Hint!

The compressors will not operate for approximately one minute after connection of the mains/
power supply, because there is an automatic delay device in the circuit. Temperature and alarm
settings can be adjusted immediately.

Hint!

Failure to turn on the battery switch may lead to a discharged battery, low battery alarm
indication, and/or a disabled alarm system.

Hint!

Pull down time to -86 °C will be dependent on the freezer size and model (see Specifications on
p. 38)
. The
alarm will sound every 30 minutes until the temperature setpoint is reached. Use the
MUTE feature to mute the alarm during this initial pull-down period.

Hint!

In a mains/power failure situation, the remote alarm socket will operature regardless of the state
of the alarm battery or battery switch.
