- Mounting: Secure the controller in a suitable location, ensuring adequate ventilation and protection from environmental elements. The unit typically mounts on a DIN rail or similar bracket.
- Wiring Connections:
Refer to the wiring diagrams below for correct connections. The controller features various terminals for power, sensors, and output controls (e.g., fan motor, compressor).
Figure 2: Controller with visible wiring terminals (example of 'Old used ones' variant). 
Figure 3: Controller with visible wiring terminals (example of 'New' variant). - Power Supply: Connect the main power supply to the designated terminals (usually marked L/N or +/-, depending on AC/DC).
- Sensor Inputs: Connect temperature sensors (e.g., NTC probes) to the 'Sensor' terminals. Ensure correct polarity if applicable.
- Output Controls: Connect controlled devices (e.g., fan motor, compressor, defrost heater) to the relay output terminals (e.g., DO1, DO2, etc.).
- Communication (if applicable): If the model supports communication, connect data lines to the appropriate ports.
- Initial Power-Up: After all connections are secure, apply power to the unit. The display should illuminate.
5. Operating Instructions
The controller features a digital display and several buttons for easy operation.
- Digital Display: Shows the current temperature, setpoint, or error codes.
- SET Button: Used to enter parameter setting mode or confirm selections.
- Up/Down Arrows: Used to navigate through menus, adjust setpoints, or change parameter values.
- Function Button (e.g., Fan/Defrost icon): May activate specific functions like manual defrost or fan control.
5.1 Basic Operation
- Viewing Current Temperature: The display typically shows the current temperature measured by the primary sensor.
- Adjusting Setpoint:
- Press the SET button once to display the current setpoint.
- Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the setpoint to the desired temperature.
- Press SET again to confirm and exit, or wait a few seconds for it to auto-save.
- Accessing Parameters:
- Press and hold the SET button for several seconds to enter the parameter menu.
- Use Up/Down arrows to scroll through parameters (e.g., differential, defrost cycle time).
- Press SET to view or edit a parameter's value.
- Use Up/Down arrows to change the value, then SET to confirm.
- Exit the parameter menu by pressing and holding SET again, or by waiting for a timeout.
Note: Specific parameter codes and their functions can vary. Refer to the full technical documentation for advanced configuration.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your controller.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the controller with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspections: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the controller is operating within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat.
- Sensor Check: Verify that temperature sensors are clean and properly positioned for accurate readings.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank | No power, loose connection, internal fault. | Check power supply. Verify wiring. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Incorrect temperature reading | Faulty sensor, sensor not properly installed, sensor wiring issue. | Check sensor connections. Inspect sensor for damage. Replace sensor if necessary. |
| Controller not activating outputs (e.g., fan, compressor) | Setpoint not met, parameter misconfiguration, faulty output relay, external device issue. | Verify setpoint and differential settings. Check output wiring. Test external device. |
| Error code displayed | Specific system fault (e.g., sensor error, high/low temperature alarm). | Consult the full technical manual for specific error code meanings and solutions. |
8. User Tips
- Parameter Backup: Before making significant changes to advanced parameters, note down the original settings.
- Stable Power: Ensure a stable power supply to the controller to prevent unexpected resets or malfunctions.
- Environmental Protection: While robust, protecting the controller from extreme dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations will extend its lifespan.
