NECTORS27 GENERAL INFORMATION For reasons of safety and greater practicality for the operator, the NECTOR system provides three levels of parameter programming; the first for the configuration of parameters that can be frequently modified by the user, the second reserved for the installer for programming of the parameters relating to the various operating modes and the third reserved for the installer dedicated to the configuration of the system.

Page 32
NECTORS27 HOT mode (mod parameter = 1) The NECTOR controller activates the heating element command when the room temperature drops below the set value minus the differential (r0); it switches off the resistance when the room temperature is higher than the set value. With mod = 1 it’s possible to connect the heating resistances also to the compressor output (which bears resistive loads greater than the configurable outputs, see chap.
Page 33
NECTORS27 HOT GAS DEFROSTING 5.23 Parameters: d1 (3°). Set parameter d1 =1 for hot gas defrost management. The compressor relay and defrost relays are activated throughout the defrost phase. For the correct management of the system: - Connect the cycle reversal solenoid valve to the defrost output. - Connect the liquid solenoid valve to the liquid solenoid valve outlet (AUx = +/- 8) Doing so during the defrosting phase will ensure closing of the liquid solenoid valve and activation of the hot gas defrosting cycle.
Page 34
NECTORS27 PASSWORD PROTECTION 5.28 Parameters: PA (2°), P1 (2°). The password function is activated by setting a value other than 0 for the PA parameter. See parameter P1 for different security levels. Protection is automatically enabled after about 2 minutes of inactivity on the keyboard. ...
Page 35
NECTORS27 FAN SPEED MANAGEMENT – 0-10V OUTPUT 5.31 Parameters: Ao1 (3°), An5 (3°), Au1/2 (3°), FsE (2°). CONDENSER FAN MANAGEMENT If Ao1=2, An5=3 and AU1/2 = +/- 9 the condenser fans are managed with the 0-10V output and sideband type adjustment. The configured auxiliary digital output (AU1 or AU2) is used as consent. The fan speed adjustment follows the operation of graph no.
Page 36
NECTORS27 PRESSURE DECREASING (Graph 2): With pressure values of the pressure probe equal to or greater than point (D) the analog output will be 10V. Between point (D) and point (E) the analogue output will have a value proportional to the value of the pressure probe starting from the maximum value of 10V and reaching the minimum value iMv.

NECTORS27 COLD WATER MANAGEMENT 5.32 Cold water management can be enabled via parameter Ao1. The reference probes change based on the value of An4. Cold water management Ao1=3 An4≠3 An4=3 Reference setpoint Ambient Set Differential Delay in response - Set An4 = 3, if the system directly regulates the temperature of the cold water (with a probe on the pipe) to control the temperature of the air leaving the exchanger.

NECTORS27 COLD ROOM DOOR SWITCH MANAGEMENT 5.33 Parameters: doC (2°), Tdo (2°). When the cold room door is opened, the evaporator fans turn off and the compressor will continue to operate for the doC time, after which it will turn off. After the tdo time, normal operation of the control is restored by giving the “open door”...
