II. RECEIPT INSPECTION  
III. INSTALLATION (continued)  
III. d - INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS:  
All Traulsen products are factory tested for perfor-  
mance and are free from defects when shipped. The  
utmost care has been taken in crating this product to  
protect against damage in transit. All interior fittings  
have been carefully secured and the legs or casters  
are boxed and strapped inside to prevent damage.  
Door keys will be attached to the handle with a nylon  
strip. The handle is protected by an easily removable  
nylon netting.  
6high stainless steel legs are supplied standard for  
models RBC50 and RBC100. Casters in lieu of legs  
are available as an optional accessory for the same  
models. These are shipped from the factory packed  
inside a cardboard box which is strapped to one of  
the shelves (two boxes for model RBC50 which re-  
quires either eight legs or casters). Remove the nylon  
strap and open the box(es), it should contain either  
four (4) legs or four (4) casters and sixteen (16) bolts.  
You should carefully inspect your Traulsen unit for  
damage during delivery. If damage is detected, you  
should save all the crating materials and make note  
on the carriers Bill Of Lading describing this. Afreight  
claim should be filed immediately. If damage is sub-  
sequently noted during or immediately after installa-  
tion, contact the respective carrier and file a freight  
claim. Under no condition may a damaged unit be re-  
turned to Traulsen & Co. without first obtaining writ-  
ten permission (return authorization).  
WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND  
STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS.  
To install the legs or casters, first raise and block the  
unit a minimum of 7from the floor. For installing  
legs, thread the legs into the threaded holes on the  
bottom of the cabinet (see figure 1). Be certain that all  
legs are tightly secured (legs and casters should be  
tightened to 300 inch/pounds, max). When the unit is  
set in its final position, it is important for proper op-  
eration that the unit be level. The legs are adjustable  
for this purpose, turn the bottom of the leg counter-  
clockwise to raise it, clockwise to lower it. Level the  
unit from front to back as well as side to side in this  
manner, using a level placed in the bottom of the cabi-  
net.  
III. INSTALLATION  
III. a - LOCATION:  
Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away  
from extreme heat or cold. Allow enough clearance  
between the unit and the side wall so that the door (s)  
may open a minimum of 90°.  
III. b - PACKAGING:  
All Traulsen units are shipped from the factory bolted  
to a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged in a durable  
cardboard container. The carton is attached to the  
wooden skid with the use of large staples. These  
should first be removed to avoid scratching the unit  
when lifting off the crate.  
Fig. 1  
To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we  
suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet  
during all transportation to the point of final installa-  
tion. The bolts can then be removed with a 3/4socket  
wrench. Avoid laying the unit on its front, side or  
back for removal of the pallet.  
Please note that Traulsen units are not designed to be  
moved while on legs. If the unit requires moving, a  
pallet jack or forklift should be used to prevent dam-  
age. For installing casters, the casters are plate”  
type, and require the use of four (4) bolts each to se-  
cure them firmly to the cabinet bottom at each corner  
(see figure 2). The caster bolts are tightened using a  
1/2socket wrench.  
NOTE: Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit  
down on its front, side or back. However, if you must  
please be certain to allow the unit to remain in an up-  
right position afterwards for 24 hours before plugging  
it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may  
settle.  
III. c - WIRING DIAGRAM:  
Refer to the wiring diagram for any service work per-  
formed on the unit. These are located on pages 21  
thru 24 of this manual. Should you require a wiring  
diagram for a non-standard configuration unit, please  
contact Traulsen Service at (800) 825-8220, and pro-  
vide the model and serial number of the unit involved.

