1I TRODUCTIO
1.1 Introduction
The Vcolor 819 series is a range of stylish controllers
for managing top-class blast chillers.
Available in split version, the user interface can be
built into the unit mechanically for optimum aesthetic
effect. It consists of a 5-inch (Vcolor 819M) or 7-inch
(Vcolor 819L) capacitive TFT touch-screen graphic
display, in either vertical or horizontal format. The
display features 65K colours, 800 x 480 pixel
resolution and guarantees IP65 protection, for easy
cleaning.
These controllers can run positive and negative blast
chilling cycles, both temperature and time controlled,
with hard/soft and blast chilling intensity management
functions, the latter requiring an external fan speed
regulator. Before each temperature cycle, a test is run
to check that the needle probe is correctly inserted
(including multipoint probes).
An external multi-functional module makes it possible
to transform the blast chiller into a multi-functional
device for managing retarding-proofing and slow
cooking cycles. It is also possible to team a slow
cooking function with subsequent holding or blast
chilling and conservation functions.
The user interface is installed from behind using
threaded studs, making the display flush with the
front.

3.7 Installation precautions
- Ensure that the working conditions for the device (operating temperature, humidity, etc.) are within the
set limits. See section 16 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
- Do not install the device close to heat sources (heaters, hot air ducts, etc.), equipment with a strong
magnetic field (large diffusers, etc.), in places subject to direct sunlight, rain, damp, excessive dust,
mechanical vibrations or shocks.
- Any metal items close to the control module must be at a sufficient distance so as not to compromise
the safety distance; any cabling must be placed at least 2 cm away.
- In compliance with safety regulations, the device must be installed properly to ensure adequate
protection from contact with electrical parts. All protective parts must be fixed in such a way as to need
the aid of a tool to remove them.

4.3 Precautions for electrical connection
- Do not use electric or pneumatic screwdrivers on the terminal blocks of the device.
- If the device has been moved from a cold to a warm place, the humidity may cause condensation to
form inside. Wait about an hour before switching on the power.
- Make sure that the supply voltage, electrical frequency and power of the device correspond to the local
power supply. See section 17 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
- Disconnect the device from the power supply before doing any type of maintenance.
- Do not use the device as safety device.
- For repairs and for further information on the device, contact the EVCO sales network.

5USER I TERFACE
5.1 Initial information
The interface has the following operating modes:
- “off” (no power to the device);
- “stand-by” (the device is powered but switched off);
- “on” (the device is powered, switched on and awaiting start-up of an operating cycle);
- “run” (the device is powered, switched on and running an operating cycle).
Terminology: “switch on the device” means moving from “stand-by” to “on” mode and “switch off the device” means
moving from “on” to “stand-by” mode.
If the power supply fails during “stand-by” or “on” mode, when power is restored the device will return to the mode
set before the failure.
If the power supply fails during “run” mode, when power is restored the device will operate as follows:
- if blast chilling or blast-freezing was in progress, the cycle will resume, taking into account the duration
of the power loss;
- if a conservation cycle was running, this will continue using the same settings;
- if a proofing or slow cooking cycle was running, the cycle will continue where it left off.
5.2 Initial switch-on
Connect the power supply to the device: if parameter E9 is set at 1, the device will show the EVCO splash screen for
10 seconds; if the parameter is set at 0, a system loading screen will be shown:
E9=1 E9=0

Once loading is complete, the device will display the mode it was in before being powered down:
- On/Stand-by screen, press the central area to move to the Home screen;
- directly the Home screen.

→
Home screen
If the power supply has been cut off long enough to cause a clock error (RTC code), it will be necessary to
reset the date and time. The date and time can be set from the settings screen, service section (paragraph
12.1).
5.3 Switching the device on and off
To switch the device on, press the central area in the
On/Stand-by screen and the Home screen will open.
To switch the device off, press the red area at the
bottom of the Home screen.

5.4 Lock/unlock keypad
The keypad can be locked by setting parameter E7 to 1, locking the keypad after the period of inactivity set by
parameter E8.
If the keypad is locked, a pop-up will appear when it is touched indicating that it is locked and how to unlock it. It can
be unlocked by dragging a finger to the right.
5.5 Silencing the buzzer
Press any key while the buzzer is sounding.
5.6 Door-open signal
When the door is opened the signal shown below will appear on the display.
Press any area on the display to remove this signal.
