RECEIVING
Your unit was built, packaged, and inspected with extreme care. We shipped it to you using
carriers we trust with a proven track record of careful handling, good customer service, and on
time delivery. Unfortunately, regardless of all of these efforts sometimes accidents happen and
occasionally those accidents result in shipping damage. When the carrier picked up the
merchandise from us, they assumed responsibility for its condition en route to you. Thus, any
claims for shipping damage must be filed with the carrier. Like anybody else, carriers don’t like
to pay out on insurance claims, so their claims procedures and requirements are very
restrictive. You should consult the carrier’s website for their specific claims procedures. You
should also know that time is of the essence.
There are two general types of shipping damage. The first is visible damage. This type of
damage includes visible loss, damage, shortage or any external evidence of loss or damage that
is visible at time of delivery. This type of damage must be noted in detail on your delivery
receipt. Make sure the driver signs and dates the delivery receipt, acknowledging the
damage. This has to happen at the time of delivery or it won’t happen at all. Keep a copy for
your records and send another to the carrier’s damage claims department along with a formal
request for an inspection report. Follow up with a phone call. Their contact information can be
found on the carrier’s web site.
The second type of shipping damage is concealed damage. This type of damage will probably
not be apparent at time of delivery and may not be discovered until unpacking and inspecting
the unit. Remember, time is of the essence here. You should unpack and inspect the unit as
soon as possible. Each day that passes reduces the likelihood that the carrier will pay the claim.
As soon as the concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking and retain all packing
materials. Contact the carrier by phone to report the claim. Note the date and time and
person you spoke with. Get a claim number. Follow up with a written letter referencing the
claim number and including a formal request for an inspection. Again, consult the carrier’s
website for specific claim instructions and follow them precisely.
AS STATED ABOVE, THE CARRIER IS YOUR SOLE SOURCE FOR SATISFACTION OF A DAMAGE
CLAIM. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MERCHANDISE BE RETURNED TO THE
MANUFACTURER. NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
REQUIRED TOOLS –9/16” socket or wrench, ¾” open end wrench, Phillips head screwdriver,
and level.
UNCRATING –
Move your refrigerator as close to the final location as possible before removing the wooden
skid. The location should be as close as possible to the power outlet, so the extend cord is not
needed.
PLEASE NOTE! Your refrigerator or freezer is designed as INDOOR USE and should be operated
at air conditioned room temperature between 65°F to 85°F.
Remove the lower grill assembly from the front of cabinet.
Skid bolts are located in each of 4 corners inside cabinet bottom. (See photo A). Remove skid
bolts. (See photo B). Carefully lift cabinet off of skid. Replace the lower grill assembly back
onto the refrigerator.
For Swing Door(s) Model -
Remove door support bracket on interior bottom of the swing glass door and discard (see
Image 1 & 2).

Part number 20047, Rev 0
5
For Sliding Doors Model –
Remove the styrofoam blocks on the top of the door tracks (see Image 3) and the plastic door
stoppers (see Image 4, 5, and 6)
CASTERS INSTALLATION –
It is important to ensure the casters are installed properly and securely in order to obtain the
maximum strength and stability of the unit.
For leveling, insert the shim
between the caster and frame rail.
Use ¾ inch open-end wrench to
tighten the anchoring bolt

Part number 20047, Rev 0
6
LEVELING –
Proper leveling of your refrigerator is critical
to operating success. Condensate removal
and door operation will be adversely affected
by not leveling. The unit should be leveled
front to back and side to side with a level.
Ensure that the drain hose or hoses are
positioned in the pan.
POWER SOURCE –The supply circuit to this cabinet
must conform to all National and Local Electrical
Codes. Consult the cabinet Serial-Data plate for
voltage, cycle, phase, and amp requirements before
making connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY
MORE THAN 5% FROM SERIAL PLATE RATINGS. A
separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to over-loading or
failure of other equipment on the same circuit. PROTECT THE CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP
DELAY-TYPE FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. Do not use an
extension cord. Be sure your unit is properly grounded.
Use the 3-prong plug provided into a 3-prong grounded
outlet. (Only this method complies with national
electrical codes, local codes and ordinances.) Unless
the above grounding method is followed, you are not
protected against severe or lethal shock in the event of
a short circuit of an electrical component or wiring of
the unit.
STARTING –There are no compressor shipping bolts to
loosen or valves to open. All that is necessary after the
unit has been properly leveled is to plug the service
cord into an electrical outlet When starting this new
appliance, allow the cabinet to operate a minimum of eight hours or until it has started
cycling normally before placing product in the cabinet. The motor compressor may start
and stop several times when the unit is first started or after defrosting, especially if the
weather is very hot. This is only normal functioning of the motor overload protector. The
motor compressor will cycle normally as soon as the excess heat has been removed.

