Password and visibility
14
To view parameters visible for the given password, open folder PASS (in the Parameters menu PAR) and set the level
1 value (set in parameter UI20) or level 2 value (set in parameter UI21).
The visibility of the parameters and the folders during menu navigation can be configured by assigning appropriate
values to each parameter and folder. This operation can only be performed using suitable software (Param manager
or other communication SW).
The visibility levels are:
• Value 0 = Parameter or folder not visible.
• Value 1 = installer level; These parameters can only be viewed by entering the Password 1 value (all parameters
specified as always visible and parameters that are visible at the installation level will be visible).
• Value 2 = manufacturer level; These parameters can only be viewed by entering the Password 2 value (all
parameters specified as always visible, parameters that are visible at the installation level, and manufacturer
level parameters will be visible).
• Value 3 = parameter or folder always visible.
Accessing and using the menus

Resources are organised into menus and viewed by briefly tapping the “set” key (“Machine state” menu) or by
keeping the “set” key pressed for more than 5 seconds (“Programming” menu). Press the "set" key once to view the
contents of any folder highlighted by the corresponding label. At this point it is possible to scroll through the
contents of any folder, editing it or using the functions envisaged for it. Either do not press any keys for 15 seconds
(time-out) or press the “fnc” key once, to cancel the parameter modifications and return to the previous screen.
WARNING:Not all of the parameters are visible if the 1 or 2 level password has not been previously entered.
Machine state menu

From the states menu you can view values for each resource.
Some of the resources have “dynamic” visibility, e.g. if there are no alarms present then the AL folder will not be
displayed.

With digital compressors it is also possible to define the number of power stages by setting parameters CP23, CP24
and CP25:
1=whole compressor
CP23 Number of compressor steps 1 1 4
≠1= CP23 - 1 is the number of Power stages.
1= whole compressor
≠1= CP24 - 1 is the capacity step
1= whole compressor
2= the number of Power stages is 1
Regulation is proportional as a function of the inlet probe (temperature or pressure control).
In the case of pressure regulation, probe AI3 must be used (high resolution probe).
In local or remote OFF the compressors are switched off.
The compressors and/or relative Power stages can be directly connected to the controller via the Triac output or relay
or indirectly connected via an external module (connected to controller via an PWM or analogue output):
• Direct Triac TC output.
• Indirect “PWM” output AO1, AO2 (needs external module for piloting the inverter compressor).
• Indirect 4..20mA / 0..20mA / 0..10Vcc output AO3 (needs external module for piloting inverter compressor).
• Relay output for piloting digital compressors (whole or segmented).
One or more digital inputs can be configured as compressor block inputs:
• Digital inputs DI1…DI7.
25
• Analogue inputs AI3 …AI4 if configured as digital inputs.
Inverter compressor control
The operating mode depends on parameter ST02. Cold mode St02=1. Hot mode St02=0.
The inverter compressor control is proportional as a function of the inlet probe value.
The following diagram indicates the compressor speed as a function of the regulation probe in the case of regulation
with lateral set point (St01=1). In the case of central set point (St01=0), the proportional band is centred in the set
point:

A Minimum cut-off
B Saturation cut-off
Parameters CP08 (enable minimum cut-off) and CP09 (enable saturation cut-off) activate or deactivate the cut-off
function. Note that, if the minimum cut-off is disabled, the speed of the inverter compressor goes from 0 to the
minimum speed when the regulation probe reaches the set point from "below". If the regulation probe reaches the
26
set point from “above”, the speed will go from minimum speed to 0. Similarly if the saturation cut-off is disabled, the
speed of the inverter compressor goes from continuous regulation to maximum speed when the regulation probe
reaches Set point+Proportional Band from "below”. If the regulation probe reaches Setpoint+Proportional Band from
"above" there will be continuous regulation between maximum and minimum speed.
In the event of a regulation probe error, the inverter compressor will be piloted at the speed set by parameter
CP21.
Digital compressor control

