2 USER INTERFACE
2.1 Introductory comments
The device has the following operational states:
• "on" (power is connected and the device is on: the regulators may
be switched on)
• "stand-by" (power is connected but software sets the device to off:
the regulators are switched off; the option of manually switching
on/off the cabinet light or the auxiliary output depends on param-
eter u2).
The term "switching on" is understood to mean switching from the
stand-by state to on; the term "switching off" is understood to mean
switching from the on state to the stand-by state.
When the device is switched on, the status it was in when the power
was interrupted is restored.
2.2 Manual switching on/off of the device
• ensure the keyboard is not blocked and that no procedures are
running
• press for 4 s.
It is also possible to switch the device on/off using the multifunction
input.
2.3 The multideck function
If parameter P4 is set to 4, the Multideck will be active. In this case, the
temperature associated with the main regulator (i.e. the compressor)
will mainly be a function of the temperature detected by the cabinet
probe (in this application referred to as "air probe on") and the tem-
perature detected by the auxiliary probe (in this application referred
to as "air probe off").
The formula used to calculate the temperature (in this application re-
ferred to as "CPT temperature", Calculated Product Temperature) is s
follows:
CPT temperature = {(parameter P7 x air on temperature) + [(100 - pa-
rameter P7) x air off temperature]}
See also parameters d10 and d11.
If parameter P4 is set to 0, 1, 2 or 3, the Multideck function will not be
active.
In this case, the temperature associated with the main regulator (i.e. the
compressor) will be that of the cabinet.
2.4 The display
If the device is switched on, then during normal operation the display
will show the quantity assigned by parameter P5:

of the cabinet; if P5 = 0 and P4 = 4, the display will show the CPT
temperature
• if P5 = 1, the display will show the operational setpoint
• if P5 = 2, the display will show the evaporator temperature
• if P5 = 3, the display will show "cabinet temperature - evaporator
temperature"
• if P5 = 4, the display will show the temperature detected by the
auxiliary probe (only if parameter P4 is set to 1, 2 or 4).
While in stand-by mode the display is switched off.

(1) the unit of measurement depends on parameter P2
(2) set appropriate regulator parameters after altering parameter P2
(3) if parameter u1 is set to 3, the service controlled by the fourth output will be compressor 2: compressor 1 and compressor 2 are referred to as "compressor"; compressor 2 operates in parallel with compressor
1, regardless of parameter C9
(4) the parameter is even effective after power supply interruption, such as when the device is switched on
(5) the time period established by the parameter is counted even while in stand-by mode
(6) if parameter C1 is set to 0, the cabinet probe error resolution delay (if P4 = 4, also from resolution of auxiliary probe, air off probe error) will be 2 minutes in any case
(7) the parameter differential is 2.0C/4F
(8) if, on device start-up, the condenser temperature is already above that established by parameter C7, parameter C8 will have no effect
(9) the device stores the defrost interval count every 30 minutes; altering parameter d0 has the effect of concluding the previous defrost interval or manual defrost activation
(10) the display is restored to normal operation when, the evaporator fan stop is concluded, the cabinet temperature (if P4 = 4, the CPT temperature) drops below that which blocked the display (or if a temperature alarm
occurs)
(11) if parameter P3 is set to 0 or 2, the device will operate as though parameter d8 was set to 0
(12) if, on defrost activation, the compressor on duration is less than the time established by parameter dA, the compressor will remain on for the fraction of time required to complete it
(13) if parameter P3 is set to 0, the device will operate as though parameter A0 was set to 0, but will not record the alarm
(14) if parameter P4 is set to 0 or 3, the device will operate as though the parameter was set to 0, but will not record the alarm
(15) during defrosting, drip draining and ventilator fan stop, there are no temperature alarms, if said occur following defrost activation
(16) there is no maximum temperature alarm while microport input is enabled, if occurring after input activation
(17) if parameter P3 is set to 0, the device will operate as though parameter F0 was set to 2
(18) the compressor is switched off 10 s after activation of the input; if the input is activated during defrosting or evaporator fan stop, activation will have no effect on the compressor
(19) the device records alarms occurring after the time established by parameter i2; if parameter i2 is set to -1, the device does not record the alarms
(20) ensure that the time established by parameter i7 s less than that established by parameter i9
(21) in order to avoid damage to the service connected, modify the parameter while in stand-by mode
(22) if the fourth output terminals are connected to the fourth input terminals of several devices, it will be possible to synchronise defrosting (providing that in each device, parameter P4 is set to 3, that parameter i5 is
set to 1 and parameter u1 is set to 7); in this case, drip-drain duration counting starts when defrosting of the last device is concluded
(23) it is recommended that parameter d7 for each device be set to the same value (different from 0 min); similarly, it is recommended to set parameter F3 for each device to the same value
(24) if parameter u2 is set to 0, switching off the device may cause switching off of the cabinet light or the auxiliary output (the service will remain off on subsequent switching on of the device); if parameter u2 is set
to 1, switching off the device does not cause switching off of the cabinet light or the auxiliary output (the service remains on on subsequent switching on of the device).
The device must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations pertaining to the collection of electrical and electronic appliances.
