With instrument off:
•
Insert the key.
•
Switch on the instrument.
•
Data download now starts from the key to the instrument.
During this stage adjustments are blocked and the lower display shows flashing message “
doL
”.
At the end of the procedure one of two messages will be shown on the upper display:
•
“
End
” if programming was successful (control starts after 30 seconds).
•
“
Err
” if programming failed.
In the event of an error the instrument must be switched off and switched on again to repeat the operation or start with normal
control (in this case the key must be unplugged when the instrument is off).

The electronic controller manages compressor start and stops, observing the minimum run times.
The following section describes the two methods of control and rotation.

The controller features the facility to choose between two temperature control types:
•
Proportional
•
Neutral Zone (factory setting)

P r o p o r t i o n a l c o n t r o l
For chillers, proportional control uses the setpoint temperature value as a reference and a deviation value called the
differential. When the measured temperature increases the system progressively starts the compressors. When the
temperature falls below the differential the compressors are progressively stopped.
