Removing Case From Shipping Skid
CAUTION: If a Johnson bar or pry bar is used to move the case, make certain that
the case is lifted under the welded steel frame, and not by the end panels of the case.
Damage to the ends will result from lifting under the end panels.
Move the case as near as possible to the final location before removing it from the
shipping skid. Having removed the front and rear compressor compartment grills. Remove
the (three or four sets of bolts, nuts, and washers depending on case size) that secure the
case to the shipping skid. Discard these bolts, nuts, and washers.
Removing Packaging Material
Remove bubble wrap and packing material for all shelves, etc. If it is
necessary to remove tape residue from various materials, use cleaning
compounds recommended in the cleaning section of this manual.
Leveling the Case
The case must be level for proper drainage of defrost water to the condensate
evaporator or condensate pump.
Check the level of the case along the front rail and along the top of the display pan.
Shim under the case frame as needed to level the case. It is recommended that the
leveled case be sealed to the floor with an NSF Listed Sealant.
Condensate Evaporator
NOTICE: Steam from the condensate evaporator may be visible around the
base of the merchandiser during normal operation.
This merchandiser may be furnished with an electric condensate evaporator, or a
electric condensate pump. Plumbing connections are not required, unless
merchandiser is specifically ordered without a condensate evaporator or pump.
The condensate evaporator can be removed from the merchandiser and the
condensate drain can be plumbed to a external drain to conserve energy. To remove
the condensate evaporator, disconnect the wires at the condensate evaporator. This
must be done by a qualified electrician.
This is an open merchandiser and can produce a large amount of condensate water.
To ensure that adequate evaporator capacity is available, a high wattage heater is
used.
Make sure that the condensate drain line has not been dislodged during shipment and
that the drain trap terminates properly over the water reservoir.

system are back-seated when the unit leaves the factory.
-RSSL cases are designed to operate at 40º to 41º F. under ambient conditions not to
exceed 75º F. and 55% relative humidity.
-Nearly all open refrigerated merchandisers operate better when loaded with product
than when empty. If a check is made of the case operating temperatures, perform this
check with product in the case.
-Open refrigerated merchandisers are not intended as storage refrigerators and will not
“pull down” room temperature products efficiently. Load case interior with pre-chilled
product only.
Light Switch And Lights
The light switch is located in the ceiling. This switch operates the interior lights only. If
optional shelf lights are installed, they are also controlled by this switch.
Led Light Replacement
The light is attached to the shelf with plastic spring clips. To remove a light, un plug cord
from end of bulb and pull down.
When replacing lights, use direct equivalents to the original bulbs.

Powering on control
To turn refrigeration control power on, press and hold for approx. three seconds. The
display will read “On” while the button is depressed. When the control powers on, the display
will read the current set point (a number “1” thru “9” ). The compressor run indicator will
illuminate on the display, meaning that the compressor is running. (Note: the control may
already be in the on mode when shipped from factory).
To turn refrigeration control power to off, press and hold for approx. three seconds. The
display will read “Off” while the button is depressed. When the control powers off the display
will flash back and forth between the relative current case temperature and “Off”. The
compressor run indicator will be off on the display. When refrigeration control is in the off-
mode cabinet lights and evaporator fans will still operate, but the compressor will not turn on
causing the case to gradually reach room temperature.

