Where defrost is being terminated by temperature, it has an input for an evaporator probe(s). The Universal-R is equipped with an internal alarm buzzer, a flashing visual alarm as well as a 4th relay (volt free) that can be configured as Auxiliary or Alarm, to control a heater in Dead Band control (see parameter oAC) or to control the defrosting of a second evaporator (when “tC”...
This Quick Start Up section is designed to get you up and running with the minimum of fuss. Just follow these 5 simple steps. Install the new Universal-R, connect the correct number of probes and connect the wiring - See below:...

Delay of temperature alarm at start-up: (from 0 to 720min; res. 10min) time delay of any temperature alarm during pull down following “power on”. Outputs activation delay at start up: (0 to 255min) time delay before any output relay activates following “power on”. 1592031000 Univ-R4 GB - r1.1 - 2012.07.23 Universal-R 10/20...

10. OTHER FEATURES OF THE UNIVERSAL-R As well as the main digital display, there are some small icons on the front panel. These are used to monitor the loads controlled by the instrument. Each icon function is described in the following table.
15.2 ALARM “EE” The Dixell Universal-R is provided with an internal watchdog verifying data and memory integrity. Alarm “EE” will flash after detecting a failure in data or in the internal memory. In this case, the alarm output is enabled.
17. MOUNTING The Universal-R should be mounted in a panel, in a 29 x 71 mm hole, and fixed using the special brackets supplied. Ambient temperature for correct operation is 0 to 50°C. Avoid places subject to strong vibrations, corrosive gases, excessive dirt or humidity (20 to 85% non- condensing RH is the recommended working range).
Adjust FSt to a higher setting. During commissioning, set it above Evaporator fan short cycling Parameter FSt set too low. ambient until pull down is complete, then re-set to a more suitable temperature. 1592031000 Univ-R4 GB - r1.1 - 2012.07.23 Universal-R 19/20...
