1. INTRODUCTION
iJF is the range of CAREL electronic controls designed for commercial refrigeration food storage and display applications. The
range comprises SMALL and LARGE formats, which differ in terms of the number of inputs/outputs and buttons available. Both
formats allow different mounting methods: FRONT PANEL mounting with built-in display or SPLIT mounting, with or without
REMOTE HMI DISPLAY. All models come with 115 - 230 Vac switching power supply and NFC (Near Field Communication) con-
nectivity. All standard iJF display interfaces use backlit buttons with a capacitive touch screen.
A vast catalogue of options for integration into the device is available across the entire iJF range:
• Bluetooth to interact in real time with the chiller and access the data logs stored on the controller. Bluetooth antenna for
connection to the Applica (service) and CONTROLLA apps (end user).
• Modbus over RS485 for connection to Carel or third-party supervisory systems (no external converter needed).
• VCC serial output to directly drive a VCC (variable capacity compressor) via serial link, without external adapters.
• Modulating outputs (0-10 V/PWM) to directly drive modulating loads such as frequency-controlled VCC compressors, dimma-
ble lights or variable-speed fans.
• Humidity input to directly read a 0-5 V ratiometric humidity probe.
• Safety package with compressor protection against high and low power supply voltages (HLVP) and zero crossing function
for the relays.
• RTC clock
• Different combinations of colours and keypads for the display.
The entire iJF range is integrated into the following CAREL support software and apps:
• Spark software for OEM technical departments; connection via RS485, BMS or port ID2 with specific converters.
• Applica Desktop software for OEM technical departments; connection via RS485, BMS or port ID2 with specific converters.
• Sparkly software for OEM production lines; connection via RS485.
• Applica app for technical service in the field; connection via NFC and BT.
• Controlla app for end users; connection via BT.
The iJF range has been designed to offer maximum flexibility through the use of modular hardware.
Main features of the basic versions:
• SMALL models, 4 inputs and up to 4 relays.
• LARGE models, 5 inputs and up to 6 relays.
• panel mounting with built-in display.
• split version with remote display.
• split version without remote display.
• 115-230 Vac +-10% (90-264 Vac) switching power supply.
• NFC connectivity.
Fully-integrated options:
• Bluetooth (with real time clock).
• Real time clock.
• 1 RS485 serial port for supervisor with Modbus protocol.

Caution: avoid installing the controller in environments with the following characteristics:
• temperature and humidity that do not comply with the ambient operating conditions (see “Technical specifications”);
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• exposure to water sprays or condensate;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g.: sulphur and ammonia gases, saline mist, smoke) which may cause
corrosion and/or oxidation;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (thus avoid installation near transmitting antennae);
• exposure to direct sunlight and the elements in general;
• wide and rapid fluctuations in ambient temperature;
• exposure of the controller to dust (formation of corrosive patina with possible oxidation and reduction of insulation);

Caution: connect the shield to the earth in the electrical panel. Connect a 120 Ω terminating resistor between the Tx/Rx+
and Tx/Rx- terminals on the last controller on the RS485 line. Do not connect GND to earth.
2.14 Installation
For installation proceed as follows, with reference to the wiring diagrams:
• before performing any operations on the control board, disconnect the main power supply by turning the main switch in the
electrical panel OFF;
• avoid touching the control board, as electrostatic discharges may damage the electronic components;
• the index of protection required for the application must be ensured by the manufacturer of the cabinet or by suitable as-
sembly of the controller;
• connect any digital inputs, Lmax = 10 m;
• connect the actuators: the actuators should only be connected after having programmed the controller. Carefully evaluate
the maximum ratings of the relay outputs as indicated in “Controller electrical and physical specifications”;
• program the controller: see “User interface”;
• for safety devices (e.g. circuit breakers), comply with the following requirements:
– IEC 60364-4-41;
– standards in force in the country;
– connection technical requirements of the power company.
Caution: the following warnings must be observed when connecting the controllers:
• incorrect connection to the power supply may seriously damage the controller;
• use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws
and lightly tug the cables to check correct tightness;
• separate as much as possible the probe and digital input cables from cables to inductive loads and power cables, so as to
avoid possible electromagnetic disturbance. Never run power cables (including the electrical panel cables) and probe signal
cables in the same conduits;
• do not install the probe cables in the immediate vicinity of power devices (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.). reduce the path
of probe cables as much as possible, and avoid spiral paths that enclose power devices.
3. CONFIGURATION TOOLS
3.1 Spark: configuration and commissioning software
Spark is configuration software for laptops that provides the following functions:
• configure access and password levels;
• change parameter sets and create custom read/write lists to upload to the device;
• add languages and parameter descriptions;
• view the trends of physical quantities in real time, with the possibility to save data in Excel format.
In order to carry out the operations mentioned above, it is necessary to have a specific ‘’ workspace ‘’ file (file with .spark exten-
sion), which can be downloaded from ksa.carel.com.
Notice: the workspace is specific for each firmware version; the correct combination of file-controller firmware version is
required for correct communication.
For the electrical connection, use the USB/RS485 converter CVSTDUMOR0 for models equipped with BMS port option.