Adjusting the set point
The set point is what determines how cold the display case will hold food and beverage. To
adjust the set point press and hold the button approx. three seconds until the display
begins to flash a number. Then press the use the button to scroll number up (colder) or
press the button to scroll number lower (warmer). There are nine (9) available set points
numbers, the higher the number of the set point, the colder the display case will run, with
setting “9” being the coldest and setting “1” being the warmest. Once you have chosen your
desired setting press the button again to confirm your choice.
Entering manual defrost mode
The control is programmed to automatically initiate a defrost by two different methods,
involving time and temperature, as outlined in the “Defrost Cycle” section (Pg. Error!
Bookmark not defined.) of “ELECTRONIC CONTROL PARAMETERS AND EXPLANATION
OF OPERATION.” While it is uncommon that the automatic defrost cycles would insufficiently
defrost the case, a Manual Defrost mode is available if this situation arises. Note: The control
will not allow the initiation of a manual defrost within 30 minutes of completion of another
defrost cycle, manual or automatic.
To initiate a manual defrost press and hold the button approx. three seconds. The control
will read “dEF” while the button is being held. The defrost is initiated when the defrost mode
indicator illuminates on the display. The control display will then return to reading the case
temperature. When the defrost mode indicator turns off the defrost is complete and the
compressor will turn back on illuminating the compressor run indicator .
Refrigerated Self-Serve Merchandiser (High Profile) Page 9

Error codes
It is possible for error codes to be displayed on the control screen. In the event of a malfunction an alarm
will sound and the alarm indicator will be displayed on the display. An error code or codes will flash
intermittently on the display. If there are multiple codes, the display will continuously cycle through
them. The following photo shows error code “E0” as an example.
Mute: You may mute the alarm by pressing and releasing the wrench button. The red ringing bell and all
error codes will still be displayed. When the fault is remedied the control will return to normal operation

CONTROL OPERATION
Electronic Control
This unit is equipped with an electronic temperature control. The control parameters are set at
the factory and cannot be manually changed in the field. Control parameter changes can only
be made by downloading a new set of parameters using a program chip supplied by Federal
Industries. The pre-set control parameters are listed on the chart in the Settings Chart below.
Operation
The control uses two sensors, one located in the air stream and one located on the evaporator
coil. The sensor located in the air stream is referred to as the temperature control sensor. The
sensor located on the evaporator coil is referred to as the coil sensor.
The temperature control sensor is located inside the top air duct behind the honeycomb
material and is labeled (TEMP). The sensor location is critical for proper operation on the unit.
Do not move or relocate this sensor.
The coil sensor is strapped to the evaporator coil and is labeled (DEFROST). This sensor
location is critical for proper operation of the unit. Do not move or relocate this sensor.

Refrigerated Self-Serve Merchandiser (High Profile) Page 11

Defrost Cycle
The electronic control is programmed to initiate defrost by two different methods. There are (3)
programmed defrost cycles in the control which will initiate a defrost cycle every 8 hours. The unit does
not have a time clock so the defrost cycles cannot be set for any specific time of day.
The electronic controller uses time to initiate the defrost cycle, and temperature to terminate the defrost
cycle. The controller also has an ‘On demand’ defrost feature that will initiate a defrost cycle when the
temperature differential between the evaporator temperature and the air temperature is more than 15
degrees for 5 minutes after 30 minutes into the refrigeration cycle.
Control Factory Settings
The control parameters are set at the factory and cannot be manually changed in the field. Control
parameter changes can only be made by downloading a new set of parameters using a program chip

Control Display
The control display is located in the unit base. It is programmed to display the current set point
associated with the control sensor located inside the air duct at the top of the case.
Minimum Run Timer Feature
The unit controller is programmed to have the condensing unit run a minimum of 5 minutes,
regardless of the control temp being satisfied. If the temperature control reaches the cut out
set point before 5 minutes, the minimum run time setting in the control will keep the unit in a
run cycle mode until the timer reaches 5 minutes. The refrigeration cycle will be off until the
temperature control cut in temperature is reached.
This timer typically comes into effect in low ambient conditions where the unit may cycle too
frequently to maintain proper product temperature.
Maximum Run Timer Feature
The unit controller is programmed to have the condensing unit run a maximum of 60 minutes.
If the unit has not reached cut out temperature setting in 60 minutes, the unit goes into on off
cycle. This typically comes into effect in high ambient temperature and relative humidity
conditions.