SHELF INSTALLATON
Hook shelf clip onto pilaster strips (See below). Position all four shelf clips equal in distance
from the floor for flat shelves. Wire shelves are oriented so that cross support bars are facing
down.
Place shelves on shelf clips making sure all corners are seated properly.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
NOTE: The controls are preset at the factory to provide the desired air and product
temperatures inside of the units and require no further adjustment. Please contact the
manufacturer’s Technical Support Department before making any adjustment to make sure
the adjustment is necessary and, if so, to ensure it is performed properly.
The Digital Microprocessor Temperature Controller is located inside the top of the refrigerator.
The operation of this controller is explained in the section starting on page 14 of this manual.
INTERIOR LIGHT (not applicable to SCLP-3004C)
The interior light is controlled by a rocker switch located on the top right in the interior of the
refrigerator.

Part number 20047, Rev 0

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
After the unit is properly installed and power is applied, it will take some time before the
system is cooled down to temperature and cycling normally. You should wait 8 hours on the
first startup before beginning to add product to the unit. This ensures that the unit is installed
and operating properly before being put into service. On subsequent startups (after cleanings,
for example), this wait time can be reduced to about 3 hours. After this wait time, the unit
should be cycling in the desired temperature band. The units are calibrated before leaving the
factory, so no adjustment should be necessary.
Loading the units will again cause temperature to rise as the warmer product is introduced into
the compartment. If a large amount of product is to be introduced, it is a good idea to do it in
stages, allowing several hours between stages to allow temperature to stabilize again before
introducing additional warm product. This will minimize the temperature transient while
loading. Other tips for successful loading include:
-Leave about 2-3 inches of free space along the back and sides of the unit to allow for proper
air flow and, therefore, more even cooling of the product.
-When loading the top shelf, avoid blocking the evaporator fan(s) (if installed). There should
be at least 4 inches of clearance below the fan(s) to allow proper air flow.
-Do not overload the unit. Maximum suggested load is about 75% of chamber capacity.
Additionally, the load should be distributed evenly from top to bottom and side to side for
best results.
-Minimize the time the door is open. On top of letting the cold air out, you are also letting
warm, moist air in which can result in more condensation and/or frost in the unit.
Model SCLP-3004C will go into a defrost cycle every 8 hours to remove frost build-up around
the evaporator coils. This cycle can last up to 15 minutes. During this time the compressor is
turned off and defrost heaters are turned on in the evaporator section. This will cause a rise in
air temperature inside the unit but should not significantly affect product temperatures.
Remember that the units are calibrated to the desired temperature band before leaving the
factory. We also do extensive testing to ensure that these temperatures will result in product
temperatures in the desired band. There should be no need to adjust the temperature control
on these units, but if it is necessary, they can be adjusted using the manual thermostat on the
inside of the unit.
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you contact the manufacturer’s Technical Support
Department prior to performing any temperature adjustments to ensure the adjustment is
necessary and, if so, it is performed correctly.

