The Nuvio Chiller is equipped with advanced features designed to enhance its efficiency and functionality. This article provides a detailed explanation of the key settings (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6) available on the legacy display (for devices purchased before December 17, 2024), helping you maximize your Chiller’s performance and customize it to suit your needs.
If you need assistance with operating the buttons correctly, check out this guide.
P1 - Hysteresis
The hysteresis setting ensures your chiller operates efficiently by defining a range for temperature control.
-
Example Scenario:
- Target Temperature: 50°F
- P1 Setting: 2°F
- The chiller will cool down to the target temperature (50°F) and then stop.
- Once the temperature rises to 50°F + 2°F (52°F), the chiller will restart and cool again to the target temperature.
- This cycle ensures consistent cooling while minimizing energy usage and wear on the system.
P2 - Delayed Start
This feature protects the compressor by preventing frequent starts, which can lead to wear and tear.
-
Example Scenario:
- P2 Setting: 3 minutes
- After the chiller stops, it will wait 3 minutes before restarting the compressor for refrigeration.
- This delay helps extend the lifespan of the compressor and ensures smooth operation.
P3 - Temperature Calibration Value
Use this setting to correct any discrepancies in temperature readings on the chiller's display.
-
When to Use P3:
- If the actual temperature is 60°F, but the screen shows 50°F, calibration is required.
- Calibration Setting: Adjust P3 to +10°F, so the screen accurately reflects the current temperature (60°F).
- If the temperature reading is correct, no calibration is needed.
P4 - Always-On Function
The always-on function controls how long the display remains illuminated when inactive.
-
Example Scenario:
- P4 Setting: 2 minutes
- The display will remain lit for 2 minutes after the last interaction.
- After this time, the screen will dim to save energy.
P5 - Cooling Mode and Constant Temperature Mode
P5 allows you to choose between two operational modes:
- E1 - Cooling Mode: The chiller focuses on active refrigeration to cool the water down to your target temperature.
- E2 - Constant Temperature Mode: The chiller maintains a stable, constant temperature for consistent performance.
P6 - Celsius/Fahrenheit Selection
This setting allows you to toggle between temperature units to match your preference.
- Select Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) depending on your needs.
- Conveniently switch between units to ensure clarity in temperature readings.
Key Benefits
By understanding and customizing these features, you can:
- Optimize the chiller’s performance for your specific needs.
- Protect vital components, such as the compressor.
- Ensure accurate temperature readings for effective cooling.