Notice:
• make sure NFC or Bluetooth have been enabled. Some smartphones may experience problems if location is not enabled.
• during Bluetooth® connection, the iJF user terminal is disabled and shows the message “bLE”.
Notice:
• when the HMI is connected to the SPLIT controller, the NFC memory on the controller is disabled.
• If replacing the HMI, when first starting the iJF split controller the working parameters are written to the HMI NFC memory.
Communication with the NFC memory can be disabled at any time by setting parameter “nFE”. If nFE = 0, writes to NFC memory
are ignored by the controller.
4. USER INTERFACE
4.1 Introduction
iJF is available in panel versions with front mounting and built-in display, or in the split version with rear panel mounting, with
or without HMI terminal. For rear panel mounting, however, a basic user interface is provided, comprising two status LEDs, while
the front panel and remote terminal feature the display and keypad with backlit or non-backlit buttons (depending on the mod-
els) for carrying out some of the controller programming operations. The user interface display features three digits with sign for
below-zero temperatures and decimal point, a buzzer for signalling alarms and nine icons. The terminal features wireless con-
nectivity and an NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth interface (depending on the model) for interaction with mobile
devices (on which the CAREL “Applica” app has been installed, available on Google Play for the
Android operating system and on the Apple Store for iOS devices (Bluetooth only).
Notice: for simplicity, the set of parameters accessible from the user interface is a subset of all the parameters available via
the Applica app.
The information available on the user terminal and in the Applica app may vary according to the type of profile, the password
entered and the configuration parameters set by the manufacturer.
See the parameter table.
Notice: the user and service passwords can be changed directly by accessing the parameter list in the Applica app, and can
contain up to 8 alphanumeric and special characters.
Code Description Def. Min Max UOM User User terminal
PDM Manufacturer password 44 0 999 - M NO
PDS Service password 22 0 999 - S NO
PDU User password 0 0 999 - U NO
Parameter /5 can be set to change the unit of measure of the values shown on the display, while parameter /6 selects whether
or not to display the decimal point.
Notice: parameter /5 only affects the controller’s display and not Applica and the configuration tool, which need to be set
accordingly.

5. COMMISSIONING
Once the electrical connections have been completed (see “Installation”) and the power supply has been connected, the oper-
ations required for commissioning the controller depend on the type of interface used, however essentially involve setting the
so-called initial configuration parameters. The configuration procedure can be run on the user terminal, a mobile device (with
the Applica app), or configuration tool. The parameters used for commissioning are shown in the Parameter table.
Caution:
• the parameters that can be set on the user terminal and in the Applica app may vary according to the rights assigned to the
access profile, defined by the manufacturer. Therefore, not all of the following parameters may be visible or modifiable.
• Some operations can only be performed using Applica or the configuration tools, for example, configuring the temperature
probe type or setting the date/time and time bands

Notice: 8 daily time bands can be configured by setting parameters tS1, tE1 to tS8, tE8.
Notice: always check the correct date and time setting for using the logs and other functions that refer to the RTC.
The correct setting of date and time is necessary for the operation of some features of the iJF control:
• activation of the light or auxiliary output (par. H8) according to the set time bands;
• management of defrosts by time bands;
• monitoring and recording of a temperature;
• counting of operating hours and activation of the maintenance alarm when a settable threshold is exceeded;
• recording of periodic and event logs.
Notice: using parameter dI it is possible to perform cyclic defrosts every “dI” hours, even in the absence of the RTC clock..
Caution: A change in the time set in the iJF control exceeding 140 minutes causes the loss of the stored logs..
Caution: at the end of the commissioning procedure, the alarm log can be reset via the Applica app. See “Alarms”.
6. FUNCTIONS
The following paragraphs describe how to implement a detailed parameter configuration.
The parameters described below can be configured via the Spark configuration software or the Applica app.
Caution: the information available in Applica may vary according to the password set and the configuration defined by the
unit manufacturer, and consequently not all of the parameters shown may be visible or modifiable.
For details on the parameters and the related access levels, see the “Parameter table”.
6.1 ON/OFF
The unit can be switched on or off in different ways: user interface (button or parameter), supervisor and digital input.
Parameter On is used to switch the controller ON/OFF. If there is a digital input configured as remote ON/OFF, this has higher
priority than the supervisor command or the On parameter.

