Running the Chiller
Operating
Modes The electronic controller will automatically switch the chiller between ‘Day’
and ‘Night’ modes depending on use, and into Cold Climate Protection
(CCP) mode if necessary (see “Cold Climate Protection” on page 10).
If the front door (on the electronic controller side) is not opened for four
hours, the chiller will automatically enter ‘Night’ mode and the sign and
interior lights will switch off. To manually switch the chiller between ‘Day’ and
‘Night’ modes, press and hold the Day - Night button on the electronic
controller faceplate. The chiller can also be bought into ‘Day’ mode by
opening the front door (electronic controller side).
Compressor The compressor cycles on and off during ‘Day’ and ‘Night’ modes. It does
not run when the chiller is in defrost mode or when the chiller is in CCP
mode. If the electronic controller displays ‘Err’ there is a fault within the
refrigeration system and the compressor will not run.
Evaporator
Fan The evaporator fan starts a few minutes after the chiller is turned on and runs
continuously during normal operation defrost and CCP mode, and stops
when the front door is open or if the electronic controller displays ‘Err’
indicating a fault within the refrigeration system.
Condenser
Fan The condenser fan runs continuously when the chiller is on except if the
electronic controller displays ‘Err’, indicating a fault within the refrigeration
system.
Temperature
Probes Two temperature probes feed data to the electronic controller – the control
probe and the evaporator probe. The control probe controls the chiller
temperature, provides the chiller temperature for the electronic controller to
display, and notifies the electronic controller of any erratic or abnormal
temperatures that could identify a problem within the refrigeration system.
The evaporator probe controls the refrigeration system defrost initiation and
termination.
Door Switch The chiller is fitted with a door switch below the front door (electronic
controller side). A small magnet in the door frame activates the switch. The
door switch tells the electronic controller to turn off the evaporator fan motor
(i.e. if the door is opened) during normal run operation, to initiate ‘Night’
mode if the door is not opened for four hours, and to reactivate ‘Day’ mode
if the door is opened during night mode.
Defrost Cycle The defrost cycle will begin after three hours of cumulative compressor run
time or during No-Downward Tendency Protection (see “No-downward
Tendency Protection” on page 10). During the defrost cycle the compressor
stops and the evaporator fan runs continuously. The defrost cycle will
terminate (stop) when the evaporator probe reaches 6°C or after the defrost
cycle has been running for 60 minutes.
Lighting The chiller is fitted with top and bottom sign lights, and interior pillar lights.
The lights will come on when the chiller is first plugged in. When in ‘Day’
mode the sign and interior lights are on. When in ‘Night’ mode the sign and
interior lights are off. Press the Light button on the electronic controller
faceplate to switch the sign and interior lights on and off manually. The lights
will remain on and cannot be switched off when the chiller is in CCP mode.
