2. Unit description

The ULTRA.Guard™ ultra-low temperature freezers UF V were produced with great care using the latest
tools for development and production. They were optimized for safe long-term storage of samples in the
ultra-low temperature range and reach the minimum temperature of -86 °C / -122.8 °F in approx. 9 hours.
You can operate the freezer in a temperature range from -86 °C / -122.8 °F up to -40 °C / -40 °F.

The UF V units are regularly equipped with the progressive RFID system (optional for UF V UL), offering
personalized access control. The UF V UL units are regularly equipped with the advanced voltage boost­er AVC (option for UF V) and a data logger (option for UF V).

The freezers are available with the door hinged on right or left and for several different voltages.

Easy opening and closing door mechanism and access control

A pushbutton permits opening the automatic door mechanism without using your hands. A pull-tight func­tion automatically closes the outer door when slightly open. For personalized access control, the freezer
door is RFID controlled (standard with UF V, option for UF V UL) and an optional door locking with key is
available (option for UF V UL).

The freezer is regularly equipped with a key switch (main power switch) to switch on and off the unit.

Controller
For temperature control, the freezer is equipped with the microprocessor controller RP1 with a digital

display. The controller keypad can be locked (keyboard locking). Temperature setting is accurate to one
degree. The controller is mounted at eye level.

The controller offers an error diagnostics system generating audible and visual warning and alarm mes­sages. During power failure, alarm function and control remain active during 72h. The controller provides
password protection for the setting menus. Testing the alarm functions is always possible.

The controller monitors ambient temperature and issues an alarm if it exceeds an adjustable value.
A counter of operating hours / weeks is included.

Housing
The inner chamber and the inside of the insulated outer door are made of stainless steel (material no.

1.4301 (V2A) in Germany). The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also

completely coated. The inner surfaces are smooth and therefore easy to clean. Easy front access permits
filter cleaning without tools. A 10 mm access port prepared to be finalized by the user and an additional
optional access port serves to introduce a cable and sensor of a measuring device.

The buildup of ice in the door area is minimal due to perfect closing of the inner and outer doors and a
heating of the outer door gasket. Precise spatial distribution of the cold in the interior ensures storage of
all samples at an identical storage temperature. The prevention of thermal bridges protects against de­frosting. The combination of vacuum insulation panels (V technology) and CFC-free polyurethane foam­ing maximizes the cold storage capacity.

The freezer has four compartment doors. You can insert stainless steel shelves are make optimum use of
the interior. You can flexibly arrange the shelves to use the interior in a variable and optimum manner.
Inventory racks (stainless steel storage racks with cryo boxes, chap. 13) are optionally available.

Vertically adjustable castors with locks serve to move the freezer and then place it safely at its destina­tion.

Safety

Thanks to the standard overtemperature safety device, the set temperature is maintained also in case of
a controller failure.

In case of power failure at -80 °C / -112 °F, a temperature of -60 °C / -76 °F will not be exceeded in an
empty freezer for at least 3 hours, in a loaded freezer (measured with a 30 kg / 66 lb water load) for ap­prox. 7 hours.

The freezer is equipped with a rechargeable battery (12 V, 7.2 Ah). Battery voltage is regularly monitored.
An alarm indicates too low battery voltage. You can check battery voltage in the “USER” menu.

The advanced voltage booster provides automatic voltage compensation through a buck/boost converter
(standard with UF V UL, option for UF V, chap. 4.7).

An error diagnostics system monitors the unit functions and generates audible and visual warning and
alarm messages. The door is monitored for being closed.

The CO

emergency cooling (option, chap. 11) offers additional refrigeration, i.e., following introduction of

2

a heat load, in case of a power failure or failure of the cooling system.

Data monitoring and recording

The freezer is regularly equipped with a zero-voltage relay alarm output (chap. 10.10) and with an analog
output (chap. 12.3) for integration into customer systems. An additional independent Pt100 temperature
sensor with output on Lemo socket is available (option, chap. 12.4). The freezer can be optionally
equipped with an Ethernet interface (option, chap. 12.1) for computer communication, enabling monitor­ing via a network. The BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option,
chap. 12.2) permits networking of up to 30 units and connection to a computer, as well as recording and
representing temperature data.

