The OPTYMATM Control single-phase is a new control
panel for cold rooms with a single-phase compressor
up to 2 HP, specially designed for safety, protection,
control and ease of installation.
It allows the user to control all the components on
a refrigeration system: compressor, evaporator fans,
defrosting elements, room light and thermostatholder.
Main characteristics
- Direct control of defrosting elements, evaporator
fans, room light with outputs directly connectable
to the various units.
- Automatic fuse protect the refrigeration unit.
- Stylish ABS housing with transparent cover for
access to the automatic fuse, all with an IP65
protection rating so that panel can be used
outside the room.
Overall dimensions
Applications
- Complete management of single-phase static
or ventilated refrigeration systems up to 2 HP, with
o-cycle or electrical defrosting and with direct or
pump-down compressor stop.
- Control of single-phase evaporator unit only with
solenoid valve or remote condensing unit.
- LED indicators and large display show system
status.
- User-friendly keypad.
- Display resolution to 0.1 °C.
- Modbus data communication that can be
connected to an ADAP-KOOL® system unit.
Use the three existing holes to
x the housing back panel to the
wall: use three screws of a suitable
length for the thickness of the
wall on which the panel will be
mounted. Fit a rubber washer
(supplied) between each screw
and the housing back panel.
6.
Hook the front panel back up to
the lower part of the housing by
inserting the two hinges in their
seats and, bending them, rotate
downwards 180° to gain access to
the electronic board.
If Modbus data communication
is connected, see the JUMPER
setting on page 14, preferably
before all the wiring is connected.
NOTE !
Make all the electrical connections as illustrated in the diagram for the corresponding model (see
drawing on page 16).
To eect correct electrical connection and maintain the protection rating, use appropriate wire/
raceway grips to ensure a good seal.
Route the wiring inside the unit in as tidy a fashion as possible: be especially careful to keep power
wires away from signal wires. Use clips to hold wires in place.
7.
Close the front panel, making sure
that all the wires are inside the
housing and that the housing seal
sits in its seat properly.
Tighten the front panel using the 4
screws, making sure the O-rings on
the head of each screw are used.
Power up the panel and carry out
thorough reading/programming
of all the parameters.
NOTE !
Be careful not to over-tighten the closure screws as this could warp the housing and compromise
proper operation of the membrane-type keypad.
Install short-circuit overload safety devices on all the power cables connected to the OPTYMATM
Control so as to prevent damage to the device. Work and/or maintenance must be carried out on
the unit ONLY after disconnecting the panel from the power supply and from any inductive/power
loads: doing so allows the worker to do his job safely.
To enhance safety and simplify the operator’s work,
the OPTYMATM Control has two programming
levels; the rst level (Level 1) is used to congure

the frequently-modied SETPOINT parameters. The
second programming level (Level 2) is for general
parameter programming of the various controller
work modes.
Symbols used
For practical purposes the following symbols are used:
• (▲) the UP key is used to increase values and mute the alarm.
• (▼) the DOWN key is used to decrease values and force defrosting.
Setting and displaying the setpoints
1. Press the SET key to display the current SETPOINT
(temperature)
2. Hold down the SET key and press the (▲) or (▼)
keys to modify the SETPOINT.
Release the SET key to return to cold room
temperature display: the new setting will be saved
automatically.
To gain access to the Level 1 conguration menu
proceed as follows:
When conguration values have been set, you
can exit the menu by pressing the (▲) and (▼)
keys simultaneously for a few seconds until the

5. The new settings are saved automatically when
you exit the conguration menu.
2. Release the (▲) and (▼) keys.
3. Select the variable to be modied using the (▲)
and (▼) key.
4. When the variable has been selected it is
possible to:
• display the setting by pressing the SET key
• modify the setting by pressing the SET key
together with the (▲) and (▼) key.

At the end of defrost, the compressor and fans remain at standstill for time
d7 and the defrost LED on the front panel ashes.
F5Fan pause after defrost (minutes)
Allows fans to be kept at standstill for time F5 after dripping. This time
begins at the end of dripping. If no dripping has been set, the fan pause
starts directly at the end of defrost.
A1Minimum temperature alarm
Allows user to dene a minimum temperature for the room being
refrigerated. Below value A1 an alarm trips: the alarm LED ashes, the
displayed temperature ashes and the buzzer sounds to indicate the
problem.
A2Maximum temperature alarm
Allows user to dene a maximum temperature for the room being
refrigerated. Above value A2 an alarm trips: the alarm LED ashes, the
displayed temperature ashes and the buzzer sounds to indicate the
problem.

time (d3) is reached.
When using data communication, the defrost cycle
can be started from the system unit.
Hot-gas defrosting
Set parameter d1 =1 to defrost in cycle inversion
mode.
The compressor relay and defrost relay are activated
throughout the defrost phase.
To ensure proper control of the system the installer
must use the defrost output: this must allow
opening of the cycle inversion solenoid valve and
closure of the liquid solenoid valve.
For capillary systems (without thermostat valve) the
cycle inversion solenoid valve can be controlled via
the defrost relay control.
