Installation and Operations Manual

Troubleshooting

The following table shows a number of situations that may occur on the various models.
The most frequent causes and corresponding checks are described:

Problem

Cause

Checks

the compressor does not start (signalled by
the compressor LED flashing)

• compressor delay set defrost post
• dripping in progress

parameters c0, c1 and c2 and dd

the temperature is over the set limits but
there is no alarm message and the buzzer, if
fitted, does not sound

alarm delay set

parameters Ad, c6, d8

alarm IA is signalled (multifunction input)
without actually being active

the multifunction input generates an alarm
when the contact opens

connection of the input and whether this is
closed in normal operation

the alarm connected to the multifunction
input is not detected

alarm delay set or parameter programming
error

1. if A4=1
2. the status of digital input A7

the defrost is not activated

defrost duration too short (dP)
interval between defrosts dI=0: in this case
the defrost is not activated

parameters dP and dI

the end defrost temperature is too low or
the evaporator temperature is too high

parameters dt and d/ (defrost probe)

the manual defrost is not activated and the
defrost LED flashes

compressor protection times set

parameter d9 (select d9=1)

the high temperature alarm is shown after a
defrost

the alarm delay after defrost is too short or
the alarm threshold is too low

parameters d8 and AH

the display remains frozen even after the
defrost

the ambient temperature has not yet
reached the set point or alternatively the
time d8 has not elapsed

wait or reduce d8

after modifying a parameter the controller
continues working with the old values

the instrument has not updated the old
value or alternatively the parameter setting
procedure has not been ended correctly by
pressing the SET button for 3 s

turn the instrument off and on again or
alternatively reprogram the parameters
correctly

the evaporator fan does not start 1.

1. a compressor and fan start delay has been

set

2. if F0=1 (fan managed by fan controller)

• the evaporator is “hot”: the evaporator

temperature can be read by selecting
parameter /d;

• dripping in progress;
• F1 (evaporator fan control set point) too

low.

• post-dripping delay set

3. if F0=0

• F2=1 and the compressor is off
• dripping in progress
• post-dripping in progress

1. parameter c0

2. parameters F0, F1, Fd, dd and d/

3. parameters F0, F2, dd and Fd
