power (first start-up or after a power supply failure). Should the option YES (d5=1) be selected, defrost will begin once the delay time defined in d6 has elapsed.

1652H302 Ed.10 Alerts The device alerts the user through an on-screen message when an event occurs which requires his/her attention. However, it does not activate the sound alarm or the alarm relay (if active). Defrost finished by time alarm The message Adt is displayed when a defrost has completed due to time-out, if parameter A8=1. Pump down malfunction error (stop) The message Pd is displayed if a malfunction is detected when the installation is stopped using the pump down manoeuvre.
