Setting up a regular or timed Defrost Off-Cycle
The controller enforces the following behavior:
• At power up, the initial Defrost Interval (dI) does not have a Defrost Cycle (dFt).
• Subsequent defrost intervals (dI) begin with the selected dFt value.
• All defrost intervals have the same length.
To set up a regular or timed defrost cycle:
1. Select a dI value between 2 hours and 24 hours.
Note: A dI value of 0 indicates no defrost interval.
2. Select a dFt value between 1 minute and 99 minutes. See Figure 9.

Control behavior when manually starting or stopping a Defrost
Off-Cycle
The controller enforces the following behavior:
• Manually start a Defrost Cycle. The control returns to normal On/Off operation after the defrost
cycle time (dFt) is complete.
• Manually stop a Defrost Cycle. The defrost cycle time (dFt) is terminated and the control is
returned to normal On/Off operation.
Manually starting and stopping a Defrost Cycle (SdF)
To manually Start/Stop a Defrost Cycle (SdF):
1. Select a Defrost Interval (dI) value of 0.
2. Select a dFt value between 1 minute and 99 minutes.
3. - Select an SdF parameter value of 1 during normal On/Off operation to start a defrost
cycle.
