This item was thoroughly inspected and carefully packed
prior to shipment and all necessary precautions were taken to
ensure safe arrival. Immediately upon receipt, before the unit is
moved from the receiving area, carefully examine the shipment
for loss or damage. Unpack the shipment and inspect both inte-
rior and exterior for any in-transit damage.
1.2 Visible Loss or Damage
If any loss or damage is discovered, note any discrepancies
on the delivery receipt and call the delivering carrier and
request that their representative perform an inspection. Do not
discard any of the packing material and do not move the ship-
ment from the receiving area.

Section 2 - Introduction
2.1 Standard Features
The Model 1010 Freezing System consists of a Model
8018 Programmable Controller, a Countertop Freezing
Chamber and a Strip Chart Temperature Recorder.
a. Model 8018 Programmable Controller
The Model 8018 is a microprocessor based programmable
controller, that provides precise automatic temperature control
for a choice of freezing chambers.
Six standard factory-set programs provide ease of operation
for common freezing operations. Additionally, nine programs
that may be operator programmed, are available to address the
user’s specific freezing applications. Each program consists of
nine sections, for continuous temperature programming. A
“jump and loop” programming feature permits the user to auto-
matically advance to subsequent steps, or return to a previous
step, as needed.
A three-digit access code provides system security, as well
as protection against inadvertent program erasure. The access
code may be used to manually override a program in “run”
mode, but on the factory-set programs the controller will not
retain in memory the value entered, and will revert back to the
factory-set program.
An audible alarm system alerts the operator of any devia-
tion from setpoint, by comparing the current chamber tempera-
ture with setpoint temperature. If the two values differ by more
than the factory-set time and temperature limits, an audible
alarm is activated, and a tracking error is logged on the strip-
chart recorder printout. The audible alarm also signals comple-
tion of the program cycle.
Note:
The Tracking Error Limit setpoints were entered at the
factory for one minute, at ±5°C.
Built-in self diagnostics provide service quality assurance,
in that any test error is visually displayed in conjunction with
an audible alarm.
