OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 5 1.2.7.6 Digital input polarity The polarity of the digital input depends on the parameter : =: active on contact closed; =: active on contact open. 1.3 Compressor The compressor relay is activated to maintain a set temperature as established by the set point. Hysteresis is added automatically to the set point. If the temperature increases and reaches the set point plus hysteresis value, the compressor is activated, to then be shut down when the temperature returns to the set point value.. Temperature SET + HY SET Time Compressor ON In the event of a probe fault, activation and deactivation of the compressor output are managed according to time intervals set via the parameters and. These parameters are set by default at 0. When one of these values is modified the support variable is set to 1. 1.3.1 Compressor operating hours alarm The controller memorizes the compressor operating hours. It is also possible to set a threshold value for the operating hours in the relative parameter. When the operating hours exceed the set threshold, an alarm message is displayed to notify the user of the need for prompt routine maintenance intervention (alarm ). The alarm message does not shut down the unit. On completion of routine maintenance, the operator must reset the compressor operating hour counter timers.