The regulator calculates the number of refrigeration resources required by the system through a policy of assigning
resources selectable with parameter CP10 (Activation policy).
Activating or deactivating power steps must respect the activation and release times for resources CP15 and CP16
which are loaded on activation/release.
In alarm conditions, (e.g. due to the intervention of a compressor block) any reduction in power required is
calculated immediately. however, the power make-up must always keep to the time intervals described above,
particularly the activation time of the CP15 resources.
The digital compressor control is stepped as a function of the inlet probe value.
The regulator activates a certain number of resources (power steps) to reach the Set point configured. The number of
resources required is linked to the difference between the value measured by the inlet probe and the set point;
Naturally, the greater this difference, the greater the number of resources required to reach the setpoint. The
temperature /pressure interval between activation of one power step and the next depends on the proportional band
and the number of resources present.
In the event of a regulation probe error, the number of active power steps is calculated as a percentage set at
parameter CP21 of the complete number of steps.
27
The following is an example of regulation with lateral set point (St01=1). In the case of central set point (St01=0) the
proportional band is deemed to be centred in the set point:

Compressor timing
The switching on and off of a compressor (inverter or digital) must meet the following requirements:
• Minimum time between switching off/on (parameter CP12). This is the minimum delay between switching off
and switching on;
• Minimum time between switching off/on (parameter CP14). This is the minimum delay between switching on
and switching off;
• Minimum time between switching off/on (parameter CP13). This is the minimum delay between switching on
and switching on again;
The activation and deactivation of power steps for digital compressors must respect the activation and release times
for resources (parameters CP15 and CP16).
28
Power stages
For a segmented compressor in which the number of steps corresponds to the number of segments plus one, the
segmentation actuation mode depends on parameter CP11.

Compressor switch-on policies
The selection policy that the inlet regulator applies in the distribution of the refrigerator resources is defined by
parameter CP10. The policies available are saturation, balancing and fixed sequence.
Parameter Description Min Max M./U. Notes
CP10 Activation Policy 0 2 Num 0= fixed sequence 1= balancing 2= saturation
The selection policies are based mainly on the hours of operation of the compressors.
29
They come into play when the regulator requests the activation/deactivation of a step. This request is then distributed
to the most suitable compressor according to the compressor selection policy selected using CP10.
Compressor saturation: The saturation policy distributes all resources equally over the smallest number of
compressors possible, so far as this is compatible with other requirements, such as: compressor safety timings. The
resulting allocation is intended to have the largest possible number of compressors switched off at any one time.
Compressor balancing: The balancing policy distributes all resources equally over the largest number of compressors
possible, so far as this is compatible with other requirements, such as compressor safety timings: The resulting
allocation is intended to have the greatest possible equalization of power output levels in the compressors at any one
time.
Fixed sequence compressors: The fixed sequence policy distributes all resources starting from the compressors with
