OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

 

CompactFreezer

When a freezer is installed, the LN2 lines are blown out to clear out debris. There is a strainer on each 
LN2 drop line that should be cleaned about one time per year.

 

 

To  clean  the  orifices,  remove  the  nozzle. Probe  the  orifice  in  the  nozzle  with  a  fine  pin  and  tap  the 
nozzle lightly to remove the foreign material from inside.  Replace the nozzle, making sure to point the 
orifices the same as they were.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

 

 

FDC

4300  Fuzzy  Logic plus  PID microprocessor

based  controller,  incorporates  a  bright,  easy to  read 4

 

digit  LED  display,  indicating  process  value.  The  Fuzzy  Logic  technology  enables  a  process  to  reach a 
predetermined  set  point  in  the  shortest  time,  with  the  minimum  of  overshoot  during  power

up  or 

external  load  disturbance.  The  units  feature  three  touch  keys  to  select  the  various  control  and  input 
parameters. Our  unit  is  powered  by  11

28  or  90

264  VDC/AC  supply,  incorporating  a  2  amp  control 

relay  output  and  dual  2  amp  alarm  relays  output  as  standard. The  unit  is  set  up  to  digitally  display 
temperature in degrees F.  There are LED status indicators to show activation of Outputs 1 and alarm 1 
and the set point and ambient is displayed. The outputs are on/Off signals. Alarm 1 signal controls  the 
constant  (throttled)  low  flow  injection,  and  Out  1  signals  the  make

up  (full  flow)  injection.  The  lower 

limit  set  point  is  programmed  to  not  exceed 

125°F (

130°C), but  can  be  reprogrammed  for  warmer 

or  colder limits if the situation warrants it. 

 

Control  functions,  alarm  settings,  and  other  parameters  are  easily  entered  through  the  front  keypad. 
Programmed  data  is  protected  from  unauthorized  changes  with  its 

“ENABLE

 

MOD”

  security  system. 

Battery back

up protects against data loss during AC power outages. 

 

The instrument is removable from its housing. External wiring for the controller is connected to the panel 
board at the back of the housing. 

 

To remove the instrument from its housing, pull the instrument straight out. 

 

When reinstalling, be sure that the vertically mounted circuit boards are inserted in the correct  grooves 
in the top and bottom of the housing. 

 

The  controller  has  a  default  circuit  and  is  checked  out  at  the  time  of  freezer  assembly.  Should  a 
temperature  control  problem  develop  first  check  for  loose  connections  to  the  controller  and  the 
temperature sensor and the sensor connection in the module apparatus box.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR (RTD TYPE)

 

 

To replace the temperature sensor, disconnect leads inside the apparatus box, loosen compression  nut, 
fittings  and  remove  fitting  and  sensor  from  within  the  apparatus  box.  Install  new  sensor  by  sliding  it 
through the same opening in the apparatus box;  

the sensor should protrude 1” to 1‐1/2” down from

 the 

ceiling of the module and be free from being hit by the fan blade. Connect new leads to proper wires  of 
shielded cable.  A fitting is part of the new sensor.
