3 Unpacking and Inspection
At delivery, examine the exterior for physical damage while the
carrier’s representative is present. If exterior damage is present,
carefully unpack and inspect the unit and all accessories for
damage.
If there is no exterior damage, unpack and inspect the equipment
within five days of delivery. If you find any damage, keep the
packing materials and immediately report the damage to the
carrier. Do not return goods without written authorization.
When submitting a claim for shipping damage, request that the
carrier inspect the shipping container and equipment.
4 Installation
4.1 Location
Install the unit in a level area free from vibration with a minimum
of 6 inches of space on the sides and rear and 12 inches at the top.
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
(15to32°C).
4.2 Wiring
CAUTION! Connect the equipment to a separate,
dedicated, power source with the correct voltage.
Power fluctuations or incorrect voltage can result in
severe damage to the equipment.
DANGER! 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 unit to already overloaded
power lines.
Always connect the equipment to a dedicated (separate) circuit.
Electrical codes require fuse or circuit breaker protection for
branch circuit conductors. Use time delay fuses for #12 AWG
circuits.
For all blood bank models, the wiring diagram is attached to the
back of the cabinet.
4.3 Leveling
The unit must be level. Rotate the leveling screws, located under
the front corners of the unit, until the unit is level. If the floor is
seriously out of level, you may need to shim the corners with thin
sheets of metal.
Note: Use thin sheets of metal to level units equipped with
optional casters.
4.4 Door Operation
Standard glass doors for models larger than the undercounter
model stay open if opened 90 degrees. Door spring tension
cannot be adjusted.
If the self-closing doors do not work properly, make sure the unit
is level.
4.4.1 Adjustable Hinged Glass Doors (Undercounter
Models Only)
On Undercounter models with hinged glass doors, you can use a
regular screwdriver to adjust spring tension and center each door
on its frame. The adjustment screws (“torque” for tension and
“sag” for door placement) are located on the bottom hinge
bracket (shown below in Figure 1).
Hinged glass doors can be propped open with metal braces at the
bottom hinges. Open the door 90 degrees or until you feel some
resistance. Push the door open past the resistance and the metal
braces engage. To close the door, push it toward the unit (past the
resistance).
Figure 1. Undercounter Hinge Bracket for Glass Door
Adjustments
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the tension as
damage to the equipment can result.
WARNING! Disconnect equipment from main power
before attempting any maintenance to equipment or its
controls.

4.5 Door Seal
To check the door seal, complete the following steps:
1. Open the door.
2. Insert a strip of paper (a couple of inches wide) between the
door gasket and the cabinet flange and close the door.
3. Slowly pull the paper strip from the outside. You should feel
some resistance.
4. Repeat this test at 4-inch intervals around the door. If the
door does not seal properly, you need to either replace the
gasket, or adjust the door (see the previous page).
Note:
Door seal integrity is critical for blood bank
refrigerators. A loose fitting gasket allows moist air
to be drawn into the cabinet, resulting in quicker
frost buildup on the evaporator coil, longer running
time, poor temperature maintenance, and increased
operation cost.
The door seals on 12 ft3 models can be adjusted. To correct a
faulty seal on these units, complete the following steps:
1. Open the door completely.
2. Remove the hinge pin cover to expose the door mounting
screws. This cover pops off.
3. Loosen the screws and move the door side of the hinge to
decrease the clearance between the gasket and the cabinet.
4. Tighten the screws and snap the hinge pin covers on.
5. Recheck the seal.
6. If the door does not seal properly, replace the gasket.
4.6 Final Checks
Before start up, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the unit is free of all wood or cardboard
shipping materials, both inside and outside.
2. Check the positions of the stainless steel drawers. If you
want to adjust the drawer slides in an Upright unit, follow the
instructions in Section 5.3.
3. Verify that the unit is connected to a dedicated circuit.

5.1 Removing the Drawers
To remove the drawers in Upright models (23 ft3 and larger)
complete the following steps (refer to Figure 2):
1. Pull the drawer toward you until the slides are fully extended.
2. Lift the back of the drawer to disengage the mounting tabs
from the slots on the slides.
Note: The drawers fit snugly between the slides. Push the back
of the drawer from underneath to remove the drawer.
3. Raise the back of the drawer almost to a vertical position and
disengage the front mounting clips from the slides.