III. i - REMOTE CONDENSING UNIT REQUIREMENTS:  
This section applies only to models RBC200,  
RBC200RT, RBC400 and RBC400RT. A remote con-  
densing unit, operating on R-404A refrigerant, is re-  
quired for Blast Chill operation on these models (two  
for RBC400 and RBC400RT). The remote condensing  
unit(s) should be capable of providing 18,700 BTU/hr  
@ -10°F suction and 90°F ambient at the evaporator  
coils of the Blast Chill section.

are provided, located at the right side and rear of the  
unit. Plug the unused drain port with the male pipe  
thread plug supplied (see figure 6).  
4 HP air-cooled and 3 HP water-cooled remote con-  
densing units are available from Traulsen as an op-  
tional accessory, but please note that these are rated  
for use only within a 25 foot radius of the cabinet. In-  
creased capacity of the remote condensing unit and  
line sizing will depend on the length and layout of the  
connecting piping from the remote condensing unit  
to the Blast Chill unit. Proper line sizing should be  
defined by a qualified refrigeration engineer or techni-  
cian.  
III. j - REMOTE UNIT CUT-OUT SETTINGS:  
This section applies only to models RBC200,  
RBC200RT, RBC400 and RBC400RT. The low pressure  
cut-out of the remote condensing unit should be ad-  
justed to obtain an evaporator coil temperature NO  
LOWER THAN -15°F. If the length of the connecting  
piping is 40 feet or less, the condensing unit low pres-  
sure cut-out settings will be approximately 15 +/- 2

III. INSTALLATION (continued)  
III. l - INSTALLING RBC50 CONTROL PANEL:  
III. m - ATTACHING RBC400 UNITS TOGETHER:  
This section applies only to models RBC400 and  
RBC400RT. First, place the front and rear cabinets in  
close proximity to each other being careful to align the  
drain from the front of the rear unit to the drain of the  
front unit. It will be necessary to level both units together  
at this time.  
Model RBC50 is shipped with the control panel de-  
tached, and laid flat, taped to the cabinet top (see fig-  
ure 8). This must be installed before use. To install:  
Remove the packing material and tape holding the  
control to the top. Remove and retain the six (6) Phillips  
head screws attaching the control cover to the frame.  
Also, remove and retain the 14- 20x1/2screws found  
in the cabinet top. Next, position the control frame  
over the hole in the unit top and attach using 1/4-20x1/  
2screws (see figure 9).  
The liquid line solenoid and TXV are provided. The tem-  
perature control and defrost functions are performed by  
the blast chill digital control.  
Next, using two pipe clamps, pull the units together(see  
figure 10). Install the covers over the gap formed be-  
tween the units From inside the cabinets, using the  
screws provided, install the breaker strips using the strip  
as a template.  
NOTE: Ensure that grommet is firmly in place, align-  
ing round hole in bottom of control housing with round  
hole in unit top.  
Inspect paper roll and spindle from rear of control panel  
before installing panel. Reattach the control cover to  
the frame using the six (6) Phillips head screws previ-  
ously removed.  
Connect both the probe harness and control harness from  
unit two (the rear unit) to their dedicated connectors on  
unit one (see figure 10a). Set #4 DIP switch to the ON  
position as shown (see figure 10b).

IV. CARE & MAINTENANCE  
IV. d - INSTALLING PRINTER PAPER (contd):  
IV. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:  
the paper opening with the spindle in the paper roll.  
Position the paper so it is fed out from the bottom of  
the roll. Feed the paper into the bottom of the printer  
enough to start the edge of the paper and press the  
print button on the key pad (this will draw the paper  
up through the printer and feed the paper out through  
the front of the printer).  
The most important thing you can do to insure a long,  
reliable service life for your Traulsen is to regularly  
clean the condenser coil. The self-contained condens-  
ing unit requires regularly scheduled cleaning to keep  
the finned condenser clean of lint and dust accumula-  
tion. Keeping the condenser clean allows the cabinet  
to operate more efficiently and use less energy.  
Feed the printer paper through the slot in the printer  
cover and position the printer cover in place. Secure  
the printer cover with the original screws (see figure  
11).  
To clean the self-contained condenser, first discon-  
nect electrical power to the cabinet and lift up the front  
louver assembly. To lift this, remove the two thumb  
screws located on both sides at the bottom of the lou-  
ver assembly. Once the screws are removed, the panel  
can be pivoted upwards allowing full access to the  
front facing condenser (for model RBC50, remove the  
four Phillips head screws from the front louver panel,  
and lift-off). Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust  
from the finned condenser coil, the compressor and  
other cooling system parts. If significant dirt is clog-  
ging the condenser fins, use compressed air to blow  
this clear. Lower louver assembly and replace thumb  
screws to hold it in place. For care of the remote con-  
densing unit(s) used for models RBC200, RBC200RT,  
RBC400 and RBC400RT, consult the manufacturer’s  
product literature.  
Test the printer by pressing the print button and make  
sure the paper feeds normally and the text is clear.  
Printer paper is standard 2-1/4wide x 100long small

