4.5 - Parameters description

F01 - Control differential (hysteresis)

It is the difference of temperature (hysteresis) between to turn OFF and turn ON the refrigeration 
output.

Exemple: 

To control the temperature in 4.0°C with differential of 1.0°C. Soon, the refrigeration will be 

turned off in 4.0°C and turned on again in 5.0°C (4.0+1.0)

F02 - Minimum setpoint allowed to the end user 

F03 - Maximum setpoint allowed to the end user

Electronic limits whose purpose is prevent that too high or too low setpoint temperatures are
regulated.

F04 - Delay when the instrument is powered on

When the instrument is powered on, its control is kept disabled during a time, delaying the start of 
process. During this time, it works only as temperature indicator. It serves to prevent demand of electric 
energy peaks, in case of lack or return of the same and when exists a lot of equipment connected on the 
same net. For this, just adjust different times for each equipment. This delay may be of compressor or 
defrost (when exist defrost on turn on).

F05 - Offset indication for ambient temperature sensor

Allows it to compensate for eventual ambient temperature (S1) misreading, usually due to a sensor 
replacement.

F06 - Offset indication for evaporator sensor

Allows it to compensate for eventual evaporator temperature (S2) misreading, usually due to a sensor 
replacement.

F07 - Operation mode of digital input 1  (*)

F08 - Operation mode of digital input 2  (*)

Allows to choose between the following peration modes of digital inputs:

0 - disabled

1 - open door signaling, NC contact;
2 - defrost by external sync, NC contact;
3 - pressostat status , NC contact;
4 - open door signaling, NO contact
5 - defrost by external sync, NO contact;
6 - pressostat status , NO contact.

Note:

1 - When a door opens, the Buzzer sounds (by means of the conditions set in F38 and F41), and the
“FANS” output will be turned off. The screen will keep showing           .
2 - When an external sync defrost event occurs, the manual defrost will be forced on.
3 - When a pressure switch event occurs, the “COMP”, “FANS” and “DEFR” outputs will be turned off. The 
screen will keep showing           .

F09 - Evaporator temperature (S2) for fan return after draining

After the draining, the fan-delay cycle starts. The refrigeration (COMP) output is turned on, because the 
evaporator temperature is high, but the fan only is turned on after evaporator temperature decreases the 
adjusted value. This process is necessary to remove the heat that exists in the evaporator because the 
defrost, preventing to pass it to the ambient.

F10 - Maximum time of fan return after draining (fan-delay)

For security, if the evaporator temperature does not reach the adjusted value in F09 or the S2 sensor is 
detached, the fan-delay will happen after passed the adjusted time in this function. 

F11 - Minimum time of compressor turned on

It is the time that the compressor will keep turned on, it means, the time period between the last started and 
the next stopped. It serves to prevent high voltage from the mains.

F12 - Minimum time of compressor turned off

It is the minimum time that the compressor will keep turned off, it means, the time period between the last 
stopped and the next started. It serves to alliviate the pressure and to increase the useful life of the 
compressor.

F13 - Compressor status with detached ambient sensor (S1)

If the ambient sensor (S1) is detached or out specified range, the compressor assumes the configured 
status in this function. 

Exemple:

 For counters that storage fruits it is better that the compressor keeps turned off, but in counters 

that storage meats it is better that the compressor keeps turned on.

F14 - Fan on with compressor off (refrigeration)

During refrigeration, the fan can be depend of the compressor status.
       ”0” = The fan keeps turned on while compressor is turned on (this alternative, in some cases,  
       Possibilities a great economy of electrical energy).
       ”1” = The fan keeps turned on during all refrigeration cycle.

F15 - Fan stop for high temperature in evaporator

This function cycles the evaporator fan until that ambient temperature approaches of the temperature 
desired in the refrigerating installation project. This preventing high temperature and suction pressures 
that can damage the compressor. If the temperature in evaporator pass the adjusted value, the fan is 
turned off, turning on again with a configurable hysteresis in F16. Valuable resource when refrigeration 
equipment that had been inactive for a few days or refrigerated cases are restocked with its proper 
merchandise.

F16 - Fan return hysteresis (after stopping due to high evaporator temperature)

This allows for determining the temperature difference for the fan to resume operation after stopping
 due to exceeding the desired temperature in the evaporator.

F18 - Evaporator temperature to start defrosting (if F22=1)

When the evaporator temperature reaches the value set in this function the controller starts to count the 
time to confirm a low S2 temperature to start defrosting (F19).

F19 - Time to confirm a low S2 temperature to start defrosting (if F22=1)

When the evaporator temperature drops and then reaches the value set in F18, the controller starts to 
count the confirmation time to start defrosting. During this step, if the temperature remains low the 
controller starts defrosting. Otherwise, if the temperature rises by at least 1°C above the setpoint, the 
system continues in the refrigeration mode.

F20 - Maximum time with compressor turned on without reaching the set point (to warn)

If the time set in this function is exceeded while the compressor is on and the setpoint is not reached, 
the display will show            . This indication will disappear when the compressor is turned off. 

F21 - Defrosting type

      0 - Electric defrosting (by resistance), where only the defrost output is activated

1 - Defrosting by hot gas, where the compressor output and the defrost output are activated

F17 - Maximum time in refrigeration mode (for safety reasons, if F22=1)

This acts as a safety time when the function "defrost by temperature" is enabled (F22 = 1), and the 
evaporator temperature does not reach the value set in F18. This function determines the maximum 
time the controller will remain without perform defrosting.

F22 - Condition to start defrosting (**)

This defines whether defrosting will start by time, by temperature or by scheduling:

0 - time (cyclic)
1 -

 

temperature

2 - schedule (RTC)

F23 - Interval between defrosts (if F22=0)

This determines the time the instrument will wait between defrosts, with the time being counted from 
the last defrost. Defrosting will only be started if the S2 temperature (evaporator sensor) is below the 
temperature indicated in F27.

F24 - Time for collecting the gas before the start of the defrost cycle

After starting the defrost the controller will keep only the fan on for this time to use the remaining 
energy of the gas.

F25 - Delay before performing the 1st defrost (if F22=0)

This function allows extra time for the instrument to remain in the refrigeration mode before performing 
the first defrost cycle to avoid defrosting several chambers at the same time. This time is shown only 
before the first defrost cycle when F22=0 (start defrost by time).

F26 - Defrost when the instrument is powered on

It possibilities the defrost at the moment that the  controller is turned on, for example, in return of electrical 
energy (in case of energy lacks).
