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.
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.

7 Installation
WARNING: Do not exceed the electrical rating printed on the data plate
located on the lower left side of the unit.
7.1 Location Install the unit in a level area free from vibration with a minimum of 8 inch
(20 cm) of space on the top and sides, 6 inch (15 cm) in back. Refer to
Section 7.3 for further instructions on leveling cabinets. Allow enough
clearance so that door can swing open at least 85°.
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 15°C to 32°C (59°F to 90°F).
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% of the freezer rated voltage.
CAUTION: Never remove or disable the grounding prong from the service
cord plug. If the prong is removed, the warranty is invalidated.
Installation
10 Installation and Operation Thermo Fisher Scientific Ultra Low Temperature
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 one or two leveling legs
on the right hand side. These may be used to help prevent the unit from
shifting during a door opening.
Be certain to lock the brakes for units equipped with casters.
7.4 Backup System
(Optional) If you are using a CO2 or LN2 backup system, refer to Section 11 for
installation and operation instructions.
7.5 Super Insulated
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.
7.6 Door Operation Upright freezer models are equipped with an advanced assembly specifically
designed for ultra-low temperature freezers.
Features include:
One-hand operation
A front-accessible lock
Hasps for a standard padlock to provide additional security. Length of
the shackle must be between 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) and 11/2 inch (3.8 cm).
Durable construction for reliable operation and safe product storage.
Door ramp alignment feature
Optional controlled access to the freezer with Proximity Access cards.
CAUTION: When moving the freezer, always grasp cabinet surfaces; never
pull the freezer by the latch handle.
7.6.1 Opening the Door For freezers with the Proximity Access Card option:
1. Remove the padlock if installed.
Installation
Thermo Fisher Scientific Ultra Low Temperature Installation and Operation 11
2. To unlock the door, pass the card in front of the freezer below the LCD
display.
3. Grasp the latch handle and pull it toward yourself until the latch
disengages from the cabinet strike.
4. 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 and a unit that has the Proximity Access Card
option, you may use a 9 volt battery to activate the system. To access the 9
volt terminal, remove the USB cover and locate the battery terminals.
Once the terminals are exposed, open the door by holding the 9 volt battery
against the terminals and pass a valid proximity card below the display area.
Once the door is open, remove the 9 volt battery.
Note The terminals are polarized therefore orient the 9 volt battery properly.
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.
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.
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.

7.9 Intended Use The –86°C freezer (refer to Section 1 for the specific model series) described
in this manual are high performance units for professional use. These
products are intended for use as cold storage in research use and as a general
purpose laboratory freezer, storing samples or inventory at operating
temperatures between –50°C and –80°C.
It is not considered a medical device and has therefore not been registered
with a medical device regulatory body (e.g. FDA): that is, it has not been
evaluated for the storage of samples for diagnostic use or for samples to be
re-introduced to the body.
This unit is not intended for use in classified hazardous locations, nor to be
used for the storage of flammable inventory.
