ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE LID SEAL
The lid seal is the most likely area of heat penetration. If the lid hinges are wrongly
aligned or the lid seal damaged, the system will have to work harder to maintain the
vaccine temperature. When the batteries run out of energy the system will fail,
therefore the lid seal must be checked regularly.
The easiest way to check your seal is to position a piece of paper between the lid
and the wall, then after the lid, try to remove the paper.
Check the seal in this way around the entire lid, especially
the corners . If the paper
moves easily, then the lid seal needs attention, it may need to be re-guled or
completely replaced, alternatively the refrigerator hinges may need adjusting so that
the lid is sitting correctly.
CHECK FOR SHADOWS
Any shading of the array (solar panels) will reduce it’s output, therefore the array
must be checked three times in one day, at 7 am, 12 midday and 5 pm, to ensure all
possible shade sources are eliminated.
Cut back any bushes or trees, which cause shading, seeking permission and
explaining why firstly.
Move anything that has been placed in front of the array, and may block the
sunshine falling on it.
If there have been any new buildings or structures erected which cause shadowing,
then the array must be moved to an unshaded area.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS
Check each electrical connection thoroughly, make sure every nut and bolt, are
secured tightly.
