General Recommendations

5 General
This section includes some general recommendations for your unit.
Recommendations
5.1 Temperature
Monitoring
IMPORTANT NOTE We recommend the use of a redundant and
independent temperature monitoring system so that the freezer can be
monitored continuously for performance commensurate with the value of
product stored. Please use the probe in glycol bottle (if present) as the
temperature reading reference point for all calibration / validation
procedures.
