Refrigerated and heated merchandisers must be placed in an environment with proper air ventilation. Consider the 5/10/15 rule when determining where to place equipment. Stay 5’ away from an exterior window, 10’ away from HVAC vents and 15’ away from an exterior door. Refer to additional details in our Design Guides.
The controller is pre-set from the factory to the proper settings. It is password protected to help maintain the proper settings. If you have any further questions, contact tech support for further assistance.
The air thermometers are reading discharge air. Temperature right off the evaporator coil. There is also a defrost probe mounted on the bottom u-bend of the evaporator coil.
Warm air coming in from outside of the refrigerator will lead to condensation when it comes in contact with a surface below the dew point. The equipment will be either a Type I (75degrees/55% humidity) or Type II (80 degrees/55% humidity). This ambient condition will be the max condition for the unit to be able to sustain. When outside that range, heat load onto the unit, or the lack of pre-chilled product can result in excess condensation that the equipment cannot keep up with.
This Serial label will be found on the equipment on a silver 3x5 foil tag. This tag will be inside the unit by the top light, on the base panel near the main power switch, or on the rear base tub.
There will be an application setting sticker near the controller that will list the settings the controller will need to get programed at to hold proper product temperature.
No, the fans will stay running to keep constant circulation of air.
Yes, ALL product needs to be pre-chilled before getting loaded into the equipment. Any room temperature product will add an extra heat load that can cause the unit to struggle to operate and potentially generate excess water.
Our equipment will operate based on a discharge air set point (coldest part of the equipment). That set point will be in the low 20’s with a 10+ degree temperature swing. The unit will then cycle between about 22 and 35 degrees to be able to hold product temperature below 40 degrees.
