Warnings
-If the equipment is used without adhering to the manufacturer's instructions, the device safety
requirements could be compromised. Only probes supplied by AKO must be used for the unit to operate
correctly.
2
-From -40 ºC to +20 °C, if the NTC probe is extended to 1000 m with at least a 0.5 mm cable, the maximum
deviation will be 0.25 ºC (cable for probe extension ref. AKO-15586. Earth the cable mesh at one end only).
-Only NTC type probes supplied by AKO must be used for the appliance to operate correctly.
-It must be installed in a place protected from vibrations, water and corrosive gases, where the ambient
temperature does not exceed the value indicated in the technical data.
-For the reading to be correct, the probe must be used in a place without thermal influences apart from the
temperature you want to measure or control.
-IP65 protection degree is only valid with the protection cover closed.
-The IP65 protection degree is only valid if the cables enter the device through a tube for electric conduits +
gland with IP65 or above. The size of the glands must be suitable for the diameter of the tube used.
-Do not spray the unit directly with high-pressure hoses, as this could damage it.
IMPORTANT:
ŸThe AUXILIARY relays are programmable, and their operation depends on the configuration.
ŸThe function of the digital inputs depends on the configuration.
ŸThe recommended currents and powers are the maximum working currents and powers.
Wiring
Always disconnect the power supply to do the wiring.
The probes and their cables must NEVER be installed in a conduit together with power, control or power
supply cables.
For disconnection, the power supply circuit must be equipped with at least a 2 A, 230 V switch, located near
the device. The power supply cable shall be of the H05VV-F or NYM 1x16/3 type. The cross-section to be used

Cold regulation
Solenoid control (COOL Relay)
Cold production is regulated by means of opening /
closing the solenoid valve.
When the temperature in probe S1 reaches the set
point (SPt) value plus the probe's differential (C1),
the solenoid opens and causes the temperature to
drop. Once the set point (SPt) value is reached, the
solenoid closes.
Compressor control (Relay AUX 1)
With Pump Down (In1: 4, 5, 6)
Requires the connection of a low pressure
switch in digital input 1.
When the temperature in probe S1 reaches the set
point (SPt) value plus the probe’s differential (C1), the
solenoid opens, causing the pressure in the evaporator
to increase and, therefore, the low pressure switch
deactivates and the compressor starts up.
Once the set point (SPt) value is reached, the
solenoid closes, causing the pressure in the
evaporator to decrease, triggering the low pressure
switch and stopping the compressor.
For further details of the process, see the next page.
Without Pump Down (Inl: 7, 8, 9)
The compressor operates simultaneously with the solenoid valve, starting up when the latter opens and stopping
when it closes.
Operation in the event of a fault in probe S1
If probe S1 fails (fault, disconnection, etc. ), compressor behaviour will depend on parameter C6, with one of 3
options available:
C6=0: The compressor is stopped until probe S1 begins to operate again.
C6=1: The compressor is started-up until probe S1 begins to operate again
C6=2: The compressor operates in line with the times programmed in C7 (ON) and C8 (OFF).
Calibration of probe 1
Parameter C0 allows for correction of the temperature detected by probe 1; this is particularly useful when
the probe cannot be located in the ideal place.
Set Point locking
Parameters C2 and C3 allow for an upper and lower limit to be established for the set point (SPt), to protect
the product or installation from Set Point manipulation.

