8. Steam
8.1 Steam generator (Not present in XF332M)
By pushing the STEAM key the relay of the
steam generator is switched. The status of the Generator
is monitored by the led: if the led is ON the generator is
working, if the LED is off the generator is off.
XF331M: the XF331M is provided with a digital input
working at line voltage (terminals 21-22) enabling the
steam injection. When the steam is not available the LED
oft the STEAM key is flashing.
8.2 Steam injection
If the LED oft the STEAM key is on the injection
is enabled.
There are 2 kinds of injection cycles:
Single cycle
Repetitive cycle
During the single cycle (ccy=Sin) the steam output
remains on for a certain time settable directly by the
keyboard.
During the repetitive cycle (ccy=riP) the steam output
performs 60s cycles. The duty cycle is settable directly by
the keyboard.
The steam injection is established by the Acy parameter
according to the following: :
Manual injection by the key
Automatic injection
With manual injection (Acy=MAn) the steam is injected
only when the key is pushed.
With automatic injection (Acy=AUt) the steam is
automatically injected at cooking cycle starting.
After a steam injection, an inhibition time is started (par.
tCy) during this period the steam injection is disabled.
8.3 How to set the steam injection time
The steam injection time is settable directly by the
keyboard:
The maximum settable injection time depends on the
HSi parameter.
With HSi=0 steam is injected as long as the key is
pressed.
1. To set the injection time push the INJECTION key
2. With single cycle (ccy=sin) the time display shows
the duration of the steam injection. Use the UP and
DOWN keys to set the value (0÷60s).
3. With repetitive cycle (ccy=riP) the TIME display
shows 4 for digits. The 2 digits on the right indicate
the injection time, the 2 digits on the left indicate the
time during which the output is off.
Use the UP and DOWN keys to set the value. The
OFF time is automatically calculated according to
the following formula: 60 – ON TIME.
ES. The 4020 number means that the instrument
do a injection cycle of 20s and then stays off for
40s.
4.To exit: push again the key or wait the
timeout to expire.
NOTE1: The steam injection can be stopped pushing
again the INJECTION key .
NOTE2: Setting the HSi parameter to 0, the steam is
injected continuously as long as key is pushed.
NOTE3: If ccY= riP (repetitive cycle) and the inhibition
time (TcY) added to the injections time (tco) is grater than
60s, the instrument does cycles with the following period
T= tcY + tco, instead of 60s cycles.
It means that he steam is injected for tco seconds and is
disabled for tcY seconds.
9. The steam extractor (Not present in
XF331M)
The steam extractor can be activated by keyboard or
automatically before the end of a cooking cycle.
9.1 How to activate the extractor by means of
the keyboard
By pushing the EXTRACTOR key the relay of the
extractor is switched. The status of the extractor is
monitored by the led: if the led is ON the extractor is
working, if the LED is off the extractor is off.
To set the time, act as follow:
1. Push the EXTRACTOR key till the time
display will show the activation time in the following
format: h:mm.
2. Use the UP and DOWN keys to set the value.
(0÷1h30m).
5.To exit: push again EXTRACTOR key or
wait the timeout to expire.
NOTE: By setting the time to 0, only the manual activation
is enabled.
10. The fan relay (Only for XF332M)
The XF332M is provide with a relay for the fan (terminals
17-18).
The relay is activated when the controller is switched on.
During the steam injection the relay is switched off.
After the steam injection it stays off according to the
setting of the tFS parameters (0÷90m)
11. The Energy Saving function
The Energy Saving function is enabled by pushing the
key. It avoids Ceiling and Bottom outputs from
working together. The 2 outputs are switched on
alternatively.
The tcE and dcy parameters control this function:
1. The tcE par. (1÷999s) set the Energy Saving cycle
time.
2. The dcy (0÷100) set the switching on percentage
of the Ceiling output during the Energy Saving
cycle.
ES. With Energy Saving function enabled, tcE=100s and
dcy=60, when there is a contemporary request of
switching on of the ceiling and bottom outputs, the 2
outputs work as explained in the following graph:

you want to restart the programming again or remove the
not programmed “Hot key”.
15. Mounting & installation
The instruments are suitable only for internal use. They
are panel mounted, hole dims 69x135 mm, and fixed with
the supplied clips.
The ambient operating temperature range is between
0÷60°C.
Avoid locations subject to heavy vibration, corrosive gases
or excessive dirt. The same applies to the probes. Ensure
ventilation around the instrument.
The instruments are provided with disconnectable screw
terminal blocks to connect cables with a cross section up
to 2,5 mm2.
Before connecting cables make sure the power supply
complies with the instrument’s requirements. Separate the
input connection cables from the power supply cables,
from the outputs and the power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current allowed on each relay, in
case of heavier loads use a suitable external relay.
17. Alarm signalling

The Dixell instruments are provided with an internal check
for the data integrity. Alarm “EE” flashes when a failure in
the memory data occurs. In such cases the alarm output is
enabled.
17.2 Temperature alarms (HA, LA)
The temperature alarm controls doesn’t work during:
1. if the cooking time is not in progress.
2. if the instrument is in standby mode.
Every time the temperature exceeds the limits for the dA1
and dA2 time an alarm message is given.
Temperature alarms “HA” and “LA” automatically stop as
soon as the temperature returns to normal values.
17.3 Probe failure alarms (PF)
Probe alarm “PF” starts some seconds after the fault in the
related probe; it automatically stop some seconds after the
probe restarts normal operation. Check connections
before replacing the probe.
