ALARMS AND SIGNALS
BLINKED FUNCTIONING LED
If a LED blinks it means that the corresponding function is delayed by a
timed routine, by another procedure or inhibited by the digital input.
E0 BLINKS: faulty room sensor / E1 BLINKS: faulty defrost sensor
• Used sensor is not compatible with the control
• The sensor cable is interrupted or short circuited
• Faulty sensor: Take out the sensor from the control and verify the
resistance (NTC: 0°C=27K)
AI BLINKS: immediate external alarm
• Check the “Multifunction” input and the A4 parameter
Ad BLINKS: delayed external alarm
• Check the “Multifunction” input and the A4 and A7 parameters
LO BLINKS: low temperature alarm (temperature less than SET-POINT minus AL)
• Verify the AL, Ad and A0 parameters
The alarm disappears as soon as the temperature rises and ranges
within the selected limits
HI BLINKS: high temperature alarm (temperature higher than SET-POINT plus AH)
• Verify the AH, Ad and A0 parameters
The alarm disappears as soon as the temperature decreases and
ranges within the selected limits
EA, EB, EE: data acquisition failure; controller RESET
Set again the default parameters value:
• switch-OFF the control;
• press the PRG button while switching on the control;
• “-c-” is displayed;
• after few seconds the RESET phase begins and it is possible to change
the parameters; (*)
• if EE persists, press the
button until the error indication disappears.
(*) Re-setting the default values causes the loss of the modifications
relative to the working parameters.
Ed BLINKS: timeout defrost
• Verify the dt, dP and d4 parameters
• Verify defrost efficient
dF BLINKS: defrost currently ON
• It is not an alarm signal. It simply indicates a defrost cycle in progress.
It appears only if the parameter d6=0.
N.B. When cleaning the display use damp cloth and neutral detergent.
