GM-ULT-1786 Ultra Low Temperature Freezer
Note to Customer:
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving
our plant. Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier
upon acceptance of the shipment. As directed on the side of your packing
carton, claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be made on the
carrier as follows:
A.) Visible Loss, Damage, Shortage External Evidence of Loss or Damage: This
type of damage must be noted on the freight bill and acknowledged by the
carrier’s agent (driver) at time of delivery. Make sure you get a signed copy.
Send a written request for an inspection to the carrier. This type of damage
must be noted in detail on your delivery receipt. Make sure the driver signs
and dates the delivery receipt, acknowledging the damages. We also recommend
taking many pictures to demonstrate and document the damaged area(s). Keep a
copy for your records and send another to the carrier’s damage claims
department along with a formal request for an inspection report. Follow up
with a phone call. Their contact information can be found on the carrier’s web
site.
B.) Concealed Damage: This type of damage may not be discovered until the unit
is being unpacked. When concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking and
retain all packing materials. Take pictures to demonstrate and document the
concealed damage area(s). Time is of the essence. Each day that passes reduces
the likelihood that the carrier will pay the claim. Note the date and time and
person you spoke with. Get a claim number. Follow up with a written letter
referencing the claim number and including a formal request for an inspection.
Again, consult the carrier’s website for specific claim instructions and
follow them precisely.
AS STATED ABOVE, THE CARRIER IS YOUR SOLE SOURCE FOR SATISFACTION OF A DAMAGE
CLAIM. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MERCHANDISE BE RETURNED TO THE
MANUFACTURER. NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.
BEFORE CALLING THE MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, please have
the unit’s model and serial number ready as well as the problem description.
The model and serial number is located on the serial tag which can be found on
the interior left OR right upper wall of the unit.

Power: The ULT requires a dedicated power outlet and circuit breaker: 20-amp circuit for 115V models and 15amp circuit for 230V models.
Installation & Start-Up
NOTICE!
READ THIS MANUAL
It is necessary to read and understand this instruction manual because failure
to do so may result in (1) substandard performance of your freezer, (2) damage
to your freezer and stored items and (3) possible injury to operating
personnel.
Placement clearance: The freezer must have a clearance of 5” in the rear and
6” on each side so that enough air circulation is maintained for the removal
of exchange heat.
Start-up: Plug the ULT into power and engage the power switch/breaker located
above the power cord. The freezer will start, and the control panel will
illuminate in the default status with the words SYSTEM NORMAL in the message
line, which is the top line of the control display.
The other lines will display available operating modes. You will note a
pointer (˃) on the third line.
The third line is always the active line, which means that you will enter that
mode or menu by pressing ENTER.
The default status:
Temperature Set Point (SP) | -80ᵒC |
---|---|
High temp alarm | SP+10ᵒC |
Low temp alarm | SP-10ᵒC |
Password security | OFF |
Access code | 1234 |
Control overview
The SYSTEM NORMAL display is a monitoring and access screen from which you may enter any of the 4 control modes:
CONFIGURE CALIBRATE RUN SETTINGS
The default setting will be sufficient for many hours while your freezer
cools. You may familiarize yourself with the control by setting the time, the
date, and perhaps setting an access code (numerical password).
Keys: The ENTER key serves to (1) accept menu selections and value changes and
(2) advance the active value through a row of values. The BACK key permits you
to scroll back through the values or menu.
The UP and DOWN keys permit you to make numeric steps in settings and
selections in the menu Warning lights are provided for Voltage boost (which
means you should speak to your maintenance department about low line voltage).
The Low battery warning light indicates that you need to replace the battery,
the procedure for which is explained in the chapter on Maintenance.
Alarms: Your freezer is protected with 21 alarm monitors. In the event of
an alarm, an ALARM MESSAGE will appear in the message line at the top of the
screen and an alarm will sound.
