INTRODUCTION Testing Standards These display cases were designed and tested using the following industry standards: NSF 7 – Commercial Refrigerators and Freezers (ANSI Approved) (equipment certified by NSF) NSF 51 – Food Equipment Materials (ANSI Approved) (equipment certified by NSF) ...
Delivery Inspection Zero Zone display cases are carefully factory-tested, inspected, and properly packed to ensure delivery in the best possible condition. The equipment should be unwrapped and checked for damage immediately upon delivery. DAMAGE MUST BE NOTED AT TIME OF DELIVERY, AND ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES MUST BE FILED WITH THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY, NOT WITH ZERO ZONE.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION Snap a chalk line at the locations for the front and back positions of the base rails. Mark locations of all joints (front and back). Using a laser level or transit, find the highest point along both base rail position lines. Using the high point as a reference, mark the difference directly on the floor to each joint (front and back).
1/2". For low shipping height applications, Zero Zone has optional expandable bases. As shipped, the base is 1 3/4" tall. It is attached with spacers that allow the base to slide away from the bottom of the case, creating a gap that allows the use of forklift blades thicker than 1 3/4".
Condensate Evaporation System Zero Zone remote cases can be equipped with an automatic condensate evaporation system. The system uses a pump and drain pan located behind the kick plate and a condensate evaporator pan mounted on the top of the case.
Shelves Zero Zone manufactures many different styles of shelves, baskets, and product stops. Some of the baskets may be reversed and used as a typical shelf. Shelves are strapped to the shelf brackets for shipping. The fully assembled shelves are installed in cases prior to shipping.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION SHELF MAXIMUM LOAD ITEM DESCRIPTION PER SHELF 22" and 24" deep 250 lbs. Bakery or Meat Brackets At 0° 250 lbs. At 5° 250 lbs. At 10° 150 lbs. At 15° 100 lbs. Ice Shelves 500 lbs. Heavy duty shelves are available and are labeled as such.
GENERAL See Figure 17 on page 34 Figure 18 on page 35 for the typical component layout of the 30" door case. The kick plate must be removed to gain access to the drain clean out. Disassemble the kick plate by removing the 2 or 3 metal screws located in the kick rail.
SERVICE Air Curtain Velocity Air curtain velocity is affected by stocking levels, coil frost loads, temperature, fan condition, and measurement method. Zero Zone recommends using an Alnor Velometer Jr. , set to the 0-to-800 fpm range. Air velocity should be measured at the back edge of the discharge air honeycomb;...
The end frames on the cases have cut-outs built into them to allow for case-to-case field piping, if desired. Zero Zone recommends a liquid line drier and moisture-indicating sight glass installed on each case prior to the expansion valve, these are also a factory-installed option.
There are many control options available for multiple case defrost systems. Wiring diagrams and instructions can be obtained by contacting Zero Zone’s Service Department. External wiring should be sized according to the amperage rating stamped on the serial plate. The serial plate is located on the ceiling inside the left-hand door.

ELECTRICAL that need to be connected between the cases. The liquid line solenoid valve needs to be installed in the common liquid line before the liquid is distributed to the cases. The controls operate the system as a pump down defrost. When the display case begins defrost, the liquid line solenoid valve, fans and anti- sweat heaters are de-energized.
The case has the probe located at the center of the coil in the center of the bottom row of tubes. If the case is so equipped, the defrost termination temperature is 50°F. Zero Zone provides a defrost termination thermostat unless a control system defrost probe is requested.
Sizing and component selection depend on the type of defrost, size, and location of high side refrigeration system. Zero Zone freezers equipped for hot gas defrost consist of a side port distributor and a TXV check valve for coil defrost, and a suction line check valve to bypass hot gas to the serpentine coil.
Remove the front fasteners on the mullion and remove the front strike plate to access the heater. The case sill heater is located under the front metal strike plate below the door opening. Contact Zero Zone’s Service Department for instructions for servicing this heater.
