General Recommendations
6 Installation and Operation Manual Thermo Scientific Ultra Low Temperature Freezers
5 General
Recommendations
5.1 Temperature
Monitoring
IMPORTANT NOTE We recommend the use of a redundant and
independent temperature monitoring system so that the freezer can be
monitored continuously for performance commensurate with the value of
product stored.
5.2 General Usage
This refrigeration system is designed to maintain ultra-low temperatures with
safety in an ambient environment up to +32°C (90°F), only when the freezer is
used for storage.
WARNING: This unit is not a “rapid-freeze” device. Freezing large
quantities of liquid, or high-water content items, will temporarily increase
the chamber temperature and will cause the compressors to operate for a
prolonged time period.
Avoid opening the door for extended time periods since chamber temperature air
will escape rapidly. Also, keep the inner doors closed as much as possible. When
room air, which is higher in humidity, replaces chamber air, frost may develop in
the chamber more rapidly.
5.3 Initial Loading
Allow the freezer to operate at the desired temperature for a minimum of 12
hours before loading
.
Load the freezer one shelf at a time, beginning with the top shelf. After loading
each shelf, allow the freezer to recover to the desired set point before loading the
next shelf. Repeat this process until the freezer is fully loaded.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these procedures or overloading the unit may
cause undue stress on the compressors or jeopardize user product safety.

The rear spacing posts provided with the freezer can be used to ensure proper
clearance. To install the spacing posts, screw them into the back in the rear deck area.
Do not position the equipment in direct sunlight or near heating diffusers,
radiators, or other sources of heat. The ambient temperature range at the location
must be 59 to 90°F (15 to 32°C).
7.2 Wiring
CAUTION: Connect the equipment to the correct power source. Incorrect
voltage can result in severe damage to the equipment.
CAUTION: For personal safety and trouble-free operation, this unit must
be properly grounded before it is used. Failure to ground the equipment
may cause personal injury or damage to the equipment. Always conform to
the National Electrical Code and local codes. Do not connect the unit to
overloaded power lines.
CAUTION: Do not position the unit in a way that impedes access to the
disconnecting device or circuit breaker in the back of the unit.
CAUTION: Always connect the freezer to a dedicated (separate) circuit.
Each freezer is equipped with a service cord and plug designed to connect it
to a power outlet which delivers the correct voltage. Supply voltage must be
within +10% or -10% of the freezer rated voltage.
CAUTION: Never cut the grounding prong from the service cord plug. If
the prong is removed, the warranty is invalidated.
Installation
Thermo Scientific Ultra Low Temperature Freezers Installation and Operation Manual 9
7.3 Leveling
Make sure that the floor is level. The unit must be level both front to back and
side to side.
300 and 400 box capacity models are equipped with two leveling legs on the
right hand side. These must be lowered to ensure stability of the unit.
Be sure to set the brakes for units equipped with casters.
7.4 Backup System
(Optional)
If you are using a CO
2
or LN
2
backup system, refer to
Section 11
for installation
and operation instructions.
7.5 Superinsulated
Cabinet Construction
In all models, the cabinet walls have a vacuum insulation core encapsulated by a
sealed film laminate.
CAUTION: Never drill holes in or near the cabinet walls. Drilling could
damage the insulation and make the unit inoperable.

CAUTION: When moving the freezer, always grasp cabinet surfaces; never
pull the freezer by the latch handle.
Installation
10 Installation and Operation Manual Thermo Scientific Ultra Low Temperature Freezers
7.6.1 Opening the Door
For freezers with the Proximity Access Card option:
1. To unlock the door, pass the card in front of the freezer below the LCD
display.
2. Grasp the latch handle and pull it toward yourself until the latch
disengages from the cabinet strike.
3. Keep pulling by the latch handle to open the main door.
For freezers without the Access Card option:
1. Remove the padlock if installed.
2. Grasp the latch handle and pull it toward yourself until the latch
disengages from the cabinet strike.
3. Keep pulling by the latch handle to open the main door.
7.6.2 Opening the Door During
a Power Outage
In case of power outage, you may use a 9 volt battery to activate the proximity
card access system. To access the 9 volt terminal, a piece of plastic trim must be
removed near the user interface.
If the trim is gray, remove the left plastic trim by sliding it up and gently pulling
it out.
If the trim is blue, slide the U-shaped trim piece down and gently pull it out.
Once the terminal is exposed, you can open the door by holding the 9 volt
battery against the terminal and passing a valid proximity card below the display
area.
Once the door is open, remove the battery.
7.6.3 Closing the Door Note The latch does not self-engage automatically when you close the door. You
must rotate the latch into the open position first.
1. Grasp the latch handle (preferably with your left hand) and pull it
toward yourself, rotating the latch into the open position.
2. Move the freezer door into the closed position and gently push the
handle away from you, making sure that the latch engages fully with the
cabinet strike.
Installation
Thermo Scientific Ultra Low Temperature Freezers Installation and Operation Manual 11
3. Keep applying gentle pressure to the latch handle until the latch is
securely in closed position.
4. Insert the key and rotate counterclockwise to lock.
5. Replace the padlock as required.
7.7 Pressure
Equalization Port
When an upright ultra-low temperature freezer door is opened, room
temperature air rushes into the storage compartment. When the door is closed,
the fixed volume of air is cooled rapidly. Pressure drops below atmospheric
pressure, resulting in a substantial vacuum. Re-entry into the cabinet is
impossible until internal pressures are returned to atmospheric pressure. Without
a pressure equalization mechanism, it can take, in extreme cases, several hours
before the door can easily be reopened.
All upright models feature a port that provides vacuum relief after door openings.
The pressure equalization port is located in the door behind the eye-level panel
on the front of the freezer. Although the port is designed to self-defrost, excessive
frost accumulation on the inner door could eventually restrict air flow. Therefore
you should periodically inspect the inner door and brush away any loose frost
using a stiff nylon brush.
Installation
12 Installation and Operation Manual Thermo Scientific Ultra Low Temperature Freezers
7.8 Installing the
