• The appliance should be left for 5 hours before it is connected to the mains. If the appliance is connected before that, there is a risk of damaging the compressor.
• If for any reason the appliance is disconnected from the mains, please wait 10 minutes before re-connecting. The electronic starting device needs this time to cool down, before a safe re-start can be made.

Before use

• Before use, the interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a mild soap solution, and wiped off with a dry clean cloth. Never use any kind of solvent or other chemicals

Setting up the freezer

The freezer should not be placed where it might be splashed with water, in extreme high humidity or in direct sunlight. Any of these factors may lead to a reduction in performance and shorten the life span of the components. The freezer should be placed on a horizontal level, and should not be placed close to a heating appliance or heating tubes. Allow a minimum of 50mm (2”) clearance on the side and the back.

The side with the ventilation grill should have a clearance of at least 100 mm (4”) in order to allow the heat from the compressor motor to dissipate. Underneath the appliance these should be a gap of 15 mm approx. (1/2”). On a soft surface, e.g. carpet, it may be necessary to ensure the correct distance by means of spacers

Electrical supply

The electrical supply should always be in accordance with the rating plate on the back of the freezer. The supply must always be in accordance with the law and regulations regarding electrical safety. If any doubts, contact your supplier.

Starting Up

In case the compressor does not start when the freezer has been plugged in, the electrical supply may not be in order. Check if there is an electricity supply to the plug or if the fuse is blown. If not please go to trouble shooting page 5

Operating the freezer

at least 5-6 hours prior to loading of the freezer.

The freezer should not be loaded above the inside walls which is also the load line limit.

Please note: After the lid has been opened, there will be a vacuum created inside the freezer due to the low temperatures. Wait a few minutes before trying to re-open the lid otherwise the handle could be damaged.

Defrosting

In order for the freezer to work to its maximum efficiency the cabinet should be defrosted when a approx. 2mm thick ice layer has formed inside the cabinet.

The ice layer is easily removed with a plastic or wooden scraper.

Never use a sharp metal object which might will cause damage to the inner liner.

The defrosting frequency is determined mainly by two factors the usage pattern (number of lid openings) and the relative humidity.

Excess water can be drained out by using the drain water outlet on the front of the freezer.

Cleaning

Cleaning should be done when needed. When used in a dirty environment it might be necessary to remove the compressor compartment grill and clean the compressor compartment eventually with a vacuum cleaner.

If the cleaning process is neglected there is a risk that the performance of the freezer will be effected and even damage to the compressor could occur due to overheating.

Storage

If the freezer is stored for a period of the time, the lid should be kept open for free circulation of air inside the cabinet in order to avoid corrosion of the inner liner.

Temperature control VAC freezers

The temperature inside the freezer is controlled by the electronic controller placed in the front grill.

The controller has a digital readout of the temperature inside the cabinet, and the option of changing the temperature inside the cabinet.

External voltage and temperature alarm

Optionally the freezer can be equipped with a battery operated alarm box with connections for external alarm for voltage failure and temperature alarm. The battery should be exchanged every two years. Please note! When commissioning the freezer, the battery must be turned into its correct position

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Model XR30CH , format 32 x 74 mm, is a digital thermostat with off cycle defrost designed for refrigeration applications at normal temperature. It provides two relay outputs, one for the compressor, the other one can be used as light, for alarm signalling or as auxiliary output..

It is also provided with 2 NTC or PTC probe inputs, the first one for temperature control, the second one, optional, to connect to the HOT KEY terminals to signal the condenser temperature alarm or to display a temperature. The digital input can operate as third temperature probe.

The HOT KEY output allows to connect the unit, by means of the external module XJ485-CX, to a network line ModBUS-RTU compatible such as the dIXEL monitoring units of X WEB family. It allows to program the controller by means the HOT KEY programming keyboard. The instrument is fully configurable through special parameters that can be easily programmed through the keyboard.

CONTROLLING LOADS

COMPRESSOR

The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe with a positive differential from the set point: if the temperature increases and reaches set point plus differential the compressor is started and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.

In case of fault in the thermostat probe the start and stop of the compressor are timed through parameters “COn” and “COF”.Defrost Defrost is performed through a simple stop of the compressor. Parameter “IdF” controls the interval between defrost cycles, while its length is controlled by parameter **“MdF”.

DOOR SWITCH INPUT (i1F = dor)

It signals the door status and the corresponding relay output status through the “odc” parameter: no, Fan = normal (any change); CPr, F_C = Compressor OFF. Since the door is opened, after the delay time set through parameter “did”, the door alarm is enabled, the display shows the message “dA” and the regulation restarts is rtr = yES. The alarm stops as soon as the external digital input is disabled again. With the door open, the high and low temperature alarms are disabled.

GENERIC ALARM (i1F =EAL)

As soon as the digital input is activated the unit will wait for “did” time delay before signaling the “EAL” alarm message. The outputs status don´t change. The alarm stops just after the digital input is de-activated.

SERIOUS ALARM MODE (i1F =bAL)

When the digital input is activated, the unit will wait for “did” time delay before signaling the “CA” alarm message. The relay outputs are switched OFF. The alarm will stop as soon as the digital input is de-activated.

PRESSURE SWITCH (i1F =PAL

If during the interval time set by “did” parameter, the pressure switch has reached the number of activation of the “nPS” parameter, the “CA” pressure alarm message will be displayed. The compressor and the regulation are stopped. When the digital input is ON the compressor is always OFF.
If the nPS activation in the did time is reached, switch off and on the instrument to restart normal regulation.

START DEFROST (i1F =dFr)

It starts a defrost if there are the right conditions. After the defrost is finished, the
normal regulation will restart only if the digital input is disabled otherwise the
instrument will wait until the “MdF” safety time is expire
