Service Manual
SKOPE VF Series
2SKOPE CAREL ir33 Controller
Overview
The SKOPE electronic controller controls and displays the cabinet
temperature. The preset temperature setting controls internal air
temperature between -21°C and -18°C in integral freezers, and between
-12°C and -9°C in ice storage cabinets.
The electronic controller also signals temperature alarms, recording the
minimum and maximum value reached at the time of the alarm.
To ensure efficient operation, the electronic controller has a built in minimum
off cycle time of 5 minutes and features regular temperature terminated
defrost cycles. During the defrost cycle the compressor and evaporator fan
switch off.
The SKOPE electronic controller is a unique SKOPE customised Carel ir33
controller. This custom controller cannot be interchanged with a standard
Carel ir33 controller.
VF Series electronic controllers are pre-loaded with three different
parameter sets (BN1, BN2 and BN3) for use with VF Series cabinet
variations. Refer to “Parameters” on page 20 for more information.

Cycles
Defrost Cycle To ensure efficient operation, the electronic controller forces a defrost cycle
when required. During a defrost cycle, the compressor stops, DEF and the
will display on the electronic controller faceplate. The freezer will resume
normal operation once the defrost cycle has finished. A manual defrost can
also be initiated by pressing and holding the button.
Continuous
Cycle The continuous cycle can be used to pull down the temperature of product
inside the freezer quickly. During a continuous cool down the compressor
runs continuously for a set time.
To start a continuous cycle
To stop a continuous cycle
1. While the freezer is switched on and
running, press and hold the and
buttons for five seconds.
The symbol will display during a
continuous cycle.
1. The electronic controller will
automatically stop the continuous cycle
after a period of time.
The continuous cycle can be stopped
by pressing and holding the and
buttons for five seconds.

Temperature Probes
Three temperature probes feed data to the electronic controller - the control,
ambient and evaporator probes. Refer to page 73 for information on
servicing the probes.
Control Probe The control probe controls the freezertemperature and provides the freezer
temperature for the electronic controller to display.
Ambient Probe The ambient probe measures the temperature around the refrigeration unit
and activates the high ambient (HO) alarm if the temperature exceeds 40°C
(freezers) or 32°C (ice storage cabinets). Instances of high ambient alarm
activation are recorded and can be reviewed by accessing the parameters
and reviewing the AHO parameters (see page 20).
Evaporator
Probe The evaporator probe measures the evaporator coil temperature. The
evaporator coil temperature is used for evaporator fan operation (fan will
start when evaporator coil temperature drops to -8°C) and to stop the defrost
cycle (defrost cycle stops when evaporator temperature raises to +4.5°C).
Temperature
Probe Reading The temperature of each of the three temperature probes can be displayed
by pressing and holding both the and keys simultaneously for 5
seconds.
To display the temperature probe readings
Temperature probe readings
1. Press and hold both
the and keys simultaneously
for 5 seconds.
2. Press and hold the key to scroll the

Reset To delete program modifications and reset the controller to SKOPE default
program, to change the cabinet operational mode (e.g. change use from
freezer to ice storage cabinet), or when a replacement controller is being
fitted, a ‘Controller Reset’ must be performed.
To reset the controller
1. Disconnect the freezer from the power supply.
2. Press and hold the key while
plugging the freezer into the power
supply (this may require two people).
After a few seconds the controller is
reset and program mode ‘bn0’ is
displayed. The controller must never be
left in program mode ‘bn0’ as failure
will occur.
3. Press the or keys to select the
appropiate bn program (see page 17).
4. Immediately press the key to
confirm the preferred program. If not
confirmed within 60 seconds the
freezer will remain in program mode
‘bn0’ (and cause failure). If this occurs,
repeat the above procedure.