CONTROL CENTER - TEMPERATURE MONITOR SYSTEM
The temperature control center (monitor) system on the front of the unit provides the
following functions-
-to provide an indication of the sample temperature inside of the compartment
-to provide a local alarm at the unit in the event an out of range temperature exists
-to provide the ability to connect remote systems to provide remote alarms or
notifications in the event of an out of range temperature.
-to provide the ability to adjust setpoints, as well as program and test other parameters
associated with the alarm system (i.e. delay times, system status).
-a battery backup, which will maintain the alarm system for several hours after a power
failure to allow for continued alarm and notification functions.
The temperature monitor system does NOT control the temperature of the unit. That function
is performed by the Microprocessor Digital Temperature Control, which is preset at the factory
and should not need to be adjusted by the user.
CONTROL CENTER PANEL
The LCD Display shows the temperature in ºC
In the event of a loss of power, the display shows a BAT message to indicate that the
monitor is running on the battery. If the battery is low, the BAT message will blink.

The STATUS tricolor LED shows the status of the unit.
Green = normal run mode
Amber = program mode
Red = temperature is out of range (The light blinks off briefly each second to show the
unit is active)
The ALARM/TEST push-button interrupts line power, to allow testing of the battery and the
alarm relay.
The bright red ALARM LED shows alarm conditions.
In alarm mode, it flashes every half-second.
In alarm mute mode, it gives a short blink every second.
In battery mode, it gives a short blink every two seconds.
The BEEPER shows alarm conditions and user activity.
In alarm mode, it gives a long beep.
In alarm mute mode, it gives a short chirp.
It gives an audible tick to indicate a button has been pressed.
The MUTE/PROGRAM button has three functions.
In Normal Run mode, if the unit is beeping, pressing the button will mute the beeper for a
preset time. Each time the button is pressed the mute time resets.
Holding the button down for two seconds takes the unit out of Normal Run mode and into
Programming mode. At the same time, it mutes the beeper.
When in Programming mode, pressing the button steps the unit through the various
programming parameters.
The UP button has a different function for each operating mode.
In Normal Run mode, pressing the button causes the high temperature set point to be
displayed.
In Programming mode, pressing the button increases the displayed parameter value.
The DOWN button has a different function for each operating mode.
In Normal Run mode, pressing the button displays the low temperature set point.
In Programming mode, pressing the button decreases the displayed parameter value.

Part number 20047, Rev 0

BASIC OPERATION
The Control Center Monitor has two modes: NORMAL RUN MODE and PROGRAMMING MODE.
In Normal Run mode, the display shows the temperature that the probe is reading to the lowest
whole number, i.e., if it shows a value of 10.0ᵒ, the actual temperature can range from 10.0 to
10.9.
Press the UP button to cause the display to show the high temperature set point.
Press the DOWN button to cause the display to show the low temperature set point.
The Control Center compares the probe’s temperature reading to HIGH and LOW temperature
setpoints. The STATUS LED glows green when the probe reads an in-range temperature
(between the two setpoints) and red when the temperature is out of range (equal to or outside
the setpoints).
The Control Center will not declare an alarm until the out-of-range state has continued for a
specified time (the “alarm delay”). This alarm delay time is designed to prevent transient,
nuisance alarms.
When an alarm condition is declared, the BEEPER and ALARM LED will both activate. Press the
MUTE/PROGRAM button to stop the beeper for a specified time, changing the sound to short
‘chirps’. When the temperature goes back within range, and there are no out-of-range readings
for thirty seconds, the chirping stops and the MUTE/PROGRAM button resets. If another out-
of-range condition then occurs, the beeper will again start at full volume.
After the user-programmable “SILENCE” parameter times out, if the alarm condition still exists,
the beeper will annunciate again at full volume until MUTE/PROGRAM is pushed.
Battery Back-Up (B)
The Control Center has a battery back-up option. It ships with the battery in place and
connected. Remove the white nylon screw located on the lower left side of the module to
activate the battery option.
When line power is present, all of the normal features of The Control Center are operating.
When line power is lost, the battery provides power to maintain two important functions:
Operate the audio and visual alarms. They flash/beep less frequently than usual, in order to
avoid draining the battery.
Continue to display the temperature of the area being monitored. The display will flash, to
save power.

