Safety Tips By drilling the walls of the unit or the isothermal cold room, you could damage the electric wires or the refrigeration piping. Should such action be strictly nec- essary, great care should be taken to avoid any damage. Touching turning fans and moving belts can cause irreparable damage or injury.
Engine The PERKINS engines fitted on all DFZ ZANOTTI refrigeration units are designed to keep pollution caused by exhaust gas at a minimum level. However, we strongly recommend to avoid starting the engine in a confined area, as the exhaust gas is toxic. The symptoms caused by carbon monoxide produced by fuel combustion are the following: –...
How to order spare parts When ordering spare parts, always include the serial number shown on the machine's rating plate. Disposing of the packing Dispose of all wooden, plastic and polystyrene packing in compliance with the laws in force in the Country where the equipment is used. Disposing of the machine Should the machine be scrapped, its components must not be scattered in the environment.
1. Description of the machine The DFZ refrigeration units are made up of the following main components: 1. a condensing unit installed outside the isothermal box; 2. an evaporating unit installed inside the isothermal box; 3. an electronic central control unit located in the driver's cab of the vehicle.

2. Rating plate The DFZ ZANOTTI units are identified by plates located on the right side of the condensing circuit. They contain all the information to be communicated to the technicians in case of servicing, i.e.: – model – serial number –...
3. Description of the central control unit The DFZ ZANOTTI refrigeration units are equipped with a microprocessor-based electronic controller (driver's cabin control) which manages operation in a fully automatic way. In particular, the electronic controller supervises the operations for turning the diesel engine and electric motor on and off depending on the set temperature.
4. Operation 4.1 Before operating the unit 1. Check the belts. In fact, their tension must be perfect in order to prevent them from slipping if they are too slack (as this would generate heat and would therefore shorten the life of the belts) or the bearings from wearing out too fast if the belts are too tight.
4.2 Setting the unit at work Press push-button 1 to turn on the driver's cabin control. The mask shown in f i g . 2 will appear after a few seconds. This mask shows: • TA1: Cold room temperature • SP1: operating set point •...
If two cold rooms are present, the mask will appear: To program the set point of the second cold room SP2, proceed as follows: - Press key : the cursor will start blinking under the present SP1 set point value. - Press the key until the value relating to SP2 is highlighted.
WARNING If the plug is connected before the diesel engine is stopped using the button ( f i g . 2 ), the diesel engine will turn off and the electric motor will come on after approximately 5 minutes. Similarly, if power is interrupted during electric standby, automatic startup of the diesel engine will take place after 5 minutes.
In this mask, you can see for how many hours the oil and oil filter have been used, as well as the total working hours of the diesel engine and electric motor. When the oil or oil filter have been used for over a limit number of hours, the sym- will be displayed on the main mask;...

USER'S HANDBOOK UPDATE The cabin command has a slightly different graphic display and several new functions. The main window is as shown in the figure below: In this window three indications can be seen at the top left: which indicates the automatic function (start/stop); the snow-flake which indicates turning on of cold;...
4.8 Time and display contrast programming Starting from the main mask and pressing key first and then key , you will access the mask below. By pressing key you can access the clock programming mask: press key to highlight the day, press the key to go from one term to another, press the UP/DOWN key to set the new value.
4.8.1 Continuous operation This function allows the start/stop function of the Diesel motor to be cut-out and kept in motion in a continuous way; to activate this function starting from the main window press the key , the following window appears: then press the key , instead of will appear on the display indicating...
4.8.3 Keyboard block To prevent unwanted interventions the keyboard blocking function has been introduced; activate it starting from the main window, press the key then the key , in this way the following window is accessed: now press the key , to go to the following window where entering the password will automatically bring up the following window which will be the only one that can be displayed and the on/off key will be the...

Page 31
A04 Pressure switch alarm This alarm occurs when either the high or low pressure switch trips. The high pressure switch may trip due to poor cleaning of the condenser or loosened con- denser fan belts. The low pressure switch may trip due to refrigerant leaks. By tripping it causes the machine to stop until the alarm itself disappears.

A11 Oil level alarm (optional) It is a warning alarm which has no consequences on the operation of the machine. A12 Air filter alarm This alarm occurs if the air filter cartridge is clogged. Replace the cartridge. It is a warning alarm which has no consequences on the operation of the machine. A13 Oil filter alarm (optional) It is a warning alarm which has no consequences on the operation of the machine.
Avoid positioning the goods leaning on the cold room walls. In fact, the walls fil- ter heat from the environment, which is most damaging to this type of goods. The DFZ ZANOTTI refrigeration units are designed to keep the goods at their loading temperature.
• 0/15 cm (4/6 in) is the minimum clearance between the cargo and the walls of the cold room. • When parking, leave your vehicle in the shade and make sure that the DFZ ZANOTTI refrigeration unit does not remain idle for a long time.
6. Using the unit safely The DFZ ZANOTTI units are built to keep the operators safe. The use of protec- tion gloves is, in any case, fundamentally important during controls, repairs, and maintenance for every action which the operator must carry out inside the unit,...
7. Routine maintenance MAINTENANCE INTERVALS 50 hours 1000 hours Action or 15 days or 10 months • Check the concentration of coolant • Check the trapezoidal belts for tension and wear • Check and adjust the engine RPM • Check that all screws and nuts are well tightened •...
Page 37
Important • Carry out the following maintenance operations after one year: - renovating refrigerant, - checking and adjusting valve clearances, - checking that the cylinder heads are well tightened, - checking that the injectors are in good working condition. BELTS Properly tensioned belts allow a good transmission and wear out less.
• The isothermal cold room might be damaged or have leaks. Should you find any other faults, check the alarm pages on the keyboard locat- ed on the vehicle's dashboard. In case of further problems, contact the nearest ZANOTTI dealer.
