Operation and control

CO

IN 1

IN 2

OUT

After the setpoint temperature has been reached,

the CO

2

concentration is displayed in %, depending

on the setting.

IN 1

indicates that gas bottle 1

is active.

Is displayed if the CO

2

concentration exceeds the

defined setpoint by at least 1 % for more than 3

minutes. If the concentration is higher, the CO

2

display and the icon flash.
In this case you should open the door for 30 sec.

and wait to see if the controller steadily adjusts

to the setpoint. If the error occurs again, contact

Customer Service.

This monitoring function only starts to work

once the CO

2

setpoint has been reached.

CO2 empt is displayed if gas bottle 1 and/or 2 is/are

empty. In this case, you should connect new gas

bottles (see page 28 ).

The pressure in the gas bottles is a constant

approx. 57 bar at 20 °C ambient temperature. It

is not possible to determine how full the bottle

is through the pressure, since the pressure only

drops immediately before the bottle is com-

pletely empty.

The CO

2

supply is automatically interrupted when

the outer doors are opened. door open is indicated

in the text display.

e m p t y

is displayed if the N

2

supply is interrupted. In this

case, check if the N

2

bottle is correctly connected

and if the valve is open.
If that does not solve the problem, you should con-

nect a new gas bottle (see page 25 ).

Automatic switch-over of CO

2

gas bottles (only for models with comfort or premium

modules)

The automatic switch-over of gas bottles guarantees an uninterrupted supply with CO

2

gas

when two independent supply systems are connected.

Gas bottle 1 is always the main supply bottle.

Gas bottle 2 is always the reserve bottle.

Operation is only possible with one bottle. In this case it must be connected to IN1 (see also

Fig. 4 on page 13 ).
