7.14 Wiring of the master-slave function for defrost synchronization
For defrost synchronization via wiring the auxiliary contactors of the master defrost relay are switched in parallel
and then routed as a 230 V signal to the slave's external defrost input (terminals D11/D12). The auxiliary
contactors of the slave controller are also connected in parallel and conducted back as a 230 V level to the
external defrost input of the master. This enables the software to determine whether defrosting is still taking
place in both case controllers.

Defrosting is terminated by the software not later than when the set safe defrost time expires. The
external clock must be wired as a passing contact as it only provides the start signal for the defrosting.
The shutdown is entirely managed by the participating controllers according to their safe defrost time.