DIF Assign remote ON/OFF digital input - see DIA 0 0 4 - S NO
On ON/OFF command 1 0 1 - U YES
0= OFF; 1 = ON.
In this operating mode, the display shows the standard display set by parameter /t1, alternating with the message “OFF”.
Caution: for the maximum current that can be supplied to the ratiometric probes, see the Technical specifications table.
To assign the function to each physical probe, configure parameters /FA, /Fb, ... /FR. See the parameter table.

Tab. 6.d
Notice:
• the configuration /FA = 0 and /Fc = 0 will cause the ‘rE’ alarm (control probe alarm), as it means that no control probe is asso-
ciated.
• For a description of the probe functions, see the following paragraphs.
Caution, HACCP: this modification may not be allowed by HACCP procedures as it alters the measured value. Verify that
you have authorisation and record the changes where required.

Parameter /2 defines the coefficient used to stabilise the temperature measurement. Low values assigned to this parameter
allow a prompt response of the sensor to temperature variations; the reading however become more sensitive to disturbance..
High values slow down the response, but guarantee greater immunity to disturbance, that is, a more stable, precise and filtered
reading.
Parameter /3 is used to refresh the probe readings displayed; low values of /3 mean the display is refreshed quickly, high values
mean it is refreshed slowly.
Note: parameter /3 only affects the display of the probe readings and not the value used for control.
If the opposite logic to the default setting is required, or to correct a wiring error, the logic of the functions associated with the
digital inputs using parameters rIA, rIb, ... rIU can be reversed.

6.6 Control
Various modes are available for controlling the air temperature for the preservation of foodstuffs, depending on which probes are
installed and their position. The following figure shows the position of the intake probe (air on) Sr and the outlet probe (air off )
Sm. The virtual probe Sv is a weighted average of these two probes, based on parameter /4, according to the following formula:
Sm Ƹ (100 –/4) + Sr Ƹ (/4)
Sv = 100
For example, if /4=50, Sv=(Sm+Sr)/2 represents an estimated value of the air temperature around the refrigerated food.
Notice: HACCP: parameter /4 can be set to change the temperature used for control and for display. This operation may be
prohibited by HACCP procedures or require record keeping and authorisation.

Notice HACCP: the set point and differential are critical parameters for food storage.
Modifications to these settings may be prohibited by HACCP procedures or require record keeping and authorisation.
The minimum and maximum value of the set point can be set by parameter.
Par. Description Def Min Max UOM User User terminal
r1 Minimum set point -50/-58 -99 /-146.2 r2 °C/°F S NO
r2 Maximum set point 50/122 r1 200/392 °C/°F S NO
The iJF controller in standard mode uses the virtual probe Sv for control, that is, the weighted average of the outlet and intake
probe (see parameter /4). If one of the two probes making up the virtual probe is broken or has an error, parameter ro is used to
continue normal control in controlled conditions, without the need for immediate intervention by maintenance personnel. The
recommended value of ro is the temperature difference between the outlet probe and intake probe reading in steady operating
conditions of the refrigeration unit:
ro = Sr – Sm
The following cases may occur:
• outlet probe Sm error: control starts based on the intake probe Sr alone, considering a new set point (St*) determined by the
formula:
(100 –’/4’)
St* = St + ro Ƹ 100
• intake probe Sr error: based starts on the outlet probe Sm alone, considering a new set point (St*) determined by the formula:
’/4’
St* = St – ro Ƹ 100
Notice:
• if ro = 0 the function is not active;
• for night-time operation the new set point is added to the value defined by r4 (= automatic night-time set point variation);
• in the event of errors on both probes, the controller switches to duty setting operation.
Example
Sm fault in daytime operation, with /4=50, St=-4, Sr=0, Sm=-8, ro (recommended) = 0-(-8) = 8.
Then the new control probe will be Sr with:
(100 –’/4’)
St* = St + ro Ƹ 100
St*= -4+8 (100-50)/100=0.

ON/OFF control depends on the capacity of the produce to absorb and release heat, as well as on the evaporator cooling time.
The temperature therefore fluctuates above and below the set point, and this may cause a decline in the quality of food preser-
vation. Decreasing the differential to make control more precise increases the frequency of compressor on/off cycles. Precision
of the measurement is in any case limited by the tolerance of both the controller and the probe.
Stepped control
Control with the auxiliary compressor enabled is illustrated in the figure. If the auxiliary compressor is configured without rota-
tion (par. DOk), the main compressor is always activated first, while if the auxiliary compressor is configured with rotation (par.
DOy), on each activation request the compressor that starts first is alternated, with FIFO rotation, so as to balance the operating
hours of the two compressors.
The auxiliary compressor is activated with a delay that can be set using parameter c11, to avoid simultaneous starts.