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.
OFF-ON / ON-OFF (C4=1): Minimum time in ON and OFF mode for each cycle.
The delay time is defined by means of parameter C5; if C5=0, timing is disabled.
Moisture regulation
Moisture regulation is carried out using the moisture probe and the regulation of different devices:
To increase moisture
ŸHumidifier: Connected to the HUMID. relay (In2: 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12) (Control ON/OFF) or to the
analogue output AN. OUT (In2: 2, 4, 7, 10 and 13) (Control 4-20 mA), it increases
cold room moisture as necessary.
To reduce moisture
ŸDehumidifier: Connected to the AUX 3 relay (In2: 12, 13 and 14), reduces cold room moisture as
necessary.
ŸCold provision: Through cold provision, cold room moisture is reduced, provided that the cold
room’s temperature is higher than the temperature Set Point.
ŸHeat + cold provision: Through heat provision, whether via resistors or Hot Gas (or both), the unit can
produce cold for a longer period of time to reduce moisture even below the
temperature Set Point, since heat provision will regulate the temperature.
If the moisture probe reaches the Set Point value (SPH) plus the
differential (rH01), dehumidification is activated until the SPH is reached.
If the moisture probe reaches the Set Point value (SPH) minus the
differential (rH01), humidification is activated until the SPH is reached.

1662H402 Ed.01

Regulation types, depending on the installation
The controller’s priority is temperature regulation.
Humidification + Dehumidification (via cold provision) - In2: 1 and 2
To increase moisture, the humidifier is activated and to reduce moisture, cold provision is activated, provided that
the temperature is above the SPt.
If the temperature reaches the SPt value, dehumidification stops.
Humidification + Dehumidification (via cold + heat provision) - In2: 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10
To increase moisture, the humidifier is activated and to reduce moisture, cold provision is activated.
If, during this process, the temperature falls below the SPt minus the C1 differential, heat provision is activated,
firstly via Hot Gas (if available) and, after the time defined in rH06 has elapsed, via electrical resistors (if available),
until the temperature reaches the SPt again.
Should heat provision via Hot Gas not be available, the resistors are activated without taking parameter rH06 into
account.
Humidification + Dehumidification (via dehumidifier + cold provision) - In2: 12 and 13
To increase moisture, the humidifier is activated and to reduce moisture, the dehumidifier is activated.
If, after the time defined in rH05 has elapsed, moisture has not reduced to the SPH value and the cold room
temperature is higher than the SPt, heat provision is activated to reduce moisture.
If the temperature reaches the SPt value, cold provision stops but the dehumidifier remains active until the SPH
value is reached.
Only Dehumidification (via cold + heat provision) - In2: 5, 8 and 11
The controller cannot increase cold room moisture; it can only reduce it by activating cold provision.
If, during this process, the temperature falls below the SPt minus the C1 differential, heat provision is activated,
firstly via Hot Gas (if available) and, after the time defined in rH06 has elapsed, via electrical resistors (if available),
until the temperature reaches the SPt again.
Should heat provision via Hot Gas not be available, the resistors are activated without taking parameter rH06 into
account.
Only Dehumidification (via dehumidifier + cold provision) - In2: 14
The controller cannot increase cold room moisture; it can only reduce it by activating the dehumidifier.
If, after the time defined in rH05 has elapsed, moisture has not reduced to the SPH value and the cold room
temperature is higher than the SPt, heat provision is activated to reduce moisture.
If the temperature reaches the SPt value, cold provision stops but the dehumidifier remains active until the SPH
value is reached.
Humidifier control
Humidifier control can be carried out in two possible ways:
ŸON/OFF: Regulation is carried out by activating or deactivating the humidifier. (In2: 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12)
Ÿ4-20 mA: The analogue output (AN. OUT) is used to adjust humidifier power using a PI regulation. (In2: 2,
4, 7, 10 and 13).

Operation in the event of a fault in probe SH
If probe SH is faulty (failure, disconnection, etc.), the controller stops regulating moisture and shows the message
EK on the lower display.
Calibration of probe SH
Parameter rH00 allows for correction of relative moisture as detected by probe SH; this is particularly useful when
the probe cannot be located in the ideal place.
Moisture Set Point locking
Parameters rH02 and rH03 allow for an upper and lower limit to be established for the moisture set point (SPH),
to protect the product or installation from unsuitable Set Point manipulation.
Operating mode selector
Pressing an external switch allows us to quickly change between two operating modes: temperature and moisture
regulation or only temperature regulation.
This function may be useful if the same cold room is used for different types of applications.
The external switch should be connected to one of the digital inputs and this should be configured as a “Temp.
control / temp. + moist. selector” (I10 / I20 / I30=4).
Door management
Door management allows for the installation's behaviour to be controlled, should the cold room door open
through parameters C22 and C23.
Parameter C22 defines whether cold production should be stopped if the door opens. If C22=1, when the door
opens, the fans stop and, 15 seconds later, the solenoid closes (COOL relay).
Parameter C23 defines the maximum time, in minutes, that the installation can remain without producing cold
whilst the door is open. If C23=0, cold is not produced with the door open.