A circular chart recorder (option for UF V UL, chap. 12.5) or a data logger with USB port that is inde­pendent from the chamber controller (standard with UF V UL, option for UF V, chap. 12.6) serve to inde­pendently record the temperature values, data given out in compliance with FDA guideline 21 CFR part

11.

3.2 Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation

3.2.1 Moving the freezer inside a building

Before moving the freezer the castor locks must be raised completely (moving position, chap. 3.5).
The castors are designed only for moving the freezer inside a building. This is possible only on a floor

without joints (e.g. no tiles) and when avoiding shocks. In this case, the freezer must not be empty (max.
load see technical data, chap. 18.4).

If you want to move the unit across a large door threshold or into an elevator to change the floor, empty
the freezer and put all shelves on the bottom of the interior.

If you incline the unit by less than 5°, you can directly turn it on after moving (at least 10 minutes after
turning off). Otherwise, wait at least 8 hours until putting it into operation again.

As soon as the unit has reached its destination, completely let down the castor locks (operating position,
chap. 3.5) in order to be able to permanently support the unit’s weight.

Wear suitable shoes (safety shoes) when moving the freezer.

Over very short distances (within reach of the power cable), you can move the freezer while operating.
If you turned off the unit (turning off at the main power switch, pulling the power plug), wait at least 10

minutes after moving until you turn on again the unit in order to protect the refrigeration machine against
damage.

Too quick restart of the refrigeration machine.

5.4.3 Cards for access control

With each freezer unit, a master card, a switch-off card and 3 user cards (scope of delivery) are available
for access control. The system can memorize up to 60 user cards. The cards have a copy protection
related to their internal card number.

The user cards serve to open the freezer. The user cards release the automatic door mechanism on
condition that the card number was registered in the system by means of the master card. You can open
the door with pushbutton “OPEN”.

The master card serves to registering / clearing the card numbers in the system. A master card will not
open the chamber. In case of having lost the master card, the system can be reset to initial state with a
service unit and a code exchange with BINDER Service.

The switch-off card serves to inactivate the RFID access control. Using the switch-off card is possible
only together with the registered master card.

5.4.5 Reading out the door opening data with the GUARD.CONTROL Reader Kit (Art. no.

8012-0789)

Place the GUARD.CONTROL Reader in front of the RFID area to have the door opening data transferred
to the reader. You can then connect the reader to a computer. Data is collected and stored in the com­puter using the GUARD.CONTROL software. Without a PC connection the GUARD.CONTROL Reader
can read up to 10 devices (data sets). A single data set of a freezer contains the ID of the door lock (de­vice number and name) and 10.000 events maximum (storage capacity of the UF V door lock). If this
number of events is exceeded, the new events overwrite the oldest events in the door lock. An event
contains a time stamp and the performed action, if appropriate with the card ID (user number).

5.4.6 Resetting the entire system

In case of having lost the master card, BINDER Service can reset the system to initial state together with
the operator of the freezer. Please contact BINDER Service.

5.5 Behavior after turning on the unit

During the equilibration phase of 9 hours after turning on the unit, undefined temperature conditions oc­cur within the unit. During this phase, do not place any sample materials in the unit

CAUTION

Danger of destruction of samples.

 Load the freezer only after equilibration of temperature.

Following turning on the unit with the key switch (6), there is a subsequent brief startup phase in which
the display items at the edges of the controller display light up successively.

After a few seconds, the display shows the current interior temperature of the freezer. The lit LED at the
right of the display shows that the temperature is displayed in °C.

Figure 29: Normal display of controller after turning on the
freezer, showing the current temperature value: 15 °C (ex­ample)

Set the controller to the desired temperature set point (chap. 6) used to operate the freezer.

7. Placing samples in storage in the freezer

Before storing valuable samples, conduct a 10-days test run at the desired temperature. This helps to
detect transport damages like capillary cracks. Then you can load the freezer with the precooled sam­ples.

