12. Regulation

After a power on is possible to delay the loads regulation setting C01 parameter.
The type of the probes can be selected by C05 parameter:
 C05=PTC PTC probes are used
 C05=NTC NTC probes are used

The unit of measure of the temperature can be:

 C06=°C temperatures are showed in °C
 C06=°F temperatures are showed in °F

For °C visualization it is possible to choose if the temperature has to be showed with decimal point or not:
 C07=DE temperatures are showed with decimal point
 C07=°F temperatures are showed without decimal point

12.1 Compressor

The compressor is used to maintain the set point temperature (S01 parameter).
It is possible to set a minimum OFF time (parameter C02) to avoid consecutive short cycles of the compressor.
If the regulation probe is faulty, the compressor will run with ON/OFF cycles defined by C03 and C04 parameters.

1592022800 IC70CX EN r.1.0 12.10.2015 IC70CX Pag. 8 of 24

12.2 Heaters

Heaters can be used to integrate the compressor to produce hot water; to the compressor contribution is possible to add
electrical heaters contribution if the boiler temperature falls below a determined value set by parameter.

1592022800 IC70CX EN r.1.0 12.10.2015 IC70CX Pag. 9 of 24

12.3 Compressor and heaters regulation in relation to ambient temperature

It is possible to set an ambient temperature (parameter S08) under witch the heaters, if not previously ON, are switched ON.
It is also possible to switch OFF the compressor if the ambient temperature falls below a determined temperature (parameter
S10).

12.4 How to disable the compressor

It is possible to disable the compressor pressing key for 3 seconds.

If the heaters are available, they are used to substitute the compressor.
If the compressor is disabled, it remains in that state also after a power off.

12.5 Fan

Fan operation mode can be set by F01 parameter:

 F01 = C_n fan runs with the compressor, OFF in defrost
 F01 = o_n fan always ON, OFF in defrost
 F01 = C_Y fan runs with the compressor, ON in defrost
 F01 = o_Y fan always ON, ON in defrost

1592022800 IC70CX EN r.1.0 12.10.2015 IC70CX Pag. 10 of 24

It is possible to switch off the fan if evaporator temperature falls below “F02” (Temperature to stop fan).
It is possible to set a delay to restart the fan after a defrost with the parameter “F03”.

12.6 Anti legionella cycle

The Anti-Legionella cycle is a procedure used to eliminate legionella bacteria; during the cycle the water temperature is
increased to S12 set point for a period of time defined by parameter S16 (expressed in tens of minutes).

Anti-legionella cycle can be activeted:

 At Power-On: if the parameter S14=y, the cycle is activated every time the instrument is switched on.
 Manually: by pressing key for 3 seconds it is possible to activate/deactivate antilegionella cycle.
 Day of the week: internal clock is used (clock has to work correctly). The cycle is activated once a week (day
can be set by S17 parameter) at a determined hour (parameter S15) and the temperature will be maintained for
S16 time. If the internal clock goes on error during anti legionella cycle, the cycle ends when S16 time is
elapsed.
Time S16 starts counting when the water temperature reach S12 set point.

To start the cycle is necessary:

a. the instrument mustn’t be on alarm
b. the instrument mustn’t be OFF (stand-by)
c. a relay has to be configured as heaters
d. S16 parameter has to be bigger than zero
e. S17 parameter has to be set different to “nu” (not used)

12.6.1 Anti legionella cycle operation mode

During anti-Legionella cycle the operation mode is the following:
 if boiler temperature is lower than compressor set point, only the compressor is switched on
 if boiler temperature is between compressor set point and anti legionella set point (S12 > boiler temperature >
S01), only heaters are switched on. Differential of regulation is S02 for both set point (compressor and anti
legionella)
 if boiler temperature is higher than anti legionella set point, both compressor and heaters are off

1592022800 IC70CX EN r.1.0 12.10.2015 IC70CX Pag. 11 of 24

12.6.2 Anti-legionella time out alarm
When the cycle starts, the controller activates the compressor or the heaters until the temperature reaches the set point
value legionella.
If the compressor can not be activated because an alarm block it, the heaters are switched on to substitute the compressor.
When the anti legionella cycle starts, a maxim time to reach the set point starts counting; if the set is not reached within this
time, the message "LGn" is showed and the cycle is interrupted.
The alarm can be silenced and removed by pressing a button.

