Copy card
Upload (copy the parameters in the controller to copy card)
Use buttons to set parameters.

Insert copy card, press until the panel displays “up”
Remove copy card after 3 seconds and then power on the controller again.
Download (copy the parameters in copy card to the controller)
Insert copy card, press until the panel displays “do”.
Remove copy card and power on the controller again after 3 seconds.

Note: The display of “Er” indicates programming failure. Check whether the copy card is connected and repeat the above operation.
The display of “EP” indicates that the data in the copy card is not consistent with the controller model and programming fails. Please use correct copy card or upload data to the copy card again. Then repeat the above operation.
(*Please keep a stable power supply and effective connection of copy card in the process. Do not remove the copy card before completely finishing the operation.)

Control output

Refrigeration:

In normal status:
Refrigeration starts when cabinet temperature > temperature set-point + control hystersis (Hy), and delay time to prevent frequent start (AC) elapses.
Refrigeration stops when the cabinet temperature s temperature set-point.
Refrigeration starts when the controller is energized for the first time, output delay after being energized (od) elapses, cabinet temperature> temperature set-point + Hy.

In case of cabinet sensor fault:
Refrigeration/heating runs in cycle per the set start and stop time. Wherein,

• When Cy=0 and Cn=0, refrigeration stops.
• When Cy=0 and Cn#0, refrigeration stops.
• When Cn=0 and Cy#0, refrigeration starts.

Defrost:

1. id=0, defrost is disabled.

2. id#0, not in defrost status:

3. When evaporator sensor is enabled (P2=y), and the temperature of evaporator sensor > defrost stop temperature (dE), defrost cannot start.

4. When evaporator sensor is enabled (P2=y), and the temperature of evaporator sensor < defrost stop temperature (dE),or evaporator sensor is disabled (P2=n), defrost starts under any one of the following conditions:
   a. When defrost cycle (id) elapses, defrost starts.
   b. Press 2 seconds to start defrosting.
   Defrost delay (dd) elapses, defrost outputs.

5. During defrosting (defrost stops under any one of the following conditions):
   P2=y, and the temperature of evaporator sensor > defrost stop temperature (dE), defrost stops.
   When the Max defrost time (Md) elapses, defrost stops.

6. It starts dripping after defrost. Refrigeration is disabled in dripping time (dt), during which drips generated in defrost are drained. After dripping time elapses, refrigeration cycles.

Note: In defrost process, the panel displays:

• dF=rt: Cabinet temperature
• dF-it: Cabinet temperature when defrost starts
• dF=St: Temperature set-point
• dF=dF: dF

Fan

Fan running mode:

• FC=cn: Fan starts and stops simultaneously with refrigeration, and stops during defrost.
• FC=on: Fan keeps running, and stops during defrost.
• FC=cy: Fan starts and stops simultaneously with refrigeration, and runs during defrost.
• FC=oy: Fan keeps running.
  When FC=cn or on, fan can run again after fan start delay after defrost (Fd) elapses.
  If P2=y and the temperature of evaporator sensor > fan stop temperature (FS), fan stops.

Fault alarm
The panel displays “P1” or “P2” in case of sensor fault. After the fault is removed, alarm will automatically reset.

Over cabinet temperature limit alarm:
When cabinet temperature > upper alarm limit (AU), alarm delay (Ad) and alarm delay after startup (dA) elapse, the panel will display HA; when cabinet temperature< AU, alarm will be removed.
When cabinet temperature < lower alarm limit (AL), Ad and dA elapse, the panel will display LA; when cabinet temperature >AL,alarm will be removed.

Safety rules

Danger:

1. Do distinguish the ports of sensor lead, power line and relays. Please do not connect lines wrong. The relay cannot be overloaded.
2. Wiring requires disconnection of power supply first.

Warning:
The controller is forbidden to be used in water or too humid environment, high temperature, strong electromagnetic interference or strong corrosion environment.

Notice:

1. The power voltage must be in accordance with the voltage labeled on the controller. Please ensure the stability of power voltage.

2. Suggest to keep suitable distance between sensor lead and power line to avoid possible interference.

3. In installing evaporator sensor, the sensor should be placed closely to the copper pipe 5 cm to the evaporator inlet.
   Please ensure the sensor keeps good contact with the copper pipe.

4. Remove the sensor by slightly plugging out its end downwards.
