4.2 Probe Failure Alarms
The microprocessor in 8600 series freezers continually
scans all probes including the control probe, heat exchanger
probe, condenser probe and optional sample probe to ensure that
they are operating properly. Should an error be detected, the
"PROBE # FAIL" alarm will occur as described in 4.1 above. If
an error is detected with the control probe (PROBE 1 FAIL), the
high and low stage compressors will run continuously. As a
result, the cabinet temperature will decrease until it reaches the
lowest temperature that the refrigeration system can maintain. If
an error is detected with the heat exchanger probe (PROBE 2
FAIL), the freezer will cycle properly at its temperature set point
using a 5 minute step start between the high and low stage com-
pressors. If an error is detected with the condenser probe
(PROBE 3 FAIL) or optional sample probe (PROBE 4 FAIL),
there is no impact on the performance of the freezer. However,
the hot condenser alarm may also occur when the condenser
probe fails. Contact the Technical Services Department (1-888-
213-1790) or your local distributor.
