Condensate Pump Standard The pump is mounted in the base compartment and is designed to automatically remove the condensate water that collects from defrosting the evaporator coil. The pump has a built-in tank that collects water from the evaporator coil defrost cycle. When the pump tank is full the pump switches on and pumps water to a remote location for disposal.
Condensate Evaporator Pan Shipped Loose (OPTION) If the optional high output condensate pan was ordered it will be shipped loose in a separate box. This high output pan must be field mounted and wired by a licensed electrician. If there is already a factory condensate pan and mounting brackets installed in the base compartment they must be removed before installing the optional high output pan.
Shelves The ECSS has solid metal shelves with LED lighting as standard. There are (3) brackets required for each shelf (2) long brackets and (1) short brackets. The long brackets are for the long side of case and the short brackets are at the short end of case.

3. Set the shelf on to the brackets and place the bracket retainer tip into slots on shelf. 4. Push shelf light cords into plastic shelf cord retainer clip located on inside of shelf bracket. 5. Remove the cap from the appropriate female light sockets, only on cases built before 12/1/2022.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS User Controls ELECTRONIC CONTROL / DISPLAY POWER SWITCH LIGHT SWITCH Power Switch The unit has a power switch that turns off power to the entire unit, including the condensate evaporator and the lights. This switch is located behind a lift-up panel on the unit base.
Powering on control To turn refrigeration control power on, press and hold for approx. five seconds. The display will read “On” while the button is depressed. When the control powers on, the display will read the current set point numbers 1 thru 9. The compressor run indicator will illuminate on the display, meaning that the compressor is running.
Entering manual defrost mode To initiate a manual defrost press and hold the button approx. 5 seconds. The control will read “dEF” while the button is being held. The defrost is initiated when the defrost mode indicator illuminates on the display. The control display will then return to reading the set point.
Control parameter changes can only be made by downloading a new set of parameters via a program chip supplied by Federal Industries. Operation The control uses two sensors, one located in the air stream and one located on the evaporator coil.
