IMPORTANT:

The use of this new instrument is easy; but for safety reasons, it is

important read these instructions carefully before the installation or

before the use and follow all additional informations.

It is very important keep these instructions with the instrument for future

consultations.

WHAT IS THE USE

EC 6-180 is an ON-OFF digital thermostat studied for refrigerating systems management through

the compressor, evaporator fans and defrost (for temperature-time) management.

In factory the instrument gets preset to accept at the measure inputs PTC/NTC probes used in

refrigeration field at the moment.

Some parameters permit to set the thermostat to protect the compressor against overloads

due to several starts repeated in a short time, to manage the defrost according with one’s

requirements, to establish the evaporator fans output functioning, to signal working condi-

tions outside the safety limits.

EC 6-180 is available in the 53 x 90 mm (2.08 x 3.54 in., 3 DIN modules) case and it is studied

for DIN standard rail installation.

INSTALLATION

EC 6-180 was studied for DIN EN 50022 standard rail installation according with DIN 43880

norms (the overall dimensions are related in Fig. 3, the fixing system suggested by the builder

is related in Fig. 4).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS

- verify if the using conditions (ambient temperature, humidity, etc.) are within the

limits indicated by the builder (see the chapter TECHNICAL DATA)

- install the instrument in a location with a suitable ventilation, to avoid the internal

overheating of the instrument

- do not install the instrument near surfaces that can to obstruct the air-grating (car-

pets, covers, etc.), heating sources (radiators, hot air ducts, etc.), locations sub-

ject to direct sunlight, rain, humidity, excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or

bumps, devices with strong magnetos (microwave ovens, big speakers, etc.)

- according with the safety norms, the protection against possible contacts with

electrical parts and parts protected with functional insulation only must be ensured

through a correct installation procedure of the instrument; all parts that ensure the

protection must be fixed so that they can not be removed if not with a tool.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

EC 6-180 is provided with four screw terminal blocks for cables up to 2.5 mm² (0.38 in.², for

the connection to the power supply, inputs and outputs), it is provided with one three poles

single line male connector (for the connection to the remote indicator) and it is provided with

one five poles single line female connector (for the connection to the CLONE configurer/cloner

and RICS supervision systems), located on the instrument frontal panel (the connections to

derive are related in Fig. 5 and they are checkable on the polyester label stuck on the instru-

ment case).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS

- if the instrument is brought from a cold to a warm location, the humidity may

condense inside the instrument; wait about an hour before supply the instrument

- verify if the operating power supply voltage, electrical frequency and power of

the instrument correspond to the local power supply (see the chapter TECHNICAL

DATA)

- do not supply more instruments with the same transformer

- if the instrument is installed on a vehicle, its power supply must be derived di-

rectly from the battery of the vehicle

- give the instrument a protection able to limit the current absorbed in case of

failure

- the instrument remains connected to the local power supply as long as the termi-

nals 75 and 77 are derived to the local power supply, even if the instrument is

apparently turned off

- give the probes a protection able to insulate them against possible contacts with

metal parts or use insulated probes

- give the outputs a protection able to protect them against short circuit and overload

- do not try to repair the instrument; for the repairs apply to highly qualified staff

- if you have any questions or problems concerning the instrument please consult

PRELIMINARY INFORMATIONS

After derived the connections related in Fig. 5, during the normal functioning the instrument

displays the temperature read by the cabinet probe.

If an alarm should be active the instrument displays the alarm code flashing and the buzzer

utters an intermittent beep as long as the cause that has given it does not disappear (see the

chapter SIGNALS AND ALARMS); pressure on the key T1 during an alarm permits to silence

the buzzer.

EC 6-180 is provided with one working setpoint and with some configuration parameters that

get stored in a non volatile memory and that permit to set the instrument according with one’s

requirements (see the chapter CONFIGURABILITY).

The output K 1 is associated to the compressor and to the working setpoint, it remains acti-

vated continuously as long as the temperature read by the cabinet probe reaches the working

setpoint and when it rises above the working setpoint of the hysteresis value (differential) the

output gets reactivated, except during a defrost and a dripping.

The output K 2 is associated to the evaporator fans and it is forced to the status ON, except

during a dripping and except what established with the parameters of the family F.

Passed the defrost interval from the moment of the instrument start or from the moment in

which the instrument presents a request of a defrost cycle, if the conditions permit it (the

temperature read by the evaporator probe must be below the defrost stopping setpoint) the

instrument automatically presents the following request of a defrost cycle.

A defrost cycle provides three phases (defrost, dripping and evaporator fans stoppage) con-

nected in cascade since the end of one automatically determines the passage to the following

one.

The output K 3 is associated to the defrost and it remains continuously activated during the

defrost as long as the temperature read by the evaporator probe reaches the defrost stopping

setpoint when the defrost ends and the instrument automatically moves to the dripping; if the

instrument was set to manage defrost to resistances (electrical) during a defrost the output K 1

gets forced to the status OFF, if the instrument was set to manage hot gas defrost (reversal of

cycle) during a defrost the output K 1 remains continuously activated.

Passed the dripping length from the moment of the defrost end the instrument automatically

moves to the evaporator fans stoppage; during a dripping the outputs K 1 and K 2 get forced to

the status OFF.

Passed the evaporator fans stoppage length from the moment of the dripping end the defrost

cycle ends; during an evaporator fans stoppage the output K 2 activation gets disabled.

If the conditions permit it (the temperature read by the evaporator probe must be below the

defrost stopping setpoint) keeping pushed the key T2 for four seconds at least or activating the

remote defrost digital input the instrument presents a request of a defrost cycle.

WORKING SETPOINT SETTING (WORKING TEMPERATURE)

To modify the working setpoint value keep pushed the key T3 (the instrument displays the

actual value) and at the same time push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as long as

the instrument displays the desired value (keeping pushed the key T1 or T2 the value gets

decreased or increased more quickly): after the modification release the key T3 last; during the

pressure of the key T3 the LED L1 flashes quickly to indicate that a working setpoint setting

procedure is running (to the release of the key T3 the instrument automatically turns out from