Consult the chapter on Alarms in this manual

Setting security access code (optional)
When delivered, the freezer has the password security value in the OFF
setting. This means that access to modes and settings other than RUN can be
addressed.
If you want to restrict access to all menus other than the RUN menu, which is
a read-only menu, then you may activate the password security (PASSWRD
SECURITY) by switching it to the ON setting. This setting resides in the
CONFIGURE menu.
Once you activate password security, you will automatically acquire the
factory default password, which is a four-digit numerical code.
Default access code: 1 2 3 4
You may change the code itself by addressing the SETTINGS menu.
Please note the two menus on the right and remember that the choice of whether
a code is needed is made in the CONFIGURE menu; but the code itself is edited
in the SETTINGS menu.
Setting security access ON of OFF
-
Navigate to the CONFIGURE mode on the SYSTEM level menu, and then press ENTER.
• This will take you to the CONFIGURE menu.
• Scroll down to PASSWRD SECURITY OFF (the current status.) -

Note that the RUN mode provides a “view only” menu in which you can verify settings. This is the normal mode of operation for the freezer. To make changes in the settings themselves, you must move to one of the other operation modes, CALIBRATE, CONFIGURE, or SETTINGS.
Operating modes and mode menus
Alarms
A series of alarms monitor the various operating conditions of the freezer.
These alarms are presented differently depending on the severity of the alarm
condition.
The table below lists these alarms and shows the method of notification. The
“Message” column shows what message will be displayed in the message center.
The “Audible” column shows if the audible device is activatedThe “Ringback”
column indicates if the audible alarm is repeated after a specific time frame.
The ring back delais user selectable in the Configuration mode. The “Relay”
column shows whether each alarm is priority enough to warrant activating the
remote alarm contacts.
Note that the remote alarm contacts will always have a 30-minute delay to
activate to allow time for on-site personnel to react to and resolve the alarm
condition.
Upon the occurrence of any alarm, the top line of the message center display
will list the alarm message as shown in the list. In the case of multiple
alarm conditions, the display will show each alarm message on the top line in
a repeating sequence on three second intervals. The alarms will appear on the
message center ONLY when in RUN mode. If the operator changes to a different
mode, the alarm LED and the audible alarm will remain active, but the message
center top line will display whatever the normal message would be in that
mode.

Alarm Criteria
HIGH TEMP ALARM – Activates when the control probe temperature is at or above
the high temp alarm level as stored in memory for more than 1 minute. (Not
Cold Enough)
LOW TEMP ALARM – Activates when the control probe temperature is at or below
the low temp alarm level as stored in memory for more than 1 minute. (Too
Cold)
DOOR OPEN – Activates when the door is sensed open for more than 1 minute.
Note that the door sensor is an input to the main control board and its status
is to be part of the regular communication from the main control board to the
display board.
POWER FAILURE 1 – Activates when the input line voltage falls below 80 VAC for
115 V unit or 160 VAC for 230 V unit for more than 10 seconds. This alarm will
override and cancel the “LOW LINE VOLTAGE” alarm, so that both alarms are not
active at the same time.
POWER FAILURE 2 – Activates when the 12 VDC on the main control board falls
below 11.0 VDC for more than 2 seconds and the AC line voltage does not fail.
POWER FAILURE 3 – Identical to POWER FAILURE 2, except the 12 VDC on the main
control board recovers to more than 11.0 VDC. The control logic will return to
operating the main control board on the 12 VDC power supply rather than on
battery backup power. Operating the main control board on battery backup power
will eventually drain the battery output to 10.5 V and the compressors will
shut off.
WRONG POWER – Activates when the unit senses that input line voltage is above
150 VAC for a 115 V unit or below 160 VAC for a 230 V unit. There is a jumper
located on the main control board that will indicate whether the unit is wired
for 115V or 230V operation.
HIGH AMBIENT TEMP – Activates when the ambient temp probe reading is above 36
C. LOW BATTERY – Activates when the result of a battery test returns a reading
of less than 11.0 VDC.
H S SYSTEM FAILURE – Activates when the high stage heat exchanger probe is
unable to reach at least -33 C after running the high stage compressor for 30
minutes.
L S SYSTEM FAILURE – Activates when the high stage heat exchanger probe
reaches a reading of -55 C or below.
AIR FLOW PROBLEM – Activates when a calculation shows that the difference
between the ambient temperature and the condenser temperature probes is
greater than 10 C.
LOW LINE VOLTAGE – Activates when the incoming AC power voltage is below 90
VAC on a 115 V unit or 180 VAC on a 230 V unit for more than 1 minute.
HIGH LINE VOLTAGE – Activates when the incoming AC power voltage is above 135
VAC on a 115 V unit or 265 VAC on a 230 V unit for more than 1 minute.
PROBE FAILURE (Control, Heat Exchanger, Condenser, Ambient, Sample) –
Activates when either of thefollowing conditions is detected on this probe: A
resistance value over 250 ohms, indicating an open sensor, or a reading below
20 ohms, indicating a shorted sensor. The same criteria will apply to the
remaining probe failure alarms.
PROBE UNPLUGGED (Control, Heat Exchanger, Condenser, Ambient and Sample) –
Each probe has a two-pin logic control as part of its connector, which will be
used to detect that the sensor is properly connected.
This alarm shows that the system detected this probe is not connected. This
same description applies to all probes.
FAILED BATTERY TEST – Activates when the result of a battery test returns a
reading of bad battery.
Door Open
A door open message is displayed in the message center whenever the door is
opened. If the door remains open for more than 1 minute, an audible alarm will
sound, subject to normal silence and ring back functions.
If the door remains open continuously for 30 minutes, the remote alarm
contacts will activate.
Sensor Errors
In addition to any alarms, the control will take the following action if it detects any of the unit’s sensors as being in error
Alarm | Result |
---|---|
Control Probe failure | Both compressors will turn on and remain on. |
Heat exchanger probe failure | Compressor control during pull down will revert |
to timed staging
Condenser probe failure| Alarm only, no change in compressor control
Ambient probe failure| Alarm only, no change in compressor control
Sample probe failure| Alarm only, no change in compressor control
Line/boost voltage sensing| Unit will operate normally, with boost voltage
circuit Off
Contacts and communications
ONLY Authorized, trained electricians should attempt any connection behind the
service panels!
Remote alarm contacts
The Remote Alarm provides a NO (normally open) output, a NC (normally closed)
output, and a Common. The Schematic below represents the alarm state and wire
colors. The remote alarm terminal block is located in the base area of the
unit, to the left of the electronic enclosure.
Note:
- The Remote Alarm contacts will have a 30-minute delay before they are tripped.
- Always double check the continuity of the NO and NC contacts.
- This procedure is for the Alarm only.
A 4-20mA signal is available. Connect the circuit to positions 1 and 2 as
shown above. Monitor the DC voltage across a 250 Ω resistor. Remove the access
cover on the rear of the ULT to gain access to a Type T thermocouple that can
be used to monitor the chamber temperature. Connect the thermocouple to a
temperature reading device to view the chamber temperature. The dc voltage
drop across the resistor corresponds to the chamber temperature (deg C) and
should match the temperature on the display.
Using a 250 Ω resistor, the voltage drop across the resistor varies with
temperature per the following equation.
Temp (C) = – 34.75 (Vdrop) + 74.75
See the table below for representative readings:
Voltage (VDC) | Chamber temperature (°C) |
---|---|
1.58 | 20 |
2.15 | 0 |
3.59 | -50 |
4.46 | -80 |
Maintenance intervals
Maintenance item | Recommended interval |
---|---|
Air cleaner and Condenser | 3 months |
Calibration | 1 year |
Battery | 1 year |
Door gasket and vacuum relief port | Monthly minimum |
Defrost | As needed |
Maintenance procedures
Air filter
In most laboratory conditions, the air filter should be inspected monthly and
cleaned once every three months.
