Read these instructions carefully before installing and using the instru-
ment and follow all additional information for installation and electrical
connection; keep these instructions close to the instrument for future
consultations.

The instrument must be disposed according to the local
legislation about the collection for electrical and electronic
equipment.

1.2 Size and installation
Panel mounting, with click brackets (supplied by the builder); dimen-
sions in mm (in).

• 83.0 (3.267) is the maximum depth with extractable terminal blocks
• the panel thickness must not be higher than 8.0 mm (0.314 in)
• working conditions (working temperature, humidity, etc.) must be be-

tween the limits indicated in the technical data

• do not install the instrument close to heating sources (heaters, hot air

ducts, etc.), devices provided with big magnetos (big speakers, etc.),
locations subject to direct sunlight, rain, humidity, dust, mechanical
vibrations or bumps

• according to the safety legislation, the protection against electrical

parts must be ensured by a correct installation of the instrument; the
parts that ensure the protection must be installed so that you can not
remove them if not by using a tool.

1.3 Wiring diagram
With reference to the wiring diagrams:
• port 1 (by request) is the serial port for the communication with the

supervision system (through a serial interface, via TTL, with MODBUS
communication protocol) or with the programming key; the port must
not be used at the same time for the same purposes

• port 2 (by request) is the port for the communication with the remote

indicator; the indicator shows the quantity you have set with param-
eter P5.

Additional information for electrical connection:
• do not operate on the terminal blocks with electrical or pneumatic

screwers

• if the instrument has been moved from a cold location to a warm one,

the humidity could condense on the inside; wait about an hour be-
fore supplying it

• test the working power supply voltage, working electrical frequency

and working electrical power of the instrument; they must correspond
with the local power supply

• disconnect the local power supply before servicing the instrument
• do not use the instrument as safety device
• for repairs and information on the instrument please contact Evco

sales network.

USER INTERFACE

2.1 Preliminary information
There are the following operation status:
• status “on” (the instrument is supplied and is turned on: the regulators

can be turned on)

• status “stand-by” (the instrument is supplied but it is turned off via

software: the regulators are turned off)

• status “off” (the instrument is not supplied).
If parameter t0 has value 0, “turning on” means moving from status off
to status on; “turning off” means moving from status on to status off.
If parameter t0 has value 1, “turning on” means moving from status
stand-by to status on; “turning off” means moving from status on to
status stand-by.
After an interruption of power supply the instrument moves to the sta-
tus it was before the interruption.
2.2 Turning on/off the instrument if parameter t0 has

value 0

To turn on the instrument you have to supply it; to turn it off it is enough
to cut off the power supply.
2.3 Turning on/off the instrument if parameter t0 has

value 1

• make sure the keyboard is not locked and no procedure is running
• press

4 s.

2.4 The display
If the instrument is turned on, during the normal operation the display
will show the quantity you have set with parameter P5:
• if P5 = 0, the display will show the cabinet temperature
• if P5 = 1, the display will show the working setpoint
• if P5 = 2, the display will show the evaporator temperature
• if P5 = 3, the display will show “cabinet temperature - evaporator tem-

perature”.

2.5 Showing the cabinet temperature
• make sure the keyboard is not locked and no procedure is running
• press

2 s: the display will show the first available label

COMPRESSOR OR INSTRUMENT WORKING DAYS
COUNTING

4.1 Preliminary information
The instrument can store up to 1,999 compressor or instrument work-
ing days, after which the number 1,999 flashes.
If parameter t1 has value 0, the instrument will store the compressor
working days; if parameter t1 has value 1, the instrument will count its
working days (also when it is turned off via software).
When the number of working days gets the one you have set with
parameter t2, the display shows the label “SEr” flashing.

• a compressor protection will be running (parameters C0,

C1, C2 and i7)

LED defrost

if it is lit, an alarm will be running

°

C

LED Celsius degree
if it is lit, the unit of measure of the temperatures will be
Celsius degree (parameter P2)

°

F

LED Fahrenheit degree
if it is lit, the unit of measure of the temperatures will be
Fahrenheit degree (parameter P2)

CODE MEANING

SEr

service of compressor or of instrument is requested (param-
eter t2); also look at chapter 4

Loc

the keyboard and/or the working setpoint are locked (pa-
rameter r3); also look at paragraph 2.8

- - - -

the quantity to show is not available (for example because
the probe is not enabled)

6

ALARMS

6.1 Alarms

CODE MEANING

AL

Lower temperature alarm
Remedies:
• check the temperature joined to the alarm
• look at parameters A0, A1 and A2
Effects:
• no effect

AH

Upper temperature alarm
Remedies:
• check the cabinet temperature
• look at parameters A4 and A5
Effects:
• no effect

id

Door switch input alarm (only if parameter i0 has value 2 or
3)
Remedies:
• check the reasons that have provoked the activation of

the input

• look at parameters i0 and i1
Effects:
• the effect you have set with parameter i0

iA

Multipurpose input alarm (only if parameter i0 has value 0)
Remedies:
• check the reasons that have provoked the activation of

the input

• look at parameters i1 and i5
Effects:
• if parameter i5 has value 3, there will be no effect
• if parameter i5 has value 4, the compressor will be turned

off

iSd

Instrument locked alarm (only if parameter i0 has value 0)
Remedies:
• check the reasons that have provoked the activation of

the multipurpose input

• switch off/on the power supply of the instrument
• look at parameters i1, i5, i7, i8 and i9
Effects:
• the regulators will be turned off

When the cause that has provoked the alarm disappears, the instru-
ment restores the normal operation, except for the instrument locked
alarm (code “iSd”) that needs you switch off/on the power supply of
the instrument.
7

INTERNAL DIAGNOSTICS

7.1 Internal diagnostics

CODE MEANING

Pr1

Cabinet probe error
Remedies:
• look at parameter P0
• check the integrity of the probe
• check the connection instrument-probe
• check the cabinet temperature
Effects:
• the compressor activity will depend on parameters C4 and

C5

Pr2

Evaporator probe error
Remedies:
• the same you saw in the previous case but related to the

evaporator probe

Effects:
• if parameter P3 has value 1, the defrost will last the time

you will have set with parameter d3

• if parameter P3 has value 1 and parameter d8 has value 2,

the instrument will work as if parameter d8 had value 0

• if parameter F0 has value 3 or 4, the instrument will work

as if the parameter had value 2

When the cause that has provoked the alarm disappears, the instru-
ment restores the normal operation.
