Unpacking and Set-Up
1.
Remove the freezer and all accessories from the box.
Carefully inspect the freezer and all accessories for any shipping damage.
2.
Check the packing list to verify that the shipment is complete.
3.
Place the freezer on a level surface.
4.
Make sure that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked.
5.
Connect to a power source. The freezer can be used with either the AC Power Supply for lab,
home or office use, or the DC Power Cord for automotive use.
A. To use the AC Power Supply:
i. Plug the AC power supply into the freezer.
ii. Plug the power supply into the mains/wall socket.
iii. The freezer will return to whatever state it was in (on or off ) when it lost power.
B. To use the DC Power Cord in a motor vehicle:
i. Make sure the freezer remains level. Exceeding an angle of 12 degrees
may cause loss of cooling.
ii. Plug the DC Power Cord into a 12V outlet that is rated at 15 amps or greater.
(
NOTE
: Not for use with 24 volt automotive systems)
Consult your automotive specialist if your vehicle lacks 15 A rated 12V outlets.
iii. Plug the opposite end into the ULT-25.
6.
Notes on operation in a vehicle.
A. The ULT-25 will operate on battery power for a limited time before the battery is drained and the
vehicle cannot be started. This time will vary from vehicle to vehicle but is generally only a few hours.
B. The engine should be running to prevent accidental total discharge of the battery.
C. The power to 12V outlets in some vehicles may be interrupted during engine starting.
This will cause a sudden stop of the cooling unit which may produce a sound that is different than
when turning off the ULT-25 by using the Off button. This is normal and will not damage the
cooling unit. The cooling unit will restart automatically once power resumes.
D. Do not operate the ULT-25 in an unattended vehicle. This may lead to overheating
if left in the sun and subsequent damage to stored contents.
7.
Disconnecting from power.
A. Turn off the freezer (see page 9)
i. The seven-segment display will show the word “OFF” while the FPSC turns off.
ii. Unplug the freezer after the word “OFF” disappears and the display goes dark.
iii. If you unplug the freezer while it is on, you will hear a sudden noise when the FPSC shuts off.
Power outages will also cause the same noise. This noise (sort of a “bonk”) is not indicative of damage.
