SKOPE ProSpec Upright Series
Servicing Hydrocarbon
Service Manual
1 Servicing Hydrocarbon
Overview
This cabinet uses hydrocarbon (HC) R290 as its refrigerant. R290 is a natural refrigerant that
has a very low environmental impact.
Special service requirements are needed, as R290 is a flammable refrigerant.
Safety hazards
The main hydrocarbon safety hazards are:
• Flammability
• Venting of hydrocarbon and compressor oil
• Asphyxiation
Service requirements
Do not interfere with the refrigeration system. All refrigeration maintenance and repairs must
be undertaken according to the SKOPE HC Service Requirements. See the “SKOPE HC
Service Requirements” below for more information, including examples of hazardous
activities.
Electrical safety precautions
Correct wiring routing is as important as using correct components for compliance with safety
and radio interference regulations. In order to maintain safety and compliance with regulations,
any wiring that is disturbed during servicing must be replaced and secured in its original
position.

6Servicing Hydrocarbon
Service Manual
SKOPE ProSpec Upright Series
SKOPE Hydrocarbon Service Requirements
Servicing must only be performed by approved SKOPE Service Technicians, and must meet all requirements in the
SKOPE Hydrocarbon Service Policy (available from SKOPE), including the following:
Hydrocarbon work – SKOPE Service Policy
It is the responsibility of the service technician to follow SKOPE’s Hydrocarbon equipment service policy
and by accepting a service work order they agree to the following (where applicable):
xMUST – Ensure all workers are trained in the SAFETY of hydrocarbon products to the appropriate
level for the work required.
xMUST – Follow all Local Safety Regulations relevant to flammable refrigerant gases.
oAustralia should reference - AIRAH Flammable Refrigerants – Safety Guide
oNew Zealand should reference – Flammable Refrigerant Safety Documentation
(Refrigerant License NZ)
xMUST – Adhere to all on-site (workplace) Health and Safety requirements
xMUST – Not modify or alter the design of SKOPE equipment in any way
xMUST – In cases where the refrigeration system is not readily removable from the cabinet; then the
entire cabinet MUST be sent to the Hydrocarbon workshop for repair.
xMUST – ONLY use SKOPE OEM Spare Parts; or identical replacement parts. Any variation in
replacement part may render the system non-compliant and unsafe.
xMUST – Follow all best practice work activities for servicing hydrocarbon refrigerants (SKOPE
recommend attending specific hydrocarbon refrigeration handling training courses). Nitrogen must
be used for purging system before commencing “Hot Work” – brazing.
xMUST – Adhere to relevant SKOPE Service Manual. If any contradiction, the local Regulations take
precedence over SKOPE requirements
xMUST – Work only in suitable, safe and compliant work spaces. Personal Protective Equipment
must always be used when working on Hydrocarbon equipment.
xMUST – Service people diagnosing refrigeration faults must always carry and utilise Flammable Gas
detectors when working on Hydrocarbon equipment.
xMUST – Prior to any service work; know where and how to safely and quickly isolate power supply
to cabinet
xMUST – Not perform any Hot Work (brazing etc.) in the field. These are to be completed in a suitable
service depot / workshop (in a dedicated specific Hazardous Work Area compliant to local
flammable gas regulations)
xMUST – Not transport a refrigeration system with a known active leak. If there is an active leak the
refrigerant must be safely removed (with use of Bullet Piercing Valve or Line Tap valves) before
transporting. Valves must be removed at the hydrocarbon service depot once repair is completed.
xMUST – All hydrocarbon workshop areas must have emergency plans; that includes suitable
evacuation and fire control plans and equipment.
xMUST – Only use refrigerant grade hydrocarbon, to precise mass specified on removable
refrigeration system serial label.
xMUST – Be accurate refrigerant charge; The refrigerant mass is ultra-low charge and must only be
measured in by accurate scales to +/- 1.0gram. Refrigerant MUST not be overcharged; or added to
an already charged system.
xMUST – Use identical drier replacement; as any change will affect gas charge volume; and effect
reliability compliance and safety.
xMUST – Any pipework replacement, must be identical to genuine SKOPE parts.
xMUST – Not introduce a sparking device inside a cabinet or inside a removable refrigeration system.
Battery drills should not be used.
xMUST – Not perform any activity that could stress a refrigeration pipe (unless in a workshop).
xMUST – Get customer authorisation to permanently swap a removable refrigeration system.
xMUST – Have the Wellington Drive SCS Field app installed on a Bluetooth enabled device carried by
the service technician (exception is for cabinets that do not utilise the Wellington Drive Controller).
The app should be utilised for safe, accurate diagnosis of the system and it is required to complete
a controller replacement in the field.
xRECOMMENDED – Have the Wellington Drive SCS Track app installed on a Bluetooth enabled device
carried by the service technician. This passive app collects system data from the Wellington Drive
SCS Connect Controller and transmit it to the cloud.
xLogistics companies may be used to transport a complete refrigerator where no separation of the
refrigeration system occurs. Logistics companies are not required to be contracted to this SKOPE
Service Policy.

Faults and Alarms
If a fault occurs, it is logged, the Fault - Alarm indicator is lit on the controller faceplate, and a
message may be displayed. Faults do not affect product temperature, and do not require
action from the shop owner, unless they turn into an alarm.
If an alarm occurs, it is logged, the Fault - Alarm indicator is lit, and the alarm message is
displayed on the controller faceplate. Alarms may result in abnormal product temperature.
Some faults and alarms can be cleared by the shop owner, and others can only be cleared by
a service technician. Faults and alarms can be cleared by the shop owner by power-cycling
the cabinet. However the fault or alarm will only clear if the problem has been fixed. If the
problem still exists after a power-cycle, a service technician will need to fix the problem.

Description Possible root cause Actions
Over-voltage protection
The maximum allowable mains supply
voltage has been exceeded. The
cabinet has temporarily shut down to
prevent damage and will restart once
the supply voltage decreases.
Should be a one-off. If it continues,
consider:
• poor line voltage Test the incoming voltage to ensure it is correct. The
test voltage needs to be between 198 and 264 volts.
• If outside this, the controller will shut the system
down until the voltage returns to between these
measurements.
• If the voltage is correct and the controller is still
showing a fault, replace the controller.
• rural location
• voltage setting parameter • Check the voltage parameter settings are between
198 and 264 volts. If this parameter is outside the
correct voltage, changing it may damage the
controller.
• controller • The controller may be reading incorrectly and
need replacing.
Under-voltage protection
The mains supply voltage has dropped
below the minimum allowable level.
The cabinet has temporarily shut down
to prevent damage and will restart once
the supply voltage increases.
Should be a one-off. If continues,
consider:
• power supply overloaded Test the incoming voltage to ensure it is correct. The
test voltage needs to be between 198 and 264 volts.
• If outside this, the controller will shut the system
down until the voltage returns to between these
measurements.
• If the voltage is correct and the controller is still
showing a fault, replace the controller.
• poor line voltage
• multi-box use • Check that there are not too many plugs using the
same multi-box adaptor causing the voltage to
drop.
• rural location
• voltage setting parameter • Check the voltage parameter settings are between
198 and 264 volts. If this parameter is outside the
correct voltage, changing it may damage the
controller.
• controller • The controller may be reading incorrectly and
need replacing.
