Precautions are illustrated in the following way: WARNING Failure to observe WARNING signs could result in a hazard to personnel possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION WARNING Do not use the unit outdoors. Current leakage or electric shock may result if the unit is exposed to rain water. Only qualified engineers or service personnel should install the unit. unqualified personnel may cause electric shock or fire. The installation by Install the unit on a sturdy floor. If the floor is not strong enough or the installation site is not adequate, this may result in injury from the unit falling or tipping over.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION WARNING Ensure you do not inhale or consume medication or aerosols from around the unit at the time of maintenance. These may be harmful to your health. As with any equipment that uses CO2 gas, there is a likelihood of oxygen depletion in the vicinity of the equipment. It is important that you assess the work site to ensure there is suitable and sufficient ventilation.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION CAUTION Select a level and sturdy floor for installation. This precaution will prevent the unit from tipping. Improper installation may result in water spillage or injury from the unit tipping over. Connect the unit to a power source as indicated on the rating label attached to the unit. Use of any other voltage or frequency other than that on the rating label may cause fire or electric shock.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION CAUTION Do not touch the condenser directly when the filter is removed for cleaning. by hot surface. This may cause injury Always disconnect the power supply plug before moving the unit. Take care not to damage the power cord. A damaged cord may cause electric shock or fire. Be careful not to tip over the unit during movement to prevent damage or injury. Always disconnect the power plug when the unit is not used for long periods.
CAUTIONS FOR USAGE ￭ Always use a dedicated power source. The power source of this freezer is single phase and local voltage. The power source should be the dedicated circuit with a dedicated breaker. Do not connect this freezer to the branch circuit for other electric appliances. ￭ For AT type, turn OFF the back-up switch at the time of opening of the freezer door when a liquid CO2 gas cylinder is connected to the back-up system. ￭ Put on dry gloves when you take out refrigerated articles from the freezer.
CAUTIONS FOR USAGE ￭ This unit is provided with the filter check lamp. If the filter check lamp is flashed, clean the condenser filter. Refer to page 23 “Cleaning of condenser filter”. A clogged filter may cause poor cooling and compressor trouble. ￭ When connecting a liquid CO2 cylinder for the back-up system of AT type freezer, consult your dealer of a neighboring engineering shop of high pressure gas.

Clean the condenser filter according to page 23 “Cleaning of condenser filter”. INSTALLATION Installation site To operate this unit properly and to obtain maximum performance, install the unit in a location with the following conditions: ￭ A location not subjected to direct sunlight The direct sunlight to the freezer causes too high temperature and the chamber temperature may not reach -85oC. ￭ A location with adequate ventilation Leave at least 10 cm around the unit for ventilation.
INSTALLATION Installation 1. Remove the packaging materials and tapes Remove all transportation packaging materials and tapes. Open the doors and ventilate the unit. If the outside panels are dirty, clean them with a diluted neutral dishwashing detergent. (Undiluted detergent can damage the plastic components. For the dilution, refer to the instruction of the detergent.) After the cleaning with the diluted detergent, always wipe it off with a wet cloth. Then wipe off the panels with a dry cloth. 2.
START-UP OF UNIT Follow the procedures for the initial and consequent operations of the unit. 1. Make sure that all the switches on the control panel, such as the power switch, the remote alarm switch, the back-up system switch (AT type only) are off. 2. Liquid CO2 gas cylinder for AT type is set at this time. 3. Shut the door and connect the power cable to the power supply after the inner lid is installed. 4. Turn on the power supply switch and the temperature is displayed on the digital indicator. 5.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Temperature setting Table 1 shows the basic operation method. Perform key operations in the sequence indicated in the table. The example in the table is based on the assumption that the temperature is -70oC. Note: The unit is set at the factory that the chamber temperature is -85C. Table 1. Chamber temperature -70oC) Basic operation sequence (Example: Description of operation 1 Turn on the power switch. Press mode change key when 1 changing the set temperature during operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Alarm temperature setting This unit is provided with the high temperature alarm. The setting of high temperature alarm is 10oC or 15oC (The setting value is 2 kinds.) higher than the setting of chamber temperature. The procedure in table 2 shows the sequence to set the high temperature alarm at 15oC higher than the setting of chamber temperature. Set the figure to 000 at step 5 when setting the high temperature alarm at 10oC higher than the setting of chamber temperature.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Setting of alarm resume time The alarm buzzer is silenced by pressing BUZZER key on the control panel during alarm condition (Initial setting 100: The remote alarm is not silenced). The buzzer will be activated again after certain suspension if the alarm condition is continued. The suspension time can be set by following the procedure shown in the Table 3 below. The example in the table is based on the assumption that the desired duration is 30 minutes.