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 4, 5, and 6 and 12 and requires the connection of a low pressure
switch in digital input 1. (I10=5)
STOP
When the temperature in probe S1 reaches the set point (SPt) value, the COOL relay deactivates, closing the liquid
solenoid.
Because the compressor continues to operate, pressure in the evaporator quickly drops. Upon reaching a given
value, the low pressure switch activates, changing the status of digital input 1, which stops the compressor (relay
AUX 1).
This manoeuvre isolates all of the coolant in the high-pressure line, far from the compressor crankcase, preventing
serious faults upon start-up.
Should the low pressure switch fail, the controller stops the compressor once the safety interval defined in C20 has
elapsed, displaying the message “Pd” (an informative message that does not affect the unit's operation).
If C20 time is 0 (default value), the compressor will not stop until the low pressure switch is activated, but it will
display the “Pd” message after 15 minutes.
START
When the temperature in probe S1 reaches the set point value plus the differential (SPt+C1), the COOL relay
activates, opening the liquid solenoid. This increases the pressure in the evaporator, deactivating the low pressure
switch, which turns the compressor on.
If, some time (determined by C19) after the liquid solenoid is opened (COOL relay set to ON), the low pressure
switch does not deactivate, the controller will once again close the solenoid (COOL relay set to OFF) and the “LP”
message will be displayed. This manoeuvre will be repeated every 2 minutes, indefinitely, until the pressure switch
is deactivated and the installation reverts to its normal operation.
If C19 time is 0 (default value), the solenoid will remain open until the low pressure switch deactivates, but it will
display the “LP” message after 5 minutes.
STAND-BY
If the pump down function is active, a certain amount of time may elapse between starting the stand-by function
and the controller stopping; this is because certain installation control phases cannot be interrupted.

Defrost
Types of defrost
There are 5 possible defrost types, depending on the option selected in the wizard (In1):
Electric (InI=1, 4 and 7) (d7=0)
Defrost is performed through electrical resistors, supplying the evaporator with heat. The operation of fans in this
mode depends on parameter F3; the compressor and solenoid are stopped.
By air (InI=2, 5 8) (d7=1)and
Usually used in positive cold rooms (> 3°C), since the inside temperature of the cold room is sufficient to melt
evaporator ice. By default, the fans are activated so that air may circulate through the evaporator; to stop them,
change parameter F3 to 0. The compressor and solenoid are stopped.

Defrost start
Defrost will start if:
-The time programmed in parameter d0 has elapsed since the start of the last defrost.
-We press the H key for 3 seconds.
-Through the app or through AKONet.
Defrost completion
Defrost will complete if:
-The temperature programmed in parameter d4 has been reached in probe 2. This requires a 2nd probe
(l00=2) to be available, located in the evaporator.
-The time configured in parameter d1 has elapsed (maximum defrost duration).
-We press the H key for 5 seconds.
-Through the app or through AKONet.
Drip time
This is established through parameter d9 and sets the time added at the end of defrost to allow for the removal of
surplus water from melted evaporator ice, during which there is no cold regulation.

