GENERAL

The

coldtainer

s has been designed for the professional temperature controlled

transport of limited volumes of perishable items, like food, pharmaceuticals,

biologicals.

The units are designed, if properly operated and connected to a suitable power

source, to maintain perishable items at a stable temperature during transport, as

a link of a “cold chain” system. Units are not designed to cool down or freeze or

heat up perishable items.

The units are not intended for sale-to and use-by end consumers. The sales of

Euroengel mobile fridges do not fall within the scope of Directive 1999/44/EC or

similar end users protection legislations.

SAFETY

• Before using the unit, read these operating instructions carefully, including all

information on operating safety, use and maintenance.

• Keep these operating instructions ready at hand and leave them with the unit,

so that all users can nd out about the functions and safety regulations. Every

user must be well acquainted with the operation of the appliance and with the

instructions concerning safety. Failure to observe these instructions can impair

the performance of the appliance and cause damage.

• All installation work and adjustments to the unit must only be carried out by

qualied personnel. Work performed by persons with insufcient technical

knowledge may adversely affect the performance of the unit or cause physical

injury or damage to the equipment.

• The unit must only be used by adults. Do not allow children to play with the

units or touch the controls.

• Do not place inammable liquids or gas bottles in the cool box. Danger of

explosion!

• For large containers: never lock anybody inside. Danger of suffocation!

• Pay attention on all moving parts when closing the door. Watch out not to hurt

your hands or ngers when operating the closing mechanism.

• Be aware of the full weight of the unit you are using. Use proper lifting

equipment in the case.

• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, always switch the refrigerator

off and disconnect the plug.

• The unit’s hermetic cooling system contains CFC free refrigerant gas (R134a or

R404A). Make sure to not damage the cooling system so to avoid leaks.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Specic versions with different internal temperature setting are available for each

container size, (ask for data sheet of single models for specic values):

• NDN: cooling function, internal temperature down to 0°C (with +32°C ambient)

NDH: automatic cooling / heating function, internal temperature from 0°C to

+30°C (with ambient temperature from -20°C to +32°C)

• NDH: automatic cooling / heating function, internal temperature from 0°C to

+30°C (with ambient temperature from -20°C to +32°C)

• FDN: freezer function, internal temperature down to -21°C (with +32°C ambient)

• FDH: automatic cooling / heating function, internal temperature from -21°C to

+30°C (with ambient temperature from -20°C to +32°C)

• XFDN: deep freezing, internal temperature down to -30°C or -35°C, according

to model (with +32°C ambient)

The

coldtainer

s operate via direct current compressors connected to a 12-24Vdc

or 12Vdc power source (according to model). The high quality SECOP BD series

direct current compressors used in the units are designed to withstand vibrations,

also in case of use in off-road conditions, and can work with an inclination of up

than 30°.The units shall be switched off if positioned at an angle of more than 30°.

After being returned to a level position, allow to rest for approximately 30 minutes

before switching on.

SECOP compressors have built-in protection systems against overload and start

failure, fan overload, reverse polarity, overheating. When overload protection is

activated, the compressor enters a cycle in which it attempts to start at approximately

60 second intervals until a successful start is achieved. When overheating protection

is activated (i.e. ambient temperature exceed ab. +55°C) the compressor will restart

automatically approximately 60 seconds after the temperature of the electronic has

cooled down to a safe value.

If a voltage outside the specied range is applied to the electronic unit, the

compressor does not start, or it stops if the voltage limit is exceeded during

operation. The compressor will restart automatically approximately 60 seconds

after the supply voltage has reached the reset voltage within the range in question.

If a fan is installed, it will start to operate without a delay as soon as the reset

voltage is reached.

Maximum operating ambient temperature is ab. +55°C (with degraded

performances). Minimum operating ambient temperature (for NDH and FDH

models) is -20°C.

The internal temperature displayed by the digital controller is the one sensed in the

vicinity of the probe area. The temperature in other points of the container can vary,

after stabilization, normally in a ± 2°C range.

The NDH and FDH versions have an internal fan for a better internal air distribution.

An “internal fan” kit is available as accessory for the NDN, FDN and XFDN versions.

Always pre-condition the internal temperature of the unit before use. Do not place

any hot item inside the unit, precool them rst.

IMPORTANT: the starting current of the larger BD compressor can reach 35A (12V).

To guarantee stable operations it is essential to connect the units to batteries of

proper Ah capacity.

In case of the larger freezer versions it is recommended to use batteries with no less

than 100Ah (with150A alternators) capacity.

In case of use of a too small Ah capacity battery, even if new and well charged, the

compressor would not start. This is valid also for connection of multiple units to a

same battery.

Eventually connect the unit to a proper capacity deep cycle service battery, using a

proper split charging system to connect it to the main battery.

Even if the plastic materials (PE) used for the production of the units are food grade,

it is always suggested to store food or other products in proper closed containers.

BEFORE USE

• The units should be placed in a dry location and should not be exposed to di-

rect sun light or any other heat source (e.g. radiator). Protect it against rain and

humidity. In case on use on a pick-up truck, always use a proper cargo cover to

protect the unit.

• Always make sure there is sufcient ventilation so that heat generated during

normal operation can dissipate. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not cove-

red. Leave at least 50 mm. from top and around the unit to grant an adequate

ventilation.

• Always secure tightly the units f loaded on a vehicle, in order to prevent any

forward, side and backward movement during driving or while braking. Use

load straps, anchor points or other suitable restraints, properly homologated.

• Store the items within the fridge so that the air can circulate around the goods.

• Do not open the fridge more often than necessary and do not leave the

lid / door open for longer than necessary.

