1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product description
Vcolor 539 is a split controller with a capacitive TFT touch-screen colour graphic display (5” or 7") for flush panel fitting and total
management of food processing cabinets or rooms for different types of products such as meat, charcuterie and cheese.
It has manual conservation cycles and automatic aging cycles (up to 30 sequential phases) whose duration, temperature, humidity and
ventilation can all be fully configured.
It is possible to set automatic air change and pause/work cycles, as well as managing optional sterilisation, oxygenation and smoking
processes either automatically or manually.
Upon request, the controllers can be equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity so it can interact remotely with the unit through the EPoCA®
cloud platform, with the option of starting/stopping working cycles.
Standard 4-20 mA transducers (such as EVHP503) may be used to manage humidity or read the acidity level of a product; alternatively
humidity can be controlled using a dedicated probe T+RH EVTHP500 (RH 5-95% / T -20/80°C).

5 AN OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS
5.1 Automatic and manual cycles
The controller provides complete control for food processing cabinets or rooms for different types of products such as meat,
charcuterie, cheese and other types of product.
After a modification the settings will be saved provided that:
• an immediate START
• pressure on button saving data if the start is not immediate. Note: pressure on button "<" without
saving data will cancel the modifications.
5.2 Settable features for each phase
An automatic aging cycle can consist of a maximum of 30 different sequential phases, for each of which the user can set the following
features:

5.2.1 Management of temperature, humidity, ventilation speed, duration
Regulation of temperature and humidity is carried out in the neutral zone. The resolution of the setpoint setting and the temperature
reading is 0.1°C, while the resolution of the setting and the humidity reading is 1 %RH.
Heating control can be deactivated by the user for the whole duration of the cycle in progress using the general cycle settings.
Humidity control can be deactivated by the user for some phases: by setting humidity under 0%, the "OFF" value or "humidity control
deactivated for the phase in progress" will be set (the icon will appear on the display, showing humidity control is not active).
The ventilation, depending on the type chosen by the OEM, may be SINGLE SPEED (in this case it cannot be regulated by the end
user), DOUBLE SPEED (in this case the user can select LOW or HIGH speed) or modulating through the external phase cutting module
EVDFAN1 (in this case the user can select the speed from the minimum settable by the user to 100%).
Cycle duration can be set from 0 minutes to 30days23h59' with a resolution of 1 minute.
By setting the cycle duration to INF (the equivalent of value 0), the phase will have infinite duration and no following phases will ever
be carried out.

EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
5.2.2 Air change management
During the aging process, the air in the cabinet needs changing periodically to ensure it is always rich in oxygen in order to prevent
smells or impurities which could ruin the product.
The interval and duration of the air change fan are set by the user phase by phase.
For phases in which NO automatic air change is required (only manual), just set the activation interval to MANUAL (the equivalent of 0).
If the user also wishes to deactivate the MANUAL air change, just set the air change duration to OFF (the equivalent of 0) for the
desired phase.
5.2.3 Management of product rest intervals
During the aging process, products need frequent and long periods of complete rest, when the equipment does not regulate either the
temperature, humidity or ventilation inside the chamber.
During a rest phase, the only load that can be activated is the recirculation fan and this can be done either automatically or manually
(loads which do not concern regulation, such as light, obviously remain on or can be activated).
Product rest periods can be set by the user, phase by phase, in the following way:
- interval: how often the rest period takes place
- duration: how long the rest period lasts
- delay: how long after the beginning of the phase the first rest interval begins
- days: once the initial delay has elapsed, how many days the rest periods are repeated for, with the established interval and duration.
By setting the interval to MANUAL (the equivalent of 0), the rest period will only be manual.
By setting the duration to OFF (the equivalent of 0), manual rest period will also be disabled.
By setting the delay to 0', the rest period will begin immediately at the beginning of the phase.
The number of days can be set from 1 to 30.