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.
If defrost is cancelled before 1 minute has elapsed, the drip time (d9) is not applied and the fans are
activated without taking into account the start-up delay (F4).
If defrost is by air, the drip time (d9) and fan start-up delay (F4) are deactivated.
Message displayed during defrost
This is established using parameter d2, and you can choose between displaying the real temperature captured by
probe 1 (d2=0), showing the temperature captured by probe 1 at the start of the defrost (d2=1), or displaying the
dEF (d2=2) message. Parameter d3 defines the time during which the aforementioned message will be displayed
once the drip time (d9) and fan stop time (F4) are complete.
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.
Using parameter d8, we define the time tally established in d0, choosing between total time elapsed (d8=0) or
the sum of compressor operation time (d8=1).
REMARK: If parameter d1 is configured to 0, no defrosts are performed.
Evaporator fan control
Fans are controlled through probe 2 (evaporator) and parameters F0 (stop temperature) and F1 (probe differential).
If probe 2 is not connected or an error in the probe (E2) is detected, the fans continuously operate without taking
into account parameters F0 and F1, but taking the remaining parameters (F2 to F4) into account.
Using parameter F2, the status of the fans during compressor stops is defined.
Using parameter F3, the status of the fans during defrost is defined.
Parameter F4 defines the fan start-up delay time after defrost (see p. 16).
Parameter C22 defines whether fans stop when the door is opened.

Anti-stratification function (Only if F2=1)
This prevents layers of air of different temperatures (stratification) from forming inside the cold room by moving the
air using the evaporator’s fans.T
he fans are activated if they stop for a longer period than that defined in parameter F10 and deactivate once the
time defined in F11 has elapsed.
Extractor fans
This allows for air to be extracted from inside the cold room using an extractor fan connected to the DEF or
HUMID. relay.
To activate this function, the DEF or HUMID. relay should be available and configured as “Extractor fans” (o80=1
or o81=1).
The DEF relay is available depending on the option chosen in In1 (3, 6 or 9) and the HUMID. relay is available
depending on the option chosen in In2 (5, 8, 11 or 14).
Alarms
The device warns the user through an on-screen message, activation of a relay (only if o10=1) and a sound alarm
when the criteria programmed in the parameters are met.
Maximum / minimum temperature alarm
It shows the message “AK” or “AL” when the temperature
in probe 1 reaches the value configured in parameters A1
(maximum temperature) and A2 (minimum temperature).
This value may be:
ŸAbsolute (A0=1): The temperature at which the alarm should activate must be indicated in A1/A2.
ŸA0=0): The increase or decrease in the number of degrees necessary for the alarm to Relative to the SP (
activate, in relation to the set point, must be indicated in A1/A2. This option enables us to change the set
point without having to reset the maximum and minimum alarms.
Parameter A10 establishes the differential of both parameters (Hysteresis).
Example
We configure the following parameters in a controller: SP=2, A1=10, A10=2
-If A0=0 (Relative to the SP), the maximum temperature alarm will activate when 12 degrees are
reached in probe 1, and will deactivate when 10 degrees are reached.
-If A0=1 (Absolute), the maximum temperature alarm will activate when 10 degrees are reached in
probe 1, and will deactivate when 8 degrees are reached
External alarm / severe external alarm
The message EA (External alarm) or SEA (Severe external
alarm) is displayed when the digital input configured as
external alarm or severe external alarm is activated.
The severe external alarm also deactivates all the loads and,
therefore, temperature regulation stops. When this alarm disappears, the device returns to its normal operation.
At least one of the digital inputs must be configured as an external alarm (I10 or I20=2) or as a severe external
alarm (I10 or I20=3).

