LAUDA-GFL Versafreeze Freezer Cabinets for the long-term storage of organic substances, for example, operate silently and with exceptional reliability. Insulation consisting of vacuum insulation panels and polyurethane foam is the key to its eco- nomical energy consumption. The refrigeration compartment is made entirely of stainless steel.

The freezer cabinet must not be operated in hazardous areas. LAUDA Freezer Cabinets used in laboratories are not classified as medical devices. They are not subject to national or in- ternational medical device law and must be used accordingly.
Disconnect all poles on the appliance from the power supply before commencing maintenance and repair work (pull the mains plug). The warranty does not cover the free repair of malfunctions resulting from improper installation and handling. Only trained and qualified personnel are permitted to perform service and repair work on refrigeration equipment.
Under table installation (only applies for VF 15040 and VF 15085) The cover panel on the deep-freeze appliance must be removed prior to installation under a tabletop. When the appliance door is open, you can reach the screw connection for the cover by inserting a Phillips screwdriver through the opening on the right side of the upper housing frame.
Freezer cabinets installed under tabletops must be positioned a minimum of 60 mm away from other appliances or walls so that the aspirated cooling air can circulate freely. Once the freezer cabinet has been moved to its place of installation, it must be secured in position with the locking feet.
Commissioning Caution: Due to the low temperatures in the refrigeration compartment, suitable protective gloves must al- ways be worn when storing and retrieving refrigerated goods. Arms must also be covered. Caution: Do not leave the freezer cabinet keys near the appliance or within the reach of children. Do not store acids and alkalies that can erode the materials, hazardous substances that emit harmful va- pors, or highly flammable and/or explosive substances inside the appliance (DGUV Information 213-850).
Operating and display elements on the touch screen unit The three large colored symbols on the left of the display indicate the ACTUAL temperature at the most important points on the appliance: the refrigeration compartment (blue field) and condenser (purple field), while the orange field shows the voltage of the internal battery.

Switching the appliance on and off The appliance can only be switched on and off from the user profile "User" (see points 6.3 and 6.4 in the operating in- structions). Switch on the appliance by setting the main switch (see point 5 of the operating instructions) to position "I". Approx.
ADMIN All data and settings that were preset by the manufacturer of the freezer appliance, such as the permitted or possible set point limits for the refrigeration compartment temperature, are stored under the "ADMIN" user profile. The operator cannot modify the settings in this profile. 6.4.1 Switching the appliance on and off Once the user profile has been changed, the display switches to the start screen.
Language selection The only languages currently available are German and English Proceed as follows: Menu Settings Language After selecting the language, press the switch below the additional LED display. Touch VF XXXYY on the display to switch to the controller view. Refrigeration compartment temperature set point Once the refrigeration device has been switched on at the main switch and the touch screen unit (see above), the dis-...
Changing the password Only the passwords for a specific user profile and all subordinate levels can be changed from the relevant user profile. An Admin1 can change all passwords, a User can only change the passwords for a subordinate Guest. The number of stars in the yellow padlock at the top of the screen indicates which user profile is currently active.
Function description LAUDA Versafreeze freezer cabinet models VF 15040, 60040 and 70040 are equipped with a high-performance com- pressor and operate within a variable temperature range of -0 °C to -40 °C. Models VF 15085, 60085, and 70085 are equipped with two high-performance compressors and operate at a temperature range of -50 °C to -85 °C.
Data transfer via USB In order to carry out a data transfer, the Service or Admin1 user profile must be selected. Proceed as follows: Select Menu Select USB Select Export history Insert USB stick. After the USB stick has been recognized, tap the save symbol. After transferring the data, save and remove the USB stick Internet connection The touch control unit can also send alarms by e-mail.
7.3.2 E-mail configuration Pressing the: Menu E-mail configuration E-mail server buttons opens a window for configuring your e-mail server settings. Save your entries before exiting. 7.3.3 Alarm management Since all alarms indicating a possible fault may impact the proper operation of the appliance, we always recommend select- ing Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 rather than the Warning setting.
Optional Water cooling Installation of a heat exchanger (water cooling agent) instead of the condenser. The heat exchanger reduces the heat emis- sion of the unit to the ambient considerably and extends the permissible operating temperature range. The regulation is pressure-controlled by the Freezer.
7.4.1 Setting the cooling water volume regulator The setting of the cooling water volume regulator is only necessary if the in-house cooling water is significantly warmer or colder than it was set in test mode. The value of the cooling water volume regulator set in test mode can be found on the label on the cover of the cooling water volume regulator.
Alarm limit values Setting a limit value for the door alarm delay Tap the Menu symbol on the touch screen unit. In the parameter level, scroll down to the USr user level, tap parameter A6, set the required limit value, and save. A timer starts when the door is opened. If the timer exceeds the preset delay time, the door alarm is triggered.
Alarm and potential-free contact When a malfunction occurs, an alarm is triggered. Each alarm is issued in the form of an acoustic alarm signal and a visual alarm display. All triggered alarms are stored in the controller. When an acoustic alarm signal is issued, the potential-free alarm contact sim- ultaneously connects to the in-house fault monitoring system.
Before sending any appliances, the owner must submit a legally binding decla- ration that the appliance is free of harmful contamination and hazardous substances resulting from its use. LAUDA-GFL laboratory equipment is intended exclusively for commercial use and must not be disposed of via public dis- posal facilities.
