ACCESSING AND USING MENUS

Resources are arranged in a menu, which
can be accessed by pressing and quickly
releasing the “set” key (“Machine Status”
menu) or by holding down the “set” key
for more than 5 seconds (“Programming”
menu).
To access the contents of each folder, indi-
cated by the relevant label, just press the
“set” key once.
You can now scroll through the contents
of each folder, modify it or use its func-
tions.
If you do not use the keyboard for over
15 seconds (time-out) or if you press the
“fnc” key once, the last value shown on
the display is confirmed and you return to
the previous screen mask.

MACHINE STATUS MENU

To access the “Machine Status” menu
Press and quickly release the  “set” key.
If alarms are not present, the  label “SEt”
appears. By using the “UP” and “DOWN”

ers in the menu:
-Pb1: probe 1 value folder;
-SEt: Setpoint setting folder.

Set Setting

Access the “Machine Status” menu by
pressing and quickly releasing the “set”
key. The label of the  “SEt” folder appears.
To display the Setpoint value press the
“set” key again.
The value appears on the display.
To change the Setpoint value, use the “UP”
and “DOWN” keys  within 15 seconds.
If the parameter is LOC = y the Setpoint
cannot be changed.

Displaying Probes

By pressing the “set” key when the appro-
priate label appears, the value of the
probe associated to it is displayed.

PROGRAMMING MENU

To enter the “Programming” menu, press
the “set” key for more than 5 seconds.
If specified, the access PASSWORD will be
requested, (parameter “PA1”), and the
label of the first folder will follow.
To scroll through the other folders, use
the “UP” and “DOWN” keys.
To enter the folder, press “set”. The label
of the first visible parameter appears. To
scroll through the other parameters, use
the “UP” and “DOWN” keys; to change the
parameter, press and  release “set”, then
set the desired value using the “UP” and
“DOWN” keys, and confirm with the “set”
key to move to the next parameter.

PASSWORD

The password allows access to program-
ming parameters. In the standard configu-
ration password is not present.
To enable and assign it the desired value,
access the “Programming” menu, within
the folder with the  “diS” label. If pass-

word is enabled, you will see it at the
entrance of the “Programming” menu.

MANUAL ACTIVATION OF THE
DEFROSTING CYCLE

To manually activate the defrosting cycle,
press the “UP” key for 5 seconds.

COPY CARD

The Copy Card is an accessory connected
to the TTL serial port which allows pro-
gramming quickly the instrument parame-
ters. The operation is performed as fol-
lows:

Format

This command allows copy card format-
ting, an operation recommended in case
of first use.
Warning: if the copy card has been pro-
grammed, using the “Fr” the data entered
are erased. This operation cannot be can-
celled.

Upload

This operation loads the programming
parameters from the instrument.

Download

This operation downloads to the instru-

The operations are performed accessing
the folder identified by the “FPr” label and
selecting, according to the case, “UL”, “dL”
or “Fr” commands; the operation is con-
firmed by pressing the “set” key. If the
operation is successful an “y” is displayed,
on the contrary, if it fails a “n” will be dis-
played.

KEYBOARD LOCKING

The instrument includes a facility for dis-
abling the keyboard, by programming the
“Loc” parameter (see folder with “diS”
label). If the keyboard is locked, you can