the lowest index, so far as this is compatible with other requirements, such as compressor safety timings The resulting
allocation is such as to obtain, at any given time, a maximum delivery of the compressors with lower indexes.
Hours of use of compressors
The operating time of the compressors is stored every hour in EEPROM for the purpose of:
• Managing the compressor switch-on policies;
• Enabling the signalling of an alarm if the compressor operating hours exceed the maximum operating hours
threshold.
Parameter Description Min Max M./U.
CP17 Maximum hours of use for compressor 0 6500 Hours*10
The hours of use of each single compressor can be reset from the State menu.
Selecting/deselecting compressors
Each individual compressor can be selected from the State menu. Deselection of a compressor entails the following:
• The compressor availability is set to zero
• Zero setting of all its possible alarms
• Its alarms are not managed
30
Compressor block
Management of this alarm applies both to step compressors and to compressors with continuous regulation and is
active if the compressor is selected. The activation of this alarm blocks the compressors in use. In the case of step
compressors, the availability of another compressor is checked at the same time as the compressor block. If it is
available it will be selected depending on the policy (CP10) and immediately switched on.
CONDENSATION CONTROL
The device can be configured to manage an inverter fan or one or more homogenous digital fans (max. 4) by setting
parameter Fn25:
Para-
Description Min Max M./U Notes
meter
-1= no condensation.
0= continuous fan >0=Fn25
Fn25 Number of fans per step for fan coil -1 4 Num
represents the number of digital
fans.
By setting parameter Fn25=-1 it is also possible to define that the fan is absent (no condensation) and the relative
regulator will not be actuated. If a probe is configured as a temperature probe or outlet pressure probe, the
condensation regulation is proportional. In the case of pressure regulation, the AI4 probe must be used (low
resolution probe). If no outlet probe has been configured, the fans will be piloted by default depending on the
operating mode (Heat or Cool). In local or remote OFF the fans are switched off.
The fan can be directly connected to the controller via the Triac output or relay or indirectly connected via an
external module (connected to controller via a PWM or analogue output):
• Direct Triac TC output
• Indirect “PWM” output AO1, AO2 (needs external module for piloting fan).
• Indirect 4..20mA / 0..20mA / 0..10Vcc output AO3 (needs external module for piloting fan).
• Relay outputs
One or more digital inputs can be configured as fan thermal switch:
31
• Digital inputs DI1…DI7.
• Analogue inputs AI3 …AI4 if configured as digital inputs.
INVERTER COMPRESSOR CONTROL
Pick-up
Each time the fan starts, the exchanger fan is supplied at the maximum voltage level, hence the fan runs at the speed
established by parameter Fn23 (max. pick-up speed) for a time equal to the value set via parameter Fn13 (pick-up
time). After this time, the fan will continue at the speed set by the regulator. However if the regulator wants to turn
the ventilation off during the pick-up time, the fan will be switched off. The pick-up time will be reloaded at the next
start.
The speed specified by parameter Fn23 may be reached in one of two ways depending on the value of parameter
Fn12 (mode for reaching maximum pick-up speed):
• 0 = the regulator immediately sets the output proportional to the speed specified by parameter Fn23
and maintains this speed for the time specified by parameter Fn13.
• 1 = the regulator actuates the proportional output according to a ramp that allows the speed specified
by parameter Fn23 to be reached in the time specified by parameter Fn13.
If Fn13= 0, pick-up is disabled.

