3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
3.1 General notes about wiring
1. Do not run input wires together with power cables.
2. External components (like zener barriers, etc.) connected
between sensor and input terminals may cause errors in
measurement due to excessive and/or not balanced line
resistance or possible leakage currents.
3. When a shielded cable is used, it should be connected at
one point only.
4. Pay attention to the line resistance; a high line resistance
may cause measurement errors.

6 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
6.1 Introduction
When the instrument is switched ON, it starts immediately working
in accordance with the parameters values loaded in memory.
The instrument behaviour and its performance are governed
by the value of the stored parameters.
At the first start up the instrument will use a “default” param-
eter set (factory parameter set); this set is a generic one
(e.g. a TC Pt100 input is programmed).
Before connecting the output actuators,
we recommend to configure the parameters to suit your
application (e.g.: input type, Control strategy, alarms, etc.).
Do not change the [6] Unit (Engineering Unit) value
during process control as the temperature values
inserted by the user (thresholds, limits etc.) are not
automatically rescaled by the instrument.
To change these parameters you need to enter the
“Configuration mode”.
6.2 Instrument description
This instrument is a special version derived from our standard
KUBE line and dedicated to the specific needs of wine making
and oenology markets with the following features:
–Temperature ON/OFF control with hysteresis, Heating (set
point SP) or Cooling (set point SP2);
–Highly readable display whose color indicates if control is
in Heating (Red) or Cooling (Green) mode selected, for a
safe control.
Suitable for the following control modes:
–One circuit control (Out1 relay for Heating and Cooling –
see [1] node = 1 at page 6);
–2 circuits control (Out1 relay for Heating and Out2 relay for
Cooling – see [1] node = 2 at page 6) with manual selec-
tion Heating or Cooling;
–2 circuits control (Out1 relay for Heating and Out2 relay for
Cooling – see [1] node = 3 at page 6) with automatic Heat-
ing and Cooling action;
–Select Heating or Cooling manually by dedicated front button,
or digital input, or serial communication, or automatically;
–Select Control run (Auto) or stop (Stand-By) manually by dedi-
cated front button, or digital input, or serial communication;
–Alarms low (AL1) and high (AL2) and sensor break detec-
tion with relay output Out3;
–Temperature sensor break detection with manual forcing of
control output;
–Easy to configure for the installer (wine market preconfig-
ure), easy to use for the operator (dedicated front buttons);
–Controller and/or software configuration backup using the
key (A01) through the serial port;
–3 separated menus: operator (free access), limited access
(protected), configuration (protected).
With its high standard of adaptability this instrument is able
to cover all wine market needs at highest reliability level.
6.3 Instrument behaviour at Power ON
At power ON the instrument can start in one of the following
mode depending on its configuration:
Auto mode
–The upper display shows the measured value;
–The lower display shows the Set point value;
–The decimal figure of the less significant digit of the lower
display is OFF;
–The instrument is performing the standard closed loop control.
Standby mode (St.bY).
–The upper display shows the measured value;
–The lower display shows alternately the set point value and
the message St.bY or od;
–The instrument does not perform any control (the control
outputs are OFF);
–The instrument is working as an indicator.
We define all the above described conditions as “Standard
display”.
6.4 Entering the “Configuration modes”
6.4.1 Complete configuration procedure
The configuration parameters are collected in various
groups. Every group defines all parameters related with a
specific function (e.g.: control, alarms, output functions).
1. Push the button for more than 5 seconds. The upper
display will show PASS while the lower display shows 0.
2. Using and buttons set the programmed password.
Notes: 1. The factory default password for configuration
parameters is equal to 30.
2. During parameter modification the instrument
continue to perform the control.
In certain conditions, when a configuration change
can produce a heavy bump to the process, it is
advisable to temporarily stop the controller from
controlling during the programming procedure
(control output will be OFF).
A password equal to 2000 + the programmed
value (e.g. 2000 + 30 = 2030).
The control will restart automatically when the
configuration procedure will be manually closed.
3. Push the button
If the password is correct the display shows the acronym of
the first parameter group preceded by the symbol:
]
.
In other words the upper display shows:
]inp
(group of the Input parameters).
The instrument is in configuration mode.
6.5 How to exit the “Configuration mode”
Push button for more than 5 seconds, the instrument
returns to the “Standard display”.

