6 Defrosting
Display during active defrost
During a defrost, the text "dEFr" (defrost) is
shown in place of the temperature value in the
standard level.
The text remains in the display in cold
locations with set values of > -15°C to
20 minutes and in cold locations with set
values of < -15°C to 30 minutes following the
end of defrost and draining time.

If several cold location controllers are connected via defrost synchronisation, the defrost operation
must be terminated for all, before the controllers switch back to cooling mode.
Timer-controlled defrost
Time-controlled defrost is only possible on operation in the BUS system. The time is transferred from
the Gateway to the controller.
6 defrost times are available, which can be set separately (P18 – P23). For these times to be effective,
the device must be programmed as MASTER via parameter P17 ("ON").
The required defrost times are deactivated by setting to '--:--'.
Synchronised defrost
To synchronise the defrosting of several controllers, they can be connected via terminals 8 and 9. A
maximum of 4 controllers can be coupled to each other.
Each device sends a signal to the terminals for the duration of its own defrost. If the Slave controller
detects that the Master controller is defrosting, it will start a defrost under the relevant conditions.
