1. Switch to the main menu.
2.
Select the menu item Setup  Cooling.
3. Select one of the following options:
n With the [autom.] setting, the cooling unit is switched automati-
cally. When cooling capacity is required, the cooling unit switches
on.
n With [o], the cooling unit always remains switched o.
n With [on], the cooling unit is always switched on, even if no
cooling capacity is required.
4. Press the input button to confirm.
Under certain conditions, lengthy downtimes (several
minutes) of the cooling unit occur in devices without a heater
when in the [autom.] setting.
If the consumer load is extremely low, the cooling unit automatically switches
o as soon as the temperature is 2 K below the set point. On the other hand,
heat input from the pump and consuming unit means that the cooling unit
does not switch on until the set point is exceeded by 2 K.
The outflow temperature always moves ±2 K around the set point in this
so-called two-position control. A tighter control range causes the cooling
unit to switch on and switch o more frequently. This has negative impacts
on the service life of the refrigeration compressor.
A low consumer load can therefore result in the temperature stability of
±0.05 K or ±0.1 K not being achieved. The specified temperature stability is
always achieved if a heater is used.
On devices with a heater and the [autom.] setting, the cooling unit only
switches o if no cooling capacity is required.
