5.9 Evaporator fans control
The control of the evaporator fans on the output configured as
Fn depends on some specific control statuses of the instrument
and the temperature measured by the evaporator probe (EP).
In the case that the evaporator probe is not used or in error,
the Fn output is activated only depending on parameters
Ftn, FtF and FFE.
Parameters Ftn and FtF can be used to determine the behavior
of the evaporator fans when the ot outupt (compressor) is OFF.
When ot output is OFF, it is possible to set the instrument so
that that the Fn output continues working in cycles according
to the times programmed at parameters Ftn (fan activation
time) and FtF (fan deactivation time).
When output ot is switched OFF the instrument activates the
output Fn for the time Ftn, then deactivates it for the time
FtF and so on whilst the otuput ot remains OFF.
Programming Ftn = oF the output Fn in ot OFF condition
remains switched OFF.
Programming instead Ftn to any value and FtF = oF the
output Fn when ot in OFF condition remains switched ON.
The parameter FFE decides whether the fans must always
be switched ON independently of the defrosting status
(FFE = on) or switched OFF during defrosting (FFE = oF).
In this later case, it is possible to delay the start up of the
fans even after the end of the defrost by the time set at FFd
parameter. When this delay is active the LED flashes to
point out that the FFd delay is in progress.
When the evaporator probe is used the fans, as well as be-
ing conditioned by the parameters Ftn, FtF and FFE, are
also conditioned by a temperature control.

Note: It is necessary to pay attention to the correct use of
this fans temperature control functions because in
the typical application of refrigeration the stop of the
evaporator fans stops also the thermal exchange.
Remember that the fans functioning can be conditioned by
the Door open function by the digital input.
5.10 Alarm functions
The alarm conditions of the instrument are:
– Probe errors E1, -E1, E2, -E2 and E3, -E3;
– Temperature alarms Hi and Lo;
– External alarm AL;
– Door open oP.
The alarm functions acts on LED , on the internal buzzer,
if present and configured by the obu parameter and on the
desired output if configured by parameters oo1, oo2 or oo3.
Any active alarm condition is signaled lighting up the LED ,
while the acknowledged alarm status is shown by flashing the
LED .
The buzzer (if present) can be configured to point out the alarms
by programming parameter obu = 1 or 3 and always acts
to signal an acknowlegeable alarm. This means that, when
activated, it can be switched OFF by briefly pressing any key.
Also outputs can operate to signal alarms as specified by
the output configuration parameters settings that follow. The
possible selections of output parameters for the alarm sig-
nalling function are:
At
When the output is to be activated in alarm condition
and can be deactivated manually by pressing any key of
the instrument (typical application for an acoustic signal);
AL When the output is to be activated in alarm condition
but cannot be deactivated manually; it is then deac-
tivated only when the alarm status ceases (typical
application for a light signal);
An When the output is to be activated in alarm condition
and that remains active even when the alarm sta-
tus has ceased (stored alarm). The disabling action
(recognition of a stored alarm) can only be carried out
manually by pressing any key only when the alarm
status has been removed.
-t Functions as the function described with At but with
inverse working logic (the output activated in normal
condition and disabled in alarm status).
-L This alarm function is similar to AL but with inverse
working logic (output active in normal conditions and
disabled in alarm status).
-n This alarm function is similar to An but with inverse
working logic (output active in normal conditions and
disabled in alarm status).
The instrument offers the possibility to have the alarm
memory function activated via the parameter AtA:
oF The instrument cancels the alarm signal when the
alarm status ends;
on The instrument maintains the flashing of LED also
when the alarm status ends.
To cancel the alarm
memory signal, press any key.
It must be remembered that if an output function is desired
with an alarm memory (oo1/oo2/oo3 = An/-n) it is necessary
to set the parameter AtA = on.
