in question.
1.2 Models
The easy and easy compact controllers dier as regards operation, and
the number inputs and outputs. easy split models feature a separate
terminal and power board. PQEZ* controllers are specically designed for
use in applications with ammable refrigerants.
P(J,Q)EZS(N, P)* controller and PJEZM(N,P)* thermometer only.
easy split models:
PJEZ*8**** controllers with one relay used for the light output.
Models and features
S models P(J,Q)EZS*
The ideal solution for the management of static refrigeration units (that is,
without fan on the evaporator), operating at normal temperature (above 0
°C). This model, in fact, performs the functions of thermometer, displaying
the temperature of the unit, and electronic thermostat, activating the
compressor (or the solenoid valve in the case of multiplexed units) so as
to maintain the required temperature. In addition, it features compressor
protection algorithms and automatic defrost function by shutting down
the compressor.
X and Y models P(J,Q)EZX*, P(J,Q)EZY*
These are designed for the management of static units operating at
low temperature (that is, below 0ºC), which require active defrost using
electric heaters or the injection of hot gas. The P(J,Q)EZ(Y,X)*, in fact,
as well as working as a thermometer and a thermostat (like the P(J,Q)
EZS), also manages the defrost actuator. The frequency and duration
of the defrost can be set. The end defrost can occur according to the
temperature reached (connecting a probe to the evaporator) or by time.
In addition these models feature two probe inputs, for the control probe
(room), the defrost probe, and a digital input (this can also be congured
as a probe). There are two outputs, for controlling the actuator (compressor
) and the defrost . Models P(J,Q)EZY and P(J,Q)EZX dier in that:
• P(J,Q)EZY has relays that are electrically connected together;
• P(J,Q)EZX has independent relays.
C models P(J,Q)EZC*
The most complete solution for low temperature ventilated units, with
three relays for complete control of the compressor, fan and defrost
functions. The three relays are included in the very compact case in the
versions with 230 V or 115 V power transformer, without compromising
the performance or reliability of the product.

All easy and easy compact models use PTC and NTC probes conforming
to the CAREL standard, with resistance values of 985Ω at 25°C for the
PTC, and 10 kΩ for the NTC. The type of probe installable depends on
the model (order code). The easy split models, on the other hand, only
use NTC and high temperature NTC probes (50 KΩ at 25°C), selected by
parameter. Below are some codes of the more common CAREL.

Avoid installing the boards in environments with the following
characteristics:
• relative humidity greater than 90% or where there is condensation;
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• exposure to continuous water sprays;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres(e.g.: sulphur and
ammonia fumes, saline mist, smoke) so as to avoid corrosion and/or
oxidation;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (there avoid
installing the units near transmitting antennae);
• near transmitting antennae and to the elements in general;
• large and rapid uctuations in the ambient temperature;
• environments where explosives or mixes of ammable gases are
present;
• exposure to dust (formation of corrosive patina with possible oxidation
and reduction of insulation.
To install easy, easy compact and easy split: make an opening in the panel
based on the drilling template, 71x29 mm.

Removing from the panel with brackets
• release the instrument by pressing both brackets where marked “push”
and sliding it back on the guides.
Warnings:
• the connection cables must guarantee insulation at least up to 90 °C;
• spade terminals with max. operating temperature at least 100°C
Panel installation from the front using screws (Fig. 2.c)
• the thickness of the fastening panel must not exceed 3 mm;
• remove the front frame and make sure that the two catches are in place
(these must not protrude from the outline of the drilling template). If
necessary, unscrew the two screws. Do not unscrew excessively, the
screws must not be detached from the front panel (phase 1);
• insert the instrument in the opening in the panel and hold it in position
by the centre of the front panel (phase 1);
• if the board is installed in an electrical panel with metal cabinet, allow
at least 10 mm distance between the cabinet and any point on the
board (rear, edges and assembly holes);
• the probe and digital input connections must be less than 10 m long,
adopt suitable measures to separate the cables for compliance with
immunity standards;
• suitably fasten the output connection cables to avoid contact with
extra low voltage components.
• using the screwdriver, tighten the bottom screw 90°, the catch must
come out of its slot and click onto the panel, then tighten until the front
panel is secure. Do not over-tighten, when the front panel is secured
blocks simply make another ½ turn to compress the gasket; If the catch
does not click onto the panel, unscrew the screw, applying pressure at
the same time with the screwdriver so that the catch moves back. Do
not unscrew too much, the head of the screw must not be raised from
the surface of the front panel (phase 2);
• the electrical connections must only be completed by a qualied
electrician;
• a power supply other than the type specied may seriously damage
the system;
• on easy split models supplied with plastic case, given the high
maximum power supply current (16 A), the unit may heat up: in this
case, make sure the maximum temperature allowed is not exceeded.
See the table of technical specications;
• separate as much as possible the probes and digital input signal
cables from the cables carrying inductive loads and power cables to
avoid possible electromagnetic disturbance. Never lay power cables
(including the electrical cables) and probe signal cables in the same
conduits. Do not install the probe cables in the immediate vicinity of
power devices (contactors, circuit breakers or similar);
• reduce the path of the probe and sensor cables as much as possible,
and avoid spiral paths that enclose power devices. The probes must
be connected using shielded cables (minimum cross-section of each
wire: 0.5 mm2);
• avoid direct contact with internal electronic components;
• connection errors (and connections other than those indicated in this
manual) may involve danger to the safety of the users and cause faults
on the instruments and the components connected;
• t the unit with all the electromechanical safety devices required to
guarantee correct operation and the complete safety of the user.
Information:
• the probes can be installed up to a maximum distance of 30 m from
the controller (10 m for easy split). To extend the distance of the probes,
use cables with a minimum cross-section of 1 mm², shielded where
possible. In this case, the shield must be connected to the common of
the probe. Do not earth the other end of the shield (the sensor end);
• only use IP67 probes as end defrost probes; place the probes with the
vertical bulb upwards, so as to assist the drainage of any condensate.
The thermistor temperature probes (NTC or PTC) have no polarity, so
the order of connection of the ends is not important;
• use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each
screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws. When the
operation is completed, slightly tug the cables to check they are
suciently tight.
The connections of the inputs and outputs, depending on the models,
may be made:
• using traditional screw terminals;
• using plug-in terminals with screw cable connection blocks;
• using plug-in terminals with crimped cable connection blocks.
• using plug-in terminals, which signicantly simplify the connection
of the instrument both during installation and maintenance. This also
avoids connection errors, as there are three connection blocks with a
dierent number of pins.
Connect the inputs and the outputs following the diagram shown on the
instrument label.
For the 12 Vac versions:
• if the power supply available is mains, a safety transformer is required
to ensure double insulation between the power supply and the very
low voltage electronics. If required, a fuse must be installed in series
with the primary (32 mAT for code TRA12VDE00). The transformerinstrument connection must be as short as possible;
• if the power supply available is already low voltage, but not 12 Vac,
a suitable adapting transformer must be used: double insulation
between the primary and secondary and denition for surge on the
primary to the appropriate level (2000 V for applications in industrial
environments.
• as double insulation cannot be guaranteed between the power supply
connectors and the relay outputs, only use loads powered at safety
extra low voltage (eective rating up to 42 V).
The voltage supplied to these terminals (see the wiring diagrams) must
correspond, within the specied tolerances, to the value shown on the
instrument connection label. The insulation of the instrument, for versions
with mains power supply (230 Vac and 115 Vac), is reinforced. The versions with
12 Vac/Vdc power supply, on the other hand, do not feature such insulation.
For easy split:
Refer to the following wiring diagram;
• power supply L, N, PE: use cables with a suitable cross-section for the
load (2.5 mm2 for current ratings up to 16 A and 4 mm2 for current
ratings up to 24 A);
• load connection: terminate with 6.3 mm female spade contacts, cable
cross-section 2.5 mm2 for current ratings up to 16 A;
• use:
– cables with max. operating temperature at least 90 °C
– spade terminals with max. operating temperature at least 100 °C
• internal jumpers for power supply to loads as per the previous point;
• probe and digital input connections with 0.5 to 1.5 mm
The RS485 converter (IROPZ485S0) is used to connect the easy, easy
compact and easy split instruments to the supervisor network, allowing
complete control and monitoring of the easy units connected.
The system allows:
- up to 207 easy units without RTC to be connected together.
- up to 30 easy units with RTC to be connected together.
Maximum length of 1000 m.
The connection requires the standard accessories (RS485-USB converter,
CAREL code CVSTDUMOR0) and two 120 Ω terminal resistors.
Connect the RS485 converter to the easy, easy compact or easy split
using a four-wire cable and make the connections as shown in the gure.
The line should be started and ended with a 120 Ω 1/4 W resistor. For
the allocation of the serial address see parameter H0. The recommended
connection cable is a twisted pair with shield and cross-section from 0.5
to 1.5 mm2 (AW6 22-24).

