    Controller Operation Temperature The temperature in the Cryostorage freezer is measured at the location of the thermocouple. The installation location is different depending on the model of the freezer but usually the thermocouple is positioned level with the top storage box. This may mean that temperatures displayed may be slightly warmer than the temperature experienced by the samples or product stored in the freezer.

    Controller Operation has occurred. This occurs because the control cannot differentiate between a very high resistance (when a thermistor is in LN ) and an infinite resistance (when an open circuit appears in the level sensing circuitry). Alarms and Error Conditions The CS200 SERIES Control System control monitors many different conditions in the freezer and has a full complement of alarms associated with these different conditions.