12.7 Defrost
To disable the defrost set parameter d05=0.
Three defrost operation mode are selectable:
 d01=EL defrost with electrical heaters (compressor OFF in defrost and dripping time)
 d01=in hot gas defrost (compressor On in defrost and OFF during dripping time)
 d01=Cr reversing gas cycle defrost

Defrost is done by interval time set by d03 parameter; if d06>0, the defrost is delayed by this time.
The defrost lasts maximum d05 time; when d05 time is elapsed and the defrost is still ongoing, it ends.
If d05=0, the defrost is disabled.
During defrost the high and lower temperature alarm (HA and LA) are disabled; after defrost the alarms detection restart after
20 minutes (time fixed and not modifiable).
After the defrost the dripping time starts and lasts d07 time.

1592022800 IC70CX EN r.1.0 12.10.2015 IC70CX Pag. 12 of 24

12.7.1 Defrost visualization
It is possible to chooose what to visualize during defrost and dripping time.
If d08=it (visualization of the temperature measured when the defrost starts) it valid only if C02=P1 or C02=dtr,
otherwise the display shows actual temperature.

Defrost visualization:
parameter d08 = rt default temperature visualization (parameter C22)
parameter d08= it default temperature when defrost is started
parameter d08= SEt set point visualization
parameter d08= dEF “dEF” label visualization

Dripping time visualization:

parameter d08= rt default temperature visualization (parameter C22)
parameter d08= it = SEt = dEF default temperature when defrost is started

Visualization during d06 start defrost delay time:

parameter d08= rt default temperature visualization (parameter C22)
parameter d08= it = SEt = dEF default temperature when defrost is started

12.7.2 Reversing gas cycle defrost

When the defrost starts, the sequence is as follows:

• Step1: the compressor and the fans are turned off (if not already turned off due to normal regulation)
• Step2: the 4-way valve (defrost relay) is activated after d11 seconds (counted from Step 1)
• Step 3: the compressor is turned on after d11 seconds (counted from Step 2); the fans follow the behavior given by
parameter F01
The defrosting process continues as standard setting.

End defrost:
• Step1: when the end defrost conditions are satisfied, the compressor is switched off
• Step 2: the 4-way valve (defrost relay) is switched off after d11 seconds (counted from Step 1)
• Step 3: after further d11 seconds the controller will return to the heating mode
The counting of time between two defrosts is reset.

The drawing below shows the status of the loads if F01=C-n.

1592022800 IC70CX EN r.1.0 12.10.2015 IC70CX Pag. 13 of 24

12.7.3 Particular conditions
If during defrosting the user sets the instrument OFF, defrosting continues and only at the end of the same the instrument will
turn off.
In case of generating alarms during the defrost cycle, if the alarm causes the compressor switching off the defrost will be
stopped.
The alarm pressure switch is inhibited for 1 minute after defrosting.

12.7.4 Manual start defrost

It is possible to start the defrost pressing key for 2 seconds.
In case of manual defrost procedure, the d06 delay is not considered.

13. Alarms
Temperature alarms:
 can be absolute or relative to the set point (selection by parameter A01)
 it is possible to choose the reference probe (parametrs A02 and A10)
 alarm signalling can be delayed by A06 and A14 parameters
 compressor and heater can be switched off in case of temperature alarm (parametrs A07, A08, A16 and A17)
 tempereature alarm detection can be delayed at the power by A09 and A15 parameters
Temperature alarm detection is disabled in the following cases:
 delay at power on (parameter C01)
 defrost, dripping time or anti legionella cycle on going
 for 20 minutes after the defrost
