Power cord retaining bracket Connect Unit to Electrical Note See the serial tag on the side of the unit for electrical specifications or refer to the electrical schematics in this manual.
Section 1 Installation and Start-up Freezer Start-Up With the freezer properly installed and connected to power, system set points can be entered. The following set points can be entered in Settings mode: Control temperature, high temperature alarm set point, low temperature alarm set point, and (optional) BUS set point.
Section 1 Installation and Start-up Set High Temperature The high temperature alarm will activate an audible/visual warning when the freezer chamber temperature has reached or exceeded the high Alarm temperature alarm set point. To set the high temperature alarm set point: 1.
Section 1 Installation and Start-up Run Mode The Run mode is the default mode for the freezer. Run mode displays the cabinet temperature on the temperature display under normal operating conditions. In addition, Run mode allows the high stage heat exchange temperature to be displayed.
Calibrate Section 2 Calibrate Mode Once the freezer has stabilized, the control probe may need to be calibrated. Calibration frequency is dependent on use, ambient conditions and accuracy required. A good laboratory practice would require at least an annual calibration check. On new installations, all parameters should be checked after the stabilization period.
Section 3 Alarms The 700 Series ULT freezer alarms are displayed on the freezer control panel. When an alarm is active, the indicator next to the alarm description will light and there will be an audible alarm. Press the Silence key to disable the audible alarm for the ringback period.
15 minutes. Probe Failure Alarm The microprocessor in 700 series freezers continually scans all probes including the control probe, heat exchanger probe and condenser probe to ensure that they are operating properly. Should an error be detected, the "Probe Failure"...

Handling Liquid Nitrogen Appendix A Warning Contact of liquid nitrogen or cold gas with the skin or eyes may cause serious freezing (frostbite) injury. ▲ Handle liquid nitrogen carefully. The extremely low temperature can freeze human flesh very rapidly. When spilled on a surface the liquid tends to cover it completely and intimately, cooling a large area.

Appendix A Appendix A Handling Liquid Nitrogen Handling Liquid Nitrogen Introduction The safe handling and use of liquid nitrogen in cryogenic refrigerators and dewar flasks is largely a matter of knowing the potential hazards and using common-sense procedures based on that knowledge. There are two important properties of liquid nitrogen that present potential hazards: 1.
Page 90
Appendix A Handling Liquid Nitrogen Use proper transfer equipment. Use a phase separator or special filling funnel to prevent splashing and spilling when transferring liquid nitrogen into or from a dewar or refrigerator. The top of the funnel should be partly covered to reduce splashing.
Handling Liquid CO Appendix B Warning High concentrations of CO gas can cause asphyxiation! OSHA Standards specify that employee exposure to carbon dioxide in any eight- hour shift of a 40-hour work week shall not exceed the eight-hour time weighted average of 5000 PPM (0.5% CO ).
First Aid Appendix C If a person seems to become dizzy or loses consciousness while working with liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide, move to a well-ventilated area immediately. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. Keep warm and at rest.
