Light-emitting diodes (LED) on front panel

All 4 light-emitting diodes will flash when there is an error in the 
regulation.

In this situation you can upload the error code on the display and 

cancel the alarm by giving the uppermost button a brief push.

The controller can give the following messages:

E1

Error message

Fault in controller

E15

Cut-out S2 sensor

E16

Short circuited S2 sensor

E17

Cut-out  S3 sensor

E18

A11

Alarm message

No refrigerant has been selected

A43

A45

Regulation stopped. Main switch r12 = off

Display

The values will be shown with three digits. 

Temperature are shown in °C  and pressure in bar.

Operation

Menu survey

The buttons

When you want to change a setting, the two buttons will give you 

a higher or lower value depending on the button you are push-

ing. But before you change the value, you must have access to the 

menu. You obtain this by pushing the upper button for a couple 

of seconds - you will then enter the column with parameter codes. 

Find the parameter code you want to change and push the two 

buttons simultaneously. When you have changed the value, save 

the new value by once more pushing the two buttons simultane-

ously.

Examples of operations

Set of a menu

1. Push the upper button until a parameter is shown

2. Push one of the buttons and find the parameter you want to 

change

3. Push both buttons simultaneously until the parameter value is 

shown

4. Push one of the buttons and select the new value

5. Push both buttons again to conclude the setting

Normal display
Displays either the valve's current opening degree or the current superheat value.

(Can be set in o17)

Briefly pushing the bottom button will display one of the two readings.

Briefly pushing both buttons will display the superheat reference (u22).

*) This setting will only be possible if a data communication module has been installed in the 
controller.

**) The display on the controller can show 3 digits only, but  the setting value has 4 digits. Only the 

3 most important will be shown. It means fx. 250 will give a setting of 2500.
