dP  Defrost start  after Power failure: (n - y) n= the defrost  clock will reset;  y= start  defrost after a  power 
failure 
Fd  Defrost indicator delay: (0 – 99 min)  the time delay that  the  defrost indicator light will stay on after a 
defrost 
ALARMS 
AU  Maximum temperature alarm: (AL÷99°C) when this temperature is reached  the alarm is enabled, after 
the “Ad” delay time. 
AL  Minimum temperature alarm: (-55÷AU°C) when this temperature is reached the alarm is enabled, after 
the “Ad” delay time. 
Ad  Temperature  alarm  delay:  (0÷99  min)  time  interval  between  the  detection  of  an alarm condition and 
alarm signalling. 
dA  Exclusion of  temperature alarm  at  startup:  (0÷99  min)  time  interval between  the detection  of  the 
temperature alarm condition after instrument power on and alarm signalling.

8.  INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING 
Instrument  XR03CX  shall  be  mounted  on  vertical  panel,  in  a 
29x71 mm hole, and fixed using the special bracket supplied. 
The temperature range allowed for correct operation is 0÷60 °C. 
Avoid  places  subject  to  strong  vibrations,  corrosive  gases, 
excessive  dirt  or  humidity.  The same  recommendations  apply to 
probes. Let air circulate by the cooling holes. 
9.  ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 
The instrument is provided with Fast-on connections. Before connecting cables make sure  the power  supply 
complies with  the instrument’s requirements. Separate the probe cables from  the  power supply cables, from 
the outputs and the power connections. Do not exceed the maximum current allowed on each relay, in case of 
heavier loads use a suitable external relay. 
9.1  PROBES 
The probes shall be mounted with the bulb angled upward to prevent damages due to casual liquid infiltration. 
It is recommended to place the thermostat probe away from air streams to correctly measure the average room 
temperature. Place the defrost termination probe among the evaporator fins in the coldest place, where most 
ice is formed to prevent premature defrost termination. 
10.  HOW TO USE THE HOT KEY 
10.1  HOW TO PROGRAM THE HOT KEY FROM THE INSTRUMENT (UPLOAD) 
1.  Program one controller with the front keypad. 
2.  When the controller is ON, insert the “Hot key” and push   key; the  "uP" message appears followed a 
by flashing “En” 
3.  Push “SET” key and the “En” will stop flashing. 
4.  Turn OFF the instrument remove the “Hot Key”, then turn it ON again. 
NOTE:  the “Er”  message  is  displayed  for failed  programming. In  this  case  push  again  o key  if  you want  to 
restart the upload again or remove the “Hot key” to abort the operation. 
10.2  HOW TO PROGRAM AN INSTRUMENT USING HOT KEY (DOWNLOAD) 
1.  Turn OFF the instrument. 
2.  Insert a programmed “Hot Key” into the 5 PIN receptacle and then turn the Controller ON. 
3.  Automatically  the  parameter  list  of  the  “Hot  Key”  is  downloaded  into  the  Controller  memory,  the  “do” 
message is blinking followed a by flashing “En”. 
4.  After 10 seconds the instrument will restart working with the new parameters. 
5.  Remove the “Hot Key”.. 
NOTE:  the “Er”  message  is  displayed  for failed  programming. In  this  case push  again  o  key if  you  want to 
restart the upload again or remove the “Hot key” to abort the operation.

11.1  ALARM RECOVERY 
Probe alarms P1” and “P2” start a few seconds after the fault in the related probe; they automatically stop a 
few seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the probe, 
 Temperature alarms “HA” and “LA” automatically stop as soon when temperature returns to normal values. 
Alarms “EA” and “CA” (with iF=bL) recover as soon as the digital input is disabled.
