AT type freezer, consult your dealer of a neighboring engineering shop of high pressure gas. ■ Leave the remote alarm switch “OFF” until the inside temperature of the freezer reaches the appropriate level. Leave the back-up system switch “OFF” as well for AT type.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This equipment is designed to be safe at least under the following conditions (based on the IEC 1010-1): 1. Indoor use; 2. Altitude up to 2000 m; 3. Ambient temperature 5 C to 40 4. Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperature up to 31 C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 5.

FREEZER COMPONENTS 1. Lock 2. Door: Hinged type. The door can be opened in any angle on the way to full open. 3. Magnetic door gasket: Seals the door and prevents leakage of cold air. 4. Inner lid: Serves as a means of reducing cold air leakage when the door is open. Remove the frost before it is accumulated too much.
“ON”. 5. Mode setting key. (PV/SV): This key has functions. PV: Present freezer compartment temperature is displayed. SV: Setting temperature is displayed. When the desired temperature is set, this key should be passed (SV side). The temperature setting can be done by using (6),(7),(8), keys, initial setting temperature is -85 6.
To operate this unit properly and to obtain maximum performance, install the unit in a location with the following conditions: ■ A location not subjected to direct sunlight The direct sunlight to the freezer causes too high temperature and the chamber temperature may not reach -85 ■ A location with adequate ventilation Leave at least 10 cm around the unit for ventilation.

INSTALLATION Installation 1. Remove the packaging materials and tapes Remove all transportation packaging materials and tapes. Open the doors and ventilate the unit. If the outside panels are dirty, clean them with a diluted neutral dishwashing detergent. (Undiluted detergent can damage the plastic components. For the dilution, refer to the instruction of the detergent.) After the cleaning with the diluted detergent, always wipe it off with a wet cloth.
CO2 back-up test switch. 10. Now you can put articles into the freezer chamber. Switch off the remote alarm switch and the CO2 back-up switch (AT type only) temporarily when putting in a lot of warm articles. Switch on these switches again after a certain period of operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Temperature setting Table 1 shows the basic operation method. Perform key operations in the sequence indicated in the table. The example in the table is based on the assumption that the temperature is -70 Note: The unit is set at the factory that the chamber temperature is -85C. Table 1.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Alarm temperature setting This unit is provided with the high temperature alarm. The setting of high temperature alarm is 10 C (The setting value is 2 kinds.) higher than the setting of chamber temperature. The procedure in table 2 shows the sequence to set the high temperature alarm at 15 temperature.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Setting of alarm resume time The alarm buzzer is silenced by pressing BUZZER key on the control panel during alarm condition (Initial setting 100: The remote alarm is not silenced). The buzzer will be activated again after certain suspension if the alarm condition is continued. The suspension time can be set by following the procedure shown in the Table 3 below.

Operation after power failure The set value (setting of chamber temperature and alarm temperature) is memorized by nonvolatile memory. Accordingly, the freezer resumes the operation with setting before power failure. Indication C (or 15 C) higher Alarm lamp blinks.

• The liquid CO gas cylinder should be a siphon type. • Use the pipe enclosed with the freezer for the setting. (The extension of the pipe is not permitted gas, there is a likelihood of oxygen depletion in the vicinity gas injection device as a back-up system.
because of cooling capacity.) TEMPERATURE RECORDER The figure below shows the description of a temperature recorder. provided with model AT type. Warning indicator Door Feeding of chart 1. Open the door and let down the lever of the penholder; the pen point is apart from the chart. (Fig. 1) 2.

Note: ■ Turn off the back-up switch when the freezer operation is stopped or the back-up system is not used. The battery for back-up system is discharged when the back-up switch is kept on. ■ The additional felt pen or recording paper is available from Sanyo sales agency.
, or dry ice. Switch off the alarm and back-up system of AT type. Switch off the power supply. 2. Open the door and remove the inner lid. Leave the freezer as it is. The water remaining in the freezer compartment should be wiped up.
Alarm test key cannot actuate the alarm function ■ The alarm test key does not function when the power switch of the freezer is OFF. ■ When only the buzzer or only the alarm is actuated by the alarm test key, the unactuated part is out of order, and must be replaced.