Continuous cycle can be activated by digital input, from the supervisor, on reaching the high temperature threshold AH or from
the user interface. When the continuous cycle is running:
• the icon comes on (see “User interface” for details)
• the solenoid valve/compressor output (with icon) is activated;
• the low temperature alarm with threshold AL is enabled.
Notice:
1. the continuous cycle cannot be activated if:
• the duration of the continuous cycle is set to 0 (cc = 0);
• the temperature is below the control set point
• the device is OFF.
If c7 = 0, the continuous cycle has priority over defrosting: any defrost requests remain on hold while the continuous cycle is run-
ning. If c7=1, defrost requests that are activated when the continuous cycle is running terminate the latter and the defrost starts.
6.12 Compressor
The iJF controller can manage both On/Off and modulating compressors (VCC - Variable Capacity Compressors, with serial com-
mand in the models with VCC option, or directly via the analogue output, appropriately configured). The control request is sent
to the main compressor and the auxiliary compressor, as described in “Control”.

Each VCC model works between two operating limit frequencies, the switch-off frequency and the maximum rotation frequen-
cy. The iJF controller uses the following preset values:
• cMi = switch-off frequency = 30 Hz (thermostat present signal, but VCC is off, 0 rpm)
• cMA = maximum rotation frequency = 150 Hz (4500 rpm)
For VCCs that use values other than those shown previously, see “Advanced VCC configuration”.
To adapt the cooling capacity of the VCC to the actual needs of the application, set the following parameters:
• cnf = minimum control frequency; preset value = 52 Hz (1560 rpm);
• cMf = maximum control frequency; preset value = 100 Hz (3000 rpm).
During normal control, when the conditions require the VCC to restart, the compressor runs at the soft-start frequency for the
soft-start time (a few seconds). To adapt this frequency to the VCC oil recovery specifications, set the following parameters:
• cSc = soft-start frequency; preset value = 53 Hz (1590 rpm);
• cSt = soft-start time; preset value = 5 s.
When defrosting, if set in hot gas mode, the compressor runs at a fixed frequency, defined by the following parameter:
• cdf = hot gas defrost frequency; preset value = 140 Hz (4200 rpm).

The PID control algorithm can be adapted to the needs of the application by setting the following parameters:
• cPr = PID control proportional term;
• ctl = PID control integral term;
• cdt = PID control derivative term.
The preset values are suitable and safe for starting any application the first time. When making adaptations, it is recommended
to modify one parameter at a time and check the behaviour of the application in a controlled environment.
If the compressor is on, the controller switches it off when the temperature read by the control probe Sv reaches the low tem-
perature alarm threshold or the set point St for a time equal to cct:
• if cct is set to 0, the compressor stops immediately when Sv = St.
• if cct is set to 255, the compressor never stops.

To protect the refrigerated products, management of the two alarm thresholds overlaps normal control:

controller immediately stops the compressor.
• AH = high temperature alarm threshold; when the temperature read by the control probe Sv is higher than the threshold AH,
the controller activates the continuous cycle for the compressor (if cc> 0). See “Continuous cycle”.

6.16 Defrost
Introduction
The iJF controller can manage different types of defrosts, based on the setting of parameter d0.
The defrost can end by temperature, in which case the defrost probe Sd must be installed, or by time. At the end of the defrost
the dripping phase may begin (if dd>0), during which the compressor and the fans are off, followed by the post-dripping phase
(if Fd>0), during which control resumes and the fans work based on the setting of parameter Fpd. The type of display on user
terminal during the defrost can be selected by setting parameter d6.