Press the top of the filter cover to release the catch. The door will swing
forward allowing easy access to the washable pre-filter.
Condenser
Anytime that the air filter is removed for cleaning, the condenser fins and
coils should be inspected for dust that impedes the flow of air over the
coils. Such dust should be removed with a vacuum cleaner. The fins on the heat
exchanger are very delicate and are easily bent, so be sure to avoid placing
any pressure or impact on the fins while cleaning.
Annual calibration
The control temperature probe should be calibrated once a year. This procedure
is described in the Maintenance Procedures chapter under Calibration.
Battery replacement
Warning! Only authorized, trained electricians should attempt any access
behind the service panels!
he battery is located in the lower left-hand (handle side) corner of the
compressor compartment. It may be accessed by either removing the front or
left-side cover panel. The battery is secured with two carriage bolts, but it
is only necessary to loosen one bolt to remove the battery.
Be sure to disconnect the leads from the control box before removing the
battery.
Door gasket and vacuum relief port
Any time that dirt or frost accumulation prevents the door from closing
properly, the gasket should be cleaned with a soft cloth. As a rule, a minimum
of once a month is recommended.
When the door gasket is operating as designed, the only means of pressure
equalization for the chamber is the vacuum relief port behind the control
panel. The vacuum relief port is equipped with a built-in heater to reduce
frost accumulation, but some frost can accumulate behind the port on the
freezer door. It is important to make a visual check for such accumulation
whenever the door is opened and remove any accumulation found.
Defrost
- Switch off the unit breaker switch and disconnect the freezer from power.
- DISCONNECT battery to avoid deep discharge. To disable the battery, scroll to the CONFIGURE MODE and press ENTER. Scroll to BATTERY BACK-UP ON, and press ENTER
- Use the UP and DOWN keys to change to OFF, then press ENTER. Upon restart, this configuration will automatically revert to the ON setting
- Empty the freezer of contents and transfer them to another freezer. Leave the inner doors open.
- Place moisture absorbing material such as paper or cotton towels in the bottom of the freezer and on the floor in front of the freezer.
- Allow frost to melt and loosen. The loose frost can be removed carefully to move the decrease the process time.
- Once the freezer is free of frost, use a mild non-chloride cleaning agent, rinsing with water.
- Close doors and restore power.
- Depending upon your temperature set point, storage temperature should be fully restored in 8 to12 hours.
Calibration
This procedure allows the temperature readout on the control panel to be
adjusted to match your temperature standard. The calibration allows for a
+/-5°C adjustment to “offset” only. There is no adjustment for “slope” or
“span” available through the control panel.
- Install reference temperature probe next to the control probe located on the interior of the freezer. The reference probe should be calibrated and traceable to a known standard such as NIST. The reference probe must be installed through the access panel on the rear of the unit. This is best accomplished when the freezer is at room temperature.
- Turn the freezer on and allow the unit to pull down and cycle at the desired set point, or use the default set point of -80 C.
- Navigate to the calibration mode through the control panel and access the calibration menu. Scroll through the menu until “Control Probe” is reached. Press Enter to access the menu for control probe calibration.
- Using the Up/Down Arrows, adjust the temperature displayed next to “Control Probe” to match the temperature readout from the reference temperature probe. The temperature is displayed in tenths of a degree.
Then Press Enter to accept the calibration for the control probe. Note1: The large temperature display may change value when you press Enter, depending on how much calibration is required.
Note2 : The maximum calibration on the temperature probes is +/- 5 C. If further calibration is required, contact the technical service department for assistance.
Options
Sample probe
There is access to a probe port at the rear of the freezer. It is uncovered
when the access plate, held in place with 6 Phillips head screws, is removed.
Chart recorder
The 7-day chart recorder is added at the factory. See manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
Chart recorder fuse
The chart recorder fuse, 0.5 Amps, is located below the chart recorder power
connection.
