TEMPERATURE RECORDER (Option)
Setting of back-up temperature
1. There is a red guide on the top of the temperature displayer. Adjust the guide with your finger to
back-up temperature, at which temperature the auxiliary cooling system starts to operate.
2. Set at a temperature 15oC higher than that of the freezer compartment.
Penholder
Install a recording pen in the recording hand as
shown in the figure. Make sure that the pen is
completely inserted for accurate recording. The
pen is packed together with the chart.
1. Let down the lever of the penholder, then pull out
the cartridge from the mounted position.
2. Insert a new pen.
3. Mount the cartridge into place.
4. Lift up the penholder lever and make sure that the
pen point touches the chart.
Note:
㩵 Turn off the back-up switch when the freezer operation is stopped or the back-up system is not used.
The battery for back-up system is discharged when the back-up switch is kept on.
㩵 The additional felt pen or recording paper is available from Sanyo sales agency.
㩵 To stop the temperature recorder, remove the cell from the recorder. The back-up system can operate
without recorder cell. Always remove a felt pen as well because the recording paper can be torn
resulting from ink spot. The torn paper may interfere pen tip movement, which results in no activation of
back-up system.
㩵 The cell for recorder normally keeps about 1 year. However, the cell life is shorten depending on the
ambient temperature condition. The enclosed cell may have shorter life since it is for monitor.
㩵 The liquid leakage or rust can be caused when a used cell or a cell over effective limit is left as it is,
which gives adverse effect on the recorder.
㩵 Operate the freezer until the chamber temperature gets to the set temperature. Check the recorded
temperature and chamber temperature displayed on the control panel. Adjust the zero adjustment
volume on the temperature recorder so that the recorded temperature can corresponds with the displayed
temperature if they are not compliance each other.

BACK-UP SYSTEM (Option)
WARNING
As with any equipment that uses CO2 gas, there is a likelihood of oxygen depletion in the vicinity
of the equipment. It is important that you assess the work site to endure there is suitable and
sufficient ventilation. If restricted ventilation is suspected, then other methods of ensuring a safe
environment must be considered. These may include atmosphere monitoring and warning
devices.
The freezer is provided with an automatic liquid CO2 gas injection device as a back-up system. This
freezer prevents the chamber temperature from going up by injecting the liquid CO2 gas when the power
supply is disconnected (power failure, disconnection of power cord, breaker OFF) or in the case of failure
of freezer itself. The liquid CO2 gas is injected with the activation of solenoid valve energized by battery
when the chamber temperature reaches the alarm temperature.
Following shows the procedure for setting the back-up system.
1. Setting of liquid CO2 gas cylinder
Liquid CO2
gas cylinder
ꢀ
By using the joint and pipe enclosed with the
freezer, connect the liquid CO2 gas cylinder to the
joint of the back-up system. For this setting,
consult with a qualified gas supplier or Sanyo sales
agency.
Rough scheme
Battery
2. After setting the liquid CO2 gas cylinder, operate
the freezer until the chamber temperature reaches
the required level.
Pipe
Solenoid valve
3. Set the warning indicator of the temperature
setting knob of the back-up system at the
temperature higher than -70oC. The back-up
system is operated continuously if the warning
indicator is set at the temperature lower than -70oC.
This means the liquid CO2 gas is consumed very
quickly.
4. Switch on the back-up system.
5. Make sure that liquid CO2 gas spouts into the freezer chamber by pressing the back-up test switch.
Note:
• The liquid CO2 gas cylinder loses its cooling capacity at speed when the ambient temperature is over
31oC. Install the liquid CO2 gas cylinder in the cool environment. And the duration of back-up time per
one liquid CO2 gas cylinder varies depending on the ambient temperature. Refer to “Installation of
back-up system” enclosed with the freezer for the available back-up time.
• The liquid CO2 gas cylinder should be a siphon type.
• Use the pipe encloses with the freezer for the setting. (The extension of the pipe is not permitted
because of cooling capacity.)
