2 or referred to absolute values: rE relative to set point; Ab absolute temperature.
ALu2 Maximum alarm, section 2: with ALc2=rE: alarm relative to set point1, (0÷50°C) Maximum
alarm is enabled when the probe values exceeds the “SET2+ALU” value. with ALc2=Ab:

8. DIGITAL INPUT
The instrument can support up to 2 free contact digital inputs. Both of them can be configured as One is
always configured as door switch, the second is programmable in seven different configurations by the
“I2F” parameter.
8.1 DOOR SWITCH INPUT (MP1, MP2, MP)
It signals the door status to the controller: MP1: door open for section 1; MP2: door open for section
2; MP door open for both the sections.
When the door is open the status of compressor (and fans) depends on the “odc1” and
“odc2”parameters: no = normal (no changes); Fan = Fan OFF (if fan is present); CPr = Compressor
OFF; F_C = Compressor and fan OFF. Since the door is opened, after the delay time set through
parameter “doA”, the alarm output is enabled and the display shows the message “dA”. The alarm
stops as soon as the external digital input is disabled again. During this time and then for the delay
“dot” after closing the door, the high and low temperature alarms are disabled.
8.2 CONFIGURABLE INPUT - GENERIC ALARM (EA1, EA2, EAL)
It signals to the controller: EA1: generic alarm – section 1; EA2: generic alarm – section 2; EAL:
generic alarm – it counts for both the sections. As soon as the digital input is activated the unit will wait
for “did1” time for section 1 and “did2” time for section 2 delay before signalling the “EAL” alarm
message. The outputs status don’t change. The alarm stops just after the digital input is de-activated.
8.3 CONFIGURABLE INPUT - SERIOUS ALARM MODE (BA1, BA2, BAL)
It signals to the controller: bA1: serious alarm – section 1; bA2: serious alarm – section 2; bAL: serious
alarm – it counts for both the sections. As soon as the digital input is activated the unit will wait for
“did1” time for section 1 and “did2” time for section 2 delay before signalling the “bAL” alarm message.
The relay outputs are switched OFF. The alarm will stop as soon as the digital input is de-activated.
8.4 CONFIGURABLE INPUT - START DEFROST (DF1, DF2, DEF)
It executes a defrost if there are the right conditions, respectively for: dF1: section 1; dF2: section 2;
dEF: both the sections. After the defrost is finished, the normal regulation will restart only if the digital
input is disabled otherwise the instrument will wait until the “Mdf1” and “MdF2” safety time is expired.
8.5 CONFIGURABLE INPUT - REMOTE ON/OFF (OF1, OF2, ONF)
This function allows to switch ON and OFF a sections of the instrument or the whole instrument
according to the following setting: oF1: section 1; oF2: section 2; onF: it counts for both the sections.
When the digital input is de-activated, the corresponding section restarts working.
8.6 CONFIGURABLE INPUT - ENERGY SAVING (i2F=ES)
The Energy Saving function allows to change the set point value as the result of the SET1+HES1 for
section and SET2 + HES2 fro section 2. This function is enabled until the digital input is activated.
8.7 DIGITAL INPUTS POLARITY
The digital inputs polarity depends on “I1P” and “I2P” parameters. CL : the digital input is activated by
closing the contact. OP : the digital input is activated by opening the contact
9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The instrument are provided with screw terminal block to connect cables with a cross section up to 2,5
mm2. Heat-resistant cables have to be used. Before connecting cables make sure the power supply
complies with the instrument’s requirements. Separate the probe cables from the power supply cables,
from the outputs and the power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current allowed on each
relay, in case of heavier loads use a suitable external relay.
9.1 PROBE CONNECTION
The probes shall be mounted with the bulb upwards to prevent damages due to casual liquid infiltration.
It is recommended to place probe away from air streams to correctly measure the average room
temperature.
10. SERIAL LINE
The optional RS485 output allows the unit to connect to a network line ModBUS-RTU compatible as the
dIXEL monitoring system.
11. USE OF THE PROGRAMMING “HOT KEY “
The unit can UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD the parameter list from its own E2 internal memory to the “Hot
Key” and vice-versa.
11.1 DOWNLOAD FROM THE “HOT KEY” TO THE INSTRUMENT)
1. Turn OFF the instrument, insert the “Hot Key” and then turn the instrument ON.
2. Automatically the parameter list of the “Hot Key” is downloaded into the memory, the “doL”
message is blinking. After 10 seconds the instrument will restart working with the new
parameters.
3. Turn OFF the instrument remove the “Hot Key”, plug in the TTL serial cable, then turn it ON
again.
At the end of the data transfer phase the instrument displays the following messages: “end “ for right
programming. The instrument starts regularly with the new programming. “err” for failed programming.
In this case turn the unit off and then on if you want to restart the download again or remove the “Hot
key” to abort the operation.
11.2 UPLOAD (FROM THE INSTRUMENT TO THE “HOT KEY”)
1. When the unit is ON, insert the “Hot key” and push èkey; the "uPL" message appears.
2. Push “SET” key to start the UPLOAD; the “uPL” message is blinking.
3. Turn OFF the instrument remove the “Hot Key”, plug in the TTL serial cable, then turn it ON
again.
At the end of the data transfer phase the instrument displays the following messages: “end “ for right
programming. “err” for failed programming. In this case push “SET” key if you want to restart the
programming again or remove the not programmed “Hot key”.
12. ALARM SIGNALS
Message Cause Outputs
“P1” Thermostat1 probe failure Alarm output ON; Compressor1 output according to
parameters “COn1” and “COF1”
“P2” Thermostat2 probe failure Alarm output ON; Compressor2 output according to
parameters “COn1” and “COF2”
“P3” Evaporator probe failure Alarm output ON; Other outputs unchanged
“HA” High temperature alarm Outputs unchanged
“LA” Low temperature alarm Outputs unchanged
“EE” Some memory problems Alarm output ON; Other outputs OFF
“dA” Door switch alarm Outputs unchanged
“EAL” External alarm Outputs unchanged
“bAL” Serious external alarm Regulation outputs deactivated
“POF” Keyboard locked Outputs unchanged
“POn” Keyboard unlocked Outputs unchanged
The alarm message is displayed until the alarm condition is recovery. All the alarm messages are
showed alternating with the room temperature except for the “P1” which is flashing. To reset the “EE”
alarm and restart the normal functioning press any key, the “rSt” message is displayed for about 3s.
12.1 SILENCING BUZZER
Once the alarm signal is detected the buzzer can be silenced by pressing any key.
12.2 “EE” ALARM
The dIXEL instruments are provided with an internal check for the data integrity. Alarm “EE” flashes
when a failure in the memory data occurs. In such cases the alarm output is enabled.
