1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Vcolor 338 S is a controller with elegant design for managing
“top-class” electric ovens for gastronomy and confectionery.
It is available in split version and can be integrated both
mechanically and aesthetically into the unit, the user interface
is composed of a 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 vent), both in
automatic and manual mode, of the “weekly programmed
switch-on” and “programmes” functions (the latter to
memorise the cooking settings in a programme, with the
purpose of successively selecting and performing it).
The installation is envisioned behind the panel, with studs (in
this case it guarantees flatness) or in the panel (from the
front), with self-tapping screws and frame (in this case it
requires a reduced depth).

EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 338 S | Installer manual ver. 1.2 | Code 144VC338SE124
2.3 Panel installation (from front panel)
The following drawing illustrates the installation on the panel (from front) of the device user interface (with self-tapping screws and
frame).
Through the gasket 1010VCOL00 (to be ordered separately) it is possible to guarantee the device user interface a protection rating of
IP65; through the frame 0026700005 (to be ordered separately) it is also possible to integrate it aesthetically.
This type of installation requires reduced depth.
2.4 Control module dimensions and installation
The following drawing illustrates the device's control module dimensions; these are expressed in mm (in).
Installation is envisioned on a flat surface, with shims.

2.5 Installation warnings
- make sure that the device work conditions (temperature of use, humidity, etc.) lie within the limits indicated; see chapter
18 “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.

The RS-485 MODBUS port is the communication port with the following EVCO products:
- parameters Manager set-up software system
- CloudEvolution plants monitoring and surveillance systems (via Web)
The USB communication port that allows the upload and download of the device settings, through a common USB pen drive.
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 with those of the local
power supply; see chapter 18 “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 model.
- for repairs and information regarding the device, contact the EVCO sales network.
