Control LED (GREEN)

ON : compressor is running, unit is refrigerating.
Flashing : compressor is in start delay mode.
Control LED (GREEN)
ON : evaporator fan is running.
Flashing : evaporator fan is in start delay mode.
OFF : evaporator fan is off. Defrost is in course.
Control LED (YELLOW)
ON : Automatic or manual defrost is in course.
Alarm LED (RED)
ON : alarm has been activated because of a
malfunctioning sensor, or pressure switch
intervention, or cold room temperature exceeding
allowed tolerances.
OFF: Unit is operating normally.
DISPLAY : on connection to the mains it shows
OFF to indicate the condition of the unit. By
pressing ON/OFF key for 3 seconds the unit is
turned ON and the display shows the cold room
temperature. In programming mode the
parameters to be set are displayed; in alarm mode
the alarm code is displayed.
"SET" key : when pressed it lights up and allows
room temperature to be set. During programming
it is used to pass from a submenu to an upper
one.
"DOWN/ROOM LIGHT" key: in programming
mode or when setting room temperature it is used
to reduce the value displayed; otherwise it is used
to switch on/off the cold room light.
"SB.M./UP" key: in programming mode it is used
to increase the values displayed. If pressed for
more than 5 seconds it enables manual defrost to
be carried out.
"ON/OFF" key: when pressed for 3 seconds it
turns the unit on or off.
"Enter" key: it gives access to programming menu
and submenus. Access to the programming mode
requires the installator’s assistance and should be
effected only if necessary.

5. How to enter the parameter levels
 Level 1 parameters:

1. Press the ENTER key for 5 seconds.

2. The instrument will show the first parameter present in level 1.

3. Use the pushbuttons to scroll through the menu.

4. Press the SET key to access a folder.

 Level 2 parameters:

To access parameters in "Pr2" There are two possibilities:

Option 1:

1. Press the ENTER key for 5 seconds.

2. Use the pushbuttons to scroll through the menu.

3. Select the "Pr2" parameter and press SET.

4. You will see the "PAS" flashing followed by "0 - -" with a flashing 0.

5. Enter the password "321" using the keys.

6. Press SET to confirm.

Option 2:

1. Press the ENTER-key within 30 seconds after switching on the instrument.

Level 2 parameters should not be changed, they are unit related and critical for
the unit operation.

6. Changing parameter values

1. Enter the Programming mode.

2. Select the desired parameter.

3. Press the SET key to display its value.

4. Change it with the keys.

5. Press "SET" to store the new value and move to the parameter code next.

6. To exit: Press SET-key + UPPER-key, or wait 15s without pressing no key. +

NOTE: the new parameter value is stored even when you exit without pressing the SET-key.
