6.1 Quick Access Menu Map
To access or navigate the quick access menu using the ;(short press) key while the controller is
displaying the temperature. For every touch, the next function in the list is displayed. To confirm, use the
/(short press) key.
6.2 Quick access keys map

functions:
1. DESCRIPTION
For frozen products, it automates the defrost processes according to the need of installation (smart
defrost). Its output relay directly controls compressors of up to 2HP and its defrost output has a current
capacity of 10A. The ambient temperature control has a normal setpoint and an economic setpoint,
apart from the fast freezing function and alarm functions indicating open door. It also features a digital
filter, intended to simulate a mass increase in the ambient sensor (S1), thus increasing its response time
(thermal inertia) and avoiding unnecessary drives of the compressor. It also includes a smart key, lock
system and a control functions shutdown mode.
Product complies with UL Inc. (United States and Canada) and NSF (United States).
2. APPLICATION