5.3 Settable features for the aging cycle
As well as the individual features of each stage, the aging cycle has a number of special features which can be selected/deselected by
the user during the setting phase. These are:
CYCLE
Cabinet
restart
Heating
control
Final
holding
Final air
exchange
5.3.1 Cabinet restart
When the "Cabinet restart” function is enabled at the end of the set aging cycle, a pop-up appears on the display and, by simply
touching it, the same aging cycle is restarted.
The next time an automatic programme is entered, the controller will return to the last cycle carried out which can easily be retrieved
by the user.
5.3.2 Heating control
By enabling/disabling the "Heating control” function, the heaters (and their connected loads) will be activated/deactivated for the whole
duration of the cycle if the cabinet temperature goes below the neutral zone value established.
page 20 of 56
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
If heating control is disabled, the icon on the display
will stay on for the duration of the cycle.
5.3.3 Final holding
By enabling/disabling the "Final holding” function, the user decides if, at the end of the final phase in the cycle, the equipment must
maintain the temperature and humidity in the cabinet at the same values of the last phase before the cycle was STOPPED, or if it must
switch off all the regulation loads, losing control of the temperature and humidity.
5.3.4 Final air change
By enabling/disabling the "Final air change” function, the user decides if the equipment must carry out an air change cycle or not at the
end of the final phase of the cycle in progress. A final holding can be set to begin after the air change.
5.4 Other functions
During both automatic and manual aging cycles, a series of functions/loads can be activated manually by the end user to further
process/transform the products.
All these functions are activated/deactivated from parameter, therefore the function activation keys will only appear on the RUN screen
if they have been enabled.
5.4.1 Product sterilisation/oxygenation cycle
This cycle can be activated manually by the user during either an automatic or a manual aging cycle.
Parameter u1 establishes the type of icon to set, depending on the type of load connected: STERILISATION icon or OXYGENATOR icon.
Once the relevant key has been pressed, a pop-up screen will appear which will establish:
a) duration of the function (consisting of a sequence of Ton + Toff; duration in hh:mm with value 0 = UP TO MANUAL STOP)
b) activation time (in seconds)
c) switch-off time (in seconds)
When the switch-off time is set at 0 seconds, the output will be continuously active for the whole duration set by the user.
It is important to save the last value set by the user and repropose it at the next activation request.
The settings default is: duration = MANUAL, Ton = 180sec, Toff = 0sec
The activation of the function lasts for the duration of the cycle: a sterilisation/oxygenation cycle can be activated while an aging cycle
is taking place.
If the aging cycle changes phase, the sterilisation/oxygenation cycle continues.
If the aging cycle goes into the rest or air change phase, the sterilisation/oxygenation cycle is paused.
If the door is opened or there is a defrosting cycle, the sterilisation cycle will be SUSPENDED and will resume when the door is closed or
after the defrosting cycle and when the ventilation is reactivated.
If the aging cycle ends, the sterilisation/oxygenation cycle continues until the end of its counter time or until it is manually deactivated.
The STERILISATION output is only activated when the EVAPORATOR FAN IS ACTIVATED.
Temperature and humidity are regulated regularly. All the other outputs can be activated/deactivated.
The STERILISATION or OXYGENATION key will become one of 3 colours to indicate the activation, deactivation or pausing of the
function/output. They are:
U V U V U V
white icon key = function disabled
green icon key = function enabled and output activated
orange icon key = function enabled and output deactivated
5.4.2 Product smoking cycle
This cycle can be activated manually by the user during either an automatic or a manual aging cycle.
Once the relevant key has been pressed, a pop-up screen will appear which will establish the duration of the function (duration in
hh:mm with value 0 = UP TO MANUAL STOP).
It is important to save the last value set by the user as it will be reproposed at the next activation request.
The settings default is: duration = MANUAL.
The activation of the function lasts for the duration of the cycle: a smoking cycle can be activated while an aging cycle is taking place.
If the aging cycle changes phase, the smoking cycle is stopped.
If the aging cycle goes into the rest or air change phase, the smoking cycle is paused.

EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
If the door is opened or there is a defrosting cycle, the smoking cycle will be SUSPENDED and will resume when the door is closed or
after the defrosting cycle.