Part number 20047, Rev 0
12
Testing the battery:
The battery recharges when the unit is plugged into line power. To test the battery, push the
ALARM/TEST button on the front panel. The following should happen:
The ALARM LED will flash red.
The beeper alarm will begin to chirp.
The remote alarm relay will switch.
PROGRAMMING
To program The Control Center Monitor:
1. Hold the MUTE button for two seconds to bring the unit into Programming mode.
2. The display will show the first parameter that can be programmed (high temperature limit).
The name of the parameter will flash, then the current value of that parameter.
3. To change the value of a parameter, press the UP or DOWN buttons. Pressing either button
will change the parameter value by one count.
4. Holding either button for half a second will change the parameter value by 10 counts. It will
continue to step by 10 for each push, so long as the pushes occur within a short period.
5. Once the Monitor is in Programming mode, each time the Mute button is pressed, the
display steps to the next parameter. As the display steps to the next parameter, the value
of the previous parameter is saved. Once the final parameter is reached, pressing the
MUTE button returns the monitor to Normal Run mode, saving the final parameter.
Description of Parameters for Control Center:
Hi (High Limit)
In Normal Run mode, the alarm will trigger if the probe reads a temperature equal to or above
the high temperature limit. The high temperature limit cannot be set above the operating
temperature range of the unit.
Lo (Low Limit)
When in Normal Run mode, the alarm will trigger if the probe reads a temperature equal to or
below the low temperature limit. The low temperature limit cannot be set below the operating
temperature range of the unit.
Ad (Alarm Delay)
The Control Center will not declare an alarm until the out-of-range state has continued for a
specified time (the “alarm delay”). This alarm delay time will prevent transient nuisance
alarms. The alarm delay time can be set for 0 to 30 minutes.

Part number 20047, Rev 0
13
rd (Relay Delay)
If there is an alarm condition, the relay contacts will switch. The relay delay parameter allows
the user to set the amount of time delay from the start of the alarm condition to the time the
relay contact switches. This keeps the relay from switching during short “nuisance alarms”.
The operator may set the relay delay time for 0 to 30 minutes.
SIL (Alarm Silence, or Alarm Mute Time)
This parameter sets the number of minutes the beeper will “chirp” when the mute button is
pressed during an alarm condition. After the Silence Time elapses, if the alarm condition still
exists, the beeper will begin to sound at full volume again. This parameter can be set from 5 to
120 minutes.
Remote Alarm Contacts
The Remote Alarm Relay is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay that changes state
(switches) with the loss of line power or with the presence of an alarm condition.
NOTE: The relay is rated for pilot duty operation only. Do NOT use it for control switching. The
relay contacts and connections are rated at 30v/1A.
In normal applications, the relay signals remote alarms or central monitoring systems that an
alarm condition has occurred at the unit being monitored.
The relay will “pull-in” when line power is present. If an alarm condition lasts for a designated
time (the “relay delay”), the relay will “drop out”, causing the relay contacts to switch. If the
alarm condition does not last long enough for the relay delay to time out, the relay will not go
into its alarm position. The relay will also “drop out” if power to the alarm is lost, acting as a
power loss detector.
The diagram below is an example of hooking up our external relay output to a remote alarm.

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Check these items before calling for service
PROBLEM:
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOULTIONS:
Unit does not run
Electrical circuit is not 110-120V 60Hz.
The power cord is not plugged in.
No power at electrical outlet. Check to make sure
breaker is not tripped or fuse is not blown. Additionally,
make sure unit is not plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) type of outlet.
Unit does not maintain at the
proper temperature
Check the room temperature. We recommend the
refrigerator or freezer should be placed in the air
conditioned room between 65°F to 85°F. If the room
temp is too warm, the refrigerator or freezer may not be
able to maintain the interior temp at proper range.
Door is not closed properly.
Amount of stored product is overloaded.
Product replacements are pushed against rear wall or
interrupted the proper refrigerator air circulation. For
the proper air circulation, place the products evenly on
each shelf. Do not push against the refrigerator’s rear or
side walls.
Evaporator is blocked by frost or ice. Remove the
products, unplug the refrigerator or freezer power, and
allow the unit to defrost. If the problem still exists, call
for service.
3rd party thermometer is placed incorrectly. For proper
temperature monitoring, the thermometer should be
place in the middle of refrigerator.
PLEASE NOTE! Prior to shipment, each refrigerator and freezer
has been calibrated and tested at proper temperature range.
Appliance runs too long
Prolong door openings.
Control set too cold.
Room temperature is high which will make the unit work
harder to keep cool.
Temperature of external wall
surface is warm
The exterior walls can be as much as 30 degrees warmer
than room temperature due to the embedded
condenser coils. This is normal when the unit is
operating.

