OFF (turned OFF) or silenced (flashing).
2. PROGRAMMING
2.1 Standard mode parameters programming
To access the instrument function parameters when pass-
word protection is disabled, press the key and keep it
pressed for about 5 seconds, after which the display shows
the code that identifies the first programmable parameter
The desired parameter can be selected using the /keys,
then, pressing the key, the display shows the parameter
code alternated to its value that can be changed with the
and keys.
Once the desired value has been set, press the key
again: the new value is stored and the display shows only
the code of the selected parameter.
Pressing the and keys, it is possible to select another
parameter and change it as described.
To exit the programming mode, press no keys for about 30 s
or keep the key pressed for 2 s.

2.2 Parameter protection using the password
The instrument has a parameter protection function using a
password that can be personalised through the tPP parameter
To protect the parameters, set the desired password number
at the parameter tPP.
When the protection is active, press the key to access
the parameters and keep it pressed for about 5 s, after which
the display shows r.p.
Press the key, the display shows 0.
Using the / keys, insert the programmed password
number and press the key again.
If the password is correct the instrument displays the code
of the first parameter at this point i possible to program the
instrument in the same way previously described.
The password protection can be disabled by setting tPP = oF.

Note: If the Password gets lost, just switch OFF then ON the
instrument, push key during the initial test keeping
it pressed for 5 s. In this way it is possible to access all
the parameters, verify and modify the parameter tPP.
2.3 Customized mode parameter programming
(parameters programming level)
By the instrument factory setting the password protection func-
tion affects all parameters. To make a parameter accessible
without having to enter the password when tPP password
protection is activate, use the procedure that follows:
–Enter the program mode using the tPP Password;
–Select the parameter that must be accessible (no pass-
word protection);
–Once a parameter is selected, if the dp LED flashes, the
parameter is programmable by entering the password (is
“protected”). If the dp LED is steady ON the parameter
is programmable without password (is “unprotected”).
–To change the parameter visibility, press the key and
keeping it pressed also press the button. The dp LED
changes its state indicating the new level of parameter acces-
sibility (ON = not protected; flashing = password protected).
In case some parameters are not protected, accessing
the the programming mode the display first shows the not
protected parameters, then the r.p parameter (through which
will be possible to access the “protected” parameters).

2.4 Reset parameters to default value
The instrument allows the reset of the parameters to values
programmed in factory as default
To restore the default parameters value set value -48 at r.p
password request Therefore, to make the reset to the default
parameters, enable the Password using the tPP parameter
so that the r.p setting is requested, at this point insert -48
instead of the programmed access password.
Once confirmed the password with the key the display
shows “---” for 2 s therefore the instrument resets all the
parameters to factory default setting.

3. USAGE WARNINGS
3.1 Admitted use
 The instrument has been projected and manufactured
as a measuring and control device to be used accord-
ing to EN60730-1 at altitudes operation below 2000 m.
Using the instrument for applications not expressly permitted
by the above mentioned rule must adopt all the necessary
protective measures.
The instrument MUST NOT BE USED in dangerous environ-
ments (flammable or explosive) without adequate protections.
The instrument used with NTC 103AT11 probe (identifiable
by the printed code “103AT-11” visible on the sensor part)
is compliant with standard EN 13485 (“Thermometers for
measuring the air and product temperature for the transport,
storage and distribution of chilled, frozen, deep-frozen/quick-
frozen food and ice cream”) with the following classification:
[EN13485 air, S, A, 2, -50°C +90°C]
Remember that the end user must periodically check and veri-
fy the thermometers in compliance with standard EN 13486.
The installer must ensure that the EMC rules are respected,
also after the instrument installation, if necessary using
proper filters.
4. INSTALLATION WARNINGS
4.1 Mechanical mounting
The instrument, in case 78 x 35 mm, is designed for flush-
in panel mounting. Make a 71 x 29 mm hole and insert the
instrument, fixing it with the provided special brackets.
We recommend that the gasket is mounted in order to obtain
the front protection degree as declared.
Avoid placing the instrument in environments with very high
humidity levels or dirt that may create condensation or intro-
duction of conductive substances into the instrument
Ensure adequate ventilation to the instrument and avoid
installation in containers that house devices which may
overheat or which may cause the instrument to function at a
higher temperature than the one permitted and declared.
Connect the instrument as far away as possible from sources
of electromagnetic disturbances such as motors, power re-
lays, relays, solenoid valves, etc..

4.3 Electrical connections
Carry out the electrical wiring by connecting only one wire to
each terminal, according to the following diagram, checking
that the power supply is the same as that indicated on the
instrument and that the load current absorption is no higher
than the maximum electricity current permitted.
As the instrument is built-in equipment with permanent con-
nection inside housing, it is not equipped with either switches
or internal devices to protect against current overloads: the
installation will include an overload protection and a two-
phase circuit-breaker, placed as near as possible to the in-
strument and located in a position that can easily be reached
by the user and marked as instrument disconnecting device
which interrupts the power supply to the equipment
It is also recommended that the supply of all the electrical cir-
cuits connected to the instrument must be protect properly, us-
ing devices (ex. fuses) proportionate to the circulating currents.
It is strongly recommended that cables with proper insulation,
according to the working voltages and temperatures, be used.
Furthermore, the input cable of the probe has to be kept sepa-
rate from line voltage wiring. If the input cable of the probe is
screened, it has to be connected to the ground at only one side.

5. FUNCTIONS
5.1 Measure and display configuration
With the iuP it is possible to select the temperature engi-
neering unit and the desired measure resolution (C0 = °C/1°;
C1 = °C/0.1°; F0 = °F/1°; F1 = °F/0.1°).
The instrument allows the measure calibration, which can
be used to recalibrate the instrument according to applica-
tion needs, The calibration is made by using parameters iC1
(input Pr1).
5.2 Alarm functions
The alarm conditions of the instrument are:
–Probe errors E1, -E1;
–Temperature alarms Hi and Lo;
The alarm functions act on the LED .
Any active alarm condition is signaled lighting up the LED ,
while the acknowledged alarm status is shown by flashing the
LED .
5.2.1 Temperature alarms
The temperature alarm works according to Pr1 probe
measurement, the alarm thresholds set at parameters AHA
(maximum alarm) and ALA (minimum alarm) and the relative
differential AAd.
The alarm intervention can be delayed by the time set at
parameter AAt.

6. ACCESSORIES
The instrument is equipped with a 5-pole connector which
can be used to link some external accessories that allow to
perform some functions in “off-line” mode.
6.1 Parameters configuration by “A01”
The A01 device an be linked to the 5 poles connector to trans-
fer from and toward the instrument the functioning parameters.
This device it is mainly usable for the serial programming of
some instruments which need to have the same parameters
configuration or to keep a copy of the parameters setting of an
instrument and allow its rapid retransmission.
The same device allows to connect a PC via USB with which,
through the appropriate configuration software for “AT Univer-
salConf tools”, the operating parameters can be configured.
To use the A01 device with the e30V instrument, the A01 must
be correctly supplied.
