1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Vcolor 818 is a controller with elegant design for the management of “top-class” blast chillers.

It is available in split version and can be integrated both mechanically and aesthetically in the unit; the user interface

consists of a colour touch-screen TFT graphic display and guarantees an IP65 protection rating, for easy cleaning.

The controller is able to manage positive and negative blast chilling cycles (with intensity management), both

temperature and time controlled (with “hard/soft” function); the temperature controlled cycles can be preceded by a

test to verify the proper insertion of the needle probe (with management of “multipoint” probes).

It also has the real time clock (to store the HACCP alarms), the “programs” function (to store the blast chilling settings

in a program to be selected and run later on) and a USB communication port (to allow the upload and the download of

the settings and the data recorded by the controller, through a common USB flash drive).

Installation is by back-panel, with threaded studs (in this case it guarantees no thickness) or by panel (from the front),

with self-threading screws and frame (in this case it needs less depth).

Every operating cycle can be preceded by pre-cooling; see paragraph 6.13 "Pre-cooling start-up".

The temperature-controlled cycles are preceded by a test to verify the correct insertion of the needle probe; see

paragraph 6.14 " Management of the test regarding correct insertion of the needle probe".

If the needle probe is not enabled, i.e. if parameter P3 is set at 0, the temperature-controlled cycles will be started

with time-control.

The following functions can also be used:

- switching on sterilisation cycle UV light

- heating the needle probe.

For further information, see the next paragraphs

6.1.1 Foreword regarding needle probe

The device can manage "multipoint" needle probes (with up to three sensors".

Parameter P3 establishes the number of needle probe sensors as indicated:

- if parameter P3 is set at 0, the needle probe will not be enabled

- if parameter P3 is set at 1, there will be one sensor (needle probe 1)

- if parameter P3 is set at 2, there will be 2 sensors (needle probe 1 and needle probe 2)

- if parameter P3 is set at 3, there will be 3 sensors (needle probe 1 and needle probe 2 and needle probe 3).

If parameter P3 is set at values different to 0, the temperature-controlled cycles will be preceded by a test to verify

the correct insertion of the needle probe; see paragraph 6.14 " Management of the test regarding correct insertion of

the needle probe".

On conclusion of the test, the device will operate as indicated:

- the sensor that has detected the lowest temperature is then used as the reference temperature for heating the

Notes:

(1) the unit of measurement depends on parameter P2

(2) appropriately set the parameters relative to the regulators after modification of parameter P2

(3) the time established with the parameter is counted also during the "on" status and during the "stand-by" status

(4) The parameter differential is 2 °C/4 °F

(5) on device switch-on (or cycle start), if the condenser temperature is already over that established with

parameter C7, parameter C8 will have no effect

(6) defrosting is only enabled during pre-cooling, on start-up of blast chilling and at the start-up of deep freezing

(in these last two cases on condition that parameter d4 is set at 1) and during storage

(7) the device memorises the defrosting interval count every 30 minutes; the modification of parameter d0 has

effect from the conclusion of the previous defrosting interval (or the activation of defrosting in manual mode)

page 74 of 94

(8) if on activation of defrosting, the previous compressor switched on at from a time shorter than that established

with parameter d15, the compressor will remain on longer for the fraction of time necessary to complete this

time period

(9) the temperature alarms are only enabled during storage

(10) during defrosting, pre-dripping, dripping and evaporator fan standstill, the temperature alarms are not enabled,

on condition that they occurred after activation of defrosting. When the door is open, i.e. if the door micro

switch input is active and the parameter i0 is set at values different to 0, the maximum temperature alarm is

not enabled, on condition that occurred after the door was opened

(11) if parameter P4 is set at 0, during pre-cooling, blast chilling and deep freezing the evaporator fan will be on and

during storing the device will operate as if parameter F2 it were set at 2

(12) if parameter P5 is set at 0, the condenser fan will function parallel to the compressor

(13) the door open is enabled only using the "run" state

(14) if the door is opened during defrosting or evaporator fan standstill, opening has no effect on the compressor

(15) modify the parameter during the "stand-by" status to prevent damage to the utility

(16) the pump down valve is activated when the compressor is switched-on.
