is active in case of faulty thermostat probe. With COn=0 compressor2 is always OFF. 

COF2 Compressor2 OFF time with faulty probe2: (0÷255 min) time during which the compressor

CH2  Kind of action for section 2CL = cooling; Ht =  heating 

DISPLAY 

CF  Temperature measurement unit: °C = Celsius; °F = Fahrenheit. When the measurement unit 

is changed the SET point and the values  of some parameters have to be modified.

display: P1 = Thermostat1 probe; P2 = Evaporator probe; P2 = Thermostat2 probe 

DEFROST 

dFS  relation between defrosts.4 relation between the 2 sections of the controller are available, to 

manage different kinds of applications:

compressor is running (even non consecutively).  

SdF1 Set point for SMARTDEFROST, section 1: (-30

defrost. 

Fdt1 Drain down time, section 1: (0÷60 min.) time interval between reaching defrost termination 

temperature and the restoring of the control’s normal operation. This time allows the evaporator 
to eliminate water drops that might have formed due to defrost.

EdF2 Defrost mode, section 2:   

in = interval mode. The defrost starts when the time “IdF2” is expired.

compressor is running (even non consecutively).  

IdF2 Interval between defrosts, section 2: (1÷120h) Determines the time interval between the 

beginning of two defrost cycles.