The regulation may be at central set or side set depending on parameter St01.
Regulation
If no condensation probe has been allocated (temperature or pressure), the fan ON/OFF switch will be controlled on
request from the compressor. When the fan is ON it is piloted at the speed set by parameter Fn24. If however a
condensation probe has been allocated, the fan control is proportional as a function of the condensation probe value.
The fan may be regulated independently from the compressor or at the request of the compressor depending on
parameter Fn10 (operation on request by compressor): If Fn10=0 then condensation is controlled independently
from the compressor, however if Fn10=1 then the fan is OFF when all of the compressors available are OFF. The
32
minimum cut-off is bypassed for the time specified by parameter Fn14 on start-up of the compressor. If the regulator
requests the cut-off during this period the fan is piloted at the minimum speed set by parameter Fn20.
Note: The cut-off does NOT force the fans to be switched on but only prevents them from being switched off. The
following diagram illustrates the fan speed as a function of the regulation probe in the case of regulation with lateral
set point (St01=1). In the case of central set point (St01=0), the proportional band is deemed to be centred in the set
point:

(°C/°F/Bar/Psi)
Fn06 Fn04 Fn03 Fn03 Fn04 06
Parameters Fn08 (enable minimum cut-off) and Fn09 (enable saturation cut-off) activate or deactivate the cut-off
function. Note that if the minimum cut-off is disabled, the speed of the fan goes from 0 to the minimum speed when
the regulation probe reaches the set point from “below”. If the regulation probe reaches the setpoint from “above”,
the speed will go from minimum speed to 0.
Similarly, if the saturation cut-off is disabled, the fan speed goes from continuous regulation to maximum silent speed
when the regulation probe reaches the Set Point+Proportional Band from "below”.
33
If the regulation probe reaches Set point+Proportional Band from "above", there will be continuous regulation
between maximum silent speed and minimum speed.
Inverter preventilation (cold mode only)
If parameter Fn10=1 (if the compressor is OFF, the fan is OFF) and Fn15<>0, the preventilation is also active. Before
the compressor is switched on, the fan is switched on for a time equal to Fn15; the fan speed is proportional to the
value of the regulation probe. However, if during this period the regulator requests the switching off of the fan, the
fan will be piloted at the minimum speed set by parameter Fn20. This is to avoid the compressor switching on when
the condensation probe values are excessively high. If, at the end the preventilation, the regulator does not request
fans, the fan is switched off immediately. The preventilation is reset if the right parameter conditions are present and
if the inlet request is zeroed and then returns (even if the request is cancelled by its alarm or the outlet alarm).
In the event of a regulation probe error, the fan ON/OFF switch will be controlled on request from the compressor.
When the fan is ON it is piloted at the speed set by parameter Fn24.
DIGITAL FAN CONTROL
Pick-up
On each activation request by the regulator, all of the exchanger fans are activated simultaneously for a time equal to
the value set using parameter Fn13 (pick-up time). After this time has elapsed, the fans will be piloted at the speed
set by the regulator. If, during the pick-up time, the regulator wants to turn the ventilation off, the fans will be
switched off. The pick-up time will be reloaded at the next start.
If Fn13= 0 the pick-up is disabled.
Activation and deactivation of power steps must respect the activation and release times for resources Fn16 and Fn17,
which are loaded at activation/release.
Regulation
If no condensation probe has been allocated (temperature or pressure), the fan ON/OFF switch will be controlled on
request from the compressor. During the ON phase, the number of fans switched on in respect to the number of
those present depends on the value set at parameter Fn24.
34
If however a condensation probe has been configured, the fan control is by steps as a function of the condensation
probe value.
The regulator activates a certain number of resources (power steps) to reach the Set point configured (Fn00). The
number of resources required is linked to the difference between the value measured by the condensation probe and
the set point; The greater this difference, the greater the number of resources required to reach the set point. The
temperature/pressure interval between application of one power step and the next depends on the proportional
band and the number of resources present.
The fan may be regulated independently from the compressor or at the request of the compressor, depending on
parameter Fn10 (compressor operation on request):
If Fn10=0 then the condensation control is independent of the compressor, if, however, Fn10=1 then the fan is off
when all of the compressors available are off.
The cut-off at minimum is bypassed for the time set at parameter Fn14 after the compressor is activated. If the
regulator requests the switching off of the fans during this time, the fans will be piloted at the minimum speed (1
step). The following is an example of regulation with lateral set point (St01=1). In the case of central set point
(St01=0), the proportional band is deemed to be centred in the set point:

Digital fan preventilation (cold mode only)