Ascon Tecnologic - KM1E/KR1E - Wine - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 7
6.6 Keyboard functions during
parameter changing
A short press allows to exit from the current parameter
group and select a new parameter group.
A long press allows you to close the configuration
parameter procedure (the instrument returns to the
“Standard display”).
When the upper display is showing a group and the
lower display is empty, this key allows to enter in the
selected group.
When the upper display is showing a parameter and
the lower display is showing its value, this key allows
to store the selected value for the current parameter
and access the next parameter within the same group.
Allows to increase the value of the selected parameter.
Allows to decrease the value of the selected parameter.
+ These two keys allow to return to the previous
group. Proceed as follows:
Push the button and maintaining the pressure,
then push the button; release both the buttons.
Note: The group selection is cyclic as well as the selection
of the parameters in a group.
6.7 Factory reset - default parameters
loading procedure
Sometime, e.g. when you re-configure an instrument
previously used for other works or from other people or when
you have made too many errors during configuration and
you decided to re-configure the instrument, it is possible to
restore the factory configuration.
This action allows to put the instrument in a defined
condition (the same it was at first Power ON).
The default data are those typical values loaded in the
instrument prior to ship it from factory.
To load the factory default parameter set, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds. The upper
display will show PASS while the lower display shows 0;
2. Using and buttons set the value -481;
3. Push button;
4. The instrument will turn OFF all LEDs for a few seconds,
then the upper display will show dFLt (default) and then
all LEDs are turned ON for 2 seconds. At this point the
instrument restarts as for a new power ON.
The procedure is complete.
Note: The complete list of the default parameters is available
in Appendix A.
6.8 Configuring all the parameters
In the following pages we are going to describe all the
instrument’s parameters. However, the instrument will only
show the parameters applicable to its hardware options
in accordance with the specific instrument configuration
(i.e. setting AL1t [Alarm 1 type] to nonE [not used], all
parameters related to alarm 1 will be skipped).

Notes: 1. The “Not active at power up” selection allows to
inhibit the alarm function at instrument power up
or when the instrument detects a transfer from
Stand-by mode to Auto mode.
The alarm will be automatically enabled when the
measured value reaches, for the first time, the
alarm threshold ±hysteresis (in other words, when
the initial alarm condition disappears).

[27] HAL1 - Alarm 1 hysteresis
Available: When [22] AL1t is different from nonE.
Range: 1... 9999 engineering units.
Notes: 1. The hysteresis value is the difference between
the Alarm threshold value and the point the Alarm
automatically resets.
2. When the alarm threshold plus or minus the
hysteresis is out of input range, the instrument will
not be able to reset the alarm.
Example: Input range 0... 1000 (mBar).
–Set point equal to 900 (mBar);
–Deviation low alarm equal to 50 (mBar);
–Hysteresis equal to 160 (mBar) the theoretical reset point is
900 - 50 + 160 = 1010 (mBar) but this value is out of range.
The reset can be made only by turning the instrument
OFF, removing the condition that generate the alarm and
then turn the instrument ON again.
–All band alarms use the same hysteresis value for both
thresholds;
–When the hysteresis of a band alarm is bigger than the
programmed band, the instrument will not be able to reset
the alarm.
Example: Input range 0... 500 (°C).
–Set point equal to 250 (°C);
–Relative band alarm;
–Low threshold equal to 10 (°C);
–High threshold equal to 10 (°C);
–Hysteresis equal to 25 (°C).

[62] AH.o - Adjust High Offset
Available: Always.
Range: -300... +300 Engineering Units.
Example: Environmental chamber with an operative range:
10... 100°C.
1. Insert in the chamber a reference sensor connected with
a reference instrument (usually a calibrator).
2. Start the control of the instrument, and set a set point equal to
the minimum value of the operative range (e.g.: 10°C). When
the temperature in the chamber is steady, take note of the
temperature measured by the reference system (e.g.: 9°C).
3. Set [60] AL.P = 10 (low working point) and [61] ALo = -1
(it is the difference between the reading of the instrument
and the reading of the reference system). Note that after
this set the measured value of the instrument is equal to
the measured value of the reference system.
4. Set a set point equal to the maximum value of the
operative range (e.g. 100°C). When the temperature
in the chamber is steady, take note of the temperature
measured by the reference system (e.g. 98°C).
5. Set [62] AH.P = 100 (low working point) and [63] AHo = +2

