MOUNTING - DIMENSIONS
The device is designed for panel mounting. Drill a 29x71 mm hole and insert the instrument; secure it with the special brackets
provided. Do not install the instrument in damp and/or dirty places; in fact, it is suitable for use in places with ordinary or normal levels
of pollution. Keep the area around the instrument cooling slots adequately ventilated.

MANUAL DEFROST CYCLE ACTIVATION
To manually activate the defrost cycle, hold down the key for 5 seconds.
If the defrost conditions are not satisfied:
- parameter OdO ≠ 0 (EWPlus 961/971/974)
- probe Pb2 temperature is higher than the defrost end temperature (EWPlus 971/974)
the display will flash 3 times, to indicate that the operation will not be carried out.
DIAGNOSTICS
Alarms are always indicated by the buzzer (if present) and the alarm icon .
To switch off the buzzer, press and release any key; the corresponding icon will continue to flash.
NOTE: If alarm exclusion times have been set (see “AL” folder in the parameters table) the alarm will not be signalled.
- E1: in the event of cold room probe faulty (Pb1), the indication “E1” will appear on the display.
- E2: in the event of defrost probe faulty (Pb2), the indication “E2” will appear on the display (EWPlus 971/974 models only).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONs
Attention! Make sure the machine is switched off before working on the electrical connections.
The instrument is equipped with screw or disconnectable terminal blocks for connecting electrical cables with a max. diameter of
2.5 mm
maximum permissible current; in case of higher loads, use a suitably rated contactor. Make sure the power supply voltage complies
with that required by the instrument. Probes have no connection polarity and can be extended using a normal bipolar cable (note that
the extension of the probes influences the electromagnetic compatibility - EMC - of the instrument: take great care with the wiring).
Probe cables, power supply cables and the TTL serial cable should be routed separately from power cables.