If the aging cycle finishes, the smoking cycle is stopped. When the cycle is terminated, it is not possible to launch a smoking cycle.
Temperature and humidity are regulated regularly. All the other outputs can be activated/deactivated.
The SMOKING key will become one of 3 colours to indicate the activation, deactivation or pausing of the function/output. They are:
white icon key = function disabled
green icon key = function enabled and output activated
orange icon key = function enabled and output deactivated
5.4.3 Manual rest cycle
The operation of this cycle is described in the section "Management of product rest intervals". Similarly to what happens in the
sterilisation/oxygenation and smoking cycles (see previous sections), the relative key will become one of 3 colours to indicate the
activation, deactivation or pausing of the function/output.
5.4.4 Manual air change cycle
The operation of this cycle is described in the section "Air change management". Similarly to what happens in the
sterilisation/oxygenation and smoking cycles (see previous sections), the relative key will become one of 3 colours to indicate the
activation, deactivation or pausing of the function/output.
5.4.5 Manual defrosting
Pressing the appropriate key sets off the manual defrosting cycle. There is also an automatic defrosting cycle which is active at intervals
during all the automatic and manual phases. Similarly to what happens in the sterilisation/oxygenation and smoking cycles (see
previous sections), the relative key will become one of 3 colours to indicate the activation, deactivation or pausing of the
function/output.
5.4.6 Light on/off
This manually switches the light on/off. The switching on/off of the light can also be associated with the digital door switch input status.
Similarly to what happens in the sterilisation/oxygenation and smoking cycles (see previous sections), the relative key will become a
different colour to indicate the activation or deactivation of the function/output (without the orange output status “paused").

6 MAIN FUNCTIONS
6.1 Manual cycle
This area grants access to a manual product conservation/aging cycle.
First a setting screen for the values will be displayed (the last values set for a manual cycle will be given) and, once they have been
confirmed, the manual cycle will start.
After a modification the settings will be saved provided that:
• an immediate START
• pressure on button saving data if the start is not immediate. Note: pressure on button "<" without
saving data will cancel the modifications.
When setting a manual cycle, the "cabinet restart", "final holding", "final air change" and "duration" functions are disabled and cannot
be enabled.
The following screen appears during the manual cycle.
The top bar indicates the status of the main regulation outputs/status (hot / cold / humidification / dehumidification / ventilation /
defrosting status), any alarm in progress (an alarm icon is always given with the description) and the current time-date.
At the top, above the temperature, the word AGING is displayed every 5 sec (if in progress), alternating with the name of the special
cycle in progress. The count-up of the elapsed time from the beginning of the manual cycle will be shown.
By pressing the key or the whole area of the T and RH display (with a resolution of 0.1°C for the temperature), the setpoint
settings screen for the cycle in progress will appear.
If the pH value is enabled from parameter, it is shown in read-only form (to two decimal points) under the relative humidity value.
The area under the temperature indicates:
- the remaining time needed to finish the "special cycle" in progress. Special cycles are: rest cycle, air change cycle, smoking cycle,
sterilisation/oxygenation cycle.
- the type of cycle in progress (manual / automatic / name of programme), which may be replaced by the code of an alarm if in
progress.

EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
N.B.: duration settings cannot be made in the manual cycle, it can only be stopped manually by pressing the key .
6.2 Automatic cycle
6.2.1 Start-up and interruption of an automatic cycle
This area grants access to the following screen where a complete aging cycle can be set, phase by phase:
The automatic cycle starts up when the area is pressed and it terminates automatically at the end of the last set phase, at
which time a buzzer sounds.
The cycle can be interrupted manually during any phase by holding the key down for 4 seconds.
N.B.: the final holding phase is optional (it must be enabled during the general set-up of the cycle) and duration settings cannot
be made in it, so if it is enabled, it can only be stopped manually by pressing the key .

6.2.2 Setting/Making changes to an automatic cycle
Before starting up a cycle, it is possible to consult and modify the settings of each of the stages in the aging cycle.