Part number 20047, Rev 0
18
PROBLEM:
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOULTIONS:
Compressor noises
Compressor may be overheated. Please check the room
temp and ensure the range is within 65°F to 85°F. If the
problem still exists, call for service.
Moisture collects inside
Door gasket is not sealing properly. Check for debris,
cracks, and items passing through door at the gasket.
The refrigerator or freezer is facing a doorway or is
underneath of air conditioning vent. Relocate the unit or
redirect air vent.
Too many door openings. Minimize time door is open.
Hot, humid weather increases condensation.
Make sure there is a water trap (U-shaped loop) in the
drain tube near the compressor. This will “trap” a small
amount of water in the loop and prevent air from
entering the chamber through the tube.
Moisture collects on outside
surface
Hot, humid weather increases condensation.
As humidity decreases, moisture will disappear.
Odor inside the unit
Interior needs to be cleaned. See section on
maintenance and cleaning in this manual.
Make sure product containers are tightly sealed to
prevent leakage
Door will not close
The unit is not level. Refer to the Leveling section at the
beginning of this manual
Check for dirt and debris or items passing through the
door seal.
MOISTURE DURING THE SUMMER SEASON
The amount of moisture, condensation, or high humidity related issues increase during the summer
and, in most cases, will self-resolve when the weather cools down. Please note a refrigeration
system will NOT generate moisture or water but simply condenses the moisture that is already in
the chamber. Keeping the unit in an air conditioned, low humidity space will resolve many issues.
Other things you should check
1. Location of the refrigerator (See Quick Troubleshooting Guide above)
2. Door sealing and frequency of door opening event (See Quick Troubleshooting Guide above)
3. Make sure there is a water trap (U-shaped loop) in the drain tube near the end. This will
“trap” a small amount of water in the loop and prevent air from entering the chamber
through the tube.
BEFORE CALLING THE MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL SUPPORT DEPARTMENT, please have the
unit’s model and serial number ready as well as the problem description. The model and serial
number is located on the serial tag which can be found on the interior left upper wall of the
unit.

CONDENSER MAINTENANCE (Not applicable to SCLP-3004C)
IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION
Air is pulled through the condenser continuously during operation. Along with this air come
impurities like dust, lint, grease, etc.
These impurities accumulate in the condenser. Dirty condensers result in inefficient operation,
compressor failure and potential product loss which are not covered by warranty.
If you keep the condenser clean, you will minimize your service expense and lower your
electrical costs. The condenser requires scheduled cleaning every 30 day (or more frequently
in dirty environments).
Proper cleaning involves removing dust from the condenser. This can be accomplished using a
soft brush, by vacuuming, and by blowing through the condenser coils with pressurized air,
CO2, or nitrogen.
REMEMBER, THE CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
AND IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO KEEP THE
CONDENSER CLEAN IS ALSO NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the unit
2. Removed the louvered grill at the base of the unit. Locate the condensing unit.
3. CAUTION: Use eye protection while performing the steps 4-6 to avoid eye injury.
4. Vacuum the dirt from the condenser coil fins. Use a soft brush to help dislodge the dirt from
the coil fins and around the coil ends.
5. When properly cleaned, you should be able to see through the condenser unit (try shining a
flashlight through to the other side).
6. If necessary, use compressed air, CO2 or Nitrogen to blow through the coils. Limit air
pressure to approx. 30 psi.
7. When finished, be sure to replace the louvered grill as it provides protection for the
condenser.
8. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
