1.5 Unit functions
1.5.1 Cooling
The unit is equipped with a cooling machine with interior evapo-
rator for cooling chilled goods.
After initial commissioning or recommissioning, the cooling
machine takes a while to cool the interior down to the set target
temperature value.
With circulation cooling, the air circulates around the interior of the
refrigerator. Circulation cooling is performed by means of ventila-
tion plates and a fan.
Circulation cooling reduces physically induced temperature differ-
ences and the target temperature is kept constant throughout the
interior.
Cooling machine
Circulation cooling
Product description
Unit functions > Cooling
26.05.2021 Refrigerator/freezer BL series 15

Circulation cooling is set to continuous operation and is switched
off automatically when the door is opened.
The condenser transfers the generated thermal energy to the
ambient air.
Depending on the model, the condenser is fitted
either on the back wall or in the machine room.
1.5.2 Defrosting
The unit defrosts automatically every 12 hours.
Automatic defrosting is time and temperature-controlled.
During automatic defrosting, the system ensures that the unit main-
tains the target temperature value.
Melt water is conducted into the exterior melt water container and
evaporates there.
When the defrosting process is active, the “Defrosting” LED dis-
play lights up on the Display.
In addition to automatic defrosting, it is possible to start the
defrosting process manually.
Press button [Additional defrosting] for four seconds.
ðThe defrosting process begins.

1.5.3 Temperature display
The temperature is shown on the Display of the unit’s display and
control unit Ä Chapter 1.2 “Display and control elements”
on page 12.
The Display indicates the temperature of the chilled goods.
The temperature display does not indicate the cur-
rent air temperature of the interior.
The alarm function and the temperature warning limits are based
on the temperature of the chilled goods as shown on the Display.
1.5.4 Temperature memory
The temperature memory records the maximum and minimum tem-
perature values reached during operation.
The temperature memory begins recording when the target tem-
perature is reached or, at the latest, after two hours of operation.
The temperature memory is reset automatically when the unit is
restarted or reset.
The temperature memory can be retrieved and erased manually
Ä Chapter 7.3 “Retrieving/erasing the temperature memory”
on page 50.
1.5.5 Temperature monitoring with PC-KIT-STICK
The temperature memory of the unit documents the maximum and
minimum temperature values.
PC-KIT-STICK is the easiest method of automatic temperature
documentation.
The data transfer is performed via a USB flash drive. Even while
the data are read out, the temperatures is constantly documented.
An unlimited number of units can be incorporated Ä “Interfaces”
on page 15.
For constant temperature monitoring, the unit can be equipped with
temperature documentation via the network Ä Chapter 1.7.1 “Tem-
perature documentation” on page 19.

1.5.6 Temperature sensor
The unit is equipped with multiple temperature sensors.
For the functions of the respective temperature sensors, see the
following table:
Colour Description Function
Evaporator sensor
(red) Controls the defrosting phase
Control sensor
(brown) Controls the monitoring unit
Control sensor
(violet) Controls the monitoring unit
1.6 Battery
The battery powers the temperature monitoring for up to 30 hours
in the event of a power failure.
Temperature monitoring ensures that the temperature progression
is stored and the temperature alarm is triggered if necessary.
The battery charges during normal operation and is monitored by
an automatic charging system.
Technical data for the battery:
n6 V, 4 Ah
The battery does not supply the unit!
The battery only provides power to the tempera-
ture monitoring. The battery does not provide a
back-up to the unit and therefore ensure that the
interior temperature is maintained.
1.7 Additional unit components
The unit is equipped with standard equipment.
The standard equipment can be supplemented with additional unit
components.
The following additional components are available for the unit:
nTemperature documentation via the network
nInterior lighting