Once OK has been pressed each time to confirm the changes, these will be saved and used as the settings for the automatic cycle
which is started up:
• by pressing the area
• saving with button
• premendo the modifications will not be saved unless when starting the cycle.
The CYCLE END icon is displayed on the bottom left of the screen: it indicates the day and time for the end of the aging cycle,
which is the sum of times set for each individual phase. The date and time of the end of the cycle have no significance as far as the
programme being set is concerned, they are just a reference for the user.
6.2.3 Saving an automatic cycle
To save the set cycle before it is started up, press the icon at the top left of the screen: scroll through the pages of the recipe book
with the list of recipes using the or keys and choose the desired position in which to save the recipe, giving it a new name
or overwriting an existing recipe. When the operation has been completed, press the key to confirm.
6.3 Recipe book
This area grants access to the MY RECIPES screen listing the automatic/manual aging cycles saved with the name by the user, following
the procedure described in the previous section 6.2.3. Users can save up to 10 recipes.
Press the name of the required recipe to gain direct access to the automatic cycle start-up page, from which it is possible to run a cycle
or enter the various phases to change the settings and to create a new recipe from it, which can also overwrite an existing recipe or
save it with a different name (see section 6.2.3).

7 REGULATIONS
7.1 Temperature regulation
Temperature regulation for all phases of the equipment is in the neutral zone in which two relative values are set one above and one
below the temperature setpoint, thus creating a zone inside which the loads for heating and cooling are not activated.
When the temperature rises above the neutral zone value beyond the threshold set by rC0 (cooling differential), the cooling loads are
activated until the temperature returns to the neutral zone value.
Similarly, when the temperature falls below the neutral zone value beyond the threshold set by rH0 (heating differential), the heating
loads are activated until the temperature returns to the neutral zone value.
7.1.1 Generating cooling
Cooling is generated by the refrigeration circuit installed in the equipment.
When cooling is required, the compressor output and the pump-down solenoid valve output (if enabled) are activated.
The evaporator fan operates continuously or in parallel with the compressor, according to how the parameters have been configured for
each phase and on the basis of the speed set for the phase in progress (single speed, double speed or proportional by the external
phase cutting module).
7.1.2 Generating heat
Heat is generated by a heater.
When heating is required, the heater output is activated, with the possibility of running a duty switch on/off cycle (set by parameters
rH6 and rH7), so as to limit the heating power if a very powerful heater is being used and thus avoid the cabinet overheating.
The evaporator fan operates continuously or in parallel with the heater output and on the basis of the speed set for the phase in
progress (single speed, double speed or proportional by the external phase cutting module).
For certain types of aging cycles, the end user can disable the heating control in the cabinet completely when entering the settings for
the cycle.
7.2 TEMPERATURE PRIORITY
If parameter "rU4=1" and the temperature goes outside the control band, the regulator stops dehumidifying using the compressor, in
order that the temperature can getthe SETPOINT, before dehumidifying again.
The minimum cabinet threshold temperature for humidity regulation is parameter rU14.
page 27 of 56
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
7.3 Humidity regulation
In all phases where this is required, the humidity is regulated with a humidity transducer enabled in the neutral zone in which two
values are set, one above and one below the humidity setpoint, thus creating a zone inside which the loads for humidification and
dehumidification are not activated.
When the humidity rises above the neutral zone value beyond the threshold set by rU5 (dehumidification differential), the
dehumidifying loads are activated and they remain active until the humidity returns to the neutral zone value.
Similarly, when the humidity falls below the neutral zone value beyond the threshold set by rU8 (humidification differential), the
humidifying loads are activated proportionally and they remain active until the humidity returns to the neutral zone value.
If the humidity setpoint is set to OFF for one phase, humidity control is disabled for the entire phase (the humidity value in the cabinet
will be displayed however).
NB.: for managing humidity without a transducer, see section 8.7.
7.3.1 Humidification management
Humidification is managed by two different loads: a humidity generator output and a humidifier output (if enabled by parameter).
