4. INSTALLATION 
4.1. Introduction 
The controller must be installed in a place where it is protected from extreme 
vibrations, impacts, water, corrosive gases, steam etc. and where temperature and 
humidity do not exceed the values given in the technical specification table (see 
page 6). The same instructions are also valid for the probes. 
 
4.2. Thermistor Probe 
The thermistor probe must be installed in a place where it is protected from direct 
airflow (i.e., away from fans or doors), so that the average temperature can be 
measured. 
 
4.3. Defrost Termination Probe 
The defrost termination probe must be installed in the coldest area between the 
evaporator fins, i.e., where the most ice will form, and not near the defrost heater or 
near the area that warms up first during defrosting, in order to avoid early 
termination of the defrost cycle. 
 
4.4. Electrical Wiring 
We would recommend protecting the controller power supply from electromagnetic 
disturbances, voltage peaks, etc. This can be easily done while wiring by following 
the instructions below: 
a)  separate the power supply cables of the compressor, motors, etc. from 
those of the controller; 
b)  keep the probe cables, the controller power supply cables, and the load 
power supply cables separate and sufficiently far away from each other, so 
they do not cross or form spirals. 
 
4.5. Applications in Critical Environments 
When used in particularly critical industrial environments the following precautions 
can also be useful: 
a)  use mains network filters to reduce disturbances at the controller power 
supply, as well as filters for the loads in order to attenuate disturbances at 
the controller relay outputs; 
b)  use screened probe cables connected to the grounding system, if the 
previous indications are not sufficient; 
c)  in the event of strong radio disturbances screen the entire device with a 
metallic screen and connect it the grounding system.