IV. b - CLEANING THE EXTERIOR:  
Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned with warm  
water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with a damp-  
ened cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain.  
Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty, abra-  
sive cleaners as they may tend to mar and scratch the  
surface. Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine,  
this may promote corrosion of the stainless steel.  
V. OTHER  
V. a - SERVICE AGENCY CHECK & START-UP:  
Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit  
with water, containing chlorinated cleansers, when  
mopping the floor around the unit. For stubborn odor  
spills, use baking soda and water (mixed to a 1 TBSP  
baking soda to 1 pint water ratio).  
After installation and start-up, contact Traulsen’s Ser-  
vice Department at (800) 825-8220 to arrange for a  
Mechanical Installation and Operation Inspection,”  
which is required by Traulsen to validate the warranty.  
On-site inspection not required for model RBC50.  
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER  
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE  
UNIT.  
V. b - ON-SITE BLAST CHILL TRAINING:  
Traulsen offers the operator comprehensive one and  
two day, on-site training in the proper operation of  
your Blast Chiller. Contact your authorized Traulsen  
equipment dealer for more information.  
IV. c - CLEANING THE INTERIOR:  
For cleaning stainless steel interiors, the use of bak-  
ing soda as described in section IV. bis recom-  
mended. Use on breaker strips as well as door gas-  
kets. All interior fittings are removable without tools  
to facilitate cleaning. A defrost cycle is the ideal time  
for performing interior cleaning.  
V. c - SERVICE INFORMATION:  
Before calling for service, please check the follow-  
ing:  
Is the electrical cord plugged in?  
IV. d - INSTALLING PRINTER PAPER:  
Is the fuse OK or circuit breaker on?  
Remove the two (2) thumb screws on either side of  
the printer cover. Pull the printer cover out and up to  
expose the printer. Cut a clean edge on the end of a  
roll of printer paper. Install the printer paper in through  
If after checking the above items and the unit is still  
not operating properly, please contact an authorized

VI. c - GROUPING FOODS TO FORM BATCHES:  
In order to achieve the best utilization of the Blast  
Chiller Unit, it is possible to group foods with similar  
cooling properties to form Batches. This will allow  
one of the food probes to be inserted into one pan of  
food product within the “batch” and represent the  
cooling rate of the entire batch.  
V. e - BLAST CHILL VIDEO:  
Traulsen supplies each Blast Chiller sold with an op-  
erational video (VHS format).  
V. f - BLAST CHILL DATA COMMUNICATIONS KIT:  
To obtain information about downloading batch data  
to a PC, please contact the factory.  
Based on our testing, we have found that foods with  
higher levels of water content will cool much faster  
than foods that have lower water content. If more than  
three (3) types of foods are to be blast chilled at the  
same time, it will be necessary to form one or more  
batches to make best utilization of the three (3) probes  
available. Below is a list of guidelines to follow when  
forming batches.  
VI. BLAST CHILL OPERATION  
VI. a - LOADING FOOD INTO PANS:  
The food product to be blast chilled should be placed  
into metal pans (generally 12x 20x 2-1/2) to a  
DEPTH NOT TO EXCEED 2. This will assure the fast-  
est blast chilling cycle. NOTE: Use of deeper pans  
and/or plastic containers can cause freezing and if  
product is too thick or deep, the surface will freeze  
and the center of the product will be insulated, pre-  
venting proper chilling (see figure 12).  
1) Do not combine hot food and room temperature  
foods within the same batch, even though they may  
be similar (i.e. hot tuna casserole and cool tuna salad).  
This is because it will take longer to cool from cook-  
ing temperatures to 40°F (5°C) than it will take from 70  
°F to 40°F (21°C to 5°C). CAUTION: Coupling hot foods  
with cold foods run the risk of the cold food remain-  
ing at dangerous temperatures too long as hot foods  
cool.  
RECOMMENDED  
NOT RECOMMENDED  
2” Maximum  
Food Depth  
More Than  
2” Depth  
2) The chart on page 8 shows the relative cooling times  
of various foods compared to water (generally the fast-  
est to cool). It can also be used as an approximate  
guideline when forming batches.  
3) Sliced meats placed in layers will cool more rapidly  
than whole meats due to the ratio of surface area to  
content (volume) allowing for greater heat dissipation.  
VI. b - COVERING FOODS:  
It is recommended that all food product be covered  
with plastic wrap or foil for hot foods to minimize mois-  
ture loss from product during the blast chilling pro

