Functions
End defrost in advance due to high temperature
MPXone can terminate a defrost in advance if the value read by a configurable probe exceeds a certain maximum value. This is
especially useful in cases where the defrost probe has not been positioned correctly, thus preventing, above all for heater de-
frosts, the temperature inside the cabinet or cold room from reaching an excessively high value. If the defrost ends in advance,
the controller shows the corresponding signal (dEA) on the display, which will be cleared only when the next defrost ends
correctly.

At the end of the defrost, the dripping phase can be enabled (if dd>0), during which the solenoid valve is closed and the fans are
off. Subsequently, the post-dripping phase can be enabled (if Fd>0), during which control resumes and the fans operate based
on the setting of parameter Fpd. The type of display on user terminal and the remote display during the defrost can be selected
by setting parameter d6.
Notice: high temperature alarms can be disabled after defrosting by setting par. d8.

The heater defrost by time with temperature control (d0=4) activates the defrost output only if the evaporator temperature (Sd)
is less than the value of parameter dt1, and ends after the time defined by dP1. This function is useful for energy saving and to
prevent excessive temperatures on the evaporator.