Temperature probe error alarm
If one of the enabled probes is crossed, in open circuit or out of range, the message
E1, E2 or E3 will be shown, depending on whether probe S1, S2 or S3 is involved.
Evaporator probe error alarm due to moisture ingress
If, at the start of defrost, the temperature in probe S2 is 20°C higher than the
temperature in probe S1, the defrost ignores probe S2 and completes due to time-out.
The display shows the message E2, activates the alarm relay (only if o10=1) and sound
alarm.
The alarm can be silenced, but the B alarm icon will not disappear until:
ŸThe controller is switched off and then on again.
ŸDefrost without error is started in probe S2.
Moisture probe error alarm
If the moisture probe is crossed, in open circuit or out of range, the message EX will appear on the lower display.
Maximum / minimum moisture alarm
This shows the message AKX or ALX when the moisture in probe SH reaches the value configured in parameters
A21 (maximum moisture) and A22 (minimum moisture).
This value may be:
ŸAbsolute (A20=1): The temperature at which the alarm should activate must be indicated in A21/A22.
ŸRelative to the SPH (A20=0): The increase or decrease in moisture % for the alarm to activate, in relation to
the set point, must be indicated in A21/A22. This option enables us to change the set point without having
to reset the maximum and minimum alarms.
Parameter A23 establishes the differential of both parameters (Hysteresis).
Open door alarm
The door has been open for a longer time than defined in parameter A12, the open
door alarm is activated.
In order to detect the open door, configuration is required of one of the digital inputs
as “door contact” (I10 or I20=1).
Activates alarm relay (only if P62=1) and sound alarm.
HACCP alarm
The alarm is activated should situations be detected which could endanger the
integrity of the products stored in the cold room.
If the temperature of the cold room is higher than that defined in parameter h1 for a
length of time exceeding that defined in parameter h2, the alarm activates, displaying
the message HCP. on screen.
Upon pressing the mute key, the sound alarm switches off, but the alarm remains.
Once the temperature drops below parameter h1, if the mute key has been pressed, the alarm disappears. If the
mute key has not been pressed, the audible alarm deactivates but the HACCP indicator remains in flashing mode,
indicating than a non-confirmed HACCP alarm has occurred.
Press the mute key to confirm an HACCP alarm.
If, during a power failure, a HACCP alarm occurs, when the power supply returns, the HACCP alarm is activated and
the display shows the messages HCP and PF (power failure) alternately.

Alarm delays
These delays prevent certain alarms from being shown, to allow the installation to recover its normal operation
after certain events.
-Delays in start-up (A3): This delays the activation of the temperature and moisture alarms upon receiving
power supply (start-up or after a power supply failure). This allows for the installation to start up, avoiding
alarms.
-Delay after a defrost (A4): This delays the activation of the temperature and moisture alarms when a defrost
completes.A205
-Delay to minimum and maximum temperature alarm (A5): This delays the activation of the maximum (A1)
and minimum (A2) temperature alarms, from when the temperature in probe 1 reaches the programmed
value.
-Delay to minimum and maximum moisture alarm (A24): This delays the activation of the maximum (A21) and
minimum (A22) moisture alarms, from when the moisture reaches the programmed value.
-Delay to activation of external alarm (A6): This delays the activation of the external alarm, from when the
digital input becomes active.
-Delay to deactivation of external alarm (A7): This delays the deactivation of the external alarm, from when
the digital input becomes active.
-Delay to open door alarm (A12): This delays the activation of the alarm upon detecting that the door is open.
Configuration of alarm relay
Should relay AUX 2 have been configured as an alarm (o10=1), parameter A9 allows for the relay status to be
defined when an alarm is triggered:
A9=0 Relay active (ON) in the event of an alarm (OFF without alarm)
A9=1 Relay inactive (OFF) in the event of an alarm (ON without alarm)
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).
Alert: defrost finished by time
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. (See p. ).15
Pump down malfunction error (start-up)
Displays the LP message if a malfunction is detected when the installation is started up using
the pump down manoeuvre. (See p. 1 ).5
Light control
Relay AUX 1 or AUX 2 must be configured as “Light” (o00 or o10=2).
Switching the lights on or off is controlled using:
The push-button: One press switches the lights on or off.LHT
The cold room door: When the door is opened, the lights remain on for the time defined by parameter b01. If the
value is 0, when the door closes the lights go out. (One of the digital inputs must be configured as door contact
(I10, I20 or I30=1).
The control even occurs with the equipment in Stand-by.