If parameter E12 is set at 0, the steam generator output remains active during the phases for which humidification management is
required. The humidifier output, on the other hand, is only activated when the humidity value inside the cabinet falls below the neutral
zone value (set by parameter rU9) beyond the threshold set by parameter rU8 (humidification differential). The humidifier output
activation time percentage is proportional to the humidity value compared to the proportional humidification band value set by
parameter rU10. The activation/deactivation cycle time of the humidification output is set by parameter rU11, while the duration of
activation is calculated on the basis of the time set by rU12.
page 28 of 56
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
If parameter E12 is set at 1, the generator output will only be active when the humidity falls below the neutral zone value (set by
parameter rU9) beyond the threshold set by rU8 (humidification differential). However, the humidifier output is activated in on/off
cycles when required, always starting at the off time, to allow the steam generator to be ready to generate humidity.
7.3.2 Dehumidification management
Dehumidification can be managed in two different ways: using an extractor fan/dehumidifier (u4=0) or by activating the refrigeration
plant (u4=1).
When being managed by an extractor fan/dehumidifier, the output will be activated when the humidity rises above the dehumidification
neutral zone value (parameter rU6) beyond the threshold set by parameter rU5 (dehumidification differential) and it is deactivated
when the humidity returns to within the dehumidification neutral zone value.
The compressor works in the same way if pump-down solenoid valve management is not enabled (parameter u1=1).
If pump-down solenoid valve management is enabled (parameter u1=0), there will be a first attempt at dehumidification by activating
the solenoid valve for a time set by parameter rU7, in an attempt to make use of the high pressure generated during pump-down when
the compressor is switched off. Once this time has elapsed, the compressor output will also be activated if further dehumidification is
required.
Once the humidity returns to within the dehumidification neutral zone value, the pump-down solenoid valve will be deactivated, after
which the compressor will be deactivated by the pump-down algorithm.

EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
8 LOAD MANAGEMENT
8.1 Compressor management
Activation of the compressor depends on the length of the delay between two switch-ons (parameter C1), on the minimum duration of
the compressor-off time (parameter C2), on the delayed switch-on of the compressor from the device power-on (parameter C0) and on
the minimum duration of the compressor-on time (parameter C3).
The compressor can also be active during a hot gas defrost (parameter d1 = 1). In this situation, in order for the defrost to start, the
compressor must be active for at least the time set by parameter d15.
The compressor can also be used for dehumidification, for more details see section 8.8.2.
The compressor switch-off is managed differently if management of the pump-down solenoid valve is required. For more details see the
next section.
8.2 Pump-down management
If an output is configured as a pump-down solenoid valve, the controller will manage the interaction between the compressor output
and the solenoid valve output as follows:
With timed pump-down (parameter i6 = 0 or 1):
When the compressor is activated, the pump-down solenoid valve will be activated in parallel.
The deactivation of the compressor will be preceded by deactivation of the pump-down solenoid valve. After the time set by u2 the
compressor output will also be deactivated.
With pump-down managed by digital input LP (parameter i6 = 2):
When the compressor is activated, the pump-down solenoid valve will be activated in parallel.
The deactivation of the compressor will be preceded by deactivation of the pump-down solenoid valve. The compressor will then be
switched off by the action of digital input LP.
If there is no action of the digital input LP within the maximum time set by u2, the compressor will be deactivated and the PUMP DOWN
alarm will be activated. Any HIGH PRESSURE alarm will turn off the compressor regardless of the pump-down management.
If pump-down is managed by digital input LP, each time the compressor and solenoid valve output are switched on, a re-arm time will
be loaded for digital input LP (parameter i9). When the compressor is switched off, the status of digital input LP will not be affected.
8.3 Evaporator fan management
The evaporator fan is managed based on parameter F0:
- in single speed mode by a digital output
- in double speed mode by two HIGH SPEED and LOW SPEED digital outputs
- with proportional speed set by the user by the analogue output PWM (to be teamed with the phase cutting module EVDFAN1)
The evaporator fan can be configured during the phases of an automatic cycle to work continuously or in parallel with the regulation
output, that being in parallel with the compressor, heater, humidification and dehumidification. The way it behaves is set by parameter
F1.