Start defrost
The iJF controller can manage the following types of defrosts, based on the setting of parameter d0:
1. heater (placed near the evaporator) by temperature;
2. hot gas by temperature;
3. heater by time;
4. hot gas by time;
5. heater by time with temperature control.
The details of each type of defrost are illustrated in the following paragraphs.
If defrost by temperature is selected, it is performed only if the value read by the evaporation temperature probe Sd is lower than
the defrost end value (dt1 and dt2) or has an error. This also applies when there are two evaporators.
For heater defrosts:
• first the time d15 elapses;
• the compressor stops (performing pump down, if enabled);
• the main and secondary evaporator defrost relays are activated to switch on the heaters.
During hot gas defrost:
• first the time d15 elapses;
• then the compressor stops;
• the time dHG/2 elapses;
• the main and secondary evaporator defrost relays are activated to activate the hot gas valve.
• the time dHG/2 elapses;
• the compressor starts;
Notice: if parameter dHG has a vlaue other than zero, pump down is not performed during hot gas defrost.
Notice: if the control temperature is lower than the low temperature alarm threshold (parameter AL or ALA), the compressor
cannot start and therefore the hot gas defrost will not be performed. If the temperature falls below the alarm threshold during
defrosting, the compressor will stop immediately.
End defrost
The defrost ends by temperature when the values set by parameters dt1 and dt2 are reached, or by time, when the values dP1
and dP2 are reached, based on the setting of parameter d0. If defrost by temperature is selected, the defrost probe Sd needs to
be installed; the defrost ends when the probe Sd measures a value greater than the setting of dt1 or by timeout after the maxi-
mum time dP1 has elapsed; in this case, based on the setting of parameter A3, Ed1 is displayed.
If set to end by time, the defrost ends after the time dP1.
The heater defrost by time with temperature control (d0=4) activates the defrost output only if the evaporator temperature Sd
is less than the value of parameter dt1, and ends after the time defined by dP1. This function is useful for energy saving and to
avoid excessively heating the evaporator.
For units with two evaporators, the defrost ends when both evaporators have reached the end defrost condition. If one evap-
orator ends defrosting (by time or by temperature) before the other, the corresponding defrost relay is de-energised, while the
compressor remains in the status required by the defrost.
For hot gas defrost, when the defrost ends:
• the compressor stops;
• the time dHG/2 elapses;
• the main and secondary evaporator defrost relays are deactivated to deactivate the hot gas valve.
• the time dHG/2 elapses;
• the compressor starts;
At the end of the defrost, the controller can activate the dripping phase (if dd>0), during which the compressor and the fans are
off, followed by the post-dripping phase (if Fd>0), during which control resumes with the fans off. If the defrost ends prematurely
(e.g. interrupted by keypad/BMS), the dripping and post-dripping phases are skipped.
The type of display on the user terminal during defrosting can be selected by setting parameter d6.
Notice: high temperature alarms can be disabled after defrosting by setting par. d8.

Pump down is the period in which the evaporator is emptied of liquid refrigerant, and can be disabled by setting cPt=0 (see
“Pump down phase duration”). Operation of the fan during the pump down phase depends on parameters F2 and F3. During
the dripping phase the fan is always off, while during the post-dripping phase operation depends on the setting of parameter
Fpd.

Parameter dI is a safety parameter used to perform cyclical defrosts every “dI” hours, event without the real time clock (RTC). At
the start of each defrost, irrespective of the duration, an interval starts being counted. If this interval exceeds dI without a defrost
being performed, one is started automatically. The count is always active even if the controller is OFF.
Example.
If the defrost programmed by time td3 is not carried out due to a fault in the RTC, a new defrost starts after the safety time dI.

Notice: this condition is not verified the first time the compressor is started after switching the unit on.
Notice: the door opening counter is reset every time a defrost is performed.
Thresholds dn1 (evaporator 1) and dn2 (evaporator 2) are calculated based on the parameter settings:
dn dn
dn1 = 100
· dP1 dn2 = 100
· dP2
Notice: whenever a defrost ends after dn1 (dn2), the next defrost is performed and the counter is reset.
Nota: the algorithm is applied only in case of defrosts programmed by scheduler or cyclic defrosts (par. dI), manual defrosts
or defrosts started from the supervisory system are always performed and don’t have effects on the counter.
The defrost request at power on has priority over the control request and activation of the continuous cycle.
Also active when d4=0. If the digital input is set to enable or start a defrost from an external contact, parameter d5 represents
the delay between when the defrost is enabled or requested, and when it effectively starts.
This parameter is used to stop the compressor and the evaporator fans following a defrost so as to allow the evaporator to drip.
The value of the parameter indicates the off time in minutes. If dd=0 no dripping time is enabled, and at the end of the defrost
control resumes immediately, without stopping the compressor and the fan, if active.
The pump down phase is the period in which the evaporator is emptied of liquid refrigerant. Parameter cPt defines the duration
of the pump down phase whenever control stops.
Parameter d9 is used to set the priority of defrosts over the compressor times c1, c2, c3 when there is a defrost request.
Parameter c7 is used to set the priority of defrosts over the continuous cycle:
• if c7 = 0, the continuous cycle has priority over the defrost requests;
• if c7 = 1, if the continuous cycle is in progress and there is a defrost request, the continuous cycle ends and the defrost starts.
Parameter dC is used to change the unit of measure (hours/minutes or minutes/seconds) used to count the times for parameters dI
(defrost interval, hours or minutes), dP1 and dP2 (defrost duration) . This feature is particularly useful when configuring the defrosts.
Notice: variable speed fans are only available on models with analogue outputs Y1 and Y2, PWM or 0-10 V, see “Introduction”.

