In case of applications in industrial environments, the use of mains filters (our mod. FT1) in parallel FnC=C-y fans will switch ON and OFF with the compressor and run during defrost;
with inductive loads could be useful. FnC=O-y fans will run continuously also during defrost

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 6. FREZING –PROVING CYCLE

The XH460L, 38x185 format, is a microprocessor controller, designed for freezing and proving cabinets-
units. It controls both humidity and temperature. It has 6 output relays to control compressor, heating
elements, defrost, fan de-humidifier and humidifier. It has 2 NTC inputs one for thermostat the other one
for defrost. It’s also present a 4÷20mA input for humidity. There is one digital input (free contact)
configurable by parameter. An output allows the user to programme the parameter list with the “Hot
Key”.

3. TEMPERATURE REGULATION FREEZING PROVING HOLDING

The temperature regulation is performed through neutral zone using compressor and heater output (optional)
relays.

12.1 HOW TO PROGRAM A HOT KEY FROM THE INSTRUMENT (UPLOAD)
1. Program one controller with the front keypad. Supply 115Vac: 14-15 terminals
2. When the controller is ON, insert the “Hot key” and push o key; the "uPL" message appears
followed a by flashing “End” 16. DEFAULT SETTING VALUES
3. Push “SET” key and the End will stop flashing.
4. Turn OFF the instrument remove the “Hot Key”, then turn it ON again. Set temperature Set humidity Duration
Freezing Phase 5.0 °C 50.0 RH% 5.00 h
NOTE: the “Err” message is displayed for failed programming. In this case push again o key if you want Proving Phase 5.0 °C 50.0 RH% 5.00 h
to restart the upload again or remove the “Hot key” to abort the operation.
