The display indicators, operator input buttons, Supervisor Keyswitch and
audible alarm are mounted on the door to the upper half of the enclosure.
The main microprocessor logic card, mounted on the back of the door,
contains the program held in flash erasable programmable read-only
memory (FLASH EPROM) for security; data on FLASH EPROM is
impervious to power supply fluctuations or even complete loss of power
for an indefinite period of time. All control settings and stored variables
are held in random access memory (RAM), backed up by a lithium
battery with an expected life of 8 years.
To guard against non-specific microprocessor malfunctions, perhaps as a
result of exceptional power supply fluctuations, the Fridgewatch 2100
Controller incorporates a Watchdog device which continuously monitors
the microprocessor all the time it is running. If the Watchdog detects a
potential fault condition, it automatically resets the microprocessor. After
restarting, Fridgewatch returns to the previous mode of control. If this
was an auto start/stop mode and there is a demand for duty, Fridgewatch
restarts the compressor (subject to normal starting/running parameters).

Power may be taken from a line and neutral supply. If power is derived from a
transformer, the common side of the secondary winding must be earthed. Centre
tapped earthed type transformers
MUST NOT
be used with the standard Fridgewatch
