1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Vcolor 338 L is a controller with elegant design for managing
“top-class” electric ovens for gastronomy and confectionery
(including rotary ones).
It is available in split version and can be integrated both
mechanically and aesthetically into the unit, the user interface
is composed of a 7 inch TFT touch-screen colour graphic
display and guarantees an IP65 protection rating, for easy
cleaning.
It is able to manage ventilation in "on / off" and modulating
mode (in this case it is necessary to also use an external
speed regulator), with inversion of the direction of rotation of
the fan.
It also manages the steam (injection and air vent), both in
automatic and manual mode, the cleaning, with liquid
detergent or tablet, and the “weekly programmed switch-on”
and “programs” functions (the latter to memorise the cooking
settings in a program, with the purpose of successively
selecting and performing it).
This is to be installed on the back of the panel, with studs, for
flush mounting

2.3 Installation warnings
-
-
-
-
make sure that the device work conditions (temperature of use, humidity, etc.) lie within the limits indicated; see chapter
20 “TECHNICAL DATA”
do not install the device near to any heat sources (heating elements, hot air ducts etc.), equipment containing powerful
magnets (large diffusers, etc.), areas affected by direct sunlight, rain, humidity, excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or
shocks
any metal parts in proximity of the control module must be at a distance such that they do not compromise the safety
distances.
in compliance with Safety Standards, the device must be installed correctly and in a way to protect against any contact with
electric parts; all parts that ensure protection must be fixed in a way that they cannot be removed without the use of tools.

3.2 Warnings for the electric connection
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
do not use electric or pneumatic screwdrivers on the device terminal board
if the device has been taken from a cold to hot place, humidity could condense inside; wait about 1 hour before powering it
make sure that the power supply voltage, the frequency and the device electric power, correspond to those of the local
power supply; see chapter 20 “TECHNICAL DATA”
disconnect the device power supply before proceeding with any type of maintenance
position the power cables as far away as possible from the signal cables
the terminating resistor must be connected in order to reduce the reflections on the signal transmitted along the cables that
connect the user interface to the control module.
for repairs and information regarding the device, contact the EVCO sales network.
