HACCP

4.1 Introductory comments

The device is capable of storing up to 3 HACCP alarms.
The device can furnish the following information:
• the critical value
• the alarm duration (from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes,

partial if the alarm is ongoing).

CODE ALARM TYPE (AND CRITICAL VALUE)

AL

minimum temperature alarm (the minimum temperature
of the cabinet or the minimum temperature detected by
the auxiliary probe during an any alarm state of this type)

AH

maximum temperature alarm (the maximum temperature
of the cabinet or the maximum temperature detected by
the auxiliary probe during an any alarm state of this type)

id

microport input alarm (the maximum temperature of the
cabinet during an any alarm state of this type); see also
parameter i4

Warnings:

the device records minimum temperature alarms and
maximum temperature alarms providing the temperature
associated with the alarm is the cabinet temperature
(parameters A0 and A3 = 0) or the temperature measured
by the auxiliary probe, providing its function is that of
display probe (parameter P4 = 1 and parameters A0 = 2
and A3 = 1)

the instrument updates the information on the alarms
on condition that the critical value is more critical than
the one the instrument has stored or on condition that
the information has already been displayed

no alarms will be recorded if the device is in stand-by
mode.

When the cause of the alarm is resolved, the display returns to normal.
The HACCP LED provides information relating to the status of the

HACCP 

alarm memory; please refer to paragraph 6.1.

eter C10)

ALARMS

7.1 Alarms

CODE MEANING

AL

Minimum temperature alarm (

HACCP alarm

)

Remedies:
•check the alarm temperature
• check parameters A0, A1 and A2
Main consequences:
• if parameter A0 is set to 0 or if parameter P4 is set to 1 and

parameter A0 is set to 2, the device records the alarms, on
condition that the instrument has stored no alarm of this
type or on condition that the critical value is more critical
than the one the instrument has stored

• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

AH

Maximum temperature alarm (

HACCP alarm

)

Remedies:
• check the alarm temperature
• check parameters A3, A4 and A5
Main consequences:
• if parameter A3 is set to 0 or if parameter P4 is set to 1 and

parameter A3 is set to 1, the device records the alarms, on
condition that the instrument has stored no alarm of this
type or on condition that the critical value is more critical
than the one the instrument has stored

• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

id

Microport input alarm (

HACCP alarm

)

Remedies:
• check the causes which activated the input
• check parameters i0, i1 andi4
Main consequences:
• the outcome set by parameter i0
• if parameter i4 is set to 1, the device records the alarms,

on condition that the instrument has stored no alarm of
this type or on condition that the critical value is more
critical than the one the instrument has stored (however
providing parameter i2 is not set to -1)

• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

iA

Input malfunction alarm (only if parameter P4 is set to 3)
Remedies:
• check the causes which activated the input
• check parameters i5 and i6
Main consequences:
• if parameter i5 is set to 4, the device will continue to

operate as normal

• if parameter i5 is set to 5, the compressor will be switched

off

• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

iSd

Device blocked alarm (only if parameter P4 is set to 3)
Remedies:
• check the causes which activated the input malfunction
• switch the device off then on, or disconnect the power

supply

• check parameters i5, i6, i7, i8 and i9
Main consequences:
• the regulators will be switched off
• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

COH

Condenser overheating alarm (only if parameter P4 is set
to 3)
Remedies:
• check the condenser temperature
• check parameter C6
Main consequences:
• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

CSd

Compressor blocked alarm (only if parameter P4 is set to 3)
Remedies:
• check the condenser temperature
• switch the device off and then on again: if on switching

back on again the condenser temperature is still above
the value established by parameter C7, it will be neces-
sary to disconnect the power supply and clean the con-
denser

• check parameter C7
Main consequences:
• the compressor and evaporator fan will be switched off
• if parameter u1 is set to 4, the alarm output will be acti-

vated

When the cause that triggered the alarm has been resolved, the device
will restore normal operation, except for the following alarm states:
• the device blocked alarm (code "

iSd

") which requires the device be

switched off or the power supply disconnected

• the compressor blocked alarm (code "

CSd

") which requires the

device be switched off or the power supply disconnected.