If the parameter Fn10=1 (if the compressor is OFF, the fan is OFF) and Fn15<>0, the preventilation function is active.
Prior to switching on the compressor, the fans will be activated for a time equal to Fn15; the number of fans activated
is proportional to the value of the regulation probe but is not less than 1. This is to avoid the compressor switching
on when the condensation probe values are excessively high.
If, at the end the preventilation, the regulator does not request fans, the fans are switched off immediately. The
preventilation is reset if the right parameter conditions are present and if the inlet request is zeroed and then returns
(even if the inlet request is cancelled by its alarm or the outlet alarm). In the event of a regulation probe error, the
fan ON/OFF switches will be controlled on request from the compressor. During the ON phase, the number of fans
switched on in respect to the number of those present depends on the value set at parameter Fn24.
Digital fans - rotation
36
In the case of step fans, rotation of the fans can be controlled during activation and release by means of parameter
Fn11. If Fn11=0 (fixed sequence), the activation sequence is fan 1, fan 2, ....fan n; The sequence is inverted during
deactivation, e.g. fan n..., fan 2, fan 1.
If Fn11=1 (operating hours), during activation the fan which worked the least is selected, while during deactivation
the fan which has worked the most is selected. The aim is to balance out the operating hours between all fans.
Maximum fans stop time
Parameter Fn18 indicates the maximum time for which the fans (continuous or digital) may remain off. Once this
time has elapsed, fan pick-up is forced for the time specified by Fn13.
If, during the pick up time, the compressors are switched on, the minimum cut-off bypass will not be respected at the
end of the pick-up time, and in the absence of a request by the fan regulator the fans will immediately be switched
off.
If, during the pick up time, preventilation is activated due to the compressors being switched on, it will remain active
for any remaining time after the end of the pick up time.
The function is disabled if Fn18=0 or if Fn13=0.
The time the fans are off is reinitialised each time the device is switched on.
Fan operating hours
The operating time of the fans is stored every hour in EEPROM for the purpose of:
• Managing the fan rotation function based on the operating duration.
• Enabling the signalling of an alarm if the fan operating hours exceed the maximum operating hours threshold.
Parameter Fn19 enables the maximum number of fan operating hours to be set.
The hours of use of each individual fan can be zeroed from the State menu.
37
Fans thermal switch
The intervention of the digital fan thermal protection is blocked for the correctly used fan.
If another fan is available it will be selected depending on the policy (Fn11) and immediately activated. The
contemporaneous intervention of the thermal protections of all of the digital fans causes an alarm which blocks the
machine.
In the case of fans with continuous control or digital fans in which a single common thermal fan has been configured,
the tripping of the thermal switch causes the machine to shut down.
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
On/off device
The activation/deactivation of the device used for controlling resources may be carried out via keyboard or digital
input.
• ON/OFF from keyboard: The device may be switched on or off using the keyboard from the Folder
Programming menu OP. This function is not active if the ON/OFF is configured via digital input (e.g. for DI5,
CF20=13). In OFF mode, the screen will display the word OFF.
• ON/OFF via Digital Input: If a digital or analogue input is configured for this function, the device state
depends on the input state. In OFF mode, the word OFF will flash on-screen. ON/OFF via keyboard is not
active.
Recording operating hours
The device records the operating hours of the compressors and fans; This data is visible in the Hr folder and is called
CP0n (nth compressor hours), Fn0n (nth fan hours).
For values lower than 9999 the entire value is displayed, for higher values the hours/100 are displayed and the
decimal point is activated. The maximum limit of recorded hours is 65535; once this value has been reached the
device will automatically reset the hour counter. The display is dynamic, e.g. only the hours of actually available
resources will be displayed. It is possible to set a maximum operating hours threshold, which generates an alarm as
soon as it is reached (for example, for compressor or fan maintenance)
The alarm does not cause the exclusion of the regulator resource, and is displayed on-screen with a code depending
on the resource that has exceeded the permitted operating hours. The alarm does not reset the operating hours.
38
The operating hours can be reset manually from the states menu, Hr folder; When displaying the hours of a
particular resource, press and hold the “set” key to zero the operating hours of the resource (and not those of
other resources).
Real Time Clock (RTC)
The device can be supplied with a clock which makes it possible to store the time at which alarm events occurred.
The parameter CF72 is used to activate/deactivate the clock.
The current time is set using the appropriate menu as shown in the navigation menu diagram; use the Set key to
confirm the value once the time and date have been modified. The value will only be saved on exiting the menu
(timeout or by pressing the Esc key).
Once the time is set, the instrument must be connected for several hours to fully charge the back-up battery.
The switch between legal/solar time is not automatic.
The device does not perform a real time control on the correctness of the date set; this means that it is
possible to set a non-existent date such as 30/02/2007 without the machine noticing.
ALARMS
The alarms can be one of 3 types:
Automatic reset alarm: alarm active if the cause of the alarm is present, otherwise not.
Manual reset alarm: alarm active if the cause of the alarm is present, if the cause of the alarm has ceased the alarm
can only be reset manually (by simultaneously pressing the UP and DOWN keys).
Semi-automatic alarm: Behaves like an automatic alarm as long as the number of events in the unit of time is less
than a certain value, otherwise like a manual alarm. The unit of time can be programmed using parameter AL00, the
number of responses can be individually programmed for each semi-automatic alarm.
Alarm events are stored with a time resolution of T=(AL00 *60)/32 seconds; multiple events occurring in period T are
counted as one single event.
Manual reset performed while an alarm cause is present does not enable the alarm to be reset.
It is possible to force the semi-automatic alarm to be considered only as an automatic alarm or a manual reset alarm,
by setting the appropriate number of alarm responses:
39
• If the number of responses=0, the alarm is managed as a manual reset alarm only. At the first response, the
alarm will become active and can be reset manually;
• If the number of responses=33 the alarm is managed as an automatic alarm only. At the first response, the
alarm becomes active but automatically resets when the cause has ceased;
A bypass time is defined for semi-automatic alarms and can be set by parameter. It allows the alarm signal to be
delayed, for example to enable the system to stabilise. If the bypass time = 0, the alarm response is immediate.