WARNING: If customer should use a freezer running in non-supervised continuous opera­tion, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples to
split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.

During the equilibration phase of 9 hours after turning on the unit, undefined temperature conditions oc­cur within the unit. During this phase, do not place any sample materials in the unit

CAUTION

Danger of samples being destroyed.

 Load the freezer only after equilibration of temperature.

When placing not precooled samples in storage, temperature rises inside the freezer. We recommend to
successively load the freezer. The more thermal energy you bring in, the longer it takes until reaching the
set-point temperature again.

Do not exceed the maximum load of each compartment and the permitted total load (see chap.18.4).
Always wear protective gloves when opening the freezer and bringing in or removing material.

CAUTION

The inner surfaces become very cold during operation.

Danger of injury by freezing on.

∅ Do NOT directly touch the inner surfaces or the charging material during operation.

∅ AVOID skin contact with the inner surfaces and accessory equipment.

 Wear protective gloves when opening the inner doors and during manipulation.

8.5 Performance during and after power failure and shut down

In the event of power failure, the battery maintains the controller functions. The controller display is dark
and can be activated for 5 seconds by pressing any button. The refrigerating machine is out of operation..
The unit’s refrigerating function can be maintained through the optional CO2 emergency cooling (chap.

11). The zero-voltage relay alarm output (8) (chap. 10.10) is switched for the whole duration of the power

failure.
After the power returns, each freezer turns on with an individual firmly assigned delay of max. 180 sec-

onds to prevent current spikes in the customer's electricity supply system by simultaneously switching on
several devices.

The controller counts down the time until restart in seconds.

10. Indications and alarm functions (auto-diagnostic system)

10.1 Indications and alarm functions overview

When operational faults occur, the controller triggers visual and audible alarm signals. The red collective
alarm LED
sounds.

A zero-voltage relay alarm output (8) (chap. 10.10) permits transmission of the alarm e.g., to a central
monitoring system.

The alarm messages safety controller or tolerance band + door open are displayed cyclically one after
the other if they occur simultaneously.

If more than one alarm signal is sent simultaneously, they are displayed in a cycle, except for alarms 997
to 999. These take priority over all other operational displays and alarm signals of the controller.

Except for the tolerance range alarms, all alarms are displayed immediately when the fault occurs. The
tolerance range alarms are suppressed for a selected time (delay times set for temperature alarm) after
opening the unit door or turning on the freezer.

10.10 Zero-voltage relay alarm output

Collective alarm output via the zero-voltage relay alarm contact

The freezer is equipped at the rear with a zero-voltage relay output (8), which permits the transmission of
alarms to an external monitoring system in order to monitor and record the alarm signals.

The zero-voltage relay alarm output switches immediately, as soon as the red LED
controller display. The zero-voltage relay alarm output switches for alarm instances listed in chap. 17.2
and in case of a power failure.

If the external alarm monitor is connected via the contacts C and NO, alarm monitoring will take place
with protection against short-circuiting, i.e., if the connection between the freezer and the external alarm
monitor is interrupted, an alarm is triggered. In this case, power failure will also trigger the alarm.

The alarm message on the controller display remains displayed during transmission of an alarm via the
zero-voltage relay outputs. As soon as the cause of the alarm is rectified, or the alarm message has been
reset with the “EXIT” key, the alarm transmission via the zero-voltage relay outputs is reset together with
the alarm message on the controller display.

In case of power failure, transmission of the alarm via zero-voltage relay outputs remains active for the
duration of the power failure. Afterwards, the contact closes automatically.

Connection to an external monitoring system

To ensure short-circuit-proof alarm monitoring that will trigger the alarm when the freezer is connected to
an external alarm monitor, connect the external alarm monitoring system to the freezer via the connection
socket (8) of the zero-voltage relay output.

Connection of the BINDER GSM box for remote alarms (option)

This option allows forwarding the alarm messages, which are transmitted via the zero-voltage relay alarm
contact, to the mobile network and to receive defined messages as a text message (SMS) on mobile
phones.

The installation and operation of the BINDER GSM box are described in the manual (Art.