To remove the drawers on Space Saver models, depress the
hooks located on both sides of the drawers (about 1/3 of the way
back) and slide the drawers up and out.
Figure 2. Drawer Removal (Upright Models)
5.2 Reinstalling the Drawers
To reinstall the drawers in Upright models, complete the
following steps (refer to Figure 2):
1. Pull both drawer slides toward you until the slides are fully
extended.
2. Position the drawer between the slides and insert the front
mounting clips into the slots on front of the slides.
3. Push the back of the drawer down between the slides and
insert the drawer tabs into the back slots.
Note: The drawers fit snugly between the slides. Push on the
back of the drawer from the inside to insert the drawer
tabs completely into the slots. Make sure both drawer
tabs are aligned with the slots on the slides before
pushing the drawer down between the slides.
5.3 Changing Drawer Slide Position
The drawer slides are adjustable. You can position these slides in
the vertical slots which are spaced at one-inch intervals.
Drawer slides have a small wire safety clip at the front pilaster
which prevents the slides from falling when the drawers are
removed. To change the position of the drawer slides, complete
the following steps:
1. Locate the safety clip.
2. Slip your fingernail or a small screwdriver under the bottom
of the wire clip and pry the clip out toward the inside of the
refrigerator.
3. Lift up the slide at the front. The slide is free to move from
the front pilaster.
4. The drawer slide must be removed from the rear pilaster at
approximately a 45 degree angle toward the center of the
cabinet.
5. Pull the slide toward the front of the cabinet.
Note:
Drawer slides do
not
require lubrication.
Additional lubricant could impede movement of the
drawers when the lubricant is cold.

6.1 Control Panel Features
The control panel is located on the top right side of your blood
bank refrigerator. You can use the three pushbuttons (#5, #8, and
#9 in Figure 3) to change the temperature display (#1) or to
adjust temperature and alarm setpoints. The thermometer display
(#2) provides a quick visual indicator of current cabinet
temperature and alarm conditions.
Before starting up your refrigerator, take some time to review the
control panel functions:
1. Main temperature display — during normal operation, shows
cabinet temperature in degrees Celsius, as measured by the
upper sensor inside the cabinet. You can use the buttons to
display other values such as setpoints, extreme values, and
lower sensor temperature. The number in the main display
flashes when the value can be modified.
2. Thermometer — shows cabinet temperature and alarm
conditions. There are 10 horizontal bars: 9 are displayed
during normal operation, the tenth (top) bar indicates a warm
alarm condition. The number of bars illuminated indicates
approximate cabinet temperature. Depending on alarm
settings, 4 or 5 bars illuminated indicate that the cabinet is at
setpoint.
For example, suppose that the cabinet temperature setpoint is
+4ºC and that the warm and cold alarm setpoints are 8ºC and
0ºC. Then the number of bars illuminated indicates cabinet
temperature as follows:
bulb only 0ºC (cold alarm) 6 bars 4.8ºC
1 bar 0.8ºC 7 bars 5.6ºC
2 bars 1.6ºC 8 bars 6.4ºC
3 bars 2.4ºC 9 bars 7.2ºC
4 bars 3.2ºC 10 bars 8ºC (warm alarm)
5 bars 4ºC (setpoint)
When cabinet temperature exceeds the warm alarm setpoint,
the top bar of the thermometer flashes. When temperature is
lower than the cold alarm setpoint, the bulb flashes.
When you are in programming mode (described in Table 2)
the thermometer shows the setpoint value you are changing.
3. Power failure — illuminated when the main power supply is
interrupted. In this case the audible alarm also sounds.
4. Service required —illuminated when the controller is in
service programming mode or when simulated warm or cold
alarm conditions are failing to occur during an alarm test.
5. Increase — pushbutton used to increase setpoint values in
programming mode and for various display functions.
6. Door ajar — illuminated when the refrigerator door is open
and the alarm is activated (key switch turned to the alarm
position). (This feature is not available for 45 ft3 sliding glass
door models.)
7. Battery low — illuminated when the backup battery is low.
8. Decrease — pushbutton used to decrease setpoint values in
programming mode and for various display functions.
9. Scan — pushbutton used to change the main display and for
various other functions.
10. Audible alarm — illuminates during warm and cold alarm
conditions.
For full descriptions of display, programming, and service
functions, refer to Tables 2, 3, and 4 on page 5.