easy split:
The serial connection for the easy split models with 4 relays depends on
the setting of parameter H7, as the management of the fourth relay (RL4)
and serial communication are mutually exclusive.
The factory setting is H7=1, which means the fourth relay is enabled. To
enable connection to the supervisor network:
1. power down the controller;
2. disconnect the 4-wire cable from the rear of the display;
3. connect the display to converter code IROPZ485S0 and this to the
RS485 network;
4. power up the controller and set H7=0 and the network address for
parameter H0.
To restore the fourth relay output (RL4):
1. power down the controller;
2. disconnect converter code IROPZ485S0 from the rear of the display;
3. connect the 4-wire cable from the power board to the display;
4. power up the controller and set H7=1.
Warnings:
• the RS485 converter (IROPZ485S0) is sensitive to electrostatic
discharges, and therefore must be handled with extreme care;
• check the technical documents on the CAREL IROPZ485S0 option for
the description of the connection methods so as to avoid damaging
the instrument;
• suitably fasten the converter so as to avoid disconnections;
• perform the wiring with the power supply disconnected;
• keep the IROPZ485S0 serial option cables separate from the power

Once the electrical connections have been completed, simply power-up
the controller to make it operative.
CAREL then recommends to check that the display does not show any
alarm signals (see par. “5.1 Table of alarms and signals” on page 31), then
set the time and date (in the models tted with RTC, see par. “4.11 Clock
and time band parameters” page. 28), and nally set the parameters as
desired. The main parameters are as follows:

3.5 Functions available from the keypad
On and o
Switching the instrument ON: press UP for more than 3 s (when pressing
the button, the display shows ON).
Switching the instrument OFF: press UP for more than 3 s. The display
shows the message “OFF”, alternating with the temperature measured by
the set probe.
In o status, the following functions are disabled (if featured by the
model):
• compressor control / duty setting / continuous cycle;
• temperature display, alternating with the message “OFF”;
• parameter display and setting;
• alarms: “E0”, “E1”, “E2”;
• the internal timer relating to parameter ‘dI’ is updated. If ‘dI’ expires in
OFF status, a defrost is performed when restarting;
• auxiliary relay management, only in the following congurations:
– H1= = 1/2 (“E0” alarm only);
– H1= 3, A4= 6;
– H1=4 (easy split only).
Note: when exiting OFF status, the following settings are set to
zero (that is, are not saved prior to OFF): evaporator fan alarm
hysteresis and management (A0), temperature control hysteresis (rd), cht
pre-alarm hysteresis (AE). In addition, the delays are set to zero for the
display of the temperature alarms (Ad, d8, c6), dripping (dd) and postdripping (Fd).
Warnings:
• when rst connected, easy is already on and ready to be used;
• the instrument can be switched on from a supervisor PC and via an
external contact (setting A4= 5). The latter has priority over the other
modes.
Set point setting (desired temperature value)
The easy, easy compact and easy split devices control the desired
temperature (set point) inside the cabinet or cold room directly and
dynamically.
To view and modify the set point:
• press SET for 1 s, the set value will start ashing;
• increase or decrease the value using UP or DOWN;
• press SET to conrm the new value.
Important: the PJEZM* models tted with k eypad simply monitor
the deviation from the set point and where necessary signal an
alarm. On these models, the set point can only be modied using
parameter “St”.
Manual defrost
Not available on the easy thermometer (M) and easy compact models.
Press DOWN for more than 3 s (activated only if the temperature conditions
are right, for easy split only if the light output is not set, H1≠4). Alternatively,
on easy split models, if the light output is set (H1=4), the defrost can be
activated by pressing UP and DOWN together, when H6=1).
Continuous cycle
Not available on the easy thermometer (M) and easy compact models.
Press UP+DOWN for more than 3 s (activated only if the temperature
conditions are right and for easy split only when H6=0).
The continuous cycle is used to maintain refrigeration active in the cabinet
or cold room, regardless of the temperature inside the unit. This may be
useful for rapidly bringing the temperature below the set point value.
Light (easy split only)
As already mentioned, when a light output is congured (H1=4), the
DOWN button switches the light on/o, otherwise it starts/stops the
defrost.
Rapid display of the temperature read by the other
probes (only available for easy and easy compact
thermometer models - M)
Press the DOWN button to scroll the temperatures read by the probes.
Each time the DOWN button is pressed, the display will show the name
of the probe Pr1, Pr2 or Pr3 (only on the models with 3 inputs and with
multifunction input congured as a probe) and after 1 s the temperature
measured by the selected probe will be displayed.
To display the other probes, press DOWN again.
To return to the normal display, wait 3 s without pressing any buttons
(exit by timeout).
This chapter describes all the functions of the easy, easy compact and
easy split. See Table 1.b for the compatibility of the functions with the
model used.
Important:
the easy compact models only display two digits. In the range
below -99 and above 99, the terminal will display “- -”. The parameter
codes with 3 digits are converted as follows:

4.1 Temperature probe settings
Depending on the models, the easy and easy compact controllers feature
one or two analogue inputs. The easy controllers, in addition, also feature
a multifunction input (analogue or digital). All easy split models have
two analogue inputs and one multifunction input (analogue or digital).
After installation, the values measured by the temperature probes can be
corrected and stabilised using the following parameters.
/2: probe measurement stability
Coecient used to stabilise the temperature measured by the probes.
/2 acts as a “lter” on the minimum variations in the temperature
measurement, and at the same time calculates the average of the readings.
• low values assigned to /2 allow a prompt response of the sensor
to temperature variations (the reading becomes more sensitive to
disturbance);
• high values slow down the response, but guarantee greater immunity
to disturbance (more stable and more precise reading).
/3: probe display rate (easy split only)
This parameter is used to set the rate at which the temperature display
is updated. The temperature shown on the display tends to follow rapid
deviations away from the set point very slowly, and vice-versa, moves very
quickly in the event where the temperature displayed is approaching the
set point. If the control temperature exceeds the high or low temperature
thresholds and an AL or AH alarm is activated, the ltering is immediately
bypassed and the temperature displayed is the temperature eectively
measured, until all the alarms are reset. The action of parameter ‘/3’
only aects the temperature displayed, and not the temperature used
for the control functions. The update rate decreases as the value of the
parameter increases, from 1 to 15.
Parameter /3
Value0 = disabled
1 = fast update
…
15 = slow update
Table 4.c
Example: In the case of bottle coolers, typically used in supermarkets,
when the doors are opened frequently, due to the greater thermal inertia
of the liquids compared to the air, and the fact that the probe is positioned
in the air and not directly on the products, the instrument measures a
temperature that is higher than eective temperature of the soft drinks,
thus displaying a quite “unrealistic” temperature. Setting parameter ‘/3’ to
a value other than 0, any abrupt variations in temperature are “ltered”
on the display, showing a temperature trend that is “closer” to the actual
trend of the product temperature.
/C1/C2/C3: probe 1, 2, 3 oset
These parameters are used to correct the temperature measured by
the probes (/C1 probe 1, /C2 probe 2 and /C3 probe 3), with an oset in
tenths of a degree. The value assigned to this parameter is in fact added
to (/C1/C2/C2>0) or subtracted from (/C1/C2/C3<0) the temperature
measured by the related probe.
Important: parameter /C3 is not available on the easy compact
models.
/P: select type of probe (easy split only)
Used to select the type of probe used for the measurements:
/P=0 standard NTC: -50T90°C;
/P=1 high temperature NTC: -40T150°C.
4.2 Temperature display
The temperature displayed, the unit of measure and the decimal
resolution can be set according to the following parameters: /4, /5 and /6.
/4 : select probe displayed
Used to choose whether to display the temperature read by the control
probe (Probe 1), Probe 2 or the status of the multifunction input (analogue
or digital).
Digital input =0: contact closed.
Digital input =1: contact open.
Parameter /4 selects the probe shown on the display, all the other display
and control modes remain unchanged.
Important: the easy compact models can display up to 2 probes.
/5: select °C/°F
Denes the unit of measure used for temperature control.
/5=0 to work in °C
/5=1 to work in °F.
Warning:
• when changing from one unit of measure to the other, all the values
of the temperature parameters must be modied to the new unit of
measure.
• The max and min limits of the absolute temperature parameters are
the same for both °C that °F. The range of temperatures allowed is
therefore dierent between °C and °F:
/6: disable decimal point
Used to enable or disable the temperature display with the resolution to
the tenths of a degree between -20 and + 20 (easy and easy split) or -10
and +10 (easy compact).
/6= 0 temperature displayed to the tenth of a degree;
/6=1 temperature displayed without the tenths of a degree.
Note: the decimal point is only disabled in relation to the reading
shown on the display (the calculations performed by the controller
remain unchanged).
/7: enable probe 2 alarm (M models only)
In the thermometer models (M), tted with two probes, setting /7= 1
enables the alarm relating to the second probe (E1).
The following parameters are used to control the temperature: St, r1, r2,
r3, r4 and rd.
St: set point, r1 minimum value and r2 maximum value of the set
point
Parameter St determines the desired temperature to be maintained inside
the cabinet or cold room (set point). Parameters r1 (minimum value) and
r2 (maximum) set the range of temperatures for setting the set point.
Note: the set point can be set by pressing the SET button (see par.
“Setting the set point (desired temperature value)” page 16).
r3: select direct/reverse operation
Denes the operating mode of the device:
• r3=0: direct with defrost. Used to request the activation of the
compressor when the temperature measured by probe 1 rises above
the set point. This mode also includes defrost (also called “cooling”
mode, see Fig. 4.a)
• r3=1: direct without defrost (Fig. 4.a)
• r3=2: reverse without defrost (Fig. 4.a). Used to request the activation
of the compressor when the temperature measured by probe 1 falls
below the set point. This mode does NOT include defrost (also called
“heating” mode, see Fig. 4.a).

