3.4 Packaged unit operation
3.4.1 General operation
The packaged unit is a refrigerating unit composed of a
condensing part [A], a controller [B] and an evaporating
part [C] located above the ceiling of the cold room and
an air ducting system [D] and an air conveyor [E]
applied to the ceiling inside the cold room. The
BESTCM R290
EN

controller manages the refrigeration and defrost
cycles.
The refrigeration cycle is the compression type and the
refrigerant gas is condensed and evaporated cyclically.
Defrosting is of the hot gas type and takes place
automatically with a cyclic frequency that can be
modified by the user or fully automatically via the
Smart Defrost function already active in the standard
configuration.
3.4.2 Operation of the MY I.D. App
Within the App you can access the following sections:
lNews: to know the news and events of the
Rivacold world.
lSelect: to know all the Rivacold products.
lDocuments: to download the sales and technical
documentation relating to Rivacold products.
lMy Vision: to have access to the cloud through
which it is possible to monitor and control the
operation of every packaged unit. The IOT service
must be purchased to have access to this area
lSmart Control: to control and command the
packaged unit using the mobile device connected
via Bluetooth, instead of the interface on the
machine.
lContacts: to know and find the closest Rivacold
sales contact person.

lIf you need to accompany the load with your hands,
pull the load. DO NOT push it.
lLift the load continuously, without jerking or sudden
movements.
lAfter placing the load on the ground, slacken the
tension on the tie rods before removing the lifting
accessories.
4.1.6 Lifting angle
The angle between the tie rods changes the applied
load according to the following diagram:
