9.5 Alarm Operation

9.5.1 Setting the Alarms

In RevcoValue
models, the warm and cold alarm setpoints
PLUS
are set automatically with a 10ºC bracket. For example, if the
operating setpoint is -75ºC, the warm and cold alarms will be -
65ºC and 85ºC respectively.
You can change the bracket value in Program Mode, as explained
in Section 8.7 on page 7.

9.5.2 Silencing the Alarms

In Revco Value
models, you can silence alarms by turning

the key switch to the ON (middle) position.

10 Backup System (Optional)

When you purchase a built-in CO
system for the freezer, backup control is integrated into Program
Mode (described in Section 8.7 on page 7).
Always purchase the cylinders which are equipped with
Note:
siphon tubes for withdrawing liquid from the bottom of
the cylinder. CO
cylinders must be kept at room
2
temperature to function properly. LN
functional at any reasonable temperature.

The following are precautions for using liquid CO
backup systems.
WARNING!
If a CO
valve is knocked off, the cylinder becomes a deadly
and completely unguided missile. Transport the
cylinders in a handtruck or cart with secure chain ties
for the cylinder. After cylinders are connected to the
equipment, securely attach them with chains to a
solid, stationary object such as a building column.
WARNING!

Always wear protective eyewear and clothing when
changing cylinders or working on the piping systems
attached to an active source of liquid refrigerant.

CAUTION!
to
sure that the injection solenoid is energized to allow all
the liquid to bleed off instead of being trapped in the

the pressure relief device, which could damage the
freezer and requires replacing if it is activated.

provided with the free-standing package is installed on
the freezer.

10.2 Installation

Field installed systems are supplied with complete installation
and operating instructions. If your system is factory installed, the
freezer is shipped with a coiled length of tubing to connect the
freezer to the bottles:
3/8 in. OD copper tubing for connection to the CO
5/8 in. OD copper tubing covered with Armaflex' insulating
tubing for connection to the LN
Straighten the coiled tubing and connect one end to the labeled
connection on the freezer and the other end to the supply bottle or
building supply fitting.

10.3 Startup

To activate the backup system;
1. Follow the instructions in Section 8 to power on the freezer
and set temperature and alarm setpoints.
2. Enter program mode and check the BUS setpoint value,
following the instructions in Section 8.7 on page 7. Adjust
this value if necessary.
3. Wait until the cabinet temperature has pulled down to below
the BUS setpoint value. This is important, because if you
2
turn on the Battery Enable Switch (Step 4) while the cabinet
is still warm, you may drain the battery.
4. When the freezer cabinet temperature is below the BUS
setpoint, activate the backup system by turning on the Battery
Enable Switch:
Remove the panel near the lower left corner of the front of
the freezer.
Turn on the Battery Enable Switch. Both the power switch
and the battery switch must be on for the backup system to
operate.
Replace the panel.