Thermo Scientific Forma Blood Bank Refrigerators Installation and Operation
7 Operation
7. 1 S t a r t U p
To start up the refrigerator, complete the following steps:
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. All refrigerators (except undercounter and sliding door
models) have a double pole circuit breaker switch located
next to the power inlet. Make sure that is in the ON (“1”)
position.
3. Insert the key in the switch and turn the power on. The
display will show the actual cabinet temperature.
4. Rotate the power switch to the ALARM ON position when
the temperature drops below the warm alarm setpoint.
5. Allow the unit to reach operating temperature before loading
it with any product. To stabilize the temperature profile,
a 24-hour waiting period is recommended.
6. After the unit has pulled down to the desired operating
temperature, turn the three position key switch one turn
further clockwise to the Alarm On position.
7. If you have a remote alarm, hook it up at this point (refer to
Section 9.3 on page 7).
8. Whether you have a built-in alarm or a customer-installed
remote alarm, you should test it following the instructions in
Section 9.4 on page 7. Alarm setpoints are factory pre-set for
5.5°C (warm) and 1.5°C (cold).
7.2 Product Loading Guidelines
When loading your blood bank refrigerator, take care to observe
the following guidelines:
•Never load the blood bank beyond capacity. Table 1 on
page 1 shows the number of 450ml bags that can safely be
stored in your unit.
•Distribute the load as evenly as possible. Temperature
uniformity depends on air circulation, which could be
impeded if drawers are overfilled, particularly at the top of
the cabinet.
•For critical applications such as blood storage, be sure that
the alarm systems are working and active before you load
any product.
7.3 Automatic Defrost
The defrosting process on all models is primarily accomplished
by air circulated during off-cycle periods.
Under normal conditions, the temperature warm-up during
defrost is virtually unnoticeable. However, an occasional 2°C
warm-up is possible if usage is heavy and ambient conditions are
extreme.
8 Temperature Control
8.1 Setpoint Control
Your individual unit has been adjusted and factory tested to
maintain a +4°C cabinet temperature. For most blood bank
applications, you will not need to change the temperature
setpoint.
Cabinet temperature setpoint is a computed value based on the
service parameters Cut On and Differential. To adjust the
setpoint:
1. Be sure that the key switch is not turned to the third (alarm)
position. In order to protect the contents of the blood bank,
access to service parameters is disabled when the unit is in
alarm mode.
2. Access the service parameters as shown in Table 4 on page 5.
3. Adjust the values of Cut On and Differential as needed.
8.2 Sensor Bottles
Cabinet temperature is measured by probes inserted in sensor
bottles. The bottles contain equal portions of glycerine and water
to simulate blood samples. Keep the sensor bottles completely
full up to the top of the bottle.
Space Saver models have one factory-installed sensor bottle. In
Upright models (23 ft3 and larger) there are two sensor bottles,
positioned as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Sensor Bottles (Upright Models)
The default sensor reading for Upright units is the bottle at the
top of the cabinet. You can check the temperature in the lower
sensor bottle by pressing and holding and Scan
simultaneously (refer to Figure 3 on page 4). When you release
the buttons, the temperature display returns to the upper sensor
reading.

9 Alarm Systems
9.1 Operating the Alarm
The alarm system is designed to provide visual and audible
warning signals for both power failure and rise in temperature.
The alarm is equipped with a battery backup.
The factory default warm alarm setpoint is 5.5ºC; the default cold
alarm setpoint is 1.5ºC.
The alarm system is activated only when the key switch is turned
to the Alarm On position. The audible warning signal sounds
when there is a power failure or temperature alarm condition, or
when the door is ajar for more than 3 minutes.
The Mute function (pressing the Scan button) allows you to turn
off the audio warning without turning off the visual indicators.
To turn off and reset flashing visual alarms, press and
simultaneously.
There is also a ringback function after approximately 6 minutes if
any alarm condition remains active.
9.2 Local and Remote Alarms
Blood bank units can have either a factory-installed local alarm
or an optional user-installed remote alarm. Operating and testing
procedures are the same for both types of alarm.
The maximum distance between a blood bank and a remote
alarm depends on the wire gauge used. Refer to Table 5 below.
Table 5. Wire Gauges and Distance to Remote Alarm
9.3 Installing a Remote Alarm (Optional)
Remote alarm terminals are located at the rear of the machine
compartment. The terminals are: Common, Open on Fail
(Normally Closed), and Close on Fail (Normally Open).
