LABEC PLRGD-1400 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
Congratulations on the choice of another quality product. Labec products are manufactured, tested
and calibrated to meet published standard specifications under our strict quality assurance
guidelines.
This Instruction Manual is for the guidance of operators of Labec Refrigerators and should be read
before the Refrigerator is connected to the electricity supply.
It is hoped that this manual will supply all the information that the customer should require for
satisfactory operation of this product. If, however, there are any questions that remain unanswered
then the customer should contact our Service Department.
Unpacking
Remove all packing and protective wrapping from both interior and exterior of the Refrigerator. Check
the Refrigerator for any possible transit damage. Ensure all ordered accessories are present. If any
physical damage or shortages are evident, do not discard the packaging material until the
Refrigerator is inspected by the distributor, agent or manufacturer.
NOTE: All claims for shortage or damage must be made within fourteen days (14) from delivery.
Subject to our standard published conditions of sale, we have reasonable grounds to believe that we
have ensured, so far as is reasonably practical, that the products listed in our catalogue and
brochures have been designed and constructed so as to be safe and without risk to health when
properly installed and used in their environment by appropriate and trained personnel, and where
applicable, in accordance with our published instructions.
Installation­Electrical
This equipment must be tagged and tested according to AS/NZS3760:2010 prior to use and
thereafter on a regular basis dependent upon the environment.
It is preferable to locate the Refrigerator close to a power point and recommended that double
adaptors are not used. Check the total wattage if connecting to multipoint outlets. Check the rating
plate for power requirements. Installation is to be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance
with the power requirements of the product specifications. The unit must be EARTHED.
DANGER: THIS Refrigerator MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO DIRECT CURRENT SUPPLY
Alarm Output/BMS (If fitted)
If the Refrigerator has a safety alarm controller output fitted (BMS is a voltage free connection) the
AUX alarm output connection can be connected to an external device such as a phone dialler or
similar or building maintenance system to indicate temperature fluctuations. Do not set the alarm
hysterisis too close to the set temperature or the alarm will activate too often.
Operation
1. Connect the chamber to an alternating current supply of voltage as specified on the rating
plate mounted on the side or rear of the chamber. The main temperature controller will turn
on automatically.
2. The temperature controller will switch the Refrigerator on and control temperature.
3. Set the alarm values if required.
4. Set the temperature controller at the required temperature using the up and down arrows on
the keypad. See Appendix A for more details.
5. Final adjustment of the temperature controller may be required after the chamber has
reached operating temperature and this should be checked with a suitable thermometer
located in the chamber (A thermometer is not supplied with the chamber).
6. The shelves can carry around 20 kilograms each.
