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.
