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).