On the Roll-In and Roll-Thru models, it is recommended  
that the slower cooling foods within the batch be placed  
in the area of the cart which will be toward the rear of  
the Blast Chill interior (away from the door). This area  
of the unit receives the incoming air from the blowers  
and is slightly cooler than the air passing over the pans  
nearest the doors (see figure 15).  
Model RBC100 has a maximum recommended capac-  
ity of 100 lbs. of food. This would be approximately  
ten (10) 12x 20x 2-1/2pans with 2thick product.  
Models RBC200 and RBC200RT have a maximum rec-  
ommended capacity of 200 lbs. of food. This would be

to moderate the temperature of the air being circulated.  
Lightly loaded blast chill cycles tend to run with colder  
air temperatures, which can cause the food to freeze  
near the outside surfaces of the pans. The soft chill  
cycle should be used if the chiller is loaded less than  
50% of capacity.

VI. BLAST CHILL OPERATION (contd)  
VI. f - FOOD PROBE PLACEMENT:  
The food probes should be placed into the food prod-  
uct so that the tip of the probe is near the core (abso-  
lute center) of the food in the pan. The food probe  
senses temperature in the last 1of metal tip. The  
core area will be the slowest to cool, therefore is used  
to monitor the completion of the blast chill cycle (see  
figure 16).

Care should be taken to assure that the food probe tip  
is not touching the bottom or sides of the pan since  
these areas will cool much faster than the core area,  
prematurely terminating the blast chill cycle before the  
core has reached the desired temperature.

