SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 Introduction
The 8500 Series Forma Scientific non-CFC, Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers
feature front-to-back air circulation for cooler compressor temperatures, increased
performance and reliability and longer compressor life. In this unique system, ambient
air enters the front grill of the freezer and passes through the filter, condenser and
compressor housing, exiting out of the rear of the unit.
An enlarged condenser and two cooling fans contribute to better efficiency, even in
high ambient conditions. Oversize condensers also help extend compressor life.
Cleaning the air filter and condenser fins is done from the front of the unit.
Other important features of the Forma Scientific 8500 Series Freezers are:
a. Enviro-Scan Microprocessor Monitoring System
Enviro-Scan uses a digital display, audible and visual indicators and a touch
sensitive key pad to provide total control of all freezer functions. The module digitally
displays chamber temperature and control setpoint, to the nearest degree C. High and
low alarm set points are easily programmed. A back-up battery system supplies power to
the monitoring system during electrical outages.
An RS-232 port provides a computer interface and monitoring of temperatures and
alarms. A remote alarm connector is also a standard feature.
b. Non-CFC, non-HCFC and non-Flammable Refrigerants
Committed to a safer, healthier environment, Forma Scientific has phased out the
use of ozone depleting CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) in all of the company's refrigerated
products. Forma also uses non-CFC foamed-in-place urethane insulation and all
packaging used in shipping are non-CFC.
c. Peak Control System
Due to the increased demands on today's refrigeration systems, Forma Scientific has
engineered a compressor protection system called PEAK Control. In this system, a
pressure switch senses excessive compressor discharge pressure. When the discharge
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Forma Scientific, Inc.
2-2
pressure exceeds the design limit, a solenoid valve opens allowing refrigerant to enter
an expansion tank.
The refrigerant returns to the system through a capillary tube. The PEAK Control
System continues to monitor system pressures, insuring they stay within design limits to
help extend compressor life.
d. "Smart" Condenser Fans
For maximum compressor protection, all Forma ULT freezers include two tube
axial fans in the compressor housing. When both compressors are running, both fans
operate to pull ambient air through the condenser and over the compressors. When both
compressors are off, one fan remains ready to cycle on when the thermostat senses a
temperature rise above 32°C.
e. Built-In Automatic Voltage Compensation
A built-in, automatic voltage compensator is built into every Forma 8500 Series
non-CFC ultra-low temperature freezer to detect and respond to high or low voltage
situations. A light on the front of the control panel indicates when incoming voltage is
being corrected.
2.2 Unpacking List
A small bag containing the following accessories is packed inside the freezer:
Qty. Stock # Description Purpose
2 510016 1/4-20 x 5-1/2" Bolt Wall Bumper
2 380520 Neoprene Cap Cap Protector
2.3 Installing the Wall Bumpers
The parts bag contains two (2) 1/4-20 x 5-1/2" bumper bolts and two (2) neoprene
caps. Install the bolts (the holes are pre-tapped) on the back side of the compressor
section. Install a neoprene cap on each bolt.
If the bumpers are removed, they must be reinstalled before the freezer is placed in
the desired location to insure adequate ventilation and air flow for the compressor.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Forma Scientific, Inc.
2-3
For proper ventilation and air flow, a minimum of 5" of
clear space is required behind the freezer. An additional 5"
(minimum) of clear space is also required on both sides of the
freezer. When locating the back of the freezer toward a wall or
obstacle(s), make sure that the wall bumpers are installed.
2.4 Moving the Model 8523 through a Doorway
To move the Model 8523 through a 34.5” doorway, the door stop bracket(s) must
be removed. The single door units have one door stop at the top right side of the unit.
Double door units have a second door stop at the bottom right side of the unit. Using a
7/16 socket wrench, remove the two screws securing each bracket. This permits the door
(s) to be fully opened so that the freezer can be moved through the doorway.
Remove the door stop bracket only. Removing hinge screws will
weaken the door, or cause it to fall, resulting in injury to personnel
and/or damage the freezer.
2.5 Location
Locate the freezer on a firm, level surface in an area of minimum ambient
temperature fluctuation.
2.6 Connecting Power to the Freezer
Forma Scientific, Inc. recommends that the freezer be operated on a dedicated
electrical circuit to avoid circuit overload .
Before connecting the freezer to an adequate power source, refer to the electrical
data plate mounted on the back of the unit or to the electrical specifications listed in
Section 8.
2.7 Deactivating the Enviro-Scan Monitor for Storage
The Enviro-Scan Monitor has been deactivated (placed in a sleep mode) prior to
shipment. The monitor re-activates when power is applied to the freezer. If electrical
power is lost or the freezer is disconnected, the monitor will be sustained by the battery
back-up.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Forma Scientific, Inc.

Whenever the freezer is unplugged for storage, the "Enviro-Scan" must be de-
activated to preserve the life of the battery and preserve the warranty.
1. Turn off the freezer.
2. Obtain the access code prompt by pressing the Up Arrow key and the Battery %
Charge key simultaneously. A "1" must appear in the display window. If a "1" does
not appear in the window, press the keys again.
3. Enter the four digit access code and press Enter. (The Access Code set at the
factory is 1,2,3,4. To change the Access Code refer to Section 5.4.)
4. "CAL" will appear in the window.
5. Press the Down Arrow key.
The Enviro-Scan monitor is now deactivated (placed in a sleep mode) until
electrical power is restored.
2.8 RS-232 Output Interface
Forma 8500 series freezers are equipped with an RS-232 Serial Communication
Interface for the remote transmission of sensor data. A standard DB-25S connector is
located on the rear of the compressor housing. The data is "dumb printer" formatted to
interface with either a computer or a serial printer.
Three wires are used for the RS-232 interface: TX Data = Pin 2
RX Data = Pin 3
Signal Ground = Pin 7
The data format is seven-bit ASCII with a leading zero (8th bit). Each character is
transmitted with one start-bit, eight data-bits, and two stop-bits, totaling eleven bits. NO
parity-bit is included. Baud rate is 1200.
A data transfer sequence is transmitted according to the following format. X refers
to the variable numerical temperature data.
(NUL) (-) XXX (SP) C (SP) (OVERTEMP) (SP) (LF) (CR) (EOT) (SP) (UNDER TEMP )
The words "OVERTEMP" or "UNDER TEMP" are transmitted with the temperature
if one of those conditions exists at the time the data is transmitted. When there is no
alarm condition, spaces will be sent instead so that there is always a total of 20
characters.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Forma Scientific, Inc.
2-5
SP - space
LF - line feed
CR - carriage return
EOT - end of text
NUL - null character (00)
The Enviro-Scan Monitor transmits temperature and alarm condition data
when power is first applied to the Monitor and then once every hour.
The Enviro-Scan Monitor responds to two ASCII commands from the remote:
DC1 (XON) and DC3 (XOFF)
DC1 (11H): The Enviro-Scan Monitor will transmit temperature and alarm
condition data upon receipt of DC1 and resume 60 minute interval transmissions if they
had been inhibited by a DC3.
DC3 (13H): Receiving a DC3 from the remote inhibits the Enviro-Scan Monitor
from sending serial data indefinitely until a DC1 is received or Monitor power is
removed and then reapplied.
Figure 2-1 identifies the location of the RS-232 output connector.
