EVCO EVK261 Digital Thermostat

Important

Read these instructions carefully before installing and using the instrument and follow all additional information for installation and electrical connection; keep these instructions close to the instrument for future consultations. The instrument must be disposed of according to the local legislation about the collection for electrical and electronic equipment.

Installing the instrument
Panel mounting, with click brackets (supplied by the builder); dimensions in mm (in).

Additional information for installation
  • 59.0 (2.322) is the maximum depth with screw terminal blocks
  • 83.0 (3.267) is the maximum depth with extractable terminal blocks
  • The panel thickness must not be higher than 8.0 mm (0.314 in)
  • Working conditions (working temperature, humidity, etc.) must be be-tween the limits indicated in the technical data
  • Do not install the instrument close to heating sources (heaters, hot air ducts, etc.), devices provided with big magnetos (big speakers, etc.), locations subject to direct sunlight, rain, humidity, dust, mechanical vibrations or bumps
  • According to the safety legislation, the protection against electrical parts must be ensured by a correct installation of the instrument; the parts that ensure the protection must be installed so that you can not remove them if not by using a tool.

Wiring diagram

With reference to the wiring diagrams:

  • Terminals 1 and 2 are available only in the models with power supply 230 VAC and 115 VAC; terminals 8 and 9 are available only in the models with power supply 12 VAC/DC and 12-24 VAC/DC
  • The function of the second input depends on parameter P4
  • Port 1 (by request) is the serial port for the communication with the supervision system (through a serial interface, via TTL, with MODBUS communication protocol) or with the programming key; the port must not be used at the same time for the same purposes
  • Port 2 (by request) is the port for the communication with the remote indicator; the indicator shows the quantity you have set with param-eter P5.

Additional information for electrical connection

  • Do not operate on the term. blocks with electrical or pneumatic screwers.
  • If the instrument has been moved from a cold location to a warm one, the humidity could condense on the inside; wait about an hour be-fore supplying it.
  • Test the working power supply voltage, working electrical frequency and working electrical power of the instrument; they must correspond with the local power supply.
  • Disconnect the local power supply before servicing the instrument.
  • Do not use the instrument as a safety device.

USER INTERFACE

Preliminary information

There is the following operation status.

  • status “on” (the instrument is supplied and is turned on: the regulators can be turned on)
  • status “stand-by” (the instrument is supplied but it is turned off via software: the regulators are turned off)
  • status “off” (the instrument is not supplied). If parameter t0 has value 0, “turning on” means moving from status off to status on; “turning off” means moving from status on to status off. If parameter t0 has value 1, “turning on” means moving from status stand-by to status on; “turning off” means moving from status on to status stand-by. After an interruption of power supply the instrument moves to the sta-tus it was before the interruption.

Turning on/off the instrument if parameter t0 has value 0

To turn on the instrument you have to supply it; to turn it off it is enough to cut off the power supply.

Turning on/off the instrument if parameter t0 has value 1

  • Make sure the keyboard is not locked and no procedure is running
  • Press set 4 s.

The display
If the instrument is turned on, during the normal operation the display
will show the quantity you have set with parameter P5:

  • if P5 = 0, the display will show the cabinet temperature
  • if P5 = 1, the display will show the working setpoint
  • if P5 = 2, the display will show the temperature read by the auxiliary probe (only if parameter P4 has value 1 or 2).

Silencing the buzzer

  • Make sure no procedure is running
  • Press a button (the first pressure of the button does not provoke its usual effect).

SETTINGS

Setting the working setpoint

Setting configuration parameters

Switch off/on the power supply of the instrument after the modification of the parameters.

Restoring the default value of configuration parameters

EVCO EVK261 Digital Thermostat fig 10

Make sure the default value of the parameters is appropriate.

COMPRESSOR OR INSTRUMENT WORKING DAYS COUNTING

Preliminary information

The instrument can store up to 1,999 compressor or instrument working days, after which the number 1,999 flashes. If parameter t1 has value 0, the instrument will store the compressor working days; if parameter t1 has value 1, the instrument will count its working days (also when it is turned off via software). When the number of working days gets the one you have set with parameter t2, the display shows the label “SEr” flashing. To freeze the signal “SEr” 1 h. press a button (the first pressure of the button does not provoke its usual effect).

  1. The unit of measure depends on parameter P2
  2. Set the parameters related to the regulators appropriately after the modification of the parameter P2
  3. If parameter C1 has value 0, the delay since the end of the cabinet probe error will however be 2 min
  4. The differential of the parameter is 2.0 °C/4 °F
  5. If (when you turn on the instrument) the condenser temperature is above the one you have set with parameter C7, parameter C8 will have no effect
  6. The instrument stores the count of the defrost interval every 30 min; the modification of parameter d0 has effect since the end of the previous defrost interval or since the activation of a defrost by hand
  7. The display restores the normal operation as soon as the defrost ends and the cabinet temperature falls below the one that has locked the display (or if a temperature alarm arises)
  8. If parameter P4 has value 0, 2 or 3, the instrument will work as if parameter d8 had value 0
  9. If parameter P4 has value 0 or 3, the instrument will work as if parameter had value 0
  10. During the defrost the temperature alarms are not enabled, on condition that they have arisen after the activation of the defrost
  11. During the activation of the door switch input the upper temperature alarm is not enabled, on condition that it has arisen after the activation of the input
  12. The compressor is turned off spent 10 s since the activation of the input
  13. The effect is not signalled
  14. Make sure the time you have set with parameter i7 is shorter than the one you have set with parameter i9
  15. Erase the working days after the modification of parameter t1
  16. The instrument counts the working days also when it is turned off via software.
