Wiring Key Points:
- Fuente de alimentación: Connect 230V AC to the designated terminals.
- Sensores: Connect the two temperature sensors (S1, S2) to their respective terminals.
- Salidas de relé: Connect the compressor, fan, and auxiliary loads to their corresponding relay terminals. The diagram specifies maximum current ratings for each output (e.g., COOL: 12(9)A 250V~, FAN: 5(4)A 250V~, AUX: 8(4)A 250V~).
- Entradas digitales: Utilize terminals for programmable digital inputs such as door switches or external alarms.
4.3 Encendido inicial
After wiring, apply power to the controller. The display should illuminate, showing the current temperature or an initial setup prompt.
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The AKO D-14323 offers various programmable parameters to suit different refrigeration needs.
5.1 Funcionamiento básico
- Pantalla de temperatura: The main display shows the current temperature measured by the primary sensor.
- Botón de ajuste: Presione para view or modify the setpoint temperature. Hold to enter parameter programming mode.
- Botón ESC: Used to exit menus or cancel changes.
- Flechas arriba/abajo: Used to adjust values in programming mode or manually initiate defrost (if configured).
- Botón de encendido: Turns the unit on/off or acts as a reset in some configurations.
5.2 Setting the Temperature Setpoint
- Presione el COLOCAR button briefly. The current setpoint will flash.
- Utilice el Up or Abajo Botones de flecha para ajustar la temperatura deseada.
- Prensa COLOCAR again to confirm and save the new setpoint, or ESC para salir sin guardar.
5.3 Advanced Parameter Programming
To access advanced parameters (e.g., defrost cycles, differential, auxiliary relay functions), hold the COLOCAR button for several seconds until the first parameter code appears. Navigate using the arrow buttons and press COLOCAR to enter/confirm values. Refer to the detailed programming guide (usually provided separately or available from AKO) for a complete list of parameters and their functions.