It is possible to select a different operating mode for the fan for the final holding phase and during manual operation (parameter F4).
It is also possible to set a regulation output delay at the fan deactivation using parameter F13 and a duty-cycle with a cycle time and
On time set by parameters F14 and F15 during deactivation of the main load. If parameters F14 and F15 are set to zero, there will be
no activation.
The duty cycle set by parameters F14 and F15 is also valid during THE PRODUCT REST PHASES, to prevent stratification of the air in
the cabinet.
During refrigeration phases, the fan will only be active when the evaporator temperature is below the value set by parameter F25.
If the evaporator fan is being managed by a two-speed fan output (HIGH-LOW) or analogue output PWM, it will also be possible to set
the fan speed for each phase.
When it is managed by PWM, when the fan is switched on the controller manages its speed (F21) and a start-up time (F22). When the
start-up phase ends, the fan speed will keep to the speed set for the phase in progress, compensated between parameters F23 and F24
that set the minimum and maximum fan speed respectively.
During a defrost cycle the fan is in OFF mode. At the end of the defrost cycle, the evaporator fan will remain off for the drip time set by
parameter d7 and the subsequent evaporator fan-stop time set by parameter F12.
Evaporator fan calibration procedure managed by the TDF module:
page 30 of 56
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
To adapt the phase-cutting regulation (T.D.F.) to all types of 230 VAC single-phase motors, a manual evaporator fan calibration
procedure is recommended.
1. Set F23 at 0% and F24 at 100%.
2. Carry out a manual cycle and vary the fan speed, check the minimum percentage below which the fan switches off and
the maximum percentage above which the fan runs at maximum.
3. Set these values for F23 and F24 respectively.
8.3.1 MODULATING VENTILATION ACCORDING TO THE STATUS
If F5=1 it is possible to associate a specific speed to the ventilation, according to the regulation status:
REGULATION STATUS Value % ventilation output
Cool request F6
Heat request F7
Pause regulation (no heating, no cooling, no
humidification, no dehumidification)
Humidification
Humidification F10
De- Humidification F11
F8
F9=0 set fix value F10
F9=1 modulating ramp between values
the humidity value to the threshold ru9 (in pause F8)
and the speed value F10 to the threshold rU8
8.4 Defrost management
Defrost is active during all the operating phases (both automatic and manual cycles) and can be either automatic (time intervals) or
manual. Manual defrost can be activated by accessing the relevant menu on the On/stand-by screen by pressing the key or during
a cycle, by the MANUAL DEFROSTING key on the lower part of the screen.
Depending on the value of parameter d1, the machine will perform either electric or hot gas defrost cycles.
If the evaporator probe is enabled (parameter P3=1), the defrost will end when it reaches the end-of-defrost temperature (parameter
d2) within a maximum time interval set by parameter d3. If the evaporator probe is not enabled (P3=0) or if it is out of order, defrost
will end at the time set by parameter d3.
At the end of a defrost cycle, the controller will allocate a drip time (d7) during which all the regulation outputs will be switched off.
When the dripping time finishes, the refrigeration plant will begin working again but activation of the evaporator fan will be further
delayed by the time set by parameter F12.
If a hot gas defrost is being carried out, in order for the defrost to start, the compressor must be activated for at least the time set by
parameter d15.
8.5 Heater management
When heat is required, the heater output will be activated, also making it possible to manage a switch-on and off duty-cycle controlled
by parameters rH6 and rH7.
8.6 Steam generator output management
Management of the steam generator load (if enabled) depends on the setting of parameter E12.
If E12=0: the steam generator output remains active during all the phases in which cabinet humidification is required.
If E12=1: the steam generator output is active when the setting requires humidification
8.7 Humidifier output management
The humidifier load (if enabled) can be managed with or without the use of a humidity transducer (parameter rU0) and it varies
according to the type of humidifier selected (parameter E12).
page 31 of 56
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
8.7.1 Managing the humidifier output without a transducer (rU0 = 1, E12 = 0 or 1)
In this situation, the humidifier output will remain active for a duty-cycle that varies according to the humidity setpoint for the phase in
progress.
