INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Federal Industries Merchandiser. This manual contains important instructions for installing and servicing the RSSM, Refrigerated Self-Service Merchandisers. A repair parts list is also included in the manual. Read all of these documents carefully before installing or servicing your case.
This is important installation, operation, or service information. If you ignore the message, you may damage your case. The warning and safety labels shown throughout this manual are placed on your Federal Industries case at the factory. Follow all warning label instructions. If any warning or safety labels become lost or damaged, call our customer service department at 1(800) 356-4206 for replacements.
PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Inspection For Shipping Damage You are responsible for filing all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons and crates for damage upon arrival. If there is damage to shipping crates, cartons, or if a shortage is found, note this on (all copies) of the Bill Of Lading prior to signing.
Removing Case From Shipping Skid CAUTION: If a Johnson bar or pry bar is used to move the case, make certain that the case is lifted under the welded steel frame, and not by the end panels of the case. Damage to the ends will result from lifting under the end panels.
Lights Standard Top Light The case comes with one standard top light which is internally wired to the power source. The light switch is located in the top light housing under the top canopy. On RSSM’S the light switch is located on the left top ceiling behind the air discharge honey comb.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS Electrical Supply Wiring DANGER: Improper or faulty hookup of electrical components in the display case can result in severe injury or death. THIS CASE MUST BE GROUNDED Permanent Connection (Standard) -Only a licensed electrician must perform all case electrical connections. -All electrical wiring hookups must be done in accordance with all applicable local, regional, or national electrical standards.
Cord Connection (Optional) -A factory installed optional power cord is properly sized to the amperage requirements of the merchandiser. See the electrical data plate located on the ceiling of the merchandiser for the proper power requirements for each merchandiser. - The cord is factory installed protruding from the rear of the merchandiser. -A separate circuit for each display merchandiser is required to prevent other appliances on the same circuit from overloading the circuit and causing a power loss.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Initial Start-Up -After completing the items in the installation section of this manual. The case is ready to be put into service. On self-contained models, the service valves on the refrigeration system are back-seated when the unit leaves the factory. -RSSM/RSSD cases are designed to operate at 40º...

Adjusting the set point The set point is what determines how cold the display case will hold food and beverage. To adjust the set point press and hold the button approx. three seconds until the display begins to flash a number. Then press the use the button to scroll number up (colder) or press the button to scroll number lower (warmer).

Coil probe - Open or Shorted and needs replacing Carel Control EO = Air sensing probe - Open or shorted E1 = Evap. coil probe - Open or shorted Dual Pressure Control (Self-Contained Models Only) The dual pressure control is used as a safety device and is factory set.
Shelves The RSSM has 15” solid metal shelves as standard. These shelves are installed at the factory. The shelves are adjustable in 1-5/8” increments. To adjust the shelves, first remove the shelf from the shelf brackets. Remove the shelf bracket from the shelf standard and reposition as desired.
The control parameters are set at the factory and cannot be manually changed in the field. Control parameter changes can only be made by downloading a new set of parameters using a program chip supplied by Federal Industries. The pre-set control parameters are listed on the chart in the Settings Chart below.

Control Display The control display is located in the unit base. It is programmed to display the current set point associated with the control sensor located inside the air duct at the top of the case. Minimum Run Timer Feature The unit controller is programmed to have the condensing unit run a minimum of 5 minutes, regardless of the control temp being satisfied.
The controller is set from the factory to run on R449a refrigerant and will not need any changes to the control unless another refrigerant is used. Note: Check your State and Local regulations for approved refrigerants for your install location. Federal Industries is not liable for any alternate refrigerants used.
4. Suction line must be insulated the entire length with Armaflex (or equivalent). Do not run liquid line inside insulation with suction line. 5. If remote control is not supplied by Federal Industries, the remote high/low-pressure control must be mounted, wired and pressures set by the installer.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning the Condenser Filter This refrigerated case is equipped with a reusable condenser coil filter, which filters large dust particles from the air before it enters the condenser coil fins. It is very important that this filter be cleaned every two weeks to maintain proper refrigeration performance and prevent compressor failure.
Cleaning Condenser Coil Continued NOTICE: Condenser coil or optional air filter must be cleaned a minimum of twice per month to insure proper refrigeration performance and prevent compressor failure. In some environments, it may be necessary to clean more frequently. FAILURE TO CLEAN CONDENSER COIL WILL VOID COMPRESSOR WARRANTY.
Daily Cleaning The case should be cleaned thoroughly, as described in the weekly cleaning section, before it is used for the first time. NOTICE: Avoid splashing or soaking any electrical components with water to prevent electrical damage to the case. NOTICE: Shut off lights and power switches and remove all products from case.
Weekly Cleaning NOTICE: Avoid splashing or soaking any electrical components with water to prevent electrical damage to the case. NOTICE: Shut off lights and power switches and remove all products from case. Allow sufficient time for the unit to reach room temperature before proceeding with cleaning.
