OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Storing of items

Do not disturb the air circulation in the chamber by the stored items. The disturbed air circulation can cause the freezing of stored items or degrade of temperature distribution in the chamber.

Air-intake vent

Do not block the air-intake by the stored items near the air-intake vent. Take should be taken not to put any paper or plastic chips near the vent. They may be vacuumed up and block the vent.

Air-exhaust vent

Do not block the air-exhaust by the stored item near the air-exhaust vent. The stored item may be frozen if they put nearby the air-exhaust vent.

Load line

The stock area is limited to ensure the air flow in the chamber. The labels “load line” are attached to the right and left side of the chamber. Always put the items within the specified area.

Note:

Do not stock any corrosive materials when the container is not sealed completely. Such material causes corrosion of inner components or evaporator.

Temperature display

The unit is set at the factory to obtain the proper temperature automatically (4o C±1o C). There is no need to set the temperature.

Table 1. Temperature display ●: Lamp ON ○: Lamp OFF

| Operation| Key operated| Display| Display mode
---|---|---|---|---
1| Plug-in the power supply cord and turn on the power switch.| ——-| Average monitor bottle temperature| ●  UPPER
●  LOWER| Average temperature
2| Press the temperature display key.| | Upper monitor bottle temperature| ●  UPPER
○  LOWER| Upper temperature
3| Press the temperature display key.| | Lower monitor bottle temperature| ○  UPPER
●  LOWER| Lower temperature
4| Press the temperature display key.| | Average monitor bottle temperature| ●  UPPER
●  LOWER| **** Average temperature
5| Repeat from step 2.| | |

Note:

The displayed temperature represents the temperature sensed by a thermal sensor attached to the monitor bottle mounted to the upper and lower portion of the chamber. The displayed temperature may not always be at 4o C. Because the chamber probes are representative of high and low average temperatures within the chamber.

Defrost cycles

There is no need for routine defrosting of the unit as this occurs automatically as follows:

1. Cycle defrost
   To keep the chamber temperature stable, the refrigeration compressor is cycled on and off. During “off” period any frost which has accumulated on the evaporator is melted by energizing a defrost heater. This will not have any discernible effect on the chamber temperature.

2. Forced defrost
   When the ambient humidity is high, or a large amount of damp product is being stored inside the chamber, there is a possibility that cycle defrost may not be enough to remove all of the frost on the evaporator. In this case, a forced defrost cycle can be initiated. When the unit is operating under a forced defrost cycle, the current chamber temperature and “dF” is displayed alternately on the digital temperature display. Once the forced defrost cycle is completed, normal operation resumes. The temperature of blood bag (400mL) in the chamber rises by approximately 1 to 2o C during the defrosting.

Calibration of temperature sensor

The temperature sensors are attached to the monitor bottles. Follow the instructions below for proper calibration of temperature sensor.

1. Remove the monitor bottle cover as shown in the figure.

2. Remove the sensor to be calibrated from the monitor bottle. Please note that MBR-304G and MBR-304GR also has a sensor for the temperature recorder in the left side of the lower monitor bottle.

3. Prepare a bottle or beaker with a solution of crushed ice and cold water. Agitate the mixture thoroughly.

4. Put the sensor to be calibrated in the mixture.

5. Select the temperature display by pressing temperature display key to show the proper temperature. While continuously agitating the ice water mixture, monitor the temperature indicated on the display of the sensor to be calibrated.

6. Wait for the temperature on the display to stabilize. If the display is not 0o C, calibrate using the following procedure. If the display does indicate 0o C, proceed to step 7.
   Press the CAL key for approximately 5 seconds until C00 is displayed.
   Enter the code of the probe to be calibrated using the numerical value shift key ( ). Upper chamber temperature sensor code is C01. Lower chamber temperature sensor code is C02. 6-3. Press the CAL key. (This makes temperature display 0o C) This key operation is canceled with the buzzer if the sensor temperature deviates over +/- 1.5o C. In this case, consult with Sanyo dealer or service personnel.
   The digital display will revert back to current chamber temperature. The calibration that was entered in the previous step should now have an effect on the temperature display. The digital display should now show indicate 0.0±0.2o C, if not, repeat step 6.

7. Take the sensor out of the ice water solution and wipe with a soft cloth.

8. Attach the sensor back into the monitor bottle by reversing the procedure in step 1 and 2.

• For the span adjustment, contact your service personnel.
