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
UNCRATING AND PLACEMENT– This unit comes with an optional roller
base so you can unpack it in an open area, remove the wooden planks
or skid as shown, and then place it on the roller base to move to its
normal location. To place the unit on the roller base, have one person
tilt the machine forward and hold it while a second person slides the
roller base in from the back. Note that the side without a top lip goes
towards the front of the unit. Once it is in as far as it will go, have the
second person hold the base firmly in place while the first person tilts
the machine up and onto the roller base, pushing it back until all 4
corners are on the base. The unit should be placed as close as possible to a dedicated power outlet
so an extension cord will not be needed. This unit requires a minimum of 4 inches of air flow space
in back and 3 inches on the sides and top. Once the unit is in place, the rear casters on the roller
base should be locked to prevent inadvertent movement.
LEVELING −Once the unit is in place (either on or off of the roller base) you can level it with the
screw-type adjustable leveling legs on the front corners of the unit. Turn counterclockwise to raise
the corner; turn clockwise to lower it. Leveling legs are required in front only. Unit may have a
slight tilt )front to back) after legs are installed. This is acceptable and recommended on this unit.
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 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.

DOOR BINS (not applicable to all models)
Your unit may come equipped with storage bins in the door. Because of the temperature
characteristics of these units, items stored in these bins may not be maintained in the desired
temperature band. Please restrict the use of these bins for non-critical temperature storage.
SHELF INSTALLATION
Hook shelf clips onto pilaster strips (see Illustration). 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 12 of this manual.

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 design temperature range. 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. A full load is about 70 to 75% full. 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-3004 will go into a defrost cycle every 6 hours to remove frost build-up around the
evaporator coils. This cycle can last up to 25 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 design temperature range 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
back of the unit.
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you contact our 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.
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 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 causes the low temperature set point to be displayed.
•In Programming mode, pressing the button decreases the displayed parameter value.
BASIC OPERATION
The Control Center Monitor has two modes: NORMAL RUN MODE and PROGRAMMING MODE. This
section describes the unit in Normal Run 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’.

Part number 20046, Rev 0
9
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. 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 ten on repeated pushes, so long as the pushes occur within a short period.
5. Releasing the UP or DOWN buttons for a half second will cause the step to revert back to one.
6. 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)

Part number 20046, Rev 0
10
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.
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.

Part number 20046, Rev 0
11
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.

DIGITAL MICROPROCESSOR TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
The digital microprocessor temperature controller is designed to provide on/off control of refrigerators
or freezers. The controller also provides a constant readout of the air temperature inside of the unit. A
touch keypad allows the user to easily select the display units, set point, differential set point, and
heating or cooling mode.
Please Note: The digital temperature controller has been factory set and tested to
allow your unit to operate at its designed temperature cycle. Adjusting the settings on
the controller will alter these factory settings. Please allow the unit to operate at
least 8 hours after the initial startup before making any temperature adjustment. WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CONTACT OUR TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS CONTROLLER.

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 20046, Rev 0
15
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.
