2 DEFROST

XRi77CX - XRi77CH Two defrost modes are available through the tdF parameter: defrost through electrical heater
(tdF=EL) and hot gas defrost (tdF=in).
The defrost interval depends on the presence of the RTC (optional). The internal RTC is controlled by
Digital controller for variable speed drive means of the EdF parameter:
- EdF=in: the defrost is made every idF time – standard way for controller without RTC.
FW 23.2 - EdF=rtC: the defrost is real time controlled, depending on the hours set in the parameters
Ld1...Ld6 (for workdays).
