1.6 Intended use
ULTRA.Guard™ ultra-low temperature freezers UF V are technical equipment and intended solely for use
at work. They are suitable are designed for safe storage of varied materials at temperatures up to –86 °C
/ -122,8 °F, especially for long-term storage of biological, medical, and chemical samples at constant low
temperature. They are suitable for the domains Pharmacy, Medicine, Life Sciences, plastic industry, elec-
tronic components, food etc.
Freezers are designed for storage of harmless materials. None of the components of the charging mate-
rial must be able to form an explosive mixture with air.
Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 14) are part of the intended use.
Other applications are not approved.
WARNING: If customer should use a freezer running in non-supervised continuous opera-
tion, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples to
split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.
1.7 Operating instructions
Depending on the application and location of the unit, the operator of the freezer must provide the rele-
vant information for safe operation of the unit in a set of operating instructions.
Keep these operating instructions with the unit at all times in a place where they are clearly
visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.

1.8 Measures to prevent accidents
The operator of the ULTRA.Guard™ ultra-low temperature freezer UF V must observe the following regu-
lation: Occupational Safety Regulations. Operation of refrigeration units, heat pumps and cooling systems
(GUV-R 500 chap. 2.35) (for Germany).
Following measures have been taken by the manufacturer in order to prevent ignition and explosions:
•Indications of the type plate
See operating manual chap. 1.4
•Operating manual
An operating manual is available for each freezer.
•Temperature monitoring
The freezer has a temperature display which can be read from outside.
An additional temperature safety device is built into the device. A visual and an audible signal (buzzer)
show exceeding of the temperature.
•Safety, measurement and control devices
The safety, measuring, and control devices are easily accessible.
•Electrostatic charge
The interior parts are grounded.
•Protection against touchable surfaces
Tested according to EN ISO 13732-3:2008.
•Floors
See operating manual chap. 3.4 for installation
•Cleaning
See operating manual chap. 14.3.
•Examinations
The freezer has been inspected by the “Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung e.V. (DGUV), Fa-
chausschuss Nahrungs- und Genussmittel, Prüf- und Zertifizierungsstelle im DGUV Test“ (German
Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), Expert Committee for the food processing industry, Testing and
Certification Body in DGUV) and bears the GS mark.
The GS mark is omitted if the chamber is equipped with the optional CO2emergeny cool-
ing.

2. Unit description
The ULTRA.Guard™ ultra-low temperature freezers UF V were produced with great care using the latest
tools for development and production. They were optimized for safe long-term storage of samples in the
ultra-low temperature range and reach the minimum temperature of -86 °C / -122.8 °F in approx. 9 hours.
You can operate the freezer in a temperature range from -86 °C / -122.8 °F up to -40 °C / -40 °F.
The UF V units are regularly equipped with the progressive RFID system (optional for UF V UL), offering
personalized access control. The UF V UL units are regularly equipped with the advanced voltage boost-
er AVC (option for UF V) and a data logger (option for UF V).
The freezers are available with the door hinged on right or left and for several different voltages.
Easy opening and closing door mechanism and access control
A pushbutton permits opening the automatic door mechanism without using your hands. A pull-tight func-
tion automatically closes the outer door when slightly open. For personalized access control, the freezer
door is RFID controlled (standard with UF V, option for UF V UL) and an optional door locking with key is
available (option for UF V UL).
The freezer is regularly equipped with a key switch (main power switch) to switch on and off the unit.
Controller
For temperature control, the freezer is equipped with the microprocessor controller RP1 with a digital
display. The controller keypad can be locked (keyboard locking). Temperature setting is accurate to one
degree. The controller is mounted at eye level.
The controller offers an error diagnostics system generating audible and visual warning and alarm mes-
sages. During power failure, alarm function and control remain active during 72h. The controller provides
password protection for the setting menus. Testing the alarm functions is always possible.
The controller monitors ambient temperature and issues an alarm if it exceeds an adjustable value.
A counter of operating hours / weeks is included.
Housing
The inner chamber and the inside of the insulated outer door are made of stainless steel (material no.
1.4301 (V2A) in Germany). The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also
completely coated. The inner surfaces are smooth and therefore easy to clean. Easy front access permits
filter cleaning without tools. A 10 mm access port prepared to be finalized by the user and an additional
optional access port serves to introduce a cable and sensor of a measuring device.
The buildup of ice in the door area is minimal due to perfect closing of the inner and outer doors and a
heating of the outer door gasket. Precise spatial distribution of the cold in the interior ensures storage of
all samples at an identical storage temperature. The prevention of thermal bridges protects against de-
frosting. The combination of vacuum insulation panels (V technology) and CFC-free polyurethane foam-
ing maximizes the cold storage capacity.
The freezer has four compartment doors. You can insert stainless steel shelves are make optimum use of
the interior. You can flexibly arrange the shelves to use the interior in a variable and optimum manner.
Inventory racks (stainless steel storage racks with cryo boxes, chap. 13) are optionally available.
Vertically adjustable castors with locks serve to move the freezer and then place it safely at its destina-
tion.

UF V (E2+E2.1) 03/2013 page 20/112
Cooling system
The powerful, energy-efficient and low-noise refrigerating machine uses the refrigerants R404a and
R508b. They are completely free of HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbon)
and not inflammable.
Control of the two-stage refrigerating machine: The 1st stage cooling immediately turns on. In addition, the
2nd stage cooling turns on depending on the temperature.
Safety
Thanks to the standard overtemperature safety device, the set temperature is maintained also in case of
a controller failure.
In case of power failure at -80 °C / -112 °F, a temperature of -60 °C / -76 °F will not be exceeded in an
empty freezer for at least 3 hours, in a loaded freezer (measured with a 30 kg / 66 lb water load) for ap-
prox. 7 hours.
The freezer is equipped with a rechargeable battery (12 V, 7.2 Ah). Battery voltage is regularly monitored.
An alarm indicates too low battery voltage. You can check battery voltage in the “USER” menu.
The advanced voltage booster provides automatic voltage compensation through a buck/boost converter
(standard with UF V UL, option for UF V, chap. 4.7).
An error diagnostics system monitors the unit functions and generates audible and visual warning and
alarm messages. The door is monitored for being closed.
The CO2emergency cooling (option, chap. 11) offers additional refrigeration, i.e., following introduction of
a heat load, in case of a power failure or failure of the cooling system.
Data monitoring and recording
The freezer is regularly equipped with a zero-voltage relay alarm output (chap. 10.10) and with an analog
output (chap. 12.3) for integration into customer systems. An additional independent Pt100 temperature
sensor with output on Lemo socket is available (option, chap. 12.4). The freezer can be optionally
equipped with an Ethernet interface (option, chap. 12.1) for computer communication, enabling monitor-
ing via a network. The BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option,
chap. 12.2) permits networking of up to 30 units and connection to a computer, as well as recording and
representing temperature data.
A circular chart recorder (option for UF V UL, chap. 12.5) or a data logger with USB port that is inde-
pendent from the chamber controller (standard with UF V UL, option for UF V, chap. 12.6) serve to inde-
pendently record the temperature values, data given out in compliance with FDA guideline 21 CFR part
11.