priority over parameter r3.

Important: the compressor can also be safeguarded using the
parameters that limit the number of activations/hour and the
minimum o time (see par. “4.6 Compressor protection” page 19).
4.4 Duty Setting
Safety function that ensures the operation of the compressor even in the
event of a control probe fault. If alarm E0 occurs, duty setting ensures the
operation of the compressor until the fault is resolved. The compressor,
not being able to be activated according to temperature, works cyclically
with an ON time equal to the value assigned to parameter c4 (in minutes)
and a xed OFF time of 15 minutes, see Fig. 4.b.
C4

at the moment a probe error (E0) is detected, the
duty setting cycle starts from the current status
of the compressor (that is, the status of the
compressor is maintained) and the time already
elapsed is ignored. The compressor times set by
parameters c1, c2, c3 are always observed.
Duty setting and defrost
If the control probe error occurs when the controller is in defrost mode,
the function is not stopped but rather is completed as required; in
addition, the defrost can still be performed when called. During the
defrost, the duty setting timer is not stopped but rather keeps counting
the ON and OFF times.

r4: night-time set point delta
Value that automatically increases the set point temperature during the
night-time operation time bands.
r4=0: night-time set point= St
r4>0: night-time set point= St + r4
Important:
1. to enable night-time operation, not only does r4 need to be set
>0, but the digital input must also be enabled and congured (see
parameter A4=4 curtain switch/night-time operation) or a night-time
time band enables (see par. “4.11 Clock and time band parameters”
page 28);
2. night-time operation does not necessarily mean at night, but rather
the time bands in which the value of the set point is modied. This
usually corresponds to the period in which the refrigerated cabinet is
not used (shop closed) and when the curtain is down.
rd Control dierential
Value that is added to (or subtracted from, in ‘reverse’ mode) the
temperature set point.
rd= low values:
• more precise temperature control;
• high compressor On/O switching frequency in the event of minimum
temperature deviations (with the risk of causing damage).
rd= high values:
• less precise temperature control;
• low compressor On/O switching frequency in the event of minimum
temperature deviations.
Duty setting and continuous cycle
If the continuous cycle is operating, the controller instantly exits this status
and activates duty setting (also for safety reasons, given that during the
continuous cycle the low temperature alarm is disabled). To re-activate
continuous cycle operation, the ambient probe fault must be resolved.
If the probe error is no longer present, the unit returns to normal
operation. The compressor again takes on the logic of the control,
respecting the times c1, c2, c3.
4.5 Continuous cycle
The continuous cycle is used to maintain refrigeration continuously
active, regardless of the temperature inside the unit. The function is used
to rapidly lower the product temperature, even below the set point, for
example after lling the cabinets. In this phase, the temperature may fall
below the set point. To activate or deactivate the continuous cycle from
the keypad, see paragraph 3.5, the display shows “cc” and the icon
ashes (2 ashes, pause).
cc: continuous cycle duration
This represents the time in hours that the compressor operates
continuously for so as to lower the temperature, even below the set
point. If cc=0 the continuous cycle is not activated. The controller exits
the continuous cycle procedure after the time set for parameter “cc” has
expired, or when reaching the minimum temperature (see the minimum
temperature alarm, parameter AL).
c6: temperature alarm bypass after continuous cycle
This is the time in hours during which all the temperature alarms
are deactivated after a continuous cycle. If the temperature of the
refrigerated unit, after the continuous cycle, lowers due to inertia below
the minimum temperature threshold (set point-AL), the activation of
the low temperature alarm is delayed for the time c6. In any case, the
continuous cycle is deactivated at the temperature (set point-AL).
4.6 Compressor protection
The easy, easy compact and easy split controllers are tted with an
automatic compressor protection system to avoid continual starts or
stops of the unit. The protection is based on the times in minutes set for
parameters c0; c1; c2; c3:
c0 compressor and fan start delay on power-up
When the controller is powered-up, this delays the start of the compressor
and the evaporator fan (see Fig. 4.c).
c1 minimum time between consecutive compressor starts
Delay between two consecutive starts of the compressor (see Fig. 4.d).
Note:
• if the maximum number of starts/hour allowed is 10, simply set c1=6
to ensure this limit is observed.
• as well as c1, also remember that parameter “dd” (dripping time) stops
the compressor and the evaporator fan after a defrost..
c2/c3 minimum compressor o/on time
These determine the minimum o time (c2) and on time (c3) for the
compressor. The compressor will not be controlled until times c2 and c3
have elapsed (see Figs. 4.e and 4.f).

