If the milk cooler is bulkheaded through a wall, the wall must be free-standing and not load bearing against the milk cooler. Mueller offers an optional steel-formed structural support channel that may be installed in masonry walls to prevent the wall from bearing load on the milk cooler. Contact Mueller’s Sales Department for availability and pricing.

SECTION 4.0 - SENTRY II TEMPERATURE CONTROL Sentry II Temperature Control and Thermocouple Sensor The Sentry II control uses an electronic temperature control with digital display and a Type “T” thermocouple sensor. The following installation and calibration procedures are very important to ensure accurate sensing of the milk temperature.
Cut and insulate the foil shield and drain wire of the thermocouple extension cable at the top-rear junction box. The drain wire should be grounded (one end only) at the Sentry II control cabinet. Route the thermocouple extension cable from the rear junction box to the wall-mounted Sentry II.
Use non-metallic wire nuts, Mueller Part No. 8822361, to make all spliced thermocouple connections. If thermocouple extension cable is required, Mueller Part No. 8820166, connect the drain wire to the electrical ground at the Sentry II enclosure and cap and insulate the foil shield and drain wire at the opposite end.
Sentry II Temperature Control Lock and Unlock Features The temperature control is equipped with a locking feature to prevent unauthorized adjustments to the calibration, temperature set points, and unit of measure. Unlock - To unlock the temperature control for adjustment, press and hold the ▲ and ▼ keys (see Figure 25) simultaneously for two seconds.
The display will blink once when the keys are released, informing you that the control was successfully locked. See Section 4.6. Sentry II Temperature Control Unit of Measure (Fahrenheit or Celsius) 1. Unlock the temperature control as instructed in Section 4.6.
SECTION 5.0 - CHEMICAL DOSING WITH SENTRY II WATER BOX Determining Chemical Usage The chemical usage will vary depending on the make and manufacturer, the amount of water required for each cycle, and the water quality. It is very important to have your Chemical Supplier test the water supply and determine the proper usage and concentrations of each specific chemical.
Determining Water Usage Requirements The PLC in the Sentry II is supplied with a potentiometer that allows the volume of fill water to be adjusted for each specific installation. As the timer is turned clockwise to increase the volume of wash water, it automatically increases the electric drain time to ensure adequate drainage at the end of each cycle.
Wash Cycle Timing Sequence The Sentry II provides several programming options for the wash cycles. See Section 6 for detailed information. Chart 1 - Detergent Wash or Complete Wash NOTE: Fill and drain times are charted with the PLC potentiometer turned to the far counterclockwise position.
Chart 2 - Acid Cycle or Sanitize Cycle NOTE: Fill and drain times are charted with the PLC potentiometer turned to the far counterclockwise position. See Section 5.3 and Figure 26. Sentry II with Water Works Box Operating Instructions Effective April 1, 2000 Part No. 8823728...
SECTION 6.0 - SENTRY II PLC PROGRAMMING Sentry II Programmable Features, Options, and Recommendations The Sentry II offers the following programming options, allowing the cooling and washing procedures to be customized for each specific installation: Programming Selectable Reference Feature Description and Recommendations...
