As this appliance contains hy-
drocarbon refrigerant please
refer to guidelines listed below.
The quantity and type of the
refrigerant used in your appli-
ance is indicated on the rating
plate.
the room in which you install
your appliance must have a
volume of 1m³ per 8 g of hydro-
carbon refrigerant used in the
appliances. This is to avoid the
mixtures in the room where the
appliance is located in the event
of a leak in the refrigerant circuit.
Keep ventilation openings in the
appliance or in built-in structures
must be kept clear.
Do not use other mechanical de-
vices or means to accelerate the
defrosting process or to remove
rime other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant
system.
The appliance may not be ex-
posed to rain.
This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities,

Operational guidelines
The compressor requires that the solar
panels are able to deliver a power above
a certain threshold in order to start. When
started, the compressor is able to operate
at lower power consumption than the
starting threshold. The compressor may
need a couple of starting attempts to get
running. So be patient!
During days with changing weather
conditions, the compressor may start and
stop several times.
The noise coming from the VLS SDD
appliance is low, and primarily comes from
a fan cooling the compressor.
The compressor is almost noiseless. The
fan starts a moment before the compressor
and stops a moment after the compressor.
The controller is factory set and should be
adjusted only by authorized personnel.
Basket is included when the appliance is
supplied and this MUST be used for storing
the medicine.
without prior notice.
Introduction
The philosophy behind the VLS SDD
system is:
• Simplicity
• Safety
• Robustness
• Reliability
The VLS SDD system is composed of:
• VLS SDD refrigerator
• Solar panels
• Installation equipment for the solar panels
• Wires from the solar panels to the
VLS SDD
The VLS SDD is a vaccine refrigerator. It
has one compartment for vaccine storage
(+2°C to +8°C) equipped with 1 basket.
With correct installation and by following a
few maintenance routines, the system will
work trouble-free for many years.

Unpacking
Unpack the appliance and check that it
has not been damaged. If you observe any
damage, please inform your supervisor.
Placing
Install the appliance in a dry and well
ventilated place. Avoid installation near heat
sources or in direct sunlight.
sure that it is level.
Level the appliance by screwing the adjust-
able feet up or down.
If the appliance is to be placed on a soft
best to recheck whether the appliance is still
level after a period of time as the underlying
surface may give under the weight of the
appliance.
Room temperature
The appliance is designed and adjusted to
produce an optimum temperature level in
the vaccine compartment at a minimum/
maximum ambient temperature of +5°C to
+43°C.
The Climate Class is indicated on the rat-
ing plate.

Ventilation
It is important that the appliance is placed-
well ventilated, so that air can circulate
unhindered above, below, and around the
appliance. Fig. 7 illustrates how the neces-
sary air circulation can be ensured. There
must be at least 30 mm clearance between
Ventilation openings in the appliance or in
built-in structures must be kept clear.

Connect the appliance to the solar pan-
els according to table 1, which states the
lengths and sizes of the wires used for con-
necting the appliances.
Standard supplied cable size and length will
be 6mm²and 20m.

Clean the appliance thoroughly before start
up.
Start up
Before the appliance is loaded with vaccine,
the ice pack ballast must be frozen. The
cool-down time in an ambient temperature
of 43°C will be approx. 5-7 days.
When the temperature on the display of
the thermometer is approx. +4°C in the
morning, the appliance is ready for load-
ing vaccine. Check the temperature in the
basket. The temperature must be between
+2°C and +8°C.
The vaccines must be placed and arranged
The temperature in the vaccine compart-
ment must always be monitored on the ther-
mometer and be between +2°C and +8°C.
The controller is factory set and should not
be adjusted by unauthorized personnel.

Loading vaccines
When the temperature in the vaccine
compartment has stabilized, i.e. and the
temperature is between +2° and +8°C and
the compressor stops and starts, vaccines
can be loaded. The vaccines should be
placed and arranged in the basket.
Do not load the vaccine
above top of the basket.
To ensure air-circulation and prevent too
low vaccine temperature, direct contact
to the inside walls must be avoided. The
Vaccine load in the basket shall not be
above top of the basket.

The best way to clean the appliance is by
using luke warm water with a small amount
of unscented detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with
clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important
to prevent water from running into the control
panel.
The sealing strip around the lid must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water. After
cleaning the sealing strip, check that it contin-
ues to provide a tight seal.
If the appliance is not being used for any peri-

the inside, and leave the lid open to allow air
circulation and prevent smells.
The temperature in the vaccine compartment
must always be monitored on the thermo-
meter every morning and evening. Please
note that the vaccine in the appliance may
not freeze. The temperature is factory set,
and should not be adjusted by unauthorized
personnel.
Please check each day that the internal lid is

Wipe of water droplets on the inside wall.
Monthly
Clean grille for compressor compartment.
Clean the refrigerator with lukewarm water

6 Month maintenance
Clean condenser coils.
Maintenance of the solar panels
The solar panels are to be cleaned for dust
once each week – or as required. Cleaning
must be carried out with water using a soft
cloth or wash rag.
Avoid shading. It should be regularly moni-
tored that shades do not come up such as
new towering trees, as this will decrease the
amount of energy produced by the system.
Electric connections and components are to
be checked and cleaned at least once a year
or more often if required. Because of risk of

La philosophie qui soutient le système VLS
SDDest :
• Simplicité
• Sécurité
• Robustesse
• Fiabilité
Le système VLS SDD est composé des
éléments suivants :
• Réfrigérateur VLS SDD
• Panneaux solaires
• Équipement pour l’installation des pan-
neaux solaires
• Câbles des panneaux solaires au VLS
SDD
Le VLS SDD est un réfrigérateur pour
vaccins. Il possède un compartiment pour le
stockage de vaccins (+2 °C à + 8 °C) muni
de 1 panier.
Avec une bonne installation et en suivant
quelques séquences d’entretien, le sys-
tème fonctionnera sans problème pendant
plusieurs années.
Instructions de fonc-
tionnement
Le compresseur requiert que les panneaux
solaires puissent fournir une puissance
supérieure à un certain seuil pour qu’il
démarre. Une fois démarrer, le compres-
seur peut fonctionner en consommant une
puissance moindre que celle du seuil de dé-
marrage. Le compresseur peut avoir besoin
de quelques tentatives de démarrage pour
fonctionner. Soyez donc patient !
Lors de journées avec des conditions
météorologiques changeantes, le compres-
seur peut démarrer et arrêter plusieurs fois.
Le bruit provenant de l’appareil VLS 054 est
de faible intensité et est généré par le venti-
lateur de refroidissement du compresseur.
Le compresseur est pratiquement silen-
cieux. Le ventilateur démarre un instant
avant le compresseur et s’arrête un instant
après son arrêt.
Le contrôleur est réglé en usine et ne doit être
réglée que par le personnel autorisé.
De panier est inclus avec la fourniture de
l’appareil et ils DOIVENT être utilisés pour
le stockage des médicaments.
