VISUALIZATION DESCRIPTION

1. At power on the display visualizes the message “OFF”.

2. By pushing the button I the controller changes from the status OFF into RUN with
the visualization of the temperature detected.

3. The led DL1 shows the status of the compressor operation:

DL1 fixed = compressor is loading;
DL1 blinking = compressor is idling;
DL1 off = compressor in set or OFF status.
4. When the compressor reaches the stop pressure, the display visualizes the message “Set”.
5. In case of alarm, the pertinent led or code of the alarm lightens; in case of maintenance
required the relevant code lightens.
6. With compressor in OFF, pushing the button R/T for more than 3 sec. all the display digits
and the led lighten to check the correct functioning.
7. Visualization on the display both of the pressure and temperature:
visualization of the temperature in °C = 120°C
visualization of the temperature in °F = 130,0

User level

With compressor in OFF pushing the key 0 for 3 seconds the controller visualizes the parameter family
A-L concerning the alarm codes.

PARAMETERS SETTING

Parameters under Pin

With compressor in OFF, pushing the key 0 and subsequently the key (both pushed)
the controller enters in parameters setting with the visualization on the display of the message “Pin1”:
with the buttons and/or R/T set on the last figure the pin number (1÷3) and confirm by the button
I.
The display visualizes:
-with selection pin no.1, the last figure blinks and the next one to the last figure is fixed.
-with selection pin no.2, the last figure blinks and the following 2 figures are fixed.
-with selection pin no.3, the last figure blinks and the following 3 figures are fixed.

With the buttons and/or R/T set the first figure and confirm it by the button I,
the second figure starts to blink; set the following figures on the same way.
With the set of the last figure of the pin number set, pushing the button I the display
shows the first family of the parameters, “P-P”, concerning the pressure parameters.
If the pin number set is wrong the message visualized is “Pin”, blinking for 2 seconds and then the
compressor turns in OFF.
Assistance no.1 (pin level 1) = set 0 ÷ 99, default 22
Assistance no.2 (pin level 2) = set 0 ÷ 999, default 444
Factory (pin level 3) = set 0 ÷ 9999, default 6666

Attention:
in case of lost of the pin number, power on the compressor pushing the button for 5 seconds and
than all the led blink for 3 seconds advising that the default pin values of the
3 levels have been loaded.

Operations to select the parameters families and changing parameters

- By the buttons and/or R/T select the parameter family.

- By the button I confirm the selection and the display visualizes the code of
the first parameter.
- select the parameter code by the buttons and/or R/T.
- By the button I confirm the selection and the display visualizes the relevant set value.
- By the buttons and/or R/T change the value.
- By the button I confirm the modification and the display visualizes the code of the
parameter
- Pushing again the button I it turns back to the visualization of the parameter family.
After the visualization of the last family the controller automatically comes out from the setting phase
and the compressor goes in OFF; after 120 seconds the pin level is lost.
For security, after 120 seconds from the last pressure of a key the controller automatically goes out
from the setting phase storing the values modified.

NOTES ON OPERATION

Security time t5

By pushing the stop button 0, the compressor stops according the following procedures:

a) If the compressor is on Load phase, it changes into Idle phase for the time set on t5. During this time
the compressor restarts by the start button; when the timer t5 is over the compressor turns off with the
message “OFF”.

b) If the compressor is on Idle phase and the value of t4 is higher than t5, when t4 is over the
compressor turns off with the message “OFF”; if t4 is lower than t5, the timer t5 goes on and when it
is over the compressor turns off with the message “OFF”.

c) If the compressor is in “Set” status, it turns off with the message “OFF”.

d) When the compressor stops and the message “OFF” appears on the display, the timer t5 starts;
during this time if the start button is pushed, the message “OFF” starts blinking and the compressor
doesn’t start; it starts only when the timer t5 is over.
In case of compressor stops because of an alarm, the timer t5 starts; during this time if the alarm is reset
and the start button is pushed, the message “OFF” blinks and the compressor doesn’t start. When the
timer is over, the compressor will start.

Load solenoid valve operation (RL4)

a) t4 = 0 - fixed time
When the pressure reaches the stop set, RL4 turns off with the message “Set” on the display and the
timer t4 starts; when t4 is over, if the pressure is higher than the start set the compressor turns off;
during the timer counting if the pressure decreases under the start set, the load solenoid valve (RL4)
goes ON with visualization of the temperature on the display and the timer t4 is erased.

b) t4 = 1 - variable time
On the first start the compressor operates the cycle as to point a). On the next cycle the controller
counts how long the pressure takes from the stop set to the start set; if this time -tx- is higher than the
timer t4, on the following cycle the timer t4 will decrease of 1 minute and so on up to a minimum time
of 2 minutes.
When -tx- comes to be lower than t4 changed, the set value of t4 is loaded again.

Stopping procedures through the Start/Stop input (IN3)

When the Start/Stop input (IN3) is open the compressor stops according the following procedures:

a) If the pressure is between Start and Stop set, with the load solenoid valve (RL4) in ON and DL1
fixed (Load Running), the load solenoid valve (RL4) goes OFF for the timer t4 with the blinking
message “Stop”. When the timer is over, if the Start/Stop input (IN3) is still open the compressor turns
OFF with the message “Stop” fixed; during the timer t4 if the Start/Stop input (IN3) is closed, the
compressor turns back under the pressure switch control.

b) If the pressure is between Start and Stop set, with the load solenoid valve (RL4) in OFF and DL1
blinking (Idle Running), when the timer t4 is elapsed, the compressor stops with the message “StOP”
fixed.

c) If the compressor is in “SEt” status, the display visualizes the message “StOP” fixed.

Fan operation (RL5)

With the delta contactor activated (RL2) the fan contactor is operated (RL5) with the following
procedures:

a) screw temperature equal or higher than the parameter HT3 = RL5 ON

b) screw temperature lower than the parameter (HT3 - HT4) = RL5 OFF
