Defrost process example
Case controller UA M is configured as master. Case controller UA S is configured as slave. The synchronised
master / slave defrost process is initiated using the integral defrost timer:
The following must be noted for this example: The internal defrost signal is present over the entire safe defrost
time. However, the end of the defrost process generally depends on switching off the last defrost relay.
Further details about special features and limitations are explained in chapterSpecial features and
limitations.
The defrost relay is switched off when the defrost termination temperature of the respective zone is
reached. Cooling is only resumed when all the control zones of all the participating controllers have
completed the defrost or the safe defrost time has elapsed.