VII. a - OPERATING MODES:  
The Digitraul II (control panel) performs the following  
five basic functions:  
FLASH CHILL MODE - Product is always setup with  
probe/probes. This mode reduces product tempera-  
ture to 0°F (-18°C) and is adjustable between 0° to +5°F  
(-18°C to -15°C). When the alarm sounds, product is  
ready to be removed. Cabinet automatically returns to  
34°F to 38°F (1°C to 3°C) normal operating tempera-  
ture. NOTE: All product will be frozen in this mode.  
Freezing times will vary depending upon the product.  
All product must be removed after cycle is complete.  
The chiller will not hold product in frozen state.  
1. Maintenance Mode  
2. Blast Chill Mode  
3. Soft Chill Mode  
4. Flash Chill Mode  
5. Constant Chill Mode  
6. Continuous Batching Mode  
MAINTENANCE MODE - Operates as a holding refrig-  
erator. Fail safe temperature holding range, preset at  
the factory of 34°F to 38°F (1.1°C to 3.3°C) and has an  
adjustable range of 30°F to 41°F (-1°C to 5°C).  
CONSTANT CHILL MODE - This mode is similar to Blast  
Chill except that the food probes do not control the  
cycle. It is a time controlled operation, reverting to  
maintenance mode at the end of the timeframe set.  
Food probes can be used to monitor product tempera-  
ture. System will automatically defrost every three (3)  
hours. To perform a Constant Chill Operationpress  
the NEW BATCH, then the CONSTANT CHILL button.  
The display will change to a digital clock reading of  
(1:30) with the hour flashing. Use the up & down arrow  
buttons to change the hours up or down and then push  
ENTER. Now the minutes will be flashing. Set the min-  
utes desired with the arrow buttons and then press  
ENTER. Now press the START button to run the batch.  
When the amount of time set in the display is reached,  
the unit will sound the alarm and return to maintenance  
mode. Note: Pressing TIMERbutton during the batch  
will display the time remaining in the current cycle.  
BLAST CHILL MODE - Input temperatures from 140°F  
to 180°F (60°C to 82°C). Range of completion of Blast  
Chill cycle is adjustable between 35°F to 41°F (2°C to  
5°C). Blast chill mode should be used for high density  
food such as meat, vegetables and starches.  
SOFT CHILL MODE - Designed for light loads or low  
density products. Product is always setup using  
probes. As food temperature reaches 70°F (21°C), the  
fan speed is reduced. This will allow respiration, which  
will increase pull down times to control Blast Chilling  
effects. When air temperature reaches 34°F (1°C), the  
compressor cycles off and back on at 38°F (3°C). When  
food temperature reaches settings of 35°F to 41°F (2°C  
to 5°C), the cycle is complete.

IX. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE  
SYMPTOM  
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION  
1. Condensing unit fails to start when programming a new  
batch.  
a. Check power supply to condensing unit.  
b. Batch was not programmed properly, was START pressed after programming batch? If  
“YES” the display should return to TIME and TEMPERATURE.  
c. System problem. Call for service.  
2. Batch requires too much time to chill product down to  
40° F. Chill Cycles Batch Over 6-Hourswill ALARM  
and a printout will note the chill cycle has exceeded  
maximum safe time.  
a. Is the door closed properly? If not, close door completely.  
b. Too much product loaded. Adjust the load to not exceed capacity of the unit.  
c. Product depth in pan exceeds 2-1/2”. Reduce pan load per guidelines on page 7.  
d. Has pan been covered with a lid, plastic wrap or foil, and is this not in direct contact with  
the product? Cover product correctly as per guidelines on page 7.  
e. Perhaps the product loaded is of a high density. Allow additional chilling time.  
f. Dirty condenser coil. Clean condenser as per instructions on page 6.  
g. Evaporator coil iced. Allow to defrost (press DEFROST to initiate a manual defrost).  
3. Food Probe Failure- ALARM will occur during a  
chill cycle batch with printout noting the Food Probe  
Failure Warning.”  
a. Food Probe Failure- printer will notify the operator that it is converting to Constant Chill  
mode. Food probe(s) may not have been assigned while programming the chill cycle batch.  
Review new batch procedures on page 13.  
b. Press the food probe button, if the display reads ---, press PRINT.If a (-99°) F probe  
temperature is displayed then there is an open circuit. Check the probe plug connection.  
c. Press the food probe button, if the display reads ---, press PRINT.If a 500° F probe  
temperature is displayed then there is an open circuit. Check the probe plug connection.  
d. Food probe was placed in excessively hot product. Product temperatures exceeding  
210° F can result in the probe reporting false temperatures. Cool food probe and test again.  
f. Food probe fails and will then operate correctly at a later time. Program a Blast Chill batch  
using the suspect probe. Wiggle the food probe wire. If a second Food Probe Failure”  
occurs the food probe is defective. Replace with new food probe.  
g. Damaged or defective food probe. Replace with new food probe.  
4. Refrigeration Failure- ALARM with a printout  
noting the warning will occur when the interior  
temperature exceeds 100° F for more than 20-minutes.  
Blast Chill refrigeration system will shut down as a  
safety default. The compressors and blower fans are  
shut off and the control key pad is locked out.  
Refrigeration FailureCORRECTION - Remove power from the unit. Unplug and then