The self-contained models are shipped from the factory with a completely operational 404A
refrigeration system and require no modifications or adjustments upon installation. Case must
be installed as per the installation section of this manual to provide proper condensing air
cooling.
Self-Contained Refrigeration Operation
The unit temperature is controlled by the Electronic control outlined in the control section of
this manual.
Note: The condenser fan is factory wired to run continuously.
Dual Pressure Control (Self-Contained Models Only)
The dual pressure control is used as a safety device and is factory set. The pressure
control works on a differential. The low-pressure side is a safety to protect the
compressor in the case of refrigerant loss. The high-pressure side is a safety to protect
from system failure causing too high of system pressure.
The high side of the pressure control is factory set to 400psi and is not adjustable.
Low side setting for the R404a cases are set at 40psi differential for the cutout and
60psi for the cut-in.
Refrigerated Self-Serve Merchandiser (High Profile) Page 13

Remote Operation
Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) After 1/20
A traditional TXV uses springs and a temperature bulb to open and close a valve port that controls the
flow of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil. An electronic expansion valve (EEV) controls the
refrigerant flow much more precisely, increasing the performance and efficiency of the refrigeration
system. The EEV controls the flow of Refrigerant by opening and closing the valve port based on the
response to signals sent to the EEV by an electronic controller. The electronic Control bases these
signals by processing information provided from a temperature sensor and pressure transducer located
on the discharge side of the evaporator coil.
These sensors monitor the evaporator superheat and protects the compressor from any liquid flood back
under low superheat conditions.
EEV Controller Settings
The electronic expansion valve controller also allows the use of different types of refrigerants without the
need to change the expansion valve.
The controller is set from the factory to run on R449a refrigerant and will not need any changes to the
control unless another refrigerant is used.
Note: Check your State and Local regulations for approved refrigerants for your install location.
Federal Industries is not liable for any alternate refrigerants used.
The control is located on the base floor on the left-hand side front view .
Note: Never change any of the other setting other than the refrigerant type. It may also be
necessary to change the superheat setting only when using a different refrigerant.
Changing Refrigerant
•Access the set point mode by pressing and holding the button until Ctl displays on the screen.
•Use the up or down arrows to advance through the available set points until rFG displays
on the screen and press the botton.
•Use the up or down arrows until the desired refrigeration displays on the screen and press
and hold the button until rFG once again displays on the screen.
•Press the to return to escape the settings menue.

The remote models are designed to use 449A refrigerant and shipped from the factory with the
evaporator coil, expansion valve, and refrigerant solenoid valve. Filter Drier must be installed in the
field. The electronic control runs identical to the Self-Contained models except the electronic control
opens and closes a refrigeration solenoid valve located on the liquid line instead of turning on and off a
compressor. The solenoid valve closes and shuts off the refrigeration flow to the unit and initiates a
pump down cycle. This will allow the remote low-pressure switch at the condensing unit to open and
shut off the remote compressor.
The condensing unit and pressure controls may be supplied from the factory for remote location
installation. The condensing unit must be mounted and wired by the installer. The high low-pressure
switch must be wired in series with the compressor power supply as shown in wiring diagram below.
1. Mount condensing unit as close to the remote display case as practical. The refrigeration line should
be as short as possible and should not exceed 100 feet.
2. Refrigeration parts between condensing unit and case are typically supplied by installing contractor.
3. Route properly sized and designed refrigeration lines from the condensing unit to the cabinet.
Horizontal suction lines should be pitched downward towards the condensing unit at least ½” per 10’
run to aid the oil drainage. A “P”trap must be installed in the suction line at the foot of every riser to
insure oil return. Dry nitrogen should be used through tubing while brazing refrigeration lines.
4. Suction line must be insulated the entire length with Armaflex (or equivalent). Do not run liquid line
inside insulation with suction line.
5. If remote control is not supplied by Federal Industries, the remote high/low-pressure control must be
mounted, wired and pressures set by the installer.
6. Leak check condensing unit, cabinet, and all connecting tubing. Cabinet and condensing unit tubing
should be checked to insure no leaks occurred during shipping or from rough handling. Make
certain all refrigeration valves are opened and evacuate system to 500 microns. Charge the system
with refrigerant type specified on the data plates.
