Recommendations for installation:
• the maximum depth with screw terminal blocks is 59.0
• the maximum depth with removable terminal blocks is 83.0
• the panel thickness must not exceed 8,0 mm
• ensure that the operating conditions (operating temperature, humid-
ity, etc.) are within the limits indicated in the technical data sheets
• do not install the device near to any sources of heat (heating elements,
hot air conduits, etc.), equipment containing powerful magnets (large
diffusers, etc.), areas affected by direct sunlight, rain, humidity, exces-
sive dust, mechanical vibration or shock
• in compliance with safety regulations, the device must be installed
correctly, and in such a way as to protect against any contact with
electrical parts; all safety devices must be fixed so that they cannot be
removed without the use of tools.
1.3 Electrical connections
With reference to the electrical circuit diagram:
• the service controlled by relay K2 depends on parameter u0
• the serial port (available on request) is the port used for communicat-
ing with the monitoring system (by means of a serial interface, via TTL,
using the MODBUS communication protocol) or with the program-
ming key; the port must not be used for both purposes simultane-
ously.
Points to note for connecting to the electricity supply
• do not use electric or pneumatic screw-wrenches on the terminal
board
• if the device has been moved from a cold to a warm environment,
condensation may have formed inside; please wait approx. one hour
prior to switching on
• ensure that the voltage, frequency and operational power of the device
are compatible with the local power supply
•disconnect the power prior to proceeding with any kind of mainte-
nance operation
• do not use the device as a safety device
• for repairs and any information relating to the device, contact the
Evco dealer network.

USER INTERFACE
2.1 Introductory information
The device has the following operational states:
• "on" (the device is switched on and an operating cycle is running)
• "stand-by" (the device is switched on but no operating cycle is run-
ning)
• "off" (the device is not switched on).
If power is interrupted during a timed blast chilling operation, when
power is restored, chilling will continue from the time point at which
the interruption occurred (with a maximum error of 10 minutes).
If power is interrupted during a set-temperature blast chilling opera-
tion, when power is restored, chilling will start again from the begin-
ning.
If power is interrupted during a storage operation, when power is
restored the storage operation will be reset.
If power is interrupted while in "stand-by" mode, when power is re-
stored the device will be in the same state.
2.2 The display
In the "on" state, during normal operation, the display shows:
• the amount of time remaining for a timed blast chilling operation, if
this is ongoing
• the temperature measured by the pin probe if a set-temperature chill-
ing operation is ongoing
• the temperature of the cabinet, if storage is ongoing.
In "stand-by" mode, during normal operation, the display shows the
temperature of the cabinet for ½ s every 3 s.
2.3 Defrosting and the evaporator fan
The service controlled by relay K2 depends on parameter u0:
• if u0 = 0, the service controlled by relay K2 will be defrosting (electri-
cal defrosting; the evaporator fan is not controlled)
• if u0 = 0, the service controlled by relay K2 will be defrosting (electri-
cal defrosting; the evaporator fan is not controlled):
- during blast chilling, operation of the evaporator fan depends on
parameter F0
- during storage, operation of the evaporator fan depends on param-
eter F2
- the evaporator fan is started during defrosting.
In "stand-by" mode it is only possible to activate manual defrosting; if
the service controlled by relay K2 is the evaporator fan (parameter u0
= 1), during defrosting the evaporator fan will be switched on, and
during drip-draining, this will be switched off.
To start defrosting in manual mode:
• ensure no procedure is running
• press
for 4 s.
Defrosting is never activated during blast-chilling.
Defrosting occurs periodically during storage; it is possible to start
defrosting manually.
2.4 Viewing the status of the compressor and the evapora-
tor fan
To view the compressor status:
• ensure no procedure is running
• press
: the display will show the first available label:
- if the display shows "C-1", the compressor will be switched-on
- if the display shows "C-0", the compressor will be switched off
- if the display shows "C-P", compressor protection will be ongoing
(parameters C0, C1, C2 and i7).
To view the status of the evaporator fan:
• ensure no procedure is running
• press
twice: the display will show the first available label:
- if the display shows "F-1", the evaporator fan will be switched on
- if the display shows "F-0", the evaporator fan will be switched off
- if the display shows "F-P", then evaporator fan deferred activation will
be ongoing (parameter F8).
To exit the procedure:
• press
until the display shows the ongoing status value (see para-
graph 2.2), or leave for 15 s.
If the service controlled by relay K2 is defrosting (parameter u0 = 0),
labels "F-1", "F-0" and "F-P" will not be displayed.
2.5 Buzzer mute
• ensure no procedure is running
• press any key (the first key press does not trigger the associated effect).

3.6 Test to check correct pin probe insertion
Set-temperature cycles are preceded by a test step in order to check
correct pin probe insertion.
The test has two stages:
• if the outcome of the first stage is positive, the second will not be run
• if the outcome of the first stage is negative, the second will be run.
The outcome of the first stage is positive if "the temperature measured
by the pin probe - the temperature of the cabinet" is greater than the
value set by parameter rc at least 3 times out of 5 (the comparison is
made every 10 s); if parameter rc is set to 0, neither the first nor second
stages will be run.
The outcome of the second stage is positive if the difference "tempera-
ture measured by the pin probe - temperature of the cabinet" is greater
by at least 1ºC/1ºF (with respect to the previous comparison) at least 6
times out of 8 (the comparison is made every "rd/8 s").
If the outcome of the test is positive:
• the cycle will be activated.
the cycle will be activated:
• the cycle will be started in timed mode
• the LED
will flash.
If power is interrupted during the test, when power is restored, the test
will start again from the beginning.