The most important step of the configuration procedure is
completed.
In order to exit from configuration parameter procedure,
proceed as follows:
• Push button.
• Push button for more than 10 s. The instru-
ment will come back to the “Standard display”.
7 PARAMETER PROMOTION
Another important step of the instrument configuration is due
to the possibility to create a custom HMI (interface) in order
to make the instrument easy to use for the operator and
comfortable for the assistance.
By a special procedure, named promotion, the OEM can
create two parameter subsets.
The first one is the “limited access” level. This subset is pro-
tected by the password programmed by [47] PAS2 parameter.
The last subset is the “Operator” set (Level1). This level is
NOT password protected.
Notes: 1. The “limited access” parameter are collected in a list.
2. The sequence of the “ limited access ” parameters
is programmable and can be made according to
user needs.
3. The parameter sequence of the “Operator” level
is the same programmed for “ limited access ” level
but only specified parameters can be displayed
and modified. This set must be create according
to user requirements.
7.1 Parameter promotion procedure
The “limited access” parameter set is a list, so that, before
to start the promotion procedure, we suggest to operate as
follows:
1. Prepare the exact parameter list you want to make
accessible for limited access.
2. Number the desired parameters in the same sequence
you want to have in the limited access.
3. Define which of the selected parameter will be available
in “Operator” level also.
Example: I would like to obtain the following limited access list:
• SP - First set point;
• SP2 - Second set point;
• AL1 - Alarm 1 threshold;
• AL2 - Alarm 2 threshold.
But it is needed that the operator can change only the set point
and alarm 1 values. In this case the promotion list will be:
Parameter Promotion Limited Access Operator
- SP - o 2 SP SP
- SP2 - A 3 SP2
- AL1 - o 5 AL1 AL1
- AL2 - A 6 AL2
Now, proceed as follows:
1. Push the button for more than 3 seconds.
2. The upper display will show PASS while the lower display
will show 0.
3. By and buttons set a password equal to -81.
4. Push button.
The instrument will show the acronym of the first
configuration parameter group
] inP.
5. By button select the group of the first parameter of
your list.
6. By button select the first parameter of your list
7. The upper display will show the acronym of the parameter
while the lower display will show his current promotion level.
The promotion level is defined by a letter followed by a
number.

Ascon Tecnologic - KM1E/KR1E - Wine - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 14
The letter can be:
c: Shows that this parameter is NOT promoted
and it is present only in configuration.
In this case the number is forced to zero.
A: Shows that this parameter has been promoted
to the limited access level.
The number will show the position in the limited
access list.
o: Shows that the parameter has been promoted
to the Operator level. The number shown indi-
cates the position in the limited access list.
8. By and buttons assign to this parameter the
desired position.
Note: Setting a value different from 0 the letter cchanges
automatically to Aand the parameter is automatically
promoted to the limited access level.
9. In order to modify the level from limited access
to operator and vice-versa, push button and,
maintaining the pressure, push button.
The letter will change from Ato oand vice versa.
10.Select the second parameter that you want to add to the
assistance level and repeat step 6, 7 and 8.
11.Repeat steps 5, 6, 7, 8 until the list has been completed.
12.When you need to exit from the promotion procedure, push
button and maintain the pressure for more than 10 s.
The instrument returns to the “Standard display”.
Note: Setting the same number to two parameters, the
instrument uses only the last programmed parameter.
8 OPERATIVE MODES
This is a special version of the instrument and it is
specifically designed for Wine market.
As we said at paragraph 6.1, when the instrument is
powered ON starts immediately to work according to the
stored parameters values.
In other words, the instrument has only “run time” status.
During “run time” we can force the instrument to operate in
two different modes: Automatic mode or Standby mode:
–In Automatic mode the instrument drives automatically
the control output according to the parameters values set
and the set point/measured value.
–In Standby mode the instrument operates as an indicator.
It shows on the upper display the measured value and on
the lower display the set point alternately to the “St.bY”
message and forces the control outputs to zero.
As we have seen, it is always possible to modify the values
assigned to a parameter independently from the operative
modes selected.
8.1 The Wine version speciality - How
to quickly modify the control mode
and the control action selected
During wine making, different phases can require different
control actions. As an example, a cooling action is frequently
required during fermentation but, in other phases, an heating
action can be necessary to obtain specific organoleptic
characteristics.
For this reason the instrument allows the user or the operator
to quickly select the desired control action.
The instrument can be programed (by [1] nodE parameter) in
order to operate in 3 different modes:
Mode 1
The control action can be quickly reverted from Heat (using
SP1) to Cool (using SP2) and vice-versa but the control
output is always Out1.
The colour of the upper display shows the control action
actually selected:
–Green for Cool (using SP2) ;
–Red for Heat (using SP1) .
Mode 2
The control action can be rapidly switched from Heat (using
SP1) to Cool (using SP2) and vice-versa but the outputs are
fixed (the Heating output is the Out1 while the Cooling output
is the Out2).
The colour of the upper display shows the control action
actually selected:
–Green for Cool (using SP2) ;
–Red for Heat (using SP1) .
Mode 3
The instrument performs Heat (using SP1) and Cool (using
SP2) actions at the same time; the outputs are fixed (the
Heating output is Out1 while the Cooling output is Out2).
The colour of the upper display shows the control action
actually active:
–When the Heat output is ON the upper display is red and
the lower display shows the SP value.
–When the Cool output is ON, the upper display is green
and the lower display shows the SP2 value.
–When there is NO action the upper display is orange and
the lower display is empty.
When [1] nodE parameter is equal to 1 or 2 and you want to
change the selected control action, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button for more than 4 seconds but less
than 10 seconds;
2. The upper display blinks one time.
3. Release the button.
4. The colour of the upper display changes and the control
action is changed too.
In addition, when [49] uSrb is equal to HC.Sb, to enter in
stand-by mode, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button for more 10 seconds;
2. The display blinks one time and the lower display shows
“St.bY” message (points out that the instruemt is in
Standby mode). During stand-by mode the lower display
shows the “St.bY” message and the value selected by
[50] diSP parameter alternately;
3. Release the button.
4. To return to the Auto mode, press the button for more
10 seconds;
5. The display blinks one time and the lower display shows
“rEG” message (confirms that the instrument is in AUTO
mode). During AUTO mode the lower display shows only
the value selected by [50] diSP parameter.

