Initial Start-Up:
When power is applied to the unit, the control will briey 
display all symbols, and the Compressor symbol will be 
displayed (if unit is calling for cooling). There may be a brief 
delay prior to the evaporator and condenser fans turning on.  
Set Point:
The set point is set from the factory (Cellarcool) at 55°. It can 
be adjusted by the customer between 50° and 70° in one 
degree increments. 
Cooling Operation:
Cooling is activated once the Air Sensing probe senses 
a temperature that is 1° greater than the set point. The 
controller then energizes the compressor relay which 
activates the compressor. The evaporator and condenser 
fans operate with the compressor. The unit provides cooling 
until the Air Sensing probe senses the set point. At this 
point the compressor relay is de-energized which stops 
the compressor. The evaporator and condenser fans will 
continue to run for 1 minute to re-evaporate any moisture 
from the evaporator coil and reduce the head pressure. 
Humidity Features:
The FDC parameter can be increased to allow the evaporator 
and condenser fans to run for a longer period of time after 
the compressor turns o, allowing more moisture to be re-
evaporated into the cellar.
Defrost/Anti-frost:
When the evaporator probe senses a temperature of 
26 degrees for 5 minutes, the unit will go into Anti-frost 
mode. This will shut down the compressor and allow the 
evaporator and condenser fans to run to evaporate any frost 
accumulation on the coil. The compressor will remain o 
until the evaporator coil reaches 40°, or for a maximum of 10 
minutes. The unit will then return to normal operation. 
If the evaporator is not above 26 degrees after the anti-frost 
sequence has ended, the red error light will display in the 
upper right corner. Alarm “Ad3” will be recorded in the alarm 
folder, meaning that the anti-frost sequence ended based 
on time. The unit will run for 5 minutes and then enter 
another Anti-Frost cycle. This sequence will continue until 
the evaporator temperature increases above 26°.
“Def” will be displayed during anti-frost. If the anti-frost 
sequence is less than 5 minutes, the control will not allow 
the compressor to start until 5 minutes has elapsed. This is 
to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
 Holding down the up button for approximately ve seconds 
manually starts the Anti-frost sequence, but only if the 
evaporator is below 40 degrees (defrost end temperature). 
If the evaporator is above 40 degrees, the display will blink 
three times and continue normal operation. 
Display:
The Air Sensing probe temperature is displayed by default. 
“Def” is displayed during anti-frost. The Air Sensing probe 
and evaporator probe temperatures can be accessed by 
pushing the set button and scrolling through PB1 (Air 
Sensing probe) and PB2 (evaporator probe).
Safety Features:
Once the compressor relay is de-energized the controller 
must wait 5 minutes before re-energizing the relay. This 
prevents the compressor from repeatedly turning o and 
on. If the unit is calling for cooling during this time, the 
compressor symbol will blink indicating that cooling is 
needed but the control is waiting for the anti-short cycle 
delay. 
In the event of a faulty Air Sensing probe, the compressor 
will cycle o for 10 minutes and on for 40 minutes. E1 will 
be displayed on the screen. 
Alarms:
If the Air Sensing temperature reaches 4 degrees above the 
set point, a red light will blink in the upper right corner of 
the display. The set button can then be pressed to reach 
the alarm menu. The menu will display “AH1” indicating a 
high Air Sensing temperature. The same thing will happen 
if the Air Sensing temperature reaches 4 degrees below the 
set point, except the alarm will read “AL1”. These alarms will 
not display for the rst 10 hours after the unit is turned on 
to allow the cellar to reach temperature. They will also wait 
one hour after an anti-frost cycle before displaying. 
In the event of a faulty evaporator probe E2 will ash on the 
screen intermittently. The red alarm light will be displayed 
in the upper right corner. The unit will go through one anti-
frost sequence every 24 hours. 
Press the set button and enter the Al folder to view any 
current alarms that are not ashing on the display. 
In the event of a high water alarm the compressor will turn 
o, the alarm will sound and “Opd” will be displayed in the 
alarm folder. The unit will continue normal operation once 
the pump has removed enough water to clear the high 
water alarm.
