results corrupted.
6. Installation in the coolers
During the industrial production of the coolers, there should be a phase in which the electronic
thermostat is installed. In the same phase, also the OCTO device has to be installed. The following pre-
conditions have to be satisfied:
Pre-condition 1: The installation position has to be determined during the analysis performed as
described in Section 5.
Pre-condition 2: One COMM CABLE for each cooler has been correctly assembled for the
corresponding thermostat model with the appropriate length with respect to the
position of both the OCTO and the electronic thermostat.
Pre-condition 3: A power supply cable has been prepared using one of the connectors illustrated in
Fig. 4.
Pre-condition 4: If a metal protection is provided, this must not cover the antenna of the device (see
Fig. 7).
Pre-condition 5: the controller has to be programmed in order to properly manage all the sensors.
Thus, for example, if a door sensor is installed, even if it is not needed for the cooler
management (i.e. no need to switch off the fan), the controller must be programmed
in order to properly detect and manage the door sensor itself. For any clarification,
ask to your local Danfoss agent.
For the installation, the following steps have to be performed:
Step 1: While the cooler is off, put the OCTO unplugged inside the cooler in the appropriate position.
Step 2: Connect the COMM cable to the thermostat and to the OCTO.
Step 3: Connect the power supply cable to the OCTO while such cable is not powered, as illustrated in
Fig. 3.
Step 4: Install the protection, if any.
Step 5: Power on the cooler (and consequently the OCTO). The red led of the OCTO starts blinking.
Wait until the red led stops blinking. If it results always on, then the device is powered and the
communication with the electronic thermostat is correctly established.
Step 6: Wait until the green led remains always on.
Step 7: In case of success in STEP 6, and only in such case, the cooler code and the OCTO code have
to be associated. This association is illustrated in Fig. 8. Both the cooler serial number and
the OCTO Device Code have to be read using a bar code reader and to be traced in a special
document where the cooler model, the cooler serial number and the OCTO device code must
be written.
Note:
In case STEP 7 is not properly executed, the future owner of the cooler will not recognize the
cooler through the Prosa infrastructure.
