General Recommendations

6 Installation and Operation Thermo Fisher Scientific Ultra Low Temperature

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 within 15°C to 32°C (59°F to 90°F),

only when the freezer is used for storage. For TSX 700 models, the

maximum operating environment is 28°C (83°F).

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.

Installation

12 Installation and Operation Thermo Fisher Scientific Ultra Low Temperature

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.

7.8 Installing the

Remote Alarm

Connector

The remote alarm contacts are located on the back of the freezer above and

to the left of the power switch. After installing the wiring from the remote

alarm to the connector, install the connector to the freezer micro-board.

The pin configuration is shown in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2. Remote Alarm Pin Configuration

The contacts will trip in the event of a power outage, high temperature

alarm, low temperature alarm or door ajar alarm.
