1 INTRODUCTION

Having chosen the milk cooling tank MATRIX you have chosen a perfect product, made by those who perfectly
know the secrets of cooling and conserving milk. The milk cooling tank is constructed by using the most modern
equipment and technology.
The milk refrigeration is performed by a stainless steel straight direct expansion evaporator plate, which is operated
in an economical way with the maximum performance.

The materials that are used for the construction of the milk cooling tank are the most trustworthy at the European
Trade Market and guarantee a long life and faultless operation of your milk cooling tank.
The cooling controller is made by Dixell with a malfunction rate of less than 1%.
The agitation motor is made in France by Sirem and its power is 90W/230V/30 rpm (models TMV50 - TMV1250)
and 120W/230V/30 rpm (models TMV1500 - TMV2500).
The close type compressors are manufactured by the most trusted manufacturers in the European market.
The base of the milk cooling tank has been designed for safe operation, easy maintenance and high aesthetics. The
refrigerating unit and the control panel are well protected from the external environmental conditions and from small
animals and rodents entering the refrigerating unit.
It has to be mentioned that the entrance of small animals where the mechanisms are placed is a very serious
problem and affects the milk tank's life duration. The rodents eat the cables and the insulation material of the piping
as well as even tota l-ly destroy the refrigerating unit.

2 SAFETY AND GENERAL

During the designing and the construction of this machine, we have spared no effort to make your job more efficient
and secure. However, caution is always important. Prevention is better than cure.
This machine is designed and constructed according to the Annex V directive 98/37 EU and the EN 292-1, EN 292-
2, EN 294, EN 349, EN 418, EN 1672-1, EN 1672-2, EN 60204-1 standards.

. This exclamation point in the yellow, equilateral triangle alerts the user about danger and measures to be taken to
avoid risks, injuries and damages. Upon seeing it, you are highly advised to pay attention to the warning and be UA
careful about risks.

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Maturation tank consists of three parts:

1. The pasteurizer

2. Control panel (optional)

3. Heating cooling system (optional)
Before you can operate the pasteurizer, you need to install the power and water system in order to
provide the pasteurizer with hot and cold water for heating and cooling functions.

6. COOLING CONTROL

Milkplan open type tanks are equipped with Dixell XR80CX controller specialized in controlling milk
cooling and preservation processes.

Main characteristics:
• User friendly interface
• Accurate control
• Manual start of agitation
• All the parameters are fully configurable
• Current temperature always displayed on the screen
• Indication led for cooling and agitation operation DIXELL XR80CX CONTROLLER

Exclusively the DIXELL controller XR80CX with which your milk tank is equipped performs the control of the
refrigerating milk tank.

This controller is very flexible, and allows for the automatic operation of the tank with an ON/OFF switch.
The stirring operation is industrially regulated and the user should take no steps in order to operate it. The
stirrer operates throughout the operation of the refrigerating process. When the refrigeration is completed,
the refrigerating unit stops and the stirrer operates at mode of 3 minutes rotation and 15 minutes pause (the
time periods are adjustable).
Always remember that you should:
Set the refrigerating milk tank in operation mode as soon as the agitation paddle is covered with milk. Do
not turn the tank off as long as it contains milk.
Turn the milk cooling tank off when it does not contain milk.
Avoid opening the lid of the tank, as long as it is in operation because the stirrer stops and there is a risk of
ice formation.
If you want to take a sample of the milk while the stirring system is in the 15 minutes non-operating stage,
push and hold the C© button-key to make it operate. With this procedure you can take a homogeneous
sample. During winter and if the temperature falls under 4oC, the milk cooling tank won't start. It is
necessary to put hot milk in the tank and wait a few minutes until the refrigerating unit starts to operate.

.ADJUSTING THE BASIC PARAMETER VALUES OF THE XR80CX

After the milk cooling tank is switched on, a dashed line is displayed on the controller's screen. Next, the
temperature of the room where the milk cooling tank is installed is displayed.

1. First press and hold the SET key-button together with the (▼) key for at least 7 seconds

2. Led Hy is displayed.
3. Repeat step 2 pressing both keys for 7 sec. Led Pr 2 will be displayed. Release the keys and Hy is
displayed.
4. Press the SET key until the Hy temperature (2.0oC) is displayed.
5. By pressing the SET key again the LS is displayed.
6. Press the SET key, and then by pressing the (AT ) keys you can set the minimum temperature.
7. The temperature is already set to 1.0°C
8. By pressing the SET key, the display blinks three times meaning that the temperature you set has been
stored.
9. After this, the led US is displayed. Press the SET key, and then by pressing the (AT ) keys you can set the
maximum temperature. The maximum temperature is already set to 5.0oC.
10. By pressing the SET key, the display blinks three times meaning that the temperature you set has been
stored.
11. Immediately after, the led Ot is displayed which calibrate the thermostat probe. Push the SET key once, and
by pressing (AT ) set the desirable temperature. Press the SET key again and the display blinks three times
meaning that the temperature set has been stored. The value of parameter is set to -0,5oC

If at start up, or during the regulation process, the input signal value is higher than the "SrS+Hy", the controller
starts the regulation considering as target temperature the parameter SrS. When the temperature reaches the
SrS value the compressor stops. Then after the time set in parameter Srt, the controller starts the regulation
based on the standard SET POINT.

How to reset the soft start parameters

In order to reset the values of the soft start parameters you have to follow the 5 first steps of the chapter
"checking the basic parameters values ". Afterwards you have to press and release the SET key until you
reach the parameter Srt. The value of this parameter is 0min. and if you wish to change it you have to press
the arrows. After the calibrating of the parameter press the SET key, the display blinks 3 times which means
that the value has been stored. After this the controller pass automatically to the parameter SrS which adjusts
the temporary stop of the compressor, the value of this parameter is 150C and if wish to change it you have to
press the arrows, after the calibrating you should press the SET key so as to store the new value.
