5. FUNCTIONS
5.1 Probes (analogue inputs)
The SmartCella platform controllers feature a maximum of 5 analogue
inputs, which are used for NTC, high temperature NTC (NTC Enhanced
Range) or PTC temperature sensors (see the note below). Probes S3, S4
and S5 can also be confi gured as digital inputs. Probe S1 is the control
probe and its function cannot be changed; the functions of probes S2, S3,
S4, S5 can be selected using parameters /A2, /A3, /A4, /A5. The probes can
be calibrated to adjust their readings. In particular, parameters /c1 to /c5
are used to increase or decrease the values read by the probes connected
to inputs S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 across the entire the range of measurement. For
the calibration procedure, see paragraph 3.5.

Assigning the functions of probes S2, S3, S4, S5
The controller, inside the cold room, can use the following probes:
• defrost, located on the evaporator, preferably where ice remains the
longest;
• condenser, used to protect the compressor against high pressure
when the condenser is off or the condenser fan is malfunctioning;
• frost protection, to activate the corresponding alarm.
Note:
• to confi gure probes 3, 4 and 5 as digital input 1, 2 and 3 respectively,
set parameters /A3 e /A4 and /A5 =0;
• if multiple probes have been confi gured with the same operating
mode, the controller will use the fi rst probe in increasing order with
that confi guration.

5.2 Digital inputs
Digital inputs DI1, DI2 and DI3 respectively can be enabled in the place
of probes S3, S4 and S5. Digital inputs 1, 2, 3 must fi rst be enabled (par. /
A3 and /A4 = 0) and then assigned to a specifi c function (par. A4, A5 and
A9). Finally, an external contact can be connected to the multifunction
input to activate various types of functions, such as alarms, curtain/door
switches, start defrost, etc. See the table below.
Important: to ensure unit safety in the event of serious alarms, the
unit must be fi tted with all the electromechanical safety devices needed
to guarantee correct operation..
Note: (applies to all settings of par. A4, A5 and A9): if 2 digital inputs
are confi gured in the same way, for example to enable defrost, the disable
event is generated when at least one of the inputs is open, while the
enable event is generated when at both inputs are closed.
