Safety Information
When using any electrical appliance, safety precautions should always be observed.
Read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
• Do not insert fingers/foreign objects into any holes.
• Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the cabinet rating label.
• Ensure the appliance has adequate ventilation as this is essential to economical,
high performance.
• Be careful not to touch moving parts and hot surfaces.
• For your own safety and that of others, ensure that all electrical work is done by
authorised personnel.
• If the power supply flexible cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by an
authorised service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• If installing or removing the refrigeration unit, refer to the Installation Guidelines
below, and observe all necessary safety precautions.
• The appliance is not designed to be stable while in motion. Use extreme caution
when moving or transporting it.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant
in this appliance.
• If the cabinet is to be scrapped, ensure the cabinet is unplugged from the power
supply and cut off the mains flex close to the back of the cabinet. Be mindful of the
risk of animals or children becoming trapped in the appliance – either remove or
secure doors if necessary.
• Refrigerant must be removed by a qualified service person and the cabinet recycled/
disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Function
The SKOPE Remote Glass Chiller is designed to chill glasses. The chiller can hold three
standard 14” wide x 17” deep (355 mm x 432 mm) glass racks. The racks of glasses (not
included with the cabinet) are loaded from the front of the cabinet by opening the glass
door. The chilled glasses can then be accessed from the top of the cabinet after
removing the acrylic lid. For efficient operation of the chiller, the removable acrylic lid
should be replaced when not in use.
Caution
Disconnect the cabinet from the mains power supply before attempting any
cleaning or maintenance.

Controls
The chiller can be turned on and off using the power switch beside the electronic
controller. See “Electronic Controller” on page 8 for further control options.
Positioning the Cabinet
This appliance is intended to be positioned underneath a bench top, with a cutout in the
top to allow access to the removable lid on top of the chiller (see “Cabinet Dimensions”
on page 6).
Positioning the cabinet
• Avoid direct sunlight and warm draughts.
• Make sure normal operating conditions do not exceed 40°C at 65% relative
humidity.
• Allow adequate space in front of the cabinet for the door to open fully.
• Ensure the cabinet is positioned on a level surface so the door will shut and seal
correctly. The self-closing door has an internal torsion bar, pre-tensioned at the
factory, and should not require any further adjustment.
Installing the cabinet
• Do not overload the power supply. See the cabinet rating label for power supply and
current draw.
• This appliance is intended to be connected to a remote refrigeration system (see
“Refrigeration System Installation” on page 6).
• The chiller requires no additional ventilation around the cabinet.
Adjustable Legs
The four adjustable legs can adjust the cabinet height up to 30 mm. To adjust the height
of each leg, turn the black plastic foot at the bottom of the leg counter-clockwise to raise
the height or clockwise to lower the height of the cabinet.

Installation
SKOPE GC110r
Refrigeration Practice
Installation must be performed by a refrigeration tradesperson, to an appropriate
standard complying with all local regulations.
Performance depends on the overall installation (including condensing unit). Cabinet
suitability must always be quantified for the application. The final responsibility for
condensing unit performance and component selection rests with the installer. The
installer must check matters such as:
• Heat and refrigeration load
• Variable operating conditions (usage, ambient and humidity)
• Refrigeration pipe sizing and length (distance, elevation and pressure drop)
• Location and ventilation (cabinet and condensing unit)
• Drainage and power supply
• Evacuating the unit fully prior to charging
Drain
The cabinet is supplied with a 45 mm long, 3/4” (19 mm) O.D. evaporator drain spigot,
which exits out the bottom of the cabinet (see “Figure 2: Cabinet dimensions” on page 6
for dimensions). All drainage is to comply with local regulations, covering removal of
condensate to waste water. Ensure the cabinet is level and the drain has adequate fall.
Venting the drain may be required for a restrictive run.
Power Supply
The chiller is supplied with a 3.0 metre 10A flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug,
which exits the left hand side of the cabinet. The chiller can be turned off and on using
the power switch beside the electronic controller.
Refrigeration lines
A 1/4” liquid line and 3/8” suction line are provided to attach pipe lines to. The suction
line must be insulated.
The electronic controller supplied with the cabinet can switch a solenoid. No solenoid is
supplied with the standard remote unit. If a solenoid valve is fitted and controlled by the
electronic controller, the solenoid will need to be connected to the connector block
behind the cover attached to the left hand side of the cabinet (see “Figure 3:
Refrigeration Services” on page 7). Ensure the solenoid connection is accessible after
installation.
Operation
On initial start up, the evaporator fan and cabinet heater wire will not immediately
operate, as they are thermostatically controlled. The evaporator fan and cabinet heater
wire will only operate once the evaporator coil temperature reaches 10°C.

Electronic Controller
Controller Overview
Function
The electronic controller controls and displays the internal cabinet temperature. The
preset temperature setting controls the product temperature between 1°C and 5°C. The
controller also signals temperature alarms (see “Alarms” on page 10).
Operation
For general operation, the electronic controller requires no initial setup or additional
programming. To ensure efficient operation, the electronic controller forces 6 hourly
defrosts. During the defrost cycle, the compressor and condenser fan switch off and the
evaporator fan stays on.
Controller Display
Faceplate
Because the electronic controller plays such an important role, it’s helpful to know the
parts of the faceplate you may use.

Temperature Setpoint
The chiller temperature setpoint is factory set at 2.0°C. If necessary the standard setting
can be adjusted between 0.5°C and 4.5°C.
SKOPE does not recommend that the setpoint be changed unless it is absolutely
necessary, and then only by small increments at a time.
To view and adjust the temperature setpoint
Messages and Alarms
Controller Display
The following tables explain messages and alarms that the electronic controller displays.
Alarms signal unexpected operational changes in the chiller and can be muted by
pressing the Set (mute) button on the electronic controller faceplate (see page 8).
Messages
1. Press and hold the Set (mute) button for 3 seconds until PS
is shown on the display, indicating entry into the controller
settings menu.
1. Press the ES (up) or Light (down) button to scroll the menu
until St is shown on the display.
2. Press the Set (mute) button. The current setpoint value is shown on the display.
3. Press the up or down button to increase or decease the setpoint value to the
required temperature.
4. Press the Set (mute) button to temporarily save the setpoint value.
5. Press and hold the Set (mute) button for 3 seconds to permanently save the
setpoint value and exit the controller settings menu.
Display Description
The chiller is in Normal mode and the electronic controller displays the chiller temperature.
The chiller’s internal temperature is above 13°C.
The chiller is in Cold Climate Protection (CCP) mode. The chiller enters CCP mode if the control probe detects the
interior temperature is below parameter St - CCt temperature for more than CCd time. The lights remain on and cannot
be switched off (see over page for more information).