Silence and reset alarms
Alarm silencing consists of the forced deactivation of the output configured as an alarm and is performed by pressing
any key (in the presence of an alarm). Silencing has no effect on the alarm state, it only affects the signal itself; The
alarm LED, which is a fixed light in the presence of an alarm, becomes a flashing light when silenced. Alarm reset
consists of zeroing all pending manual reset alarms. This is done by simultaneously pressing the UP + DOWN keys. To
40
reset a manual reset alarm which is still active, the alarm must be first deactivated and then immediately re-entered.
This causes a new entry to be stored in the alarms log and resets the alarm relay (silenced by key).

SERIAL CONFIGURATION
All models are fitted with 1 TTL serial channel for:
o Copy card connection to upload/download parameters.
o Serial communication with personal computer via RS-232/TTL conversion modules.
The TTL serial - referred to as COM1 - can be used for:
• configuring parameters with the Param Manager software using the Eliwell protocol
• configuring parameters and monitoring with Televis Net software using the Eliwell or Modbus protocol PC
Interface connection modules are required.
• configuring device parameters, states, and variables with the Modbus via the Modbus protocol
For selection of the protocol and setting of the device address, see the following table:
Parameter Description Value
CF54 Select COM1 (TTL) protocol 0 = Eliwell 1= Modbus
CF55 Eliwell protocol controller address
0…14
CF56 Eliwell protocol controller family
CF63 Modbus protocol controller address 1…255
• 0=1200 baud • 4=19200 baud
• 1=2400 baud • 5=38400 baud
CF64 Modbus protocol Baudrate
• 2=4800 baud • 6=58600 baud
• 3=9600 baud • 7=115200 baud
• 2= NONE
CF65 Modbus protocol parity • 1= EVEN
• 3= ODD
47
IMPORTANT: DO NOT supply power via TTL present on PC Interface 2150 to the EWCM4120-4180 device. To avoid
errors, it is OBLIGATORY to cut the wire corresponding to 5Vdc of the 5-pole TTL connector, as illustrated in the
figure;
Copy card
The Copy Card is an accessory which, when connected to the TTL type serial port, allows quick programming of the
instrument parameters (upload and download of a parameter map to or from one or more instruments of the same
type). The operations are carried out via the following commands present in the CC folder, consent for the operation
is given by pressing the "set" key:
Fr-Format: This command is used to format the copy card, an operation which is necessary when the instrument is
being used for the first time or with other models which are not mutually compatible. Important: When the copy card
is formatted, all data is deleted. This operation cannot be cancelled.
UL-Upload: this command copies (uploads) the parameter values from the instrument to the copy card.
dL-Download: this command copies (downloads) the parameter values from the copy card to the instrument.
If the operation was completed successfully the word "yes" will be displayed, if not the label "Err" will appear. After
the download the instrument must be reset.
48
Download from reset: Connect the copy card to the switched off instrument. When the instrument is turned on, the
programming parameter values will automatically be loaded from the copy card to the instrument. After the lamp
test, the display shows the following labels for about 5 seconds: “dLY” if the operation is successful, “dLn” if not.
At the end of the operation, the instrument will switch to OFF status (if a digital input is set as on/off, at the end of
the download from reset the instrument will assume the state of the digital input)

Note: When a parameter is edited outside of the limits, the display flashes. To stop the flashing, press the UP/DOWN
keys once.