c11: second compressor delay (easy split only)
This parameter determines the delay in the activation of the second
compressor compared to the main compressor. The parameter has no eect
on the deactivation of the compressor.
Important: select the auxiliary output as the second compressor
output in parallel (H1 = 5), second compressor with two step control,
without rotation (H1 = 6) or second compressor with two step control, with
rotation (H1=7).
4.7 Defrost
For the correct and safe use of the easy, easy compact and easy split
controllers, it is essential to program defrost cycles.
Type of defrost (parameter d0):
The defrost may be performed by stopping the compressor, heater or
hot gas.
In addition, it can be managed:
• by temperature: using the defrost probe located on the evaporator. In
any case, the defrost will end after a maximum settable safety duration.
The end defrost for maximum duration alarm “Ed” (parameter A8) can
be disabled.
• by time: when there is no defrost probe.
• by time with temperature control (heater only); for a programmable
time: the defrost output is only activated when the temperature is
below the end defrost threshold, guaranteeing energy saving and
defrosting of the evaporator even in more extreme situations (see Fig.
1 defrost call;
2 defrost temperature probe;
3 defrost heater.
d0type of defrosttype of end defrost
0heater by temperature
1hot gas
2heater by time
3hot gas
4heater with temperature control
Table 4.e
Important: on the easy and easy compact models and the easy
models without defrost relay, defrost can only be performed by
stopping the compressor. In these cases, the defrost may be managed by
time (recommended d0=2) or temperature (if the defrost probe is
present, recommended d0=0).
• from the keypad pressing the DOWN button for 3 s (manual defrost)
(for easy split H1 must be ≠4. If H1=4 the UP and DOWN buttons can
be pressed together, when H6=1);
• by digital input (in the models where tted, setting parameter A4=3);
• from the supervisor;
• setting the time bands (if RTC available /enabled);
• at the end of the interval between two defrosts (parameter dI>0);
• when switching the instrument on (parameter d4=1).
Important: the easy compact models, not having the RTC nor
the digital input, cannot be set with defrost time bands and
cannot be connected to an external contact for defrost management.
The defrost may be called, but not activated, in the following cases:
• continuous cycle;
• dripping (dd>0);
• post-dripping ( Fd>0);
• compressor protectors;
• o status;
• disabling from digital input(A4=2);
• setting the time delay (d5>0) for the defrost function when the
instrument is switched on (d4=1);
• direct control mode only without defrost (r3=1) or reverse (r3=2) (in
this case the defrost is not called);
• defrost by temperature (d0=0, 1) and temperature measured by the
defrost probe above the end defrost set point (dt).
The defrost ends correctly:
• at the end of the pre-set time (see parameter “dP”);
• once having reached the set temperature (dt).
When the defrost ends correctly, the dripping (equal to the time set for
parameter dd) and post-dripping (parameter Fd) phases start.
The defrost ends early:
• from the keypad, pressing the DOWN button for 3 s (manual end
defrost, for easy split H1 must be ≠4 or pressing UP+DOWN together
3 s when H6=1);
• due to an immediate external alarm “IA” ;
• due to a dirty condenser alarm “CHt”;
• by setting direct mode only without defrost (r3=1) or reverse (r3=2);
• switching o;
• when requested from the supervisor;
• from digital input (see parameter A4=2) (the defrost call remains
pending).
In these cases, the early end of the defrost is not followed by dripping
and post-dripping.
Important:
• the defrost is only available in direct mode, that is, when parameters
r3=0 or A4=9 (the latter has priority over r3);
• using parameter d0, and according to the model available, type of
defrost to be activated can be selected;
• the defrost has priority over normal temperature control; it may also
have priority over the compressor protectors (see parameter d9);
• during the defrost, the temperature display can be frozen (see
parameter d6);
• the continuous cycle has priority over the defrost
Parameters for conguring the defrost
dI: interval between defrosts
The defrost is performed periodically at a frequency of every “dI” (in hours
or minutes, see parameter dC).
The interval starts counting from the start of the current defrost. If the
time is equal to 0 (dI=0), the defrost is not performed, except when
activated from the keypad, by digital input, from the supervisor or by
time band.
During defrosts the temperature alarms are inhibited.
dt: end defrost temperature set point/defrost temperature threshold
with temp. control
For the models tted with end defrost probe, this parameter allows an
evaporator temperature to be set at which the defrost is stopped (the
evaporator temperature is measured by the defrost probe). The end
defrost temperature dierential is xed at 1° C (defrost with temperature
control, d0= 4).
If at the start of a defrost cycle with the controlled output by temperature
(d0=0, 1) the temperature measured by the probe is greater than the
value set for “dt”, the defrost is not performed.
In the event of defrost probe failure, the controller performs a timed
defrost with a duration equal to the value set for “dP”. The same is true if
the end defrost set point can not be reached, the defrost is stopped after
a maximum time equal to the value of dP, and the error Ed is displayed
(if enabled by A8) and stays on until a correct defrost cycle is performed.
dP: maximum defrost duration
Determines the maximum duration of the defrost (in minutes or seconds,
see parameter dC). When defrost by time is set (d0= 2/3/4) dP represents
the eective duration of the defrost.
d4: defrost when switching the instrument on
Starts a defrost when switching the instrument on (d4= 1). This has
priority over the activation of the compressor and the continuous cycle.
Running a defrost when switching the instrument on may be useful in
special situations (e.g. frequent power failures).
Case 1: the system is subject to frequent power failures
In the event of power failures the instrument’s internal clock, which calculates
the interval between two defrosts, starting from zero, is reset. If the frequency
of the power failure were, in an extreme case, greater than the defrost
frequency (e.g. a power failure every 8 hours against a defrost every 10
hours), the controller would never perform a defrost. In this type of situation
it is better to activate the defrost when the unit is turned on (d4=1), above
all if the defrost is controlled by temperature (probe on the evaporator), so
unnecessary defrosts are avoided or at least reduced in duration.
Case 2: Systems with many refrigeration units
In this situation, if the defrost on power-up is activated (d4= 1) after a
power failure all the units will start a defrost. This may cause overloads.
To avoid this, parameter “d5” can be exploited, which allows a delay to be
set before the defrost starts, a delay which obviously must be dierent
for each unit.

d5: defrost delay on power-up or when enabled by digital input
Represents the time which must elapse between when the controller is
turned on and the start of the defrost.
The digital input can be used to start a defrost from external contact (see
parameter A4=3); d5 represents the delay between when the defrost is
enabled, or called, and when it eectively starts. The defrost from digital
input can be exploited to perform defrosts in real time when is the RTC
option is not tted. Simply connect a timer to the multifunction digital
input.
The defrost will be activated when the timer contact is closed. In the case
where more than unit is connected to the same timer, it is recommended
to set parameter d5 to delay the defrosts to a dierent time for each
unit. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary defrosts controlled by the
instrument’s internal clock, it is suggested to set parameter dI=0 (only
manual defrosts from the keypad or multifunction contact) or to set dI to
a value which is greater than the maximum set interval.

Table 4.f
d6: freeze control temperature display during defrost
This function locks the display of the ambient temperature during the
defrost cycle at the last value read before the current defrost (d6= 1).
d6= 0 display the message “dF” alternating with the temperature
measured by the control probe;
d6= 1 freeze the display on the last temperature measured before the
defrost.
The display normally returns when the measurement rst reaches the
set point or, in any case, after the set alarm bypass time after defrost
(parameter d8).
The freeze mode is also valid for the display of the second and third
probe, if enabled (parameter /4).
dd: dripping time
This parameter forces the compressor and the evaporator fans o after a
defrost, in order to allow the evaporator to drip.
The value of this parameter indicates the number of minutes the
compressor and fan are o. If dd = 0 no dripping is set, therefore at end
defrost the compressor starts immediately.
The parameter dC=1 can be useful to:
• test the operation of the defrost function with reduced times;
• manage air driers. The defrost cycle thus becomes the condensate
drain cycle, which must occur at close intervals (minutes) and for very
brief durations (seconds).
Important: this parameter should not be used (dC= 1) if the
defrost requires the activation of the compressor (hot gas) and
when d9=1, as otherwise the compressor may be damaged due to a
number high of consecutive starts.
4.8 Alarm parameters
The alarms can be set as regards the threshold, type and activation delays.
When an alarm occurs, the unit may stop normal operation and warn that
the alarm situation has occurred, based on the type of alarm.
A0: alarm and fan temperature dierential
This represents the dierential used to activate the high and low
temperature alarms (“AH”, “AL”) and for the management of the fan.
In the event of an alarm, as seen in the gure, the value of “A0” determines
the actual activation of the temperature alarms.
The value of “A0” (negative or positive) denes the nature of alarms “AL”
and “AH” (absolute or relative, respectively), in detail:
A0≤ 0 AL and AH expressed as absolutes
A0> 0 AL and AH expressed relative to the set point (St or St + r4 in

d8: alarm bypass time after defrost
The parameter has two eects:
1. it delays the temperature alarm signal after a defrost;
2. it delays the temperature alarm signal after opening the door. In this
case, it is only active when A7=0.
d9: defrost priority over compressor protectors
Cancels the compressor protection times (c0, c1, c2, c3) at the start of the
defrost. The possible values are:
d9= 0 protection times observed;
d9= 1 protection times ignored; the defrost has higher priority and
the compressor times are not observed.
It is useful, for example, with hot gas defrost to avoid delaying the
defrost in the case where the compressor has just stopped and there is a
minimum time between two starts. Remember, however, that in this case
the maximum number of activations per hour of the compressor may
not be respected.
d/: defrost probe reading
Used to display the value measured by the defrost probe on the
instruments where this is tted.
dC: time base

parameters dI (defrost interval) and dP (defrost duration).