Ascon Tecnologic - KM1E/KR1E - Wine - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 15
8.2 Modify a parameter during
“Operator level”
The instrument is showing the “Standard display”.
1. Press the button.
2. The upper display will show the acronym of the first
parameter promoted to this level while the lower display
will show its value.
3. By and button assign to this parameter the
desired value.
4. Press the button in order to memorize the new value
and go to the next parameter.
5. When you want to come back to the “Standard display”
push the button for more than 5 seconds.
Note: The parameter modification of the Operator level
is subject to a time out. If no button is pressed for
more than 10 seconds, the instrument goes back to
the “Standard display” and the new value of the last
selected parameter will be lost.
8.3 Entering the “Limited access level”
The instrument is showing the “Standard display”.
1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds;
2. The upper display will show PASS while the lower display
will show 0;
3. By and buttons set the value assigned to
[118] PAS2 (Level 2 password).
Notes: 1. The factory default password for configuration
parameters is equal to 20.
2. All parameter changes are protected by a time
out. If no button is pressed for more than 10 s the
instrument automatically returns to the “Standard
display”, the new value of the last selected
parameter is lost and the change parameter
procedure is closed.
To work with no time out (e.g. for the first
instrument configuration) use a password equal to
1000 plus the programmed password
(e.g. 1000 + 20 [default] = 1020).
It is always possible to manuallyend the
parameter configuration procedure (see below).
3. During the parameter setting procedure the
instrument continues to perform the control.
In certain conditions (e.g. when a parameter change
can produce a heavy bump to the process) it is ad-
visable to temporarily stop the controller from control-
ling during the programming procedure (the control
output will be OFF). A password equal to 2000 + the
programmed value (e.g. 2000 + 20 = 2020) switches
OFF the control output during configuration. The
control restarts automatically when the parameter
setting procedure will be manually ended.
4. Push button.
5. The instrument will show on the upper display the
acronym of the first parameter promoted to this
level and on the lower one its value.
6. Using the / buttons assign to this
parameter the desired value.
7. Press the button in order to store the new
value and go to the next parameter.
8. When you want to return to the “Standard display”
push the button for more than 5 s.
8.4 How to see but not modify the
“limited access parameters”
Sometimes it is necessary to give to the operator the
possibility to see the value assigned to the parameter
promoted in the Limited Access level but it is important that all
changes are made by authorized personnel only.
In this cases, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds;
2. The upper display will show PASS while the lower display
shows 0;
3. By and button set the value -181;
4. Push button;
5. The upper display will show the acronym of the first
parameter promoted to level 2 and lower shows its value;
6. Using button it is possible to see the value assigned
to all parameters present in level 2 but it will not be
possible to modify it;
7. It is possible to return to the “Standard display” pressing
the button for more than 3 seconds or by pressing no
buttons for more than 10 seconds.
8.5 Automatic mode
8.5.1 Keyboard functions when the
instrument is in Auto mode
Performs the action programmed by [121] uSrb
( button function during RUN TIME) parameter.
Enters the parameter modification procedures.
A short pressure (less than 2 seconds) displays the
“additional information” (see below)
a pressure longer than 2 second starts the “Direct set
point modification” function (see below).
Starts the “Direct set point modification” function (see
below).
8.5.2 Direct set point modification
This function allows to quickly modify the set point value
selected by [83] A.SP (selection of the active Set point).
While the instrument is showing the “Standard display”:
1. Push the or the button for more than 2 s.
The upper display shows the acronym of the selected set
point (e.g. SP2) and the lower display shows its value.
2. By and buttons, assign to the active set point the
desired value.
3. To exit, press NO buttons for more than 5 second or
press the button.
In both cases the instrument stores the new value and
returns to the “Standard display”.
Note: If the selected set point has not been promoted to the
Operator level, the instrument allows you to see the
value but not to modify it.

