NOTE: 

If the number of hours of the compressor exceeds 999, the number will be shown in two steps: 

Thousands first and then hundreds, tens and units.

6.2 - Manual defrost (instant)

To perform a manual defrost regardless of programming, keep the key         pressed for 4 seconds until 
the indication            is shown. Release the key and            will appear.
If the instrument is in the defrost cycle and an interruption is required, proceed as per the instructions 
above until the indication             is shown. Release the key and            will appear.

6.3 - Minimum and maximum temperature register 

By pressing        , short touch, the           sign will appear and the maximum and minimum temperatures 
of the sensor S1(ambient temperature) will appear. Soon           will appear showing the minimum and 
maximum temperatures of the sensor S2 (evaporator). Next will appear the minimum and maximum 
voltages, preceded by the              sign .

Note:

  To  reset  settings,  hold  the            key  through  all  the  minimum  and  maximum  temperature 

visualization until             appear.

6.4 - Visualizing the current weekday and time

Press quickly the          key. It will appear:

DAY OF THE MONTH        MONTH       YEAR        HOURS        MINUTES        SECONDS      DAY

6.5 - Viewing the supply voltage

By pressing the         and         keys for 5 seconds, it will appear the supply voltage of the instrument, 
preceded by the             message.

6.7 -  Manual datalogger activation

Press        and         simultaneously for 10 seconds to activate or deactivate the operation of the internal 
voltage recorder (data-logger). The message             will be showned followed by the message
when the data-logger is activated and            when it is deactivated.
Note:   The status of the datalogger will only change alternate between            and             if the function 
F46 is set to 2 (manual datalogger operation).

6.8 - Hour-meter reset

When the number of hours with the compressor on reaches the value set in F63, the display will show a
           warning, indicating that maintenance should be done. To reset this counter (It can be done only 
after the warning occurs), press           for 10 seconds.

6.9 - Turn off the control functions

Pressing         for 5 seconds, the controller will go to a state where only temperatures and voltages are 
read, where no control are performed and where all outputs kept off. Communication with SITRAD 
software and the Datalogger will still work. To make the device fully operational again,  press          again 
for 5 seconds.
