GLOSSARY Term Used Definition Alternating Current. Activity An activity is defined as a human interaction with the cabinet, such as opening the cabinet door to access the product inside. Activity Sensor State Using input sensors to determine if there has been any activity or interaction with the cooler unit. Alarm An audible or visual signal from the controller which warns that one or more parameters are outside of requirements. Ambient Temperature The average air temperature outside of the cooler unit. ATEX Mark The ATEX Mark signifies that the product conforms to the relevant category standards for devices located in potentially explosive environments, required by the European Economic Area (EEA). CCC Mark The CCC Mark signifies that the product conforms to the relevant product standards required by China.

Term Used Definition Control Probe An input device which provides data about a parameter. Cooler Unit The unit containing the refrigeration system and an insulated space for storing and displaying product. Counts Counts are the number of recorded instances of a particular event, most usually associated with Alarm Parameters. cUL Mark The cUL Mark signifies that the product conforms to the relevant safety compliance required by the USA and Canada. Direct Current. Defrost Cycle A mode where the refrigeration system switches off the compressor to defrost the evaporator coil.
Page 84
Term Used Definition Evaporator Temperature The temperature detected on the outside of the evaporator coil. Graphical User Interface. HACCP Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points is a preventive approach to food safety and storage of medicines, where refrigeration control is recognized as a critical control point. HC Compatible Suitable for use with flammable refrigerants in refrigerators complying with IEC60335-2-89. High Voltage Any part of the refrigeration system which operates on voltages that are hazardous. Impedence The opposition to the flow of electrical current in an electrical circuit when a voltage is applied. Input Ports (i/p) These are the connector ports on the back of the controller unit for inbound control signals.
Page 85
Term Used Definition Output Ports (o/p) These are the connector ports on the back of the controller unit for outbound signals to controlled devices. Over Voltage A state where the supply power voltage is higher than the design limits of the equipment. Parameter A quantifiable measure of some kind. Parameters are used to control the refrigeration system. Examples of parameters are temperature and time. Perishable Mode The mode used when the goods being stored can be damaged if not kept continuously cool, for example medicines and dairy products. Standby modes are disabled. This function complies with rules and regulations under HACCP. Probes Probes are devices which generate a signal used to control devices as a result of a detected environmental change. Probes are a kind of sensor, and the two terms are often used interchangibly. Products Products are the items being stored inside the refrigerated cabinet, for example chilled drinks. Pulldown Time The time taken between when the compressor and evaporator fan starts working and when the cooled product reaches the...

Term Used Definition Sensor Sensors are devices which generate a signal used to control devices as a result of a detected environmental change. Probes are a kind of sensor, and the two terms are often used interchangibly. Setpoint The preferred target value for a given parameter. Soft Start A controlled time delay between when the power comes on and when the compressor is allowed to start. Standby Modes A sequence of control modes used to save energy during periods of lower use. States The state of a device (eg; 'on' or 'oFF') is used by the SCS Connect controler to make logic decisions when controlling the device. Terminal Alarm A Terminal Alarm is caused by a significant fault. If the Terminal Alarm fault count exceeds a certain number, then the refrigeration system is shut down to protect it against damage.
FAULTS AND ALARMS Quick Read The SCS Connect contains the following fault protection mechanisms: FAULTS (Displays Alarm Symbol) Door Fail Excessive Door Open Counts Over Voltage Under Voltage Condenser Overtemp Maximum Compressor Starts in 1hr ALARMS (Displays Alarm Symbol and Alarm Code) Door Left Open Alarm (dor)

Alarms Alarm Codes Reporting an alarm early will minimise the down time of the cooler. An alarm code should always be supplied when reporting an alarm. Fault Fault Possible Causes and Actions Code Door Open Closing the door will clear this fault. The door may not be dor * The door has been left open close properly due to sagging, and may require adjustment. Excessive Condenser Overtemp Check that nothing is blocking the condenser e.g. boxes, and The condenser has seen multiple then reset by power cycling. If this fault continues to happen, overtemperature conditions in a short space check that the condenser fan is functioning correctly. of time. NTC Failure Either the main temperature sensor probe or The temperature probe needs replacing. The system will not the condenser temperature probe (if fitted) run while this fault is present.
