4. Configuration et installation

4.1 Montage

The EKC202B is designed for freestanding installation, typically panel-mounted. Ensure adequate space for ventilation and access to wiring terminals. Secure the unit firmly using appropriate mounting hardware.

4.2 Connexions électriques

AVERTISSEMENT : Assurez-vous que l'alimentation est coupée avant de procéder au câblage.

1. Connect the main power supply (230V AC, 50/60Hz) to the designated power terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram on the unit's label or in the full technical documentation for precise terminal assignments.
2. Connect temperature sensors to the appropriate input terminals. Ensure sensors are correctly placed within the refrigeration system for accurate readings.
3. Connect control outputs (e.g., compressor, fan, defrost heater) to their respective terminals. Verify that the load ratings of connected devices do not exceed the unit's output specifications.
4. Assurez-vous que toutes les connexions sont sécurisées et correctement isolées.

4.3 Mise sous tension initiale

After all connections are verified, restore power to the unit. The display should illuminate, indicating the unit is operational. The unit will typically show the current measured temperature.

5. Mode d'emploi

5.1 Réglage de la température

The EKC202B features adjustable temperature control. Typically, a dedicated button (often labeled 'Set' or similar) allows access to the setpoint adjustment. Use the up/down arrow buttons to change the desired temperature, then confirm the setting.

5.2 Navigation dans les menus

The unit's menu system allows access to various parameters such as defrost cycles, alarm settings, and sensor calibration. Consult the detailed technical manual for specific menu structures and parameter definitions. Use the navigation buttons to scroll through options and adjust values.

5.3 Dégivrage automatique

The EKC202B is equipped with an automatic defrost system. Defrost cycles are typically initiated based on time intervals or evaporator temperature. Parameters for defrost duration and frequency can usually be adjusted within the unit's menu.

6. Entretien

6.1 Nettoyage

Keep the exterior of the control unit clean. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the unit.