The output activation and deactivation duration is set by parameter rU2 (humidification cycle time) and the maximum humidification
time needed to obtain 100% humidity within the cabinet (rU3).
The humidification switch-on/off times will be proportional on the basis of the humidity setpoint percentage according to parameter rU3,
and they will be repeated for every cycle time set by rU2.
8.7.2 Managing the humidifier output with a transducer and a humidifier with a steamer (rU0 = 0, E12 =
0)
The humidifier output is activated when the humidity value inside the cabinet falls below the neutral zone value (rU9) beyond the
threshold set by the humidification differential (rU8).
The duration of the humidifier output activation is proportional to the humidity value compared to the proportional humidification band
value set by parameter rU10.
Parameter rU11 sets the cycle time, while parameter rU12 represents the time base used to calculate the output activation duration.
8.7.3 Managing the humidifier output with a transducer and an instant generation humidifier (rU0 = 0,
E12 = 1)
The humidifier output is activated when the humidity value inside the cabinet falls below the neutral zone value (rU9) beyond the
threshold set by the humidification differential (rU8) performing off/on cycles, the duration being set by parameters rU15 and rU16. The
count always starts from the off time.
8.8 Dehumidification management
Dehumidification management is only active when humidity is managed by a humidity transducer (rU0 = 0 or 2).
Dehumidification can be managed in two different ways: using an extractor fan (parameter u4) or by activating the refrigeration plant
(compressor and pump-down solenoid valve if present).
8.8.1 Management using an extractor fan/dehumidifier
When managed by an extractor fan/dehumidifier, the output will be activated when the humidity rises above the dehumidification
neutral zone value (rU6) plus the differential value (rU5) and it is deactivated when the humidity returns to within the dehumidification
neutral zone value.
8.8.2 Management by activating the refrigeration plant
If, however, pump-down solenoid valve management is enabled, there will be a first attempt at dehumidification by activating the
pump-down solenoid valve (to make use of the high pressure generated when the compressor is switched off), for a time period set by
rU7. After this time has elapsed, the compressor output will be activated.
Once the humidity returns to within the dehumidification neutral zone value, the pump-down solenoid valve will be deactivated, after
which the compressor will be deactivated by the pump-down algorithm.
If the pump-down solenoid valve management is not enabled, the compressor will be activated and will stay on until the humidity
returns to within the dehumidification neutral zone value.
8.9 Condenser fan management
If the condenser probe is enabled (parameter P4 = 1), the condenser fan will activate when the condenser temperature rises above the
value of parameter F16 plus the differential value (F16 + 2.0 °C / 4 °F), regardless of compressor status.
The condenser fan will switch off when the condenser temperature falls below the value of parameter F16.
If the condenser probe is disabled (parameter P4 = 0), the condenser fan will activate in parallel with the compressor, while
deactivation will be delayed for the time set by parameter F17.
During CONDENSER OVERHEAT or COMPRESSOR LOCKED alarm, the condenser fan will stay on.
During defrost the fans will be switched off.
8.10 Cabinet light management
The cabinet light will switch-on/off by opening/closing the door or by pressing the key while manual and/or automatic cycles are
being carried out.
page 32 of 56
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 539 M & L | Installer manual ver. 2.0 | Code 144VC539E204
8.11 Air change fan management
The air change fan can be activated automatically and manually depending on the user’s choice when setting the working cycle.
For phases in which NO automatic air change is required (only manual), the activation interval should be set to MANUAL (the equivalent
of 0).
If the user also wishes to deactivate the MANUAL air change, the air change duration should be set to OFF (the equivalent of 0) for the
desired phase.
8.12 Sterilisation/oxygenation management
The manufacturer parameter "u1" enables the output to be associated with the STERILISER or OXYGENATOR load (with the relevant
icon).