AL: absolute or relative temperature for low temperature alarm
Determines the activation threshold of the low temperature alarm.
Note: the low and high temperature alarms are automatically
reset - this means that if the temperature returns within the
allowed range, the alarm signal is automatically cancelled. During a high
or low temperature alarm, the message “HI” or “LO”, respectively, ashes on
the display alternating with the temperature; if tted, the buzzer is
activated.
Indicates after how many minutes the temperature alarm is signalled from
when it is detected. If the temperature, after the delay Ad, is within the
allowed limits, the alarm is not signalled. Setting a delay to signal of the
temperature alarms may help eliminate false alarms due to interference
on the probe signal or situations lasting a short time (for example,
opening the cold room door briey). The temperature alarm delay has
no eect on two special functions: defrost and continuous cycle. To delay
any temperature alarms after these functions, parameter d8 for defrost
and c6 for continuous cycle must be modied. Remember that during
defrost and continuous cycle no temperature alarms are generated.
Def.: Ad=0 (instant temperature alarm).
A4: 3rd input conguration (easy compact)
The multifunction input is only available on the easy models with three
inputs; is not available on the easy compact models.
This parameter is used to set the functions of the input.
easy, easy compact
A4 Meaning
0Input not active
1External alarm: instant (A7= 0) or delayed (A7>0)
If the external alarm is detected during a defrost or a continuous cycle,
the controller stops these (without completing dripping and postdripping for defrosts). When the alarm ceases, the unit resumes normal
operation, and then:
• the continuous cycle (cc) can be performed again;
• defrosts can be performed;
• the compressor will start after the time set for parameter c2 (minimum
compressor o time.
A4=2 Enable defrost
contact open= not enabled
contact closed= enabled.
When A4=2 easy can be connected to an external contact for enabling
the defrost; this will then be activated only if the contact is closed and
after the delay set for parameter d5.
If the contact is closed when a defrost in progress, the defrost is immediately
stopped and the unit resumes normal operation (without performing the
dripping or post-dripping phases). The LED starts ashing indicating
that the defrost call is still pending, awaiting enabling (closing of the
contact), when the defrost restarts (the timer dP is set to zero).
A4=3 Start defrost on closing
The defrost call is generated when the digital input switches from open
to closed.
When A4=3 easy can be connected to an external contact for starting
the defrost when the contact closes. Setting dI=0 (no interval between
two defrosts) and without any time bands enabled, closing the external
contact will immediately start the defrost.
This function is useful for running timed defrosts without the RTC on
board (used to set the defrost time bands). To do this, simply connect
a mechanical or electronic timer to the digital input and set A4=3 to
guarantee the defrost cycles.
A series of units can be connected to the same timer. In this case, to
prevent all the defrosts from starting at the same time, set parameter d5
to dierent times for each unit connected (see Fig. 4.k).
In models PJEZM* this is used to select the probe whose value is displayed
by the instrument:
contact open= probe 1
contact closed= probe 2.

The activation of the alarm brings about a message on the display ((see

When A4=4 easy can be connected to an external contact for managing
the opening and the closing of the curtain on the refrigerated cabinet
and activating night-time operation.
1. when the contact is closed the temperature set point becomes the
night-time setting and consequently the value of “st” is increased
(“direct” mode) or decreased (“reverse” mode) by the value of r4;
2. night-time operation does not necessarily mean at night, but rather
the time bands in which the value of the set point is modied. This
usually corresponds to the period in which the refrigerated cabinet is
not used (shop closed) and when the curtain is down.

A4= 10 Probe for dirty condenser alarm
Multifunction analogue alarm input and dirty condenser pre-alarm, using
the third probe.
To enable this function, set:
1. third probe;
2. parameter Ac: temperature set point above which easy signals the
dirty condenser alarm;
3. parameter AE: temperature dierential that, together with Ac,
determines the dirty condenser pre-alarm;
4. parameter Acd: dirty condenser alarm signal delay;
5. parameter A4=10: enable the probe and dirty condenser alarm.
“cht” dirty condenser pre-alarm:
• indicates that the limit between Ac and AE has been exceeded
(deriving from the calculation: Ac-AE/2, see Fig. 4.l);
• easy continues normal operation;
• automatic reset (if the temperature measured by probe 3 falls below
Ac-AE);
• “cht” is shown on the display, alternating with the current temperature.
“CHt” dirty condenser alarm:
• indicates that the temperature set point Ac has been exceeded (see
Fig. 4.l);
• the delay time Acd has elapsed;
• easy stops all functions;
• the buzzer sounds (to mute this, press SET or to disable deactivate set
H4=1);
• “CHt” is shown on the display, alternating with “cht” and the current
temperature.
Important: the “CHt” alarm (see par. “5.1 Table of alarms and
signals” on page 31) can only be reset manually, or alternatively by
switching the controller o, pressing UP for 3 s or powering down (on
power-up, if the temperature is still above the “Ac”, the alarm will go o
again).

Other alarm parameters
A7: digital input alarm delay
Sets the delay (in minutes) for detecting the external alarm when A4= 1,
7 or 8. For easy split A4 must be =1,7,8,10,11.
A8: enable alarm “Ed” (end defrost by timeout)
The alarm ‘Ed’ signals the end defrost due to the “maximum defrost time”
(dP) being reached. This can be disabled, by setting A8=0.
The signal “Ed” disappears when the next defrost is called.
Ac: Dirty condenser alarm set point
Sets the temperature set point above which the dirty condenser alarm
“CHt” is signalled (see parameter A4=10 for easy, easy compact and
A4=13 for easy split).
AE: Dirty condenser alarm dierential temperature
Sets the temperature value for determining the dirty condenser prealarm “cht” interval (see parameter A4=10 for easy, easy compact and
A4=13 for easy split).
Acd: dirty condenser alarm delay
Sets the delay in minutes before activating the dirty condenser alarm
“CHt”’ (see par. A4=10 for easy, easy compact and A4=13 for easy split).
4.9 Door open/closed management
Procedure for setting the digital input:
1. make sure that the cold room door is tted with a contact for signalling
when the door is opened and closed;
2. establish the time required (parameters: A7 time in minutes or d8
in hours ≠0) to enable the pre-alarm on the display and to stop the
evaporator fan;
3. enable the digital input A4=7, 8. For easy split A4 must be =7,8,10,11.
When the door is opened, the controller will start counting the prealarm time if A7 or d8 are other than zero. If, on the other hand, A7=0
and d8=0 the alarm will be activated immediately and the display will
show “dor” alternating with the temperature reading. The alarm can only
be reset when the door is closed, or alternatively when switching o the
controller by pressing UP for 3 s (on power-up, if the door is still open, the
pre-alarm time will start counting again).
A4=10: Door switch with evaporator fan o and light managed
See paragraph 4.9 “Door open/closed management”.
A4=11: Door switch with evaporator fan and comp. o and light managed
See paragraph 4.9 “Door open/closed management”.
A4=12: Select EASY SET from digital input
Used to select the set of control parameters control according to the status
of the digital input.
Digital input open = easy set 1
Digital input closed = easy set 2
The easy set from digital input has higher priority than parameter EZY; this
means that any attempt to change the easy set using parameter EZY is
ignored if A4 = 12.

