Frigoboat refrigeration systems are designed to preserve foodstuffs, drinks, and other consumables intended for human consumption, and at normal refrigerator and freezer temperatures. Any use other than that specified above invalidates the warranty and releases Veco NA LLC of any liability for consequent damage, failure, malfunction, injury, illness, or death.
Page 4: Chapter 3 W35F, W50F - Water Cooled With Pump
Chapter 3 W35F, W50F - Water cooled with pump NOTE: The W35F and W50F compressors are designed to work with sea water only. They are not designed to use water from other sources, i.e. water tanks, skin tanks, or coolant pumped through secondary heat exchangers.
Page 5 making sure that the keel cooler fits up flush with the hull, chamfering the hole if necessary. The rubber O-ring must then be installed and properly seated in the groove provided. Do not install the Keel Cooler without the rubber O-ring. Adequate sealant of the correct type must be used, and a bead applied to the area between the O-ring and the shaft of the Keel Cooler is all that is normally required.

NOTE: Never operate a Keel Cooled system while the boat is out of the water without having first rigged some form of temporary water cooling on the Keel Cooler. If a Capri air cooled condensing unit or an Air Add-On air cooled condenser is installed together with a Keel Cooler, ensure that the fan is operated only when the boat is out of the water, and then switched off when the boat is launched.
Page 7 LED Alarm Indicator - Diagnostic Diode A 12v LED may be installed across the "+" and "D" (or “D/I”) terminals of the controller to indicate a failure condition. On the Coastal MK3 one is installed on the front panel and labeled “Fault”. On the Merlin II a red LED is installed on the face of the PCB and labeled “Alarm”.
Page 8: Chapter 6 Aluminum H-, F- And B-Type Evaporators (Horizontal, Flat, Bin)
Chapter 6 Aluminum H-, F- and B-Type Evaporators (Horizontal, Flat, Bin Type) Location All types of evaporator need to be located as high as possible in the icebox to maintain the correct temperatures, with consideration being given to access to the interior freezing section in the H and B- type.
Page 9 The section of foam insulation that is free to slide on the tubing should be positioned starting at the point where the tubing exits the icebox and leads back to the compressor. It is neither necessary nor desirable to add more insulation to the tubing, as any sweating or ice formation seen on the exposed section of tubing indicates an overcharged condition which will require remedial action.
Page 10: Chapter 7 Mechanical Thermostat For H-, B-, And F-Evaporators
Chapter 7 Mechanical Thermostat for H, B, and F Evaporators (See separate instruction sheet for Coastal MK3) Refrigerator & Freezer thermostats There are two different thermostats for different applications. The refrigerator version is mounted in a white housing and is designed to be used where the evaporator is mounted in an icebox that is intended to be kept at refrigerator temperatures.

Chapter 8 Spillover Kit Installation Instructions Mounting The Frigoboat Spillover Kit (with integral mechanical thermostat) should be installed on the barrier dividing the freezer and refrigerator sections, on the refrigerator side, and no lower than at mid-height. Screws may be used after drilling holes in the plastic flange. A 2.25”...
Page 12: Chapter 9 Quick Connect Refrigerant Fittings
Chapter 9 Quick Connect Refrigerant Fittings Each component of a Frigoboat system is fitted with one male and one female proprietary Quick Connect fitting that connects to a corresponding fitting on other components of the system. The Keel Cooler systems are comprised of three components, and special attention is required to avoid incorrect connections.
Page 13: Chapter 10 Electrical
Chapter 10 Electrical General (a) The use of electrical grease and other anti-corrosion products is strongly discouraged. (b) Do not attempt to make wiring connections or alterations with power supplied to system. (c) Always disconnect the power supply by removing the fuse or turning off the breaker before working on electrical components and/or connections.
Page 14  Paris These systems have no manual speed selection capability. The thermostat wires must be connected directly to terminals C and T on the controller.  W35F and W50F The thermostat wires must be connected with one wire to the “T” terminal on the Speed Board (or Merlin II if installed), and the other to the vacant terminal of the high temperature cut-out mounted on the condensing coil.

The addition of even a small amount of leak detecting fluid, leak sealer, extra refrigerant oil, “conditioner”, flushing fluid, Thawzone, or other substances may cause irreversible damage.
Page 16 Probable cause Action Remove board and jumper terminals C and T on the Faulty Speed Board or Merlin II (if controller. Note: When thermostat wires are connected fitted) directly to C and T on the controller, the compressor will run only at its slowest speed. Speed Board must not be installed with Merlin II Disconnect the controller by removing the retaining screw.
