AKO 16523 Temperature Controller For Cold Rooms

Warnings

• Using the unit without observing the manufacturer’s instructions may alter the appliance’s safety requirements. Only probes supplied by AKO should be used for the unit to operate correctly. 2 -From -40 °C to +20 °C, if the NTC probe is extended to 1000 m with at least 0.5 mm cable, the maximum deviation will be 0.25 °C (Cable for probe extension ref. AKO-15586. Connect the welded wire fabric to earth at one end only).
• Only NTC probes supplied by AKO should be used for the appliance to operate correctly.
• It should be installed in a place protected from vibrations, water and corrosive gases, where the ambient temperature does not exceed the value indicated in the technical data.
• For the reading to be correct, the probe should be used in a place without heat influences apart from the temperature you want to measure or control.
• IP65 protection degree is only valid with the protection cover closed.
• IP65 protection degree is only valid if the cables enter the device using a tube for electric conductions + gland with IP65 or above. The size of the glands should be suitable for the diameter of the tube used.
• Do not spray the unit directly with high-pressure hoses, as this could cause damage.

IMPORTANT

• The AUXILIARY relays are programmable, and their operation depends on the configuration.
• The function of the digital inputs depends on the configuration.
• The recommended currents and powers are the maximum working currents and powers.

Wiring

Always disconnect the power supply to do the wiring. The probes and their cables should NEVER be installed in a conduit together with power, control or power supply cables.

For disconnection, the power supply circuit must be equipped with a switch of at least 2 A, 230 V, located near the device. The power supply cable will be H05VV-F or NYM 1×16/3. The section to be used will depend on the 2 local standard in force, but must never be less than 2.5 mm . 2 Cables for relay or contactor outputs should have a section of 2.5 mm , allow working temperatures equal to or over 70 °C and be installed with as few bends as possible. The 120/230 V~ wiring must be kept clear of any other external element. The wiring to be done depends on the type of installation. Use the appropriate diagram based on the option selected in the wizard. Check the available options on the attached diagram sheet. The AKO-16523D model has a contactor which allows for the connection of three-phase defrost resistors, threephase compressor or three-phase fans according to installation requirements. Check how to connect it in the attached diagram sheet.

Initial configuration

The first time the unit receives the power supply, it will enter into ASSISTANT mode.
The display will show the message flashing with 0.

• Step 1:
  • Select the most suitable InI option based on the type of installation to be carried out and press SET. The available options will be shown in the following table:

If options 2, 5, 7, 9 or 12 are chosen, check the configuration of parameter I11 according to the pressure switch type used. (See diagram included with the device).

• Step 2:
  • Use keys and to enter the desired Set Point value and press SET. The wizard has finished. The unit will begin to regulate the temperature. If this is not the first time you initiate the wizard, after completing the last step the display will show the message dFp (parameters per defect). You may choose between two options:
  • 0: Only changing the parameters which affect the wizard. The other parameters will remain the same.
  • 1: All parameters return to their factory setting except those which have been modified by the wizard.

ATTENTION: The wizard will not reactivate. To reactivate it, activate Stand-By mode by pressing the key for 3 seconds and wait until the unit completely halts regulation (The indicator will light up permanently) and press in this order the following keys (one after the other, not at the same time) , , SET.
WARNING: If the pump down function is active, a certain amount of time may elapse between starting the stand-by function and the controller stopping.

Configuration

Condensed programming menu

• Enables the rapid configuration of the most frequently-used parameters (SP, C1, d0, d1, d4, F3, A1 and A2).
• Press the SET key for 3 seconds to access it.

Extended programming menu

Use the extended programming menu to configure all of the unit’s parameters in order to adapt it to installation requirements. Press the SET key for 6 seconds to access it.

IMPORTANT: If the function of the password has been configured as a keypad block (b10=2), or as an access block to parameters (b10=1), you will be requested to enter the access code programmed in PAS when attempting to access either of the two functions. If the entered password is not correct, the unit will go back to showing the temperature.

IMPORTANT: Certain parameters or menus may not be visible depending on the configuration of the rest of the parameters.