Table 4.p
Important: setting A7=0 and d8=0 ignores the pre-alarm times,
the display will show “dor” alternating with the temperature and
the fan will not stop.
Special cases:
• continuous cycle: performed normally, however the evaporator fan is
stopped based on the times set for A7;
• defrost: performed normally and the activation of the fan is controlled
using parameter F3 (evaporator fan status during defrost). If F3=1 the
digital input will only signal the opening of the door, without having
any eect on the fan.
Easy and easy compact
During the pre-alarm (A7 or d8≠0):
• the fan is stopped;
• the LEDs and temperature display ash (excluding the compressor
LED, if on);
• the high temperature alarms are disabled.
During the “dor” alarm (at the end of the pre-alarm A7 or d8):
• the fan resumes normal operation;
• the display will show “dor” alternating with the temperature;
• the high temperature alarms are enabled;
• the buzzer sounds (to mute this, press SET or to disable set H4=1);
• if the auxiliary AUX output is “linked” to the digital input (H1=3) the
Example: Setting A4=7 and A7=10 on a cold room with door contact,
when the door is opened, the LED and the temperature will ash on the
display for 10 minutes (excluding the compressor LED) and the fan will
stop. After 10 minutes, if the door is still open, the fan will resume normal
operation and the display will show the “dor” signal alternating with the
temperature value displayed.
Easy split
In easy split models the algorithm for managing the door depends on
the type of unit selected, according to parameter Ado, and the setting
of parameter A4.
Ado = 0: display case
Opening the door:
When opening the door, if parameter A7 or d8 ≠0, the controller goes
into pre-alarm status:
• the temperature displayed and the alarm icon (bell) ash;
• the high temperature alarm is disabled;
• if A4=7, 10 the fan is stopped;
• if A4=8, 11 the fan and the compressor are stopped;
• if A4=10, 11 and if the light output is congured (H1=4), the light is on.
If the door remains open for a time greater than A7, the controller goes
into alarm status:
• the temperature displayed ashes alternating with ‘dor’;
• the buzzer is activated;
• the light remains on if an output is congured as the light output
(H1=4);
• the high temperature alarm is enabled, after the delay Ad;
• the auxiliary relay is activated if H1 = 3;
• the fan is ON;
• if A4=8, 11 the compressor is restarted, observing any protection times
(‘c’ parameters);
Closing the door:
The controller resumes normal operation:
• the fans and the compressor are started if called (observing any
protection times – ‘c’ parameters)
• the light is switched o if an output is congured as the light output
(H1= 4);
• the auxiliary relay is deactivated if H1 = 3;
• the buzzer is deactivated;
• the temperature stops ashing and the alarm icon (bell) goes o;
• the high temperature alarm is enabled after the delay Ad.
Ado = 1: cold room
Assuming the user enters the cold room, closing the door behind him,
and then exits the room, closing the door a second time. If the user
enters the cold room and then leaves immediately, closing the door, the
controller waits until the door is opened a second time and if this does
not occur within a certain time (A7 or d8), normal operation resumes.
Opening the door the rst time:
When opening the door, if parameters A7 and d8 are≠0, the controller
goes into pre-alarm status:
• the temperature displayed and the alarm icon (bell) ash;
• the high temperature alarm is disabled;
• if A4=7, 10 the fan is stopped;
• if A4=8, 11 the fan and the compressor are stopped;
• if A4=10, 11 and if the light output is congured (H1=4), the light is
activated;
If the door remains open for a time greater than A7, the controller goes
into alarm status:
• the fans and compressor are started if called; when restarting the
compressor the protection times are observed (‘c’ parameters);
• the light remains on if an output is congured as the light output (H1=
4);
• the auxiliary relay is energised if H1 = 3;
• the temperature displayed ashes alternating with ‘dor’;
• the buzzer is activated;
• the high temperature alarm is enabled after the delay Ad.
Closing the door the rst time:
the controller maintains the previous status:
• the fans and/or compressor (see parameter ‘A4’) remain o;
• the light is kept on if an output is congured as the light output (H1
= 4);
• the temperature and the alarm icon (bell) ash;
• the high temperature alarms remains disabled.
If, after rst closing, the door remains closed for a time greater than A7,
the controller resumes normal operation:
• the fans and/or compressors are switched on if called; when the
compressor restarts the protection times must be observed (‘c’
parameters)
• the light remains on if an output is congured as the light output (H1 = 4);
• the high temperature alarm is enabled after the delay Ad;
• the temperature stops ashing and the alarm icon (bell) goes o.
Note: assuming the user has already left the cold room, and in
that case will be able to turn o the light from the outside by
pressing the DOWN button, or alternatively is still working inside.
If, after rst closing, the light is switched o manually (the user is outside
the cold room), the controller resumes normal operation without waiting
for the door to open a second time:
• the fans and/or compressors are switched on if called; when the
compressor restarts the protection times must be observed (‘c’
parameters);
• the high temperature alarm is enabled after the delay Ad;
• the temperature stops ashing and the alarm icon (bell) goes o.
Opening the door the second time: status unchanged.
Closing the door the second time:
• the fans and/or compressors are switched on if called; when the
compressor restarts the protection times must be observed (‘c’
parameters)
• the high temperature alarm is enabled after the delay Ad;
• the light is o if an output is congured as the light output (H1= 4).
4.10 Evaporator fan management
parameters
The fan is activated based on the parameter settings and the status of
the controller.
The evaporator fan control temperature is measured by probe 2,
(connector 10).
To know which output is associated with the fan, see the wiring diagram
for the “easy” model used (see par. “2.2 Electrical connections” page 11).
Important: these parameters are not available in the compact
models.
In normal operation, the evaporator fan can be managed as follows:
• always on (F0= 0);
• on according to the evaporator temperature (F0= 1; F1);
• o when the compressor is o (F2= 1);
• activated in cyclical on/o mode (when the compressor is o - easy
split only).
During defrost, the status of the evaporator fan is determined by
parameter F3:
• controlled according to F0 (F3= 0);
• o (F3= 1).
The fan remains o:
• during the dripping period, if parameter dd≠0;
• during the post-dripping period, if parameter Fd≠0;
• for a time equal to c0 after instrument power-on, if parameter c0≠0.
F0: enable evaporator fan control
F0= 0 the fan is on;
F0= 1 the fan is controlled based on a set point (see parameter F1). If
the evaporator probe is faulty, the fan operates.
The controller starts the fans only when the temperature of the
evaporator is below the value F1-A0. F1 is the real temperature value and
not the deviation from the set point. Once o, the fans start again when
the dierence between the probe reading and the set point is equal to
+A0, where A0 is the fan controller dierential.
When F0= 1:
• evaporator temperature < F1– A0, the fan is ON;
• evaporator temperature > F1, the fan is o.

F2: stop evaporator fans if compressor stops
F2= 0 the fan operates according to F0 even when the compressor is o;
F2= 1 the fan is o when the compressor is o;
F2=2 (easy split only): the fan is managed in cyclical on/o mode.
The on and o times can be congured by parameters F4
and F5 respectively. The on and o sequence after control is
deactivated starts with the ON phase, so as to exploit the fact
that the evaporator is still cold.

F3: evaporator fan status during defrost
F3= 0 the fan is on during the defrost;
F3= 1 the fan is o during the defrost.
Fd: post-dripping time
The fans, after the defrost, can stay o for a further period (in minutes)
beyond dd, dened by the value of Fd. This is useful to allow the evaporator
to return to operating temperature after defrost, thus avoiding blowing
“warm” air into the refrigerated environment.
If management by fan controller is selected, no time needs to be set
for Fd as the controller starts the fans again when the evaporator has
reached the correct temperature. If the fan controller is active (F0 = 1),
setting to Fd a value ≠ 0, the fans remain o for a time equal to the value
of Fd regardless of the evaporator temperature.
F4: fan ON time (with F2 = 2) (easy split only)
This parameter only has meaning when F2 = 2.
It denes the time expressed in minutes within the period (F4 + F5)
during which the fans are on without being called.
F5: fan OFF time (with F2 = 2) (easy split only)
This parameter only has meaning when F2 = 2.
It denes the time expressed in minutes within the period (F4 + F5)
during which the fans are o without being called.