1. The remote alarm system has two keyhole slots on the back
to hang the alarm system on the wall. Insert two screws, no
longer than a #12 truss-head type and spaced two inches
apart, into a wall and mount the alarm.
2. Make the following connections:
a. Connect the common terminal on the cabinet switch to
the purple wire on the alarm.
b. Connect the normally closed terminal on the cabinet to
the black (“open on fail”) wire on the alarm. This
connection gives an alarm when the switch contacts open.
3. Plug the alarm system service cord into an electrical outlet.
This alarm is designed for 115V/60 Hz, 115V/50 Hz, or
100V/50 Hz operation.
Note: If you want the alarm signal to sound when the switch
contacts close, connect the normally open terminal on
the cabinet to the red/white (“close on fail”) wire on the
alarm. The purple and red/white wires must be tied
together in this application.
The wiring diagram is attached to the inside of the alarm back
cover.
9.4 Alarm Test
Note: It is important to test your alarm system after any
maintenance operation or temperature control
adjustment.
9.4.1 Theory of Operation
This test procedure applies to both factory-installed built-in
alarms and optional field-installed remote alarms.
During the alarm test, the temperature sensor is artificially heated
and cooled by a tiny, built-in thermoelectric heating and cooling
unit which simulates both warm and cold conditions. The
electronic control module notes the sensor temperature changes
and the control panel displays these changes.
While this alarm testing procedure is very accurate and reliable,
the temperature of the refrigerated space does not change during
the alarm test.
9.4.2 Alarm Test Procedure
Note: This test automatically advances through all steps and
stops.
1. Verify that the key position is in the alarm mode, and that the
current warm and cold alarm setpoints are within normal
ranges (the warm and cold simulations may not work if the
setpoints are set to extreme values).
2. To start the alarm test, press and Scan simultaneously.
During the test the main display and thermometer bulb will
indicate simulated (not actual) cabinet temperature.
3. When simulated temperature exceeds the warm alarm
setpoint, the alarm sounds and the alarm icon on the control
panel illuminates (#10 in Figure 3 on page 4).
4. The temperature display begins to drop. After a few seconds,
the temperature in the display is back in the operating range.
5. The alarm stops. The temperature on the display drops until
the cold alarm sounds.
6. The test is now complete but the alarm continues to sound
until the temperature on the display is back in the operating
range.
If the simulated alarm conditions do not occur during the first 5
minutes of the alarm test, the service (wrench) icon illuminates
and the test is terminated. You can also terminate the test
immediately by turning the key switch to the second (non-alarm)
position. When during the alarm test, the temperature display
does not change or the service icon illuminates, check the sensor
connections.
After an alarm test has terminated, there is a 10-minute delay
before the test can be run again.

Figure 5. Six Inch Chart Recorder
Figure 6. Chart Buttons
10.2 Power Supply
The recorder normally uses AC power when the system is
operating. If AC power fails, the LED indicator flashes to alert
you to a power failure. The recorder continues sensing cabinet
temperature and the chart continues turning for approximately
24 hours with back-up power provided by the nine-volt battery.
The LED indicator glows continuously when main power is
functioning and the battery is charged.
When the battery is low, the LED flashes to indicate that the
battery needs to be changed.
10.3 Changing Chart Paper
To change the chart paper, complete the following steps:
1. Locate the pressure sensitive buttons at the front, upper left
of the recorder panel.
2. Press and hold the change chart button for one second. The
pen will move off the scale.
3. Unscrew the center nut, remove the old chart paper, and
install new chart paper. Carefully align the day and time with
the reference mark on the recorder panel (a small groove on
the left side of the panel, shown in Figure 5).
4. Replace the center nut and hand tighten. Press the change
chart button again to resume temperature recording.
10.4 Calibration Adjustment
This recorder has been accurately calibrated at the factory and
retains calibration even during power interruptions. If required,
however, adjustments can be made as follows:
1. Run the unit continuously at the control setpoint temperature.
Continue steady operation for at least two hours to provide
adequate time for recorder response.
2. Measure cabinet center solution temperature with a
calibrated temperature monitor. (Solution temperature is
measured inside the sensor bottles — see Section 8.2.)
3. Compare the recorder temperature to the solution
temperature. If necessary, adjust recorder by pressing the left
(#1) and right (#2) chart buttons.
Note: The stylus does not begin to move until the button is held
for five seconds.