• Take care when transporting pharmaceuticals and biological products. Always

check if the temperature range of the fridge is adequate for the purpose.

• All servicing and repairs involving recharging of the cooling system must only

be carried out by a qualied customer service engineer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, STANDARD MODELS

The

coldtainer

s can be operated connected to following direct current power

sources:

• 12Vdc or 24Vdc (the input voltage is automatically regulated by the electronic):

T0022/FDN, T0022/FDH, T0032/FDN, T0032/FDH, T0056/FDN, T0056/FDH,

T0082/FDN, T0082/FDH, F0140/NDN, F0140/NDH, F0140/FDN, F0140/FDH,

F0330/NDN, F0330/NDH, F0330/FDN, F0330/FDH, F0720/NDN, F0720/NDH,

F0760/NDN, F0760/NDH, F0915/NDN, F0915/NDH.

• 12Vdc only:

T0082/XFDN, F0330/XFDN, F0720/FDN, F0720/FDH, F0760/FDN,

F0915/NDN, F0915/NDH, F0915/FDN, F0915/FDH, F1340/NDN, F1340/NDH,

F1640/NDN, F1640/NDH.

(In case of intended connection of above models to a 24V system always use

a DC/DC 24V to 12V voltage converter of proper Ah capacity. Over voltages

can damage the electronics.)

The 12Vdc nominal value means a voltage, measured at the terminals of the

electronic of the compressor from 9,6Vdc to 17,0Vdc.

The 24Vdc nominal value means a voltage, measured at the terminals of the

electronic of the compressor from 21,3Vdc to 31,5Vdc.

dC ConneCtors, fridge side

On all units quality Anderson Power DC input connectors are used.

• single DC red AP connector: T0022/FDN, T0022/FDH, T0032/FDN, T0032/FDH:

• two AP connectors, one red and one yellow: all other models. The red AP

connector is for the DC cord connection (12-24Vdc or 12Vdc only, according to

specic model data); the yellow AP connector is 12Vdc only, for connection to

an external AC-DC power supply (see specic voice hereunder).

dC Cords

A proper DC cord is included in the package of each fridge. The wires of the

included DC cord are of the right cross section requested for a proper operation

of the electronic. To prevent voltage drops and power losses, do not interrupt the

cord and avoid additional extensions, switches, plugs or socket strips.

The direct connection to the + and – terminals of the battery of the vehicle will

not interfere with the electric and/or network system with the vehicle itself. The

electronic of the compressors are protected against reverse polarity. See technical

data sheet for indication of DC cord provided in the scope of delivery of specic

versions.

On T0022/FDN, T0022/FDH, T0032/FDN, T0032/FDH a 2,5 mt DC cord with

cigarette plug is included (item 540010/01), to allow an easy use also on board of

passenger cars.

The cigarette plug is provided with sliding stoppers to be pushed inside the

12V outlet of the car to maintain a stable electrical connection. In case a direct

connection to the battery of the vehicle would be preferred, the 5 meter DC cord

to order is item 540011/01.

IMPORTANT: The DC cord 540010/01 with cigarette plug cannot be used with

other models, wires (included ones of onboard 12V outlets) are not of right size and

Ah capacity.

direCt ConneCtion to adC battery

Connect the DC cord to the Coldtainer (red AP connectors) from one side and

directly to the + and – terminals of the battery from the other side (or to the 12V

outlet of the car, on applicable models).

The DC cords are fuse protected. Make sure that the fuse is in place. Also the DC

input connectors on the fridges are fuse protected. See technical data sheet for

fuse size.

optional - Use of the Coldtainer ConneCted to aC mains (100-240VaC 50/60 hz)

It is possible to operate your unit connected to the AC mains by the use of external

AC-DC power supplies of proper technical features, available as accessories. Three

models are available, with 150W, 300W and 600W rated power. Verify the right

model suggested for each model.

Note: the AC-DC power supplies are provided without the AC plug. It is

responsibility of the user to install a proper Country approved plug. Ask a qualied

personnel to do it.

The power supplies available as accessories have a worldwide input voltage (100-

240Vac 50/60Hz) and a constant 13Vdc output, are IP65 rated and CE and UL/CSA

certied. On the DC output line there is a yellow AP connector.

Connect the AC-DC power supply to the specic DC inlet (yellow AP connector)

on the fridge.

Both DC lines can be connected at same time. In this case the “yellow” line will

be the preferred power supply source. As soon as an internal relay will sense no

voltage coming from the “yellow” line it will reconnect the “red” line from battery.

On all models it is possible to fasten the power supplies in special receptacles

inside the silhouette of the containers (except T0022, T0032).

Note: T0022 and T0032 have a single red connector. To use that models with

the external 150W AC-DC power supply, a “red-yellow” connectors interface is

available as accessory.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, “AUTONOMOUS OPERATION” MODELS

The “Autonomous Operation” models are equipped as standard with internal

battery pack (single battery for the “Light Capacity” models, multiple battery pack

for the “High Capacity” models) and with a battery charger.

The “AuO” models are intended to operate fully independently, connected only

to their internal 12 power source. No connection to external DC power source is

provided. The internal battery protection will monitor the voltage of the battery

and eventually switch off the compressor.

ConneCtion to aC mains (100-240VaC 50/60 hz)

To recharge the internal battery pack, connect the battery charger to the AC mains

(100-240Vac 50/60Hz) and switch it on (by its own main switch). The battery will be

recharged with a proper charging curve.

With the battery charger connected to the AC mains and on it is possible at the

same time to operate the unit and to recharge the battery (with longer battery

charging time)
