LIABILITY NOTICE
For Cases with Shelf Lighting Systems
Hillphoenix does NOT design any of its shelf lighting systems or any of its display cases with shelf lighting
systems for direct or indirect exposure to water or other liquids. The use of a misting system or water hose
on a display case with a shelf lighting system, resulting in the direct or indirect exposure of the lighting
system to water, can lead to a number of serious issues (including, without limitation, electrical failures, re,
electric shock, and mold) in turn resulting in personal injury, death, sickness, and/or serious property dam-
age (including, without limitation, to the display itself, to the location where the display is situated [e.g.,
store] and to any surrounding property). DO NOT use misting systems, water hoses or other devices that
spray liquids in Hillphoenix display cases with lighted shelves.
If a misting system or water hose is installed or used on a display case with a shelf lighting system, then Hill-
phoenix shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities (whether arising out of breach of contract, war-
ranty, tort [including negligence], strict liability or other theories of law) directly or indirectly resulting from,
arising out of or related to such installation or use, including, without limitation, any personal injury, death
or property damage resulting from an electrical failure, re, electric shock, or mold.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This manual covers general installation and operational
information for the Ecoblade Shelf-Edge Technology.
Hillphoenix recommends you retain a copy for future
reference.
STORE CONDITIONS
Hillphoenix cases are designed to operate in an air-
conditioned store that maintains a 75°F (24°C) store
temperature and 55% (max) relative humidity (ASHRAE
conditions). Case operation will be adversely affected by
exposure to excessively high ambient temperatures and/or
humidity.
RECEIVING ECOBLADE
Inspect Ecoblade assemblies carefully. In the event of shipping
damage and/or shortages, please contact the Service Parts
Department at the number listed below.
ECOBLADE DAMAGE
Claims for obvious damage must be 1) noted on either the
freight bill or the express receipt and 2) signed by the carrier's
agent; otherwise, the carrier may refuse the claim. If damage
becomes apparent after the equipment is unpacked, retain all
packing materials and submit a written request to the carrier
for inspection within 14 days of receipt of the equipment.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in refusal by the
carrier to honor any claims with a consequent loss to the
consumer.
If a UPS shipment has been damaged, retain the damaged
material, the carton and notify us at once. We will file a claim.
LOST/MISSING ITEMS
Ecoblade assemblies are carefully inspected to insure the
highest level of quality. Any claim for lost/missing items must
be made to Hillphoenix within 48 hours of receipt of the

HOW IT WORKS
Ecoblade uses a patented twin blade conguration which
has been optimized in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
software programs and validation testing to capture the air
turbulence in front of the shelf and direct it in a fashion as to
keep the cold air near the product and within the case thus
resulting in colder merchandise and warmer aisles. And since
the air returning to the evaporator coil is colder, the evaporator
(refrigeration) does not have to work as hard to keep the case
cold, thus resulting in energy savings up to 33%. Maximized
savings occurs when the Ecoblade is inline with the load limit
line of the case.
WHAT IS ECOBLADE?
Ecoblade is a shelf-edge technology that manages air
turbulence between the discharge air and return air vents on
an open multi-deck case for purposes of improving product
temperatures and energy savings. Ecoblade is a cost-eective
alternate solution to putting doors on medium-temp cases.
ECOBLADE TM SHELFEDGE TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
WHAT ARE THE ECOBLADE OPTIONS?
Case Models that accept Ecoblade:
LENGTh:Ecoblade is available in 2 lengths – 48”(4') or 36” (3’)
COLOR:Ecoblade is available in typical interior colors, White or
Black. For best aesthetic results, Ecoblade should be ordered
with color matching case interior. The tag molding feature on
the outer blade is co-extruded with the backing being available
to match interior colors, Black or White.
ShELF CONFIGuRATIONS: Ecoblade is available with at shelves or
angled shelves (must be 15-17° angled). The shelf orientation
must be known prior to ordering the shelves as the angle of the
ecoblade is not adjustable; there are 2 unique SKUs for at and
angled positions.
FACTORy FIT OR FIELd RETROFIT:Ecoblade is designed for either
mounting to the shelves from the factory (most aesthetically
pleasing design) or it is available as a stand-alone component
that can be mounted to existing shelves in the eld. The eld
install is compatible with shelves that have either standard 11/4
inch tag molding (TM) or standard slotted 11/4inch tag
molding on at or angled shelves.
The eld install has 3 unique SKUs:
• Flat shelf w/ STD TM
3

• Flat shelf w/ Slotted TM
• Angled Shelf w/ Slotted TM

PROduCT STOP: Ecoblade is compatible with solid Plexi
product stops or wire fence style product stops. It should be
noted that the product stops used in standard slotted tag
molding is not compatible with Ecoblade and special
product stops must be ordered.
TAG MOLdING: Tag molding is available on the outer blade for
managing store shelf labels. It is designed to be inserted
from the top. The height of the 17/16 inches.

Ecoblade shelves install basically the same way as any
other shelf. For retrot installations, simply remove the
exisiting shelves and replace them with the Ecoblade
shelves.
Installer retrotting an Ecoblade shelf to an existing case.
Ecoblade shelves can be installed by just one person, as
with any other shelf. Some installers may nd it helpful
however, to have two people handle the shelves so as to
keep from bending or damaging the blades. An extra
person also typically makes the process go quicker
especially on retrots since the slots on the rear panels of
exsiting cases may not always be properly aligned due to
normal wear from use.
Two people usually can install Ecoblade shelves on retrots more quickly.
INSTALLATION ANd OPERATION
On applications with shelf-mounted lighting, plug the
attached lighting into the receptacle on the rear panel
of the case as you would with any other shelf-mounted
lighting.

A best practice for installing retrots is to take a picture of
the merchandised exitisting shelves before unloading
them prior to their removal. This way, when it’s time to
restock after the Ecoblade shelves have been installed,
the merchandise can be replaced in exactly the same
locations as it was before.
Taking a picture of the existing shelf merchandising before unloading the
product is a best practice.

Ecoblade retrots install on existing shelves by attaching
them to the edge of the shelf with the tightening screws
at the bottom of each Ecoblade arm. Swivel the lower
portion of the arm before completely tightening it to the
shelf in order to get the proper alignment.

Warning
Maintenance & Shelf Care
When cleaning shelves the following must be performed PRIOR
to cleaning:
To avoid electrical shock, be sure all electric power to shelf light-
ing is turned off before cleaning. In some installations, more
than one switch may have to be turned off to completely de-
energize the lights.
Do not spray cleaning solution or water directly on lights or any
electrical connections.
All lighting receptacles must be dried off prior to insertion and
re-energizing the lighting circuit.
Please refer to the Use and Maintenance section of this installation manual.
