3.2.1. Input configuration
Inputs from 1 to 4 are alarm inputs for the compressors and fans configured. If 5 devices are controlled by the unit, input no. 5 is automatically an alarm input (fan
alarm only).
The user can decide whether the alarm inputs are normally closed (the alarm condition exists when the contact is open) or normally open (the alarm condition
exists when the contact is closed) by setting parameter /14.
If 4 devices are connected to the controller, input 5 automatically becomes a multifunction input.
Parameter /15 can be used to configure the multifunction input:
• 0: no function
• 1: unit ON-OFF (ON contact NC)
• 2: change set point (set1- set2)
• 3: general high pressure switch NC
• 4: general high pressure switch 1 NO
• 5: general low pressure switch circuit 1 NC
• 6: general low pressure switch circuit 1 NO
• 7: general low pressure switch circuit 2 NC
• 8: general low pressure switch circuit 2NA
• 9: liquid level alarm NC
• 10: liquid level alarm NO
• 11: fan thermal overload/generic NC
• 12: fan thermal overload/generic NO
3.2.2. Unit ON/OFF
The controller is normally configured as always ON.
The unit can be switched on and off by:
1. Alarm (parameter A22 can be used to select whether or not a broken probe alarm should switch the unit off).
2. Supervisor (parameter /38 can be used to enable unit shutdown from the supervisor).
3. Digital input (parameter /15 can be used to configure the multifunction input as ON/OFF).
4. Parameter (parameter /39 can be used to switch the unit on or off)
Shutting down the unit, as shown on the display by the message “OFF”:
• switches the controller off
• stops the management of the various devices and the related alarms.
