The last option (available if “main control” = 1 to 18) requires the installation of
both probes S3 & S4, the rst pressure and the second temperature.
Note: if only one backup probe is tted, under the manufacture
parameters, the probe thresholds and alarm management can be set
separately.

For the wiring, see paragraph “General connection diagram”.
As already mentioned, the HITCond protection can only be enabled if the
controller measures the condensing pressure/temperature, and responds
moderately by closing the valve in the event where the condensing
temperature reaches excessive values, to prevent the compressor from
shutting down due to high pressure. The condensing pressure probe must be
connected to input S3.

The integration time is set automatically based on the type of main control.
Note:
• the protector is very useful in units with compressors on board if the air-
cooled condenser is undersized or dirty/malfunctioning in the more critical
operating conditions (high outside temperature);
• the protector has no purpose in multiplexed systems (showcases), where
the condensing pressure is maintained constant and the status of the
individual electronic valves does not aect the pressure value.
To reduce the condensing temperature, the output of the refrigeration
unit needs to be decreased. This can be done by controlled closing of the
electronic valve, implying superheat is no longer controlled, and an increase in
the superheat temperature. The protector will thus have a moderate reaction
that tends to limit the increase in the condensing temperature, keeping
it below the activation threshold while trying to stop the superheat from
increasing as much as possible. Normal operating conditions will not resume
based on the activation of the protector, but rather on the reduction in the
outside temperature. The system will therefore remain in the best operating
conditions (a little below the threshold) until the environmental conditions
change.

Note:
• the High Tcond threshold must be greater than the rated condensing
temperature of the unit and lower then the calibration of the high pressure
switch;
• the closing of the valve will be limited if this causes an excessive decrease
in the evaporation temperature.
Modulating thermostat
This function is used, by connecting a temperature probe to input S4, to
modulate the opening of the electronic valve so as to limit the lowering of
the temperature read and consequently reach the control set point. This is
useful in applications such as the multiplexed cabinets to avoid the typical
swings in air temperature due to the ON/OFF control (thermostatic) of the
solenoid valve. A temperature probe must be connected to input S4, located
in a similar position to the one used for the traditional temperature control
of the cabinet. In practice, the close the controlled temperature gets to the
set point, the more the control function decreases the cooling capacity of
the evaporator by closing the expansion valve. By correctly setting the related
parameters (see below), a very stable cabinet temperature can be achieved
around the set point, without ever closing the solenoid valve. The function is
dened by three parameters: set point, dierential and oset.

Tab. 13.k
The rst two should have values similar to those set on the controller for the
cabinet or utility whose temperature is being modulated.
The oset, on the other hand, denes the intensity in closing the valve as
the temperature decreases: the greater the oset, the more the valve will be
modulated. The function is only active in a temperature band between the set
point and the set point plus the dierential.
Important: the “Modulating thermostat” function should not be used
on stand-alone refrigeration units, but only in centralised systems. In fact, in
the former case closing the valve would cause a lowering of the pressure and
consequently shut down the compressor.
