REFRIGERATOR COMPONENTS Control panel Details of control panel The control panel is comprised of temperature display, indicators, and keys. Indicators Temperature display Keys Indication on the temperature display At normal: display of current chamber temperature At temperature alarm: blink of chamber temperature At alarm by self-diagnostic: display of code [page 34].
Page 15
Function of each key The buzzer sounds again after 30 minutes (initial setting) even if the buzzer is stopped by depressing the buzzer stop key (BUZZER) when the same alarm status continues. The alarm indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds when other alarm is occurred in spite of buzzer stop period.
INSTALLATION LOCATION This unit must be installed in a location which meets all the conditions described below. If the unit is installed in a location which does not meet the conditions, its specified performance may not be achieved or malfunctioning and accidents may occur. A location not exposed to direct sunlight Avoid any location which is exposed to direct sunlight.
INSTALLATION When installing the unit, follow the steps below to secure the unit properly, and also be absolutely sure to connect the unit to ground. In addition, install a ground fault circuit breaker (on the unit’s power supply side) which is mandatory under the applicable laws and regulations.
START-UP PROCEDURE To commence the operation (initially or after temporary power off due to the cleaning, maintenance, etc.), follow the procedure below: The operation is resumed automatically at the recovery from power failure with the setting before power failure page 20] 1.
HANDLING OF STORAGE ITEMS Always follow the indication below when taking out/putting in the material. Put on the gloves when taking out/putting in the storage items in the freezer chamber. No gloves may cause injury. Do not put the excessive storage items in the chamber. Over putting disturbs the cold air circulation and degrades the cooling performance.
DURING/AFTER POWER FAILURE <Important> It is recommended the battery mounting box (option) is installed to notice the alarm (blink of alarm indicator, buzzer) in the event of power failure. Display of chamber temperature during power failure By depressing the buzzer stop key (BUZZER) during “power failure alarm”, the buzzer stops and the chamber temperature is displayed on the temperature display for 5 seconds.
SETTING OF CHAMBER TEMPERATURE Set the chamber temperature as needed to keep the material at appropriate temperature for long period of time. Setting range of chamber temperature: Refrigerator; between 2 C and 14 Freezer; between -35 C and -15 ...
LOCK OF CHAMBER TEMPERATURE SETTING The chamber temperature setting can be locked to avoid an accidental change. The change of chamber temperature setting is not accepted even if the key on the control panel is operated when the lock is ON. Display Lock status Setting of chamber temperature...
STOP OF FREEZER OPERATION Procedure to stop the freezer operation The freezer operation can be stopped when removing the frost in the freezer chamber or when no use of freezer. The current freezer temperature and OFF is displayed alternately on the temperature display when the indicator for freezer temperature lights.
STOP OF FREEZER OPERATION REEZER OPER Procedure to resume the freezer operation The following shows the procedure to resume the freezer operation. The freezer operation can be resumed by setting the freezer temperature. Example: Resume the freezer operation with -25 setting •...
DEFROST Defrost in refrigerator The following 2 types of defrosting methods are provided for the refrigerator. Both of them are controlled automatically. Cycle defrosting The refrigerator temperature is kept stable by ON/OFF operation of the compressor. When the compressor is OFF (stopped), the frost on the evaporator is melted by the heater. This defrosting never influences to the refrigerator temperature.
SETTING OF ALARM TEMPERATURE Setting of high temperature alarm (refrigerator) The abnormality (chamber temperature rise) is noticed by blinking of alarm indicator and chamber temperature display and sounding of the buzzer (15 minutes after blinking) if the chamber temperature exceeds the set value of high temperature alarm. Always set the high temperature alarm to protect the storage items from damage resulting from temperature rise.
Setting of low temperature alarm (refrigerator) The abnormality (chamber temperature drop) is noticed by blinking of alarm indicator and chamber temperature display and sounding of the buzzer (15 minutes after blinking) if the chamber temperature falls below the set value of low temperature alarm. Always set the low temperature alarm to protect the storage items from damage resulting from temperature drop.
SETTING OF ALARM TEMPERATURE ETTING OF Setting of high temperature alarm (freezer) The abnormality (chamber temperature rise) is noticed by blinking of alarm indicator and chamber temperature display and sounding of the buzzer (15 minutes after blinking) if the chamber temperature exceeds the set value of high temperature alarm.
Setting of low temperature alarm (freezer) The abnormality (chamber temperature drop) is noticed by blinking of alarm indicator and chamber temperature display and sounding of the buzzer (15 minutes after blinking) if the chamber temperature falls below the set value of low temperature alarm. Always set the low temperature alarm to protect the storage items from damage resulting from temperature drop.
SETTING OF BUZZER SUSPENDED PERIOD The abnormality is noticed again by sounding of the buzzer after certain suspended period (buzzer recovery timing) if the alarm status continues even after the buzzer is silenced by depressing the buzzer stop key (BUZZER). Always set the buzzer suspended period to avoid the wrong recognition of alarm status.