Notice: variable speed fans are only available on models with analogue outputs Y1 and Y2, PWM or 0-10 V, see “Introduction”.
To activate the algorithm, simply assign an analogue output to the variable-speed evaporator fan function by setting the type
of output accordingly. In addition, the evaporation temperature probe needs to be configured if this is required for control. See
“Inputs and outputs”.
The maximum and minimum fan speed can be set using parameters F6 and F7 (as a percentage of the range 0-10 V). The fan
speed varies proportionally across the range of modulation.
For example, considering the default values of the parameters, if F0 = 2 and Sd = F1-Frd/2 = 6°C –› output Y1 corresponds to the
percentage (F6+F7)/2 = 50%. Nel caso si utilizzi il regolatore di velocità per i ventilatori, F5 rappresenta la temperatura sotto la

The probe reading can be shown on the display by setting parameter /t1 or can be read under item SHu in the direct functions
menu. Furthermore, parameter /ta can be used to alternate the display of the temperature/humidity values.
As well as by an external dehumidifier, dehumidification can also be controlled through simultaneous action of the compressor
and a heater; in this case, a relay needs to be assigned to the “heating for dehumidification” function.
To activate dehumidification, simultaneous cooling (compressor) and heating (heater resistance) are required. The effect of cool-
ing is to lower the air relative humidity, while the heater then offsets the excessive cooling, so as to maintain a virtually constant
temperature during the process.

If the digital input is configured as a door switch with compressor off (parameter DIE), when the door is opened both the com-
pressor and the evaporator fans are stopped; on the other hand, if configured as a door switch without compressor off (param-
eter DIP), when the door is opened only the evaporator fans are stopped.
When the door is open, the high temperature alarm is ignored for the time set using parameter Add, to avoid false alarms, and
the service icon flashes to signal a warning condition. When time Add has elapsed, the following occur:
• the open door alarm (dor) is signalled;
• compressor and evaporator fan control resumes;
• the light stays on;
• after the delay time set by parameter Ad, the high temperature alarm is activated.
When closing the door:
• control resumes, restarting the compressor and evaporator fans if required;
• the light switches off after the time set by parameter H14 and the high temperature alarm is activated after the delay Ad.
When control resumes, the compressor safety times c1 and c2 are observed.

The time bands can be associated with the AUX output rather than the light, by setting parameter H8. In this case, the light will
reflect the position of the door, switching on and off respectively when the door is opened and closed.
If the digital input is associated with the curtain switch, when the curtain is closed the iJF controller activates eco mode and the
set point is modified by adding the value of parameter r4. When the curtain is open, the light is always switched on.
Notice: in eco mode, the value St+r4 is used for all of the functions that involve the set point (e.g. relative high and low
temperature alarms, control with dead band, two-stage compressor control, etc.).
Caution: the generic functions available vary according to the model of controller.
The following can be activated (maximum configuration):
• 1 generic function with On/Off output;
• 1 generic function with modulating output (only for models where this is available);
• 1 generic alarm function (signal only).
The generic function can be controlled based on one of the following:
• 1 specific probe;
• difference between 2 suitably configured probes.
Caution: the controller cannot verify the consistency of the settings, if two analogue functions are mistakenly assigned to
the same analogue inputs or the same digital output.

7. PARAMETER TABLE
Below is the table of the parameters that can be displayed on the terminal or can be modified using the configuration software
or Applica app. The Applica app and configuration tools have three predefined parameter access levels: User (U), Service (S) and
Manufacturer (M).
The default passwords to access the Service and Manufacturer parameters from the Applica app are 22 and 44 respectively. The
Manufacturer level password also allows access to the Service parameters, and the level S password also allows access to the
User parameters.
Par. Description Def Min Max UOM User User terminal
PDM Manufacturer password (OEM) 44 0 999 - M NO
PDS Service password 22 0 999 - S NO
PDU User password 0 0 999 - U NO
Notice:
• the read-only parameters are not visible from the Applica app using NFC, as NFC memory cannot be overwritten frequently;
• to avoid any fraudulent activities, the default password values should be changed at the end of the commissioning procedure.
For example, with the Applica app, parameters PDM, PDS and PDU can be used to set new passwords, with a maximum length
of 3 numbers.
Caution: the operation to reset the default values is not reversible, unless a user recipe has been previously saved for load-
ing using the configuration tool/Applica app, see the paragraph on the configurations.

Notice: during the first connection, the Applica app aligns itself with the software version on the iJF controller via a cloud
connection; this means a mobile data connection is needed at least for this first connection. If the data connection is not avail-
able, the required packet can be retrieved from the could as soon as the connection is restored (access the “Packet Manager”
section of Applica).
Applica makes it easy to set the parameters on the iJF controller and manage parameter configurations using the hamburger
menu at the top left of the screen.

Notice:
• the digital outputs can be configured to signal the alarm status, normally open or normally closed. See “Digital outputs”.
• An alarm can also be activated from an external contact, immediate or delayed. See “Digital inputs”.
The warning and alarm signals can be immediate or delayed by parameter (see the Alarm table).
Both warnings and alarms can be reset automatically, manually or semi-automatically:
• automatic, when the cause is no longer present, the alarm also ceases;
• manual, when the cause is no longer present, the alarm remains active until manually reset by parameter;
• semi-automatic, reset is automatic 3 times in an hour, after which manual reset is required.
Active alarms are signalled by the buzzer (see parameter Hb) and the flashing of the “Service” icon . The alarm code is shown
on the display, alternating with the main value. Pressing any button mutes the buzzer. If more than one error occurs, these are
displayed in sequence. When an alarm is cleared, it is stored in the alarm log containing a maximum of five alarms, in a FIFO
list (the 6th alarm overwrites the 1st alarm, and so on). The error log can be accessed from the user terminal, via supervisor or
Applica app (Bluetooth connection only).
Example
Display after HI error.
300100_070_R01
Fig. 9.a
The alarms can be reset manually using parameter rSA, from the user terminal or configuration tool, or in Applica (Bluetooth
connection only) using the specific command on the Alarms page (“Service” or “Manufacturer” level access is required). If the
condition that generated the alarm is still present, the alarm will be reactivated after resetting.
The alarm log can be deleted using parameter rAL, accessible from the user terminal, configuration tool or in Applica (Bluetooth
connection only) using the specific command on the Alarms page (“Service” or “Manufacturer” level access is required).
Relative thresholds
Parameter AL is used to set the activation threshold for the low temperature alarm LO. The value measured by the control probe
is continuously compared against the value of St-AL, and if it falls below this value for a time longer than Ad, the low temperature
alarm LO is activated. The low temperature alarm LO ceases automatically when the temperature rises back above St-AL+A0.
Similarly, parameter AH is used to set the activation threshold for the high temperature alarm HI. The value measured by the
control probe is continuously compared against the value of St+AH, and if it rises above this value for a time longer than Ad, the
high temperature alarm HI is activated. The high temperature alarm HI ceases automatically when the probe reading falls below
St+AH-A0.

Absolute thresholds
Parameter ALA is used to set the activation threshold for the low temperature alarm LO. The value measured by the control probe
is continuously compared against the value of ALA, and if it falls below this value for a time longer than Ad, the low temperature
alarm LO is activated. The low temperature alarm LO ceases automatically when the temperature rises back above ALA+A0.
Similarly, parameter AHA is used to set the activation threshold for the high temperature alarm HI. The value measured by the
control probe is continuously compared against the value of AHA, and if it rises above this value for a time longer than Ad, the
high temperature alarm HI is activated.
The high temperature alarm HI ceases automatically when the probe reading falls below AHA-A0.

The high temperature alarm is ignored for a time set by parameter Add after opening the door, and for parameter d8 after de-
frosting, to avoid false signals. Once the times set by parameter Add or d8 have elapsed, the delay set by parameter Ad starts
counting and the alarm is signalled when it elapses.
The active low temperature alarm LO is signalled by the buzzer and the code LO shown on the display, while the active high
temperature alarm HI is signalled by the buzzer and the code HI.

