2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
2.1 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The refrigeration of the internal cabinet is the result of low-pressure steaming of a refrigerant
liquid, type HCFC or HFC, in a thermal exchanger (evaporator). The obtained steam is
brought to the original liquid state through a mechanical compression at higher pressure
(compressor), followed by a cooling stage in another thermal exchanger (condenser).
One or more electro-mechanical fans (according to the model) grant the correct and uniform
distribution of the cold air into the chamber.
The appliance consists of a modular single structure coated with various materials and
insulated in expanded polyurethane foam, density 43 Kg/m³.
The controller is in the front panel. In some models, the user can find behind the front panel
the cooling unit represented by the condenser and the electrical loom.
The cabinet of the appliance is fitted with suitable racks for wire shelves, extractible drawers
and wire baskets. The doors are fitted with an automatic device and magnetic seal elements
easily replaceable. During the design and construction stages, the engineers have adopted
all the necessary measures to manufacture equipment compliant to specific safety
requirements such as the internal corners rounded off, the external exhaust of the
condensate liquid, lack of rough surface, fixed guards protecting moving or potentially
dangerous parts, etc. The maximum grids or drawers load for any Fiocchetti model is 30 kg,
and the weight should be uniformly distributed.
Our equipment has been developed for indoor use and it is not meant to be used
outdoors.

5.2 FUNCTIONING ECT-F TOUCH CONTROL
Introduction
The fridge is equipped with a latest generation Electronic Controller with a TFT display of 7”
Touch screen. This screen visualizes the temperature and the functioning status of the
equipment with an accuracy of 0,1°C. This instrument guarantees maximum safety in case of
alarms and failures, signaling promptly critical conditions and recording each event in order to
help the Service engineer to speed up the analysis and the repair of faulty conditions.
Safety is at the highest level by means of alarms for High and Low temperature, power
failure, open door as well as auto test to prevent failures. Safety is also assured in case of
faulty compressor relays or faulty defrost relays in order to prevent the freezing or
overheating of products.
The instrument records every 30 Seconds the equipment temperatures with a resolution
accuracy of 0,1°C.
Data are registered in two memories: the first is a flash memory able to store 1 year
operations; the second memory is represented by Secure Digital (SD) which works as a black
box since it can store up to 5 years of data.
In the display it is possible to charge data to build graphs from both memories.
The registered information in the SD is the following:
Day of the week, date and hour
Temperature chamber A and B (Chamber –Evaporator - Condenser)
Temperature chamber A and B (Chamber A e Chamber B with DMLP TOUCH)
Product simulator temperature (only with DMLP TOUCH)
Programmed Setpoint
Status door chamber A and B (Opening –Closed)
Duration door opening chamber A and B
Relay status to remote alarms (Dry contact)
Buffer battery tension (if present)
Presence/absence of the mains
Humidity probe temperature (if present)
High and Low alarms of temperature for both chambers and alarm delays (only with
DMLP TOUCH)
Alarm and failure codes
