The chest freezer must not be operated in hazardous areas. LAUDA chest freezers used in laboratories are not classified as medical devices. They are not subject to national or inter- national medical device law and must be used accordingly.
Before starting up The information in these operating instructions must be read and observed without fail. This is the only way to ensure the fault-free functioning of the freezer appliance. Safety instructions are identified by the following warning symbols. Read and observe the op- Caution! Warning indicating cold erating instructions...
Before the appliance is moved to its place of installation, the electrical system (see point 5 of these instructions) and, if necessary, the alarm system (see point 8.5) must be connected. Ensure that the connection cable is not damaged when the freezer appliance is moved.
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.

Function description LAUDA Versafreeze chest freezer models VF 20040 C, VF 55040 C and VF 75040 C are equipped with a high-perfor- mance compressor and operate within a variable temperature range of -0 °C to -40°C. Models VF 20085 C, VF 55085 C and VF 75085 C are equipped with two high-performance compressors and operate at a temperature range between - 50 °C and -86°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. Once 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 Email configuration Pressing the Menu Email configuration Email server buttons opens a window for configuring your email 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.
Water cooling equipment option Installation of a heat exchanger (water refrigerant) instead of a condenser. The heat exchanger significantly reduces the heat emitted by the device into the surrounding air, while expanding the permissible working temperature range. The temperature is pressure-controlled by the freezer appliance. Suitable for connection to a recooling system or water supply (external thread connection for pressure hose ½...
7.4.1 Adjusting the cooling water flow regulator The cooling water flow regulator only needs to be adjusted if the on-site cooling water is significantly warmer or colder than the set value used during the test run. This set value can be found on the label on the cover of the cooling water flow regulator.
Alarm limit values Setting a limit value for the cover 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 cover 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.
Any old appliances received will be sent for recycling. Before sending any appliances, the owner must submit a legally bind- ing declaration that the appliance is free of harmful contamination and hazardous substances resulting from its use. LAUDA laboratory equipment is intended exclusively for commercial use and must not be disposed of via public disposal facilities.