4.11 Clock and time band parameters
The RTC (Real Time Clock), not available on the easy compact models,
is used to manage the defrost function, curtain switch/night-time
operation and AUX output in real time. The user can enable/disable the
clock and set the current time using dedicated parameters.
In particular, up to 4 time bands can be set for managing the defrosts,
one band for managing night-time operation and one for activating the
AUX output.
The clock alarm fault “EtC” is activated only if the clock is eectively used,
that is, has been enabled, the time has been set and there is at least one
valid time band.
Setting the clock:
1. press the SET button for more than 3 s (if there are active alarms,
rst mute the buzzer) the display shows the parameter code “PS”
(password);
2. press the SET button to access the password setting and use the
UP and DOWN buttons to scroll the numbers until displaying “22”
(password to access the conguration parameters);
3. press the SET button to conrm the password;
4. use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll the names of the parameters
until reaching the parameter tEn;
5. press SET to display the value associated with the parameter;
6. use the UP and DOWN buttons until reaching the value 1 for enabling
the clock;
7. press SET to temporarily save the new value and display the parameter
again;
8. repeat the operation to set the values of the parameters dAY (day of
the week), hr (hours), Min (minutes). For easy split, also set YEr, Mon,
dMo;
9. at the end of the operations, press the SET button for more than 3
seconds to permanently save the selected values and exit.
Setting the time bands:
Perform the operations from point 1 to point 7 above, then:
• select the parameter relating to the required band (e.g. d1d= DEFROST
TIME BAND 1 DAY setting);
• press SET to display the status of the parameter;
• use the UP and DOWN buttons until reaching the desired value;
• press SET to temporarily save the new value and return to the previous
display;
• repeat the operation to set the values of the parameters d1h
(TIME BAND 1 HOUR setting), d1m (TIME BAND 1 MINUTES setting)
• at the end of the operations, press the SET button for more than
3 seconds to permanently save the selected values and exit.
RTC clock parameters
tEn enable RTC (tEn=1 RTC enabled)
YEr (easy split only): current year;
Mon (easy split only): current month;
dMo (easy split only): day of the month;
dAY: current day of the week (1…7= Monday to Sunday);
hr current hour (24 h)
Min current minutes
Example: to set the current time and date to 15.07 on Thursday 3 May
2007, set:
tEn=1,
YEr=07, Mon=05, dMo=03 (easy split only)
dAY=4, hr=15, Min=7
The controller will save the time and the day of the week, month and year
(on easy and easy compact controllers the month and year are ignored).
Note: the instrument does not manage automatic changeover to
daylight saving.

nOh Night-time band set point start hours
nOM Night-time band set point start minutes
nFd Night-time band set point end day
nFh Night-time band set point end hours
nFM Night-time band set point end minutes
In easy split models, entering night time band involves the automatic
modication of the set point and the light output (if H1=4)
Example: To program the night-time set point (nOd) every day from
12.31 to 13.29, set: nOd=11 (days), nOh=12 (start hours), nOM=31 (start
minutes), nFh=13 (end hours) and nFM=29 (end minutes).
During night-time operation, the set point is varied: night-time set point
= st +r4 (in direct mode), night-time set point = st -r4 (in reverse mode).
Where featured, the protective curtain also closes the cabinet (A4=4).
Parameters for setting the AUX output activation time band
AOd AUX output activation time band day setting
AOd= 0 no event set
AOd= 1…7 Monday to Sunday
AOd= 8 from Monday to Friday
AOd= 9 from Monday to Saturday

AOh AUX output activation time band start hours
AOM AUX output activation time band start minutes
AFd AUX output deactivation time band end day
AFh AUX output activation time band end hours
AFM AUX output activation time band end minutes
Example: To program the activation of the AUX output every day from
12.31 at 13.29, set: AOd=11 (days), AOh=12 (start hours), AOM=31 (start
minutes), AFh=13 (end hours) and AFM=29 (end minutes).
ImportantImportant: the activation the AUX output activation time band is
linked to parameters H1=3 and A4≠6/7/8 and for easy split
A4≠10,11.
4.12 Rapid parameter set selection (EZY)
The easy, easy compact and easy split controllers feature the EZY
parameter (on the compact models, this is called EY), which is used to
quickly choose a list of parameters, with corresponding values, for the
control of the refrigeration system.
By setting parameter EZY=1, 2, 3, 4, one of the 4 lists made up of a
maximum of 25 parameters (for the lists see par. “5.9 Table of EZY
parameter sets” page 36). The values in the chosen list overwrite the
corresponding operating parameters.
Note:
• to restore the selected rapid parameter set at any time, turn the
controller o and on again, while holding SET. The display shows
“CE” to indicate that the selected rapid set (EZY= 1, 2, 3, 4) has again
overwritten the operating parameters, thus restoring the original set
of parameters;
• to restore all the parameters and return to the original default values
(factory settings), turn the controller o and on again while holding
DOWN and SET, until the display shows “CF”. Use this procedure with
extreme care, as it may compromise the fundamental control settings;
• EZY=0 brings no change;
• on the thermometer models (PJEZM*), the EZY parameter (EY for the
easy compact models) is not featured.
4.13 Other settings
The operation of the device is completed by a series of additional
functions, such as the assignment of a supervisor serial network address,
the conguration of the AUX relay, the enabling of the keypad and the
buzzer.
H0: serial address
Assigns the instrument an identication address for connecting to a
supervisory or telemaintenance system (def. H0=1).
H1: AUX output conguration
Establishes the operating logic of the auxiliary relay; in particular denes
whether it is used as an alarm output or as an auxiliary output linked to
the digital input. On easy split models there are also the light and second
compressor outputs, with or without rotation.
H1= 0 no function associated with the output
H1=1 alarm output: norm. energised (relay de-energised with
alarm)
H1=2 alarm output: norm. de-energised (relay energised with
alarm)
H1=3 AUX output related to Dig. in.
- easy, easy compact : A4 = [6/7/8];
- easy split: A4 = [6/7/8/10/11];
Dig. in. OPEN = AUX de-energised
Dig. in. CLOSED = AUX energised + LED “AUX” display”
H1=4 light output (easy split only): the light can be switched on
pressing the corresponding button from the keypad or
when opening the door if the door switch is activated with
light management (see parameter Ado)
H1=5 second compressor output in parallel (easy split only):
the output is activated a few seconds after the activation of
the rst compressor (delay = c11). The second compressor
observes the protection times c0, c1, c2, c3 for the rst
compressor;
H1=6 second compressor output with two step control without
rotation (easy split only): the second compressor is called
when the temperature measured by the room probe
deviates by more than half the dierential (rd/2) from the
set point;
AMB_T Control probeCP2 Compressor 2
CP1Compressor 1rdDierential
ttimeStSet point
H1=7 second compressor output with two step control with
rotation (easy split only). The roles of main and secondary
compressor alternate following each shutdown, so that
when next started (stopped) the output not involved in
the previous start (stop). will be activated (deactivated).
Both the compressors must observe the protection times
c0, c1, c2 and c3.
• in mode H1= 1/2, the alarms that act on the AUX output are: “LO”, “HI”,
“E0”, “IA”, “CHT ”;
• mode H1= 1 is useful for signalling an alarm when a power failure occurs
H2: enable keypad
Used to prevent the set point and the other operating parameters
from being changed when the instrument is located in a place that is
accessible to the public.
H2= 0 keypad disabled:
- F parameters read-only
- C parameters modiable (with password)
- no set point modication
- no manual defrost
- no continuous cycle
- no ON/OFF
H2=1 keypad enabled
H2=2 keypad enabled except for ON/OFF
H4: disable buzzer
Setting H4= 1 disables the operation of the audible buzzer.
H5: ID code
Display-only value: this can only be modied via serial connection (key or
supervisor). When set to a positive value (values from 0 to 31 are used by
CAREL for the basic models), if a parameter, including the set point, is modied
from the keypad, the value becomes negative. This allows any modications
made the parameters compared to the initial settings to be monitored.
H6: select control associated with UP + DOWN buttons (easy split only)
The following values are allowed:
• H6 = 0: start/stop continuous cycle;
• H6 = 1: start/stop defrost.
H7: management of fourth relay/serial communication (easy split only)
This parameter is used to enable the fourth relay output (RL4). In
models with four relays, management of the fourth relay and serial
communication are mutually exclusive.
H7 = 0: fourth relay disabled and serial communication enabled;
H7 = 1: fourth relay enabled and serial communication disabled.
(see paragraph “2.3 Wiring diagram for multiple units” page 13).
PS: password
Protection code for modifying the conguration parameters (default=
22). The value of the password can be customised from the supervisor.
HMP: Maximum maintenance interval (easy split only)
This function requires the internal clock (RTC) to be enabled (tEn=1).
If HMP = 0, the maintenance request is deactivated. Parameter HMP,
expressed in days, is used to set the maximum time interval after which
the controller generates a maintenance request (the counter HMd has
exceeded the threshold HMP), which involves a message shown on the
display (SrC) and the alarm icon on. The signal can be deactivated by
setting parameter HMr = 1 from the keypad or supervisor. This operation
saves the current date and restarts the counter HMd.
HMd: Days elapsed since last maintenance (easy split only)
Read-only parameter. See the explanation of parameter HMP.
HMr: reset maintenance signal and restart HMd (easy split only)
If set to 1, this deactivates the signal SrC and restarts the counter HMd.
Operation available from the keypad and supervisor.
5. TABLES OF ALARMS AND PARAMETERS
5.1 Table of alarms and signals
When an alarm is activated, the display shows the corresponding message
that ashes alternating with the temperature; if tted and enabled, the
buzzer and the alarm relay are also activated.
All the alarms have automatic reset (that is, they stop when the causes
are no longer present), except for alarm ‘CHt’ which has manual reset
(instrument on/o using the UP button or by disconnecting the power
supply). Pressing the SET button mutes the buzzer, while the code
displayed and the alarm relay only go o when the causes of the alarm
have been resolved. The alarm codes are shown in the table below:
The possible alarm codes are shown in the following table:
IAactiveON external alarmautomatic[A4 = 1] [+A7]

