LAE electronic AH1-5 User manual

Caution: if DFM=NON or C-H=HEA all defrost functions are
inhibited; if DFT=0, automatic defrost functions are excluded.
During a high pressure alarm, defrost is suspended. During
defrost, high temperature alarm is bypassed.
Defrost output as heater control. The defrost output can be
used to drive a heater. This is achieved through parameters
HED and HEH.

Readout scale.
1°C (with INP=SN4 only): measuring range -50/-9.9 … 19.9/80°C
2°C : measuring range -50 … 120°C
°F : measuring range -55 … 240°F
Caution: upon changing the SCL value, it is then absolutely necessary to re-congure the
parameters relevant to the absolute and relative temperatures (SPL, SPH, SP, ALA, AHA, etc..).
SPL -50..SPH Minimum limit for SP setting.
SPH SPL.120° Maximum limit for SP setting.
SP SPL... SPH Setpoint (value to be maintained in the room).

HED 0...10° Heating neutral zone.
When T1 < SP-HED-HYS , the defrost output is
turned on, when T1 > SP-HED the defrost output
is turned off. During this operation, the defrost
timer is cleared.
The fan output is switched according to the
defrost output (heater), regardless of the FID
parameter.
HEH 0...10° Heating hysteresis.
If HEH=0 the heater function associated to the defrost output is inhibited.
CRT 0...30min Compressor rest time. The output is switched on again after CRT minutes have elapsed since the
previous switchover. We recommend to set CRT=03 with HYS<2.0°.

CT2 0...30min Thermostat output stop when probe T1 is faulty. With CT2=0 and CT1>0 the output will always be ON.
Example: CT1=4, CT2= 6: In case of probe T1 failure, the compressor will cycle 4 minutes ON and 6
minutes OFF.
CSD 0..30min Compressor stop delay after the door has been opened (active only if DS=YES).
2CD 0...120sec Auxiliary compressor start delay. If OAU = 2CU the auxiliary output is switched on with a delay of 2CD

started.
DFB NO/YES Defrost timer count backup. With DFB=YES, after a power interruption, the timer resumes the count from
where it was left off with ±30 min. approximation. With DFB=NO, after a power interruption, the defrost
timer will re-start to count from zero.

INFO MENU
The information available in this menu is:
Instant probe 1 temperature Minimum probe 1 temperature recorded
Instant probe 2 temperature Compressor working weeks
Instant probe 3 temperature Keypad state lock
Maximum probe 1 temperature recorded
Access to menu and information displayed.
Press and immediately release button .
With button or select the data to be displayed.
Press button to display value.
To exit from the menu, press button or wait for 10 seconds.
Reset of THI, TLO, CND recordings
With button or select the data to be reset.
Display the value with button .
While keeping button pressed, use button .
SETPOINT (display and modication of desired temperature value)
Press button for at least half second, to display the setpoint value.
By keeping button pressed, use button or to set the desired value (adjustment is within the minimum SPL and the
maximum SPH limit).
When button is released, the new value is stored.
STAND-BY
Button , when pressed for 3 seconds, allows the controller to be put on a standby or output control to be resumed (with SB=YES
only).
KEYPAD LOCK
The keypad lock avoids undesired, potentially dangerous operations, which might be attempted when the controller is operating in
a public place. In the INFO menu, set parameter LOC=YES to inhibit all functions of the buttons. To resume normal operation of
keypad, adjust setting so that LOC=NO.
SELECTION OF SECOND PARAMETER GROUP
It’s possible to select control parameters between two different pre-programmed groups, in order for the fundamental control
parameters to be adapted quickly to changing needs.
Changeover from Group Ito Group II (and vice versa) may take place manually by pressing button for 2 seconds (with
IISM=MAN), or automatically when heavy duty conditions are detected (with IISM=HDD), or when IISM=DI2 and the auxiliary input
DI2 is activated (the activation of DI2 selects Group II). If IISM=NON, switchover to Group II is inhibited. The activation of Group II
is signalled by the lighting up of the relevant LED on the controller display.
DEFROST
Automatic defrost. A defrost is started automatically as soon as the time set with parameter DFT has elapsed.
Timed defrost. With DFM=TIM the timer increment is continuous and defrosts take place at regular intervals. For example, with
DFM=TIM and DFT=06, a defrost will take place every 6 hours.
Optimized defrost. With DFM=FRO the timer is only increased when the conditions occur for frost to form on the evaporator, until
the time set with parameter DFT is matched. If the evaporator works at 0°C, defrost frequency depends on the thermal load and
climatic conditions. With setpoints much lower than 0°C, defrost frequency mainly depends on the refrigerator operating time.
Defrost time count backup■ . At the power-up, if DFB=YES, the defrost timer resumes the time count from where it was left off
before the power interruption. Vice versa, with DFB=NO, the time count re-starts from 0. In stand-by, the accumulated time count
is frozen.
Defrost timer reset■ . The timer value is kept to zero as long as T2 temperature (evaporator) is higher than DRT value. The timer
will increment only if T2 temperature is lower than DRT value.
Manual or remote defrost start. It’s possible to manually start a defrost, by pressing button for 2 seconds, or defrost may be
started remotely, if DI2=RDS, through the making of the auxiliary contact DI2.
Defrost type. Once defrost has started, Compressor and Defrost outputs are controlled according to parameter DTY. If FID=YES,
the evaporator fans are active during defrost.
Defrost termination. The actual defrost duration is inuenced by a series of parameters.
Time termination: T2=NO and T3 different from 2EU: the evaporator temperature is not monitored and defrost will last as long
as time DTO.
Temperature monitoring of one evaporator: T2=YES and T3 different from 2EU. In this case, if the sensor T2 measures the
temperature DLI before the time DTO elapses, defrost will be terminated in advance.
Temperature monitoring of two evaporators: T2=YES, T3=2EU, OAU=2EU. This function is for the control of two independent
evaporators and it switches off the individual heating of the evaporator which gets to temperature DLI rst, waiting for the second
evaporator to get to that temperature before the time DTO elapses (see gure).
Resuming thermostatic cycle. When defrost is over, if DRN is greater than 0, all outputs will remain off for DRN minutes, in order
for the ice to melt completely and the resulting water to drain. Moreover, if probe T2 is active (T2=YES), the fans will re-start when the
evaporator gets to a temperature lower than FDD; Vice versa, if probe T2 is not active (T2=NO) or after defrost has come to an end,
such condition does not occur by end of the time FTO, after FTO minutes have elapsed the fans will be switched on anyway.
OPERATION
Insert the controller through a hole measuring 71x29 mm.
Make sure that electrical connections comply with the paragraph “wiring diagrams”. To reduce the effects of electromagnetic
disturbance, keep the sensor and signal cables well separate from the power wires.
Fix the controller to the panel by means of the suitable clips, by pressingly gently; if tted, check that the rubber gasket adheres
to the panel perfectly, in order to prevent debris and moisture inltration to the back of the instrument.
Place the probe T1 inside the room in a point that truly represents the temperature of the stored product.
Place the probe T2 on the evaporator where there is the maximum formation of frost.
The function of probe T3 is determined by the parameter T3. With T3=DSP the probe measures the temperature to be displayed.
With T3=CND the probe measures the condenser temperature, it must therefore be placed between the ns of the condensing
unit. With T3=2EU the probe measures the temperature of the second evaporator and it must therefore be placed where there is
the maximum formation of frost. With T3=NON, the third probe is disabled.
