IX. GLOSSARY
Alarms: Sets buzzer intervals after Door is Open or when to be notified that the Compressor needs to be Cleaned.
By Temp: Chill cycle that terminates when the probes reach the Target Temperature.
By Time: Chill cycle that terminates after a set amount of time has lapsed.
By Prod: Chill cycle that terminates after a particular product’s specified chill parameters are met (the parameters can be set either By Temp or By Time with specific
Chill: Chilling Cycle that may end with either Time or Temperature controlled events. (Also see Soft Chill or Freeze).
Clock: Allows the Date and Time to be entered so the system’s clock correctly records chilling events.
Cycle #: The system assigns a consecutive number to each Chill Cycle.
Defrost: System Controlled Defrost occurs after three hours of chilling (this can also be set to occur at between 2 - 6 hours). The defrost will not begin during a chill cycle. The system waits until it is in Holding mode before starting the defrost cycle. The Defrost from the Main Menu is a manual defrost that will not run if selected and unneeded. The Defrost cycle requires about 30 minutes (this can also be set from 20 - 60 minutes in duration as needed). Fac Presets: Factory Presets are system parameters that are set at the factory but can be changed by the supervisor.
Freeze: This mode allows the product to be frozen down to a target temperature. The target temperature range available for freeze mode varies from
Hold Prod: After completed chill cycle or when selected from the Main Menu, the chiller will act like a regular refrigerator.
Label: A condensed Chill Cycle Report that can be printed on
Logging: The time interval at which Chill Cycle data (temperature vs. time) is logged into memory for record purposes. The factory setting is 5 minutes.
Main Menu: The two initial menus available from the controller after the chiller is turned on.
Mode: Basic chiller operating parameters are available from Sys Par in Setup mode.
Chill mode parameters allow adjustment of the target temperature, the air temperature during chill mode, the hold mode temperature, the high alarm temperature, the low alarm temperature and the maximum chill mode target temperature. Soft Chill mode parameters apply a modification of some of the Chill settings during the final portion of the chill cycle if Soft Chill is selected. Soft Chill provides additional protection against freezing of surfaces.
Oper: An Operator is a user who is allowed to operate the chiller and make reports of chill cycles performed.
Print: Allows a report of any Chill Cycle and probe to be printed. Chillers equipped with the optional second printer can print the condensed ‘Label’ type of report. All Chillers can print the ‘Record’ type of report.
Probe #: Each probe is numbered and its temperature vs. time is recorded for each probe # during every BY TEMP chill cycle and the record can be printed, either at the end of the chill cycle or subsequently.
Product List: A list of products in system memory which can have individual chill parameters specifically set for each product (assuming that the product is already enabled). Refer to Setup Products.
Record: Type of report that can be printed by all chillers. This report provides a record of time vs. temperature for a specific Probe and Chill Cycle.
Remote Alarm: The chiller can be wired to a remote alarm which will close the remote alarm circuit in the event
of one or more of the following situations: Printer Error, Cycle End, Door Open, High or Low Temperatures or Power Failure. If Cycle Running is chosen, the remote alarm circuit will close when a chill cycle is running and all other remote alarm settings are overridden (reset to NO). The supervisor can determine which events the remote alarm will signal by adjusting the settings in the Sys Par (System Parameters) section.
Setup: Specific control settings that can be set by the supervisor which determine how the chiller will operate.
Soft Chill: Type of chill process that moderates the temperatures and fan speed near the end of the chill cycle to provide less risk of freezing at the product’s surface.
Supv: A Supervisor is a user who is allowed to identify the users and limit their access to system parameters, enable products to be selected, set specific product chill parameters and change system parameters.
Sys Par: System Parameters are control settings that determine how the chiller will operate. These settings can be adjusted by the supervisor in Setup mode.
Temps in °C: If so displayed on the Sys Par 1 screen, all temperatures will be recorded in °C (Celsius).
Temps in °F: If so displayed on the Sys Par 1 screen, all temperatures will be recorded in °F (Fahrenheit).
