Defrost control

The defrost control acts on the outputs configured as 

ot

 and 

dF

.

The type of defrost is set by the parameter 

ddt

:

EL

 

With electrical heating

 (or 

By stopping compressor

): 

while defrosting, the output 

ot

 is deactivated while the 

output 

dF

 is enabled.  The defrost will be by Stopping 

compressor if not using the 

dF

 output;

in

 

With hot gas

 or 

Cycle inversion

: while defrosting both 

the 

ot

 and 

dF

 outputs are enabled:

no

 

Without compressor output conditioning

: while de-

frosting, the output 

ot

 continuous to operate in order to 

control thetemperature, also the output 

dF

 is enabled;

Et

 

With electrical heating and defrosting temperature 
control

: during defrosting, the output 

ot

 is deactivated 

while the output 

dF

 operate as evaporator temperature 

control.

In this mode the defrost lenght is by time-out (time 

ddE

).  

During the defrost, the 

dF

 output behaves as an heating 

mode control with Set Point = 

dtE

, differential fixed at 1°C 

and operates with the values of the 

EP

 evaporator probe.

5.8.1 

Starting automatic defrosts

The automatic control of defrost occours:

 

By interval times (regular or dynamic);

 

By Evaporator temperature;

 

By continuous compressor running time.

In order to avoid unnecessary defrosting when the evapora-
tor temperature is high the 

dtS

 parameter allows to set the 

temperature related to the evaporator probe (probe config-
ured as 

EP

) under which defrosts are possible.

Defrost by regular interval time

As an alternative to programmable defrosts, the instrument 
allows to execute the defrosts at programmed interval time.
Through the 

ddC

 parameter, can be set the defrost interval 

counting mode:

rt

  At real-time power-ON intervals.  The 

ddi

 interval is 

counted as the total ignition time of the instrument. This 
mode is the one currently used in the refrigeration sys-
tems.

ct

  At time intervals of the compressor operation.  The 

ddi

 

interval is counted as the sum of the operating times of 
the 

ot

 output (

ot

 output activated).  This mode is usu-

ally used in refrigeration systems with compressor stop 
defrosting.

cS

  Defrost cycle at each compressor stop. The instrument 

starts a defrost cycle every time the 

ot

 output is deacti-

vated, when the Set Point is reached or at the expiration 
of the interval set with 

ddi

 paramreter.  If 

ddi

 = 

oF

 the 

defrost happens only at compressor stop.

This mode is used only on particular refrigerating ma-
chines in which is required the maximum evaporator 
efficiency at each compressor cycle.

To enable automatic defrost at intervals, after setting the 

ddC

 

parameter as desired between 

rt

ct

 or 

cS

, with the ddi pa-

rameter select the time interval between the end of a defrost 
and the beginning of the next.
The time that the instrument must wait to perform the first 
defrost after power ON can be set with parameter 

dSd

.  This 

allows to perform the first defrost to a different interval from 

ddi

 time.

To force the instrument to perform a defrost cycle at each 

power ON (as long as the conditions set with parameters 

dtS

 and 

dtE

 are satisfied) set parameter 

dSd

 = 

oF

.

This allows the evaporator to be permanently defrosted, 
even when frequent interruptions to power supply occur that 
may cause the cancellation of the various defrosting cycles.
If instead it is desired  that all the defrosts are performed at 
the same interval time, set 

dSd

 = 

ddi

.

Setting 

ddi

 = 

oF the 

Automatic defrost function by interval 

is totally disabled (including the first, regardless of the time 
set to the 

dsd

 parameter).

Dynamic Defrost Intervals System

If 

ddd

 = 

0

 the Dynamic defrost is disabled.

Note: 

For this function is necessary to use the evaporator 
probe.

To enable the 

Dynamic Defrost Intervals System

, program 

ddC

 = 

rt

ct

 or 

cS

 and set 

ddd

 = 

any value

.

Setting 

ddd

 = 

0

, the defrost intervals are those set by the user 

and the 

Dynamic Defrost Intervals System

 is disabled.

This mode allows to dynamically reduce the defrost interval 
counting (

ddi

 or 

dSd

 if is the first defrost), anticipating, when 

necessary, the defrost execution, all based on an algorithm that 
detects a drop in the refrigerator thermal exchange performance.
The algorithm estimates a reduction in thermal exchange 
based on the increase in temperature difference between 

Pr1

 (cell control) and evaporator probe (probe configured as 

EP

).  The result is stored by the instrument when the tem-

perature is close to the Set Point setting.
The advantage of the 

Dynamic Defrost Interval

 is the possi-

bility to program a defrost interval time longer than normal.
In this way, when necessary, the instrument has the pos-
sibility to anticipate the defrost or to start the cycle after the 
programmed time.
If the system results correctly set, it is possible to avoid 
many unnecessary defrosting cycles (and therefore to obtain 
aconsistent energy saving) that may occur with normal op-
eration when, to ensure more system efficiency, the defrost-
ing interval is programmed with a time that is often too short.

Example “dynamic defrost intervals system” with a reduction 

ddd

 = 

40%

 and end defrost by temperature.

With the parameter 

ddd

 - 

Defrost interval percentage reduc-

tion

 is possible to establish the percentage of reduction of 

the remaining time to start defrost when the conditions for 
the reduction happen.
If parameter 

ddd

 = 

100%

 at the first increase of the stored 

difference of temperature (> 1°) between cell (

Pr1

) and 

evaporator (

EP

) probes a defrost starts immediately.

For correct functioning the instrument needs a first reference 
value of the temperature difference between cell and evapora-