By pressing the relevant key, the end user can manually activate the load, establishing the:
a) duration of the function (consisting of a sequence of Ton + Toff; duration in hh:mm with value 0 = UP TO
MANUAL STOP)
b) activation time (Ton in seconds)
c) switch-off time (Toff in seconds); when the switch-off time is set to 0 seconds, the output will be continuously active for
the whole duration set by the user).
If the aging cycle goes into the rest or air change phase, the sterilisation/oxygenation cycle is paused.
If the door is opened, if there is a defrosting cycle or if the evaporator fan is deactivated, the sterilisation cycle will be SUSPENDED and
will resume when the evaporator fan is reactivated.
If the aging cycle finishes, the sterilisation/oxygenation cycle is stopped.
The STERILISATION output is only activated when the EVAPORATOR FAN IS ACTIVATED.
Temperature and humidity are regulated regularly. All the other outputs can be activated/deactivated.
8.13 Smoker management
By pressing the relevant key, the end user can manually activate the load, establishing the duration of the function (duration in hh:mm
with value 0 = UP TO MANUAL STOP)
If the aging cycle changes phase, the smoking cycle is stopped. If the aging cycle goes into the rest or air change phase, the smoking
cycle is paused.
If the door is opened or there is a defrosting cycle, the smoking cycle will be SUSPENDED and will resume when the door is closed after
the defrosting cycle.
If the aging cycle finishes, the smoking cycle is stopped. When the cycle is terminated, it is not possible to launch a smoking cycle.
Temperature and humidity are regulated regularly. All the other outputs can be activated/deactivated.
8.14 Alarm output management
The alarm output is activated/deactivated according to the value of parameter A5 when there is an alarm situation. It is
activated/deactivated once the alarm situation has disappeared.

9 MANAGEMENT OF EQUIPMENT WITH HEAT PUMP
9.1 Food processing rooms with heat pump
The controller has a special operating mode for equipment with a heat pump, which can be enabled by setting parameter
E16 = 1
When the heat pump mode is enabled, the controller always uses the refrigeration plant for cabinet cooling (and dehumidification)
requests, whereas it uses the coupled compressor + 4-way valve for cabinet heating requests.
Parameter u3 establishes the delay between the activation/deactivation of the 4-way valve in relation to the deactivation/activation of
the compressor.
If the operating mode is enabled with the heat pump in the SERVICE menu, a new menu is enabled called "EQUIPMENT
CONFIGURATION" (protected by password -19) which contains the following configuration matrix:
Using the matrix, it is possible to decide the operating logic of up to 7 different VALVES (from V1 to V7) according to the different
machine status during the aging cycle.
EXAMPLE
Valve 1 is:
ON during a cooling request
OFF during a heating request
OFF during a dehumidification request
OFF during a humidification request
ON during a defrosting request
ON during a special air change cycle
OFF during a special rest cycle
OFF during a pause between two phases (new parameter to insert)
OFF when both the temperature and humidity values are within the neutral zone value.
If E16 = 1, each of the VALVES from V1 to V7 can be associated with a relay output from K1 to K13.
If the operating mode is enabled with the heat pump, the parameters from u01c to u13c increase their maximum settable value from
17 to 23, including the 7 CONFIGURABLE VALVES.

11 EPOCA CLOUD PLATFORM
EPoCA is a remote monitoring system based on a cloud platform. All that is needed is a simple onsite Wi-Fi internet connection to
enable the controller, using EVlink Wi-Fi module, to connect to the cloud system, making it possible to remotely manage equipment
from a PC, tablet or smartphone.
The responsive design and the graphic interface conceived to provide a pleasant user experience make EPoCA a ready-to-use solution
for easily accessible monitoring operations, even for entry-level users, while offering all the typical functions of professional platforms.
With appropriate protection measures for access and data, the system makes it possible for one or more enabled users to operate
remotely on the unit to configure its parameters, view HACCP data (also in graphic form) and to download records in the most popular
formats, such as XLSX, CSV and PDF. The functions playing a key role include alarm warnings sent automatically by the system to
selected e-mail addresses.
Schematic diagram:
