It determines the shows the variable measured by the probe but, higher than limit L1. minimum Off time between the switch Off and the when programming, is used to indicate the values Ex.: L1= -05° C; L2= -03° C switch On of RL1, regardless of the input values chosen for the control parameters and their MODE tHS: “HY1” appears on display followed (0...10 minutes). respective symbols, useful to simplify by the switching hysteresis, positive for refrigeration PF1: permanent status programmed for RL1 output understanding.
