2.4 AC Power Cord

Use manufacturer supplied power cord only.

Install power cord

If packaged with modular cord, insert plug securely into the refrigerator power receptacle prior to connecting to

grounded outlet.

2.5 Temperature Probes

A solid ballast or probe bottle and container of glycerin have been provided with this unit. The glycerin is used to create a solution

which, when placed in the probe bottle, simulates the product stored in the refrigerator. The product simulation solution temperature

reectstheproduct’stemperatureduringnormaloperation.

Notes

• Temperature probes are fragile; handle with care.

• Number and location of probes varies by model.

• Remote probes may also be introduced through the existing port on top or rear of the unit (if included).

• Solid ballast (if installed) should be placed in the bracket in a horizontal position.

•Failuretollprobebottlesorkeepprobebottles(ifinstalled)lledtotheappropriatelevelmaycausethechamber

temperature to display higher or lower than the actual temperature.

Primary Monitor Probe

The primary monitor probe is located at the top left side of the refrigerator.

Primary monitor probe

Secondary Monitor Probe (i.Series models 20 cu ft and larger only)

The secondary monitor probe is located in the lower left side of the refrigerator.

3. Insert probe into bottle.

4. Replace putty, ensuring a tight seal.

2.6 Chart Recorder (if included)

The chart recorder has a back-up battery system enabling a period of continuous operation if power is lost. Battery life varies by

manufacturer as well as voltage level remaining. If full battery power is available, back-up power for the temperature chart recorder

is available for up to 14 hours.

Note

If chart recorder is operated on battery power, the battery should be replaced to ensure the back-up source has

proper charge.

Prior to use:

Place chart recorder probe in bottle or ballast with primary monitor probe.

Set up and Operation

3. Place chart paper on chart recorder.

4. Gently lift stylus and rotate paper so current time line corresponds to time line groove.

5. Hold chart paper in place while making sure the chart knob is fully tightened. (Failure to fully tighten the knob can result in paper

slipping and losing time.)

6. Press and hold C button. When stylus begins to move right, release button.

7. Conrmstylusismarkingonpaperandstopsatthecorrecttemperature.

8. Calibrate chart recorder to match primary temperature if needed and close recorder door.

Power Supply

The temperature chart recorder uses AC power when the system is operating. If AC power fails, the recorder continues to record

temperature with back-up power provided by the nine-volt battery.

♦The LED indicator glows green continually when main power is functioning and the battery is charged.

♦The LED indicator glows red continually when main power is functioning and the battery is either not installed or needs to

be changed.

♦ TheLEDindicatorashesredtoindicatethattherecorderisreceivingpoweronlyfromtheback-upbattery.