Ascon Tecnologic - KM1E/KR1E - Wine - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 16
8.5.3 Additional information
This instrument is able to show you some additional
information that can help in managing the system.
The additional information are related to how the instrument
is programmed, hence in many cases, only part of this
information is available.
1. While the instrument is showing the “Standard display”
push button for less than 2 seconds.
The lower display shows Hor cfollowed by a number, this
value is the output power applied to the process.
Hmeans that the controller is performing an Heating action,
cmeans that the controller is performing a Cooling action.
2. Push button again. When the wattmeter function
is running the lower display shows Ufollowed by the
measured energy.
Note: The energy calculation will be in accordance with the
[134] Co.tY parameter setting.
3. Push button again. When the “Worked time count”
is running the lower display will show dfor days or hfor
hours followed by the measured time.
4. Push button again. The instrument returns to the
“Standard display”.
Note: The additional information visualization is subject to a
time out. If no buttons are pressed for more than 10 s
the instrument automatically returns to the “Standard
display”.
8.5.4 Display management
This instrument allows you to program (see parameter [125]
diS.t) the time out of the display.
This function allows to turn OFF the display when no alarm
is present and no action is made on the instrument.
When [125] diS.t is different from OFF (display always ON) and
no buttons are pressed for a time longer than the [125] diS.t
value, the display goes OFF and only 4 segments of the less
significant digit are turned ON in sequence in order to show
that the instrument is working correctly.
If an alarm occurs or a button is pressed, the display returns
to the normal operation.
8.6 Standby mode
This operative mode also deactivates the automatic control
and forces the control output to zero.
In this mode the instrument operates as an indicator.
When the instrument is in Standby mode the upper display
shows the measured value while the lower one alternately
shows the set point and the message “St.bY”.
Notes: 1. During Standby mode, the relative alarms are
disabled while the absolute alarms are operative
or not according to the ALxo (Alarm x enabling
during Stand-by mode) parameter setting.
2. Switching to Standby mode during self-tune
execution causes the the self-tune function abort.
3. During Standby mode, all functions not related
with the control (wattmeter, independent timer,
“worked time”, etc) continue to operate normally.
4. When the instrument is swapped from Standby
to auto mode, the instrument starts automatically
the alarm masking, the soft-start functions and
the auto-tune (if programmed).
9 ERROR MESSAGES
9.1 Out of range signals
The upper display shows the OVER-RANGE and UNDER-
RANGE conditions with the following indications:
Over-range Under-range
Also the sensor break is pointed out as an out of range:
Note: When an over-range or an under-range is detected,
the alarms operate as in presence of the maximum or
the minimum measurable value respectively.
To check the out of span Error condition, proceed as follows:
1. Check the input signal source and the connecting line.
2. Make sure that the input signal is in accordance with the
instrument configuration. Otherwise, modify the input
configuration (see paragraph 4).
3. If no errors are detected, send the instrument to your
supplier to be checked.
Note: When an out or range is detected, the instrument
enable 3 special password used to force the control
output as follows:
• In mode 1 or 2, when a Heat action is selected, set-
ting a password equal to 10 forces the Heat output
to ON. Setting a password equal to 0, the Heat
output goes OFF.
When a cool action is selected, setting a password
equal to -10 will force the cool output to ON. Setting
a password equal to 0, the cool output goes OFF.
• in mode 3, a password equal to -10 turns the cool
output (out 2) to ON, a password equal to 10 turns
heat output (out 1) to ON while a password equal to
0 turns both outputs to OFF.