After switching on the compressor, the iJF controller checks at the intervals set for d20 that the control temperature falls by at
least by the value set for parameter d22; at the end of each interval, if the temperature decreases, the time with no temperature
decrease is reset; on the other hand, if the temperature remains constant or increases, the controller starts counting the time
with no temperature decrease, and on reaching the threshold set by parameter d16, a defrost is started. This operating cycle is
repeated for a maximum number of defrosts set by parameter d21, after which alarm rSF is activated and the unit is switched off.
Alarm rSF is reset manually using parameter rSA.
If the RTC clock is available and working correctly, the iJF controller can count the number of hours that have elapsed since the
last time the operating hours were reset. When the threshold set by parameter HMP is exceeded, the maintenance request alarm
SrC is signalled. Alarm SrC is reset manually by resetting the operating hours using parameter HMr. Parameter HMr can be used
to reset the count of operating hours since maintenance was last carried out even if the alarm has not been activated. If the
operating hour threshold HMP=0 (default), the alarm is disabled.
Notice: the maintenance alarm can only be activated on models fitted with RTC and with the clock set correctly.
To stop these alarms being shown on the display, set the following parameters:
• CoA = display alarms detected by the inverter; when the inverter detects a VCC malfunction, alarm UCF is shown on the
display.
• Ctd = maximum time with no communication before the alarm is shown on the display; when the iJF controller detects no
communication with the inverter for a time equal to Ctd, alarm COM is shown on the display.
Notice: to disable the alarms relating to VCC compressors on models with the VCC option yet without the inverter connect-
ed, set parameters cct and ctd to zero.
10. LOGS
The iJF controller can record both periodic and event logs, which can then be viewed and downloaded using the Applica app
and commissioning tools. To view the logs from Applica, select Service Area -> Trend -> (tab) Logs for the periodic logs, or Ser-
vice Area -> Trend -> (tab) Events for event logs:

The log view is pre-set, however it can be changed using the editing tools. In addition, the pre-set views loaded on the device
allow the main values to be filtered (temperature, HACCP alarms, blackouts, etc.). To download the logs, use the drop-down
menu at the top right.
Caution: changing the time set on the iJF controller by more than 140 minutes will clear the stored logs.

Applica
Procedure:
1. open Applica on the smartphone;
2. access the controller via NFC or Bluetooth, entering your profile credentials;
3. scroll to parameter “rSC” (if enabled in the access profile) to restore the Carel default values, or “IS” to load one of the param-
eter sets available on the controller;
4. set parameter “rSC” or “IS” and confirm.
Notice: the visibility of parameters “rSC” and “IS” depends on the access profile used and whether or not there are any
preloaded configurations, respectively.
Applying a configuration means copying the set values of the configuration parameters to the working parameters. Any emp-
ty parameters (parameters without values set in that configuration) will remain unaffected. The copy procedure is started by
changing the value of parameter IS.
Once the configuration has been applied, the value of any of the parameters can be modified without affecting the configura-
tion loaded on the controller, which can thus be recalled at any time, firstly setting the corresponding parameter to 0 and then
to the value associated with the desired configuration.
Notice:
• the parameters contained in a configuration cannot be modified in any way.
• Any parameters that are not included in the configuration will remain unchanged, even if the configuration used is changed.
• Recalling the factory parameters resets the settings without however changing the configurations.
Notice: cloning copies all of the parameters, even those not visible to the user based on the access profile. On the other
hand, to copy only the parameters that are visible to the user, use the “Create configuration” option, accessible from Service Area
-> Setup -> Parameter list.
Notice: it is strongly recommended for all configurations to contain the same parameters, to avoid any parameter setting
errors that may cause alarms or malfunctions.
The following procedure describes how to create the configurations, load them onto the controller and recall them using the
tools described under “Configuration tools”.
Notice: the configuration name must be a progressive number, with the following format: 1, 2, 3 … n, other names or
non-consecutive values are not allowed.
300100_094_R01
Fig. 11.c
300100_095_R01
Fig. 11.d
Notice: the configurations must be named with progressive numbers (1.stconfiguration, 2.stconfiguration, etc.). All of the
configurations must be entered, no skipped or missing numbers are allowed.
The new .pack file containing the configurations will be generated in the folder and is ready to be installed on the controller.
“Auto-start” configuration
When the .pack file containing the configurations has been created, the configuration that iJF will use at power-on (auto-start)
can be selected, rather than using parameter IS (see “Selecting a configuration”) by simply adding the configuration name to
the end of the string.
Example: the command pack- file embed - - src “C:\Temp\HQ000IJF000B0_ 1_ 3_ 1.pack” - - configurations “C:\Temp\1.stconfig-
uration” “C:\Temp\2.stconfiguration” - - auto- start “2” will create a .pack file with the second configuration as auto-start.
Installing configurations via digital input ID2 using the BXOPZIOWD0000 converter
To install the new .pack file containing the configurations on the iJF controller, run Sparkly and write the following command
to enable digital input ID2 as a serial port on iJF: device enable-serial-on-ID --port COMx --interval 30 and then power on the
controller.
From this point on the commands are the same as those used via BMS.
Notice: the serial communication speed for ID2 is fixed at 57600 bps, regardless of the value set for H10.