correctly
set HMr=1
Note: in easy split controllers, when starting control (powering up
the controller and/or switching from OFF status), the high
temperature alarm signal is disabled until the rst time the compressor
stops, to avoid false signals. The rst time the compressor stops indicates
that the set temperature has been reached, and, consequently, the high
temperature alarm signal is enabled. This function is always active.
The activation of the corresponding function is delayed by a timer,
awaiting an external signal or disabled by another procedure that is
already in progress. e.g. if is a continuous cycle in progress and a defrost
is called, the latter will remain pending until the end of the continuous
cycle, and the corresponding LED (defrost) will ash.
E0 steady or ashing
control probe error:
• probe not working: the probe signal is interrupted or short-circuited;
• probe not compatible with the instrument;
The alarm signal E0 is steady if it is the only active alarm (the temperature
value is not displayed), while it ashes if other alarms are active or the
second probe is displayed.
E1 ashing
evaporator probe or food conservation probe error:
• probe not working, the probe signal is interrupted or short-circuited;
• probe not compatible with the instrument;
E2 ashing
condenser probe or food conservation probe error:
• probe not working, the probe signal is interrupted or short-circuited;
• probe not compatible with the instrument;
IA ashing
immediate or delayed alarm from multifunction digital input:
• check the multifunction input and parameters A4 and A7.
dOr ashing
open door alarm:
• check the multifunction input and parameters A4 and A7.
LO ashing
low temperature alarm. The probe has measured a temperature lower
than the set point by a value that exceeds parameter AL:
• check parameters AL, Ad and A0.
The alarm is automatically reset when the temperature returns within the
set limits (see parameter AL).
HI ashing
high temperature alarm. The probe has measured a temperature higher
than the set point by a value that exceeds parameter AH.
• check parameters AH, Ad and A0.
The alarm is automatically reset when the temperature returns within the
set limits (see parameter AH).
EE displayed during operation or on power-up
unit parameter reading error. See Data errors.
EF displayed during operation or on power-up
operating parameter reading error. See Data errors.
Ed ashing
The last defrost ended after exceeding the maximum duration rather
than when reaching the end defrost set point.
• check parameters dt, dP and d4;
• check the eciency of the defrost.
The message disappears when the next defrost ends correctly.
dF ashing
defrost running:
• this is not an alarm signal, but rather a message that the instrument is
running a defrost. Only shown if d6= 0.
cht ashing
dirty condenser pre-alarm:
• check parameters A4, Ac, AE and Acd.
CHt ashing
dirty condenser alarm:
• check parameters A4, Ac, AE and Acd.
EtC ashing
internal clock error.
SrC ashing (easy split only)
Maintenance request signal. Displayed only if parameter HMP≠0.
5.3 Data error
In certain operating conditions, the instrument may detect errors in the
data saved. These errors may compromise the correct operation of the
instrument. If the microprocessor detects a data saving error, the display
shows the message “EE”. If the fault persists, the controller needs to be
replaced. If, on the other hand, the message disappears, it can continue
to be used. When “EE” error occurs frequently and/or remains for some
time, the controller should be checked, as the original precision may not
be guaranteed.
5.4 Modifying the parameters
Parameter navigation
The operating parameters, modiable using the keypad, are divided into
two types: frequent (type F) and conguration (type C). Access to the
latter is protected by password (default= 22) to prevent accidental or
unauthorised modications.
Accessing the type F parameters:
• press the SET button for more than 3 s (if there are active alarms, mute
the buzzer). The display shows the parameter code ‘PS’ (password);
• use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll the parameters. The LED
corresponding to the category of parameters will be on (see Table 5.b);
• press SET to display the value associated with the parameter
• increase or decrease the value using the UP or DOWN button
respectively;
• press SET to temporarily save the new value and display the param. again;
• repeat the procedure for any other parameters that need to be
modied;
• press the SET button for more than 3 s to permanently save the
parameters and exit the parameter setting procedure.
Accessing the type C parameters:
• press the SET button for more than 3 s (if there are active alarms, mute
the buzzer), the display shows the parameter code “PS” (password);
• press the SET button to access the password setting;
• use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll the numbers until displaying
“22” (password to access the parameters);
• press the SET button to conrm the password;
• use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll the parameters. The LED
corresponding to the category of parameters will be on (see Table 5.b);
• press SET to display the value associated with the parameter;
• increase or decrease the value using the UP or DOWN button
respectively;
• press SET to temporarily save the new value and display the param. again;
• repeat the procedure for any other parameters that need to be
modied;
• press the SET button for more than 3 s to permanently save the
parameters and exit the parameter setting procedure.
Warnings: if no button is pressed for 60 s, all the changes made
to the parameters, temporarily saved in the RAM, will be cancelled
and the previous settings restored.
The dAY, hr, Min dMo*, Mom*, YEr* parameters are not restored, as these
are saved instantly when entered(*= easy split only).
If power is disconnected from the instrument before saving the settings
(pressing the SET button for 3 s), all the changes made to the parameters
and temporarily saved will be lost.
running this procedure overwrites any custom parameter settings.
To reset the default parameters:
• disconnect power from the instrument;
• reconnect power while holding the SET and DOWN buttons;
• the display will show the message “CF”;
• after a few seconds the instrument starts operating with the default
conguration. Any dierent parameter settings will need to be
updated.

The following table shows a number of anomalous situations that may
occur on the various models.
The most frequent causes and corresponding checks are described:
problemcausechecks
the compressor does not start (signalled by the
compressor LED ashing)
the temperature is over the set limits but there is
no alarm message and the buzzer, if tted, does not
sound
alarm IA is signalled (multifunction input) without
actually being active
the alarm connected to the multifunction input is
not detected
the defrost is not activated• defrost duration too short (dP)
the manual defrost is not activated and the defrost
LED ashes
the high temperature alarm is shown after a defrost the alarm delay after defrost is too short or the alarm
the display remains frozen even after the defrostthe ambient temperature has not yet reached the
after modifying a parameter the controller continues
working with the old values
for C models, the fan does not start 1. a compressor and fan start delay has been set

electromechanical relays tested in accordance to UL 60079-15 ed. 4 / ISA
12.12.01:2013 (Sealed or Enclosed Break Device). Acceptability of these
relays in end use application where ammable refrigerants are employed
shall be reviewed and judged in the end use application.
For use of PQEZ models of easy series with ammable refrigerant gases,
the controllers have been evaluated and judged compliant with the
following requirements of IEC 60335 series standards:
• Annex CC of IEC 60335-2-24:2010 referenced by clause 22.109 and
Annex BB of IEC 60335-2-89:2010 referenced by clause 22.108;
components that produce arcs or sparks during normal operation
have been tested and found to comply with the requirements in UL/
IEC 60079-15;
• IEC/EN/UL 60335-2-24 (clauses 22.109, 22.110) for household
refrigerators and freezers
• IEC/EN/UL 60335-2-40 (clauses 22.116, 22.117) for electrical heat
