GENERAL
The
coldtainer
s has been designed for the professional temperature controlled
transport of limited volumes of perishable items, like food, pharmaceuticals,
biologicals.
The units are designed, if properly operated and connected to a suitable power
source, to maintain perishable items at a stable temperature during transport, as
a link of a “cold chain” system. Units are not designed to cool down or freeze or
heat up perishable items.
The units are not intended for sale-to and use-by end consumers. The sales of
Euroengel mobile fridges do not fall within the scope of Directive 1999/44/EC or
similar end users protection legislations.
SAFETY
• Before using the unit, read these operating instructions carefully, including all
information on operating safety, use and maintenance.
• Keep these operating instructions ready at hand and leave them with the unit,
so that all users can nd out about the functions and safety regulations. Every
user must be well acquainted with the operation of the appliance and with the
instructions concerning safety. Failure to observe these instructions can impair
the performance of the appliance and cause damage.
• All installation work and adjustments to the unit must only be carried out by
qualied personnel. Work performed by persons with insufcient technical
knowledge may adversely affect the performance of the unit or cause physical
injury or damage to the equipment.
• The unit must only be used by adults. Do not allow children to play with the
units or touch the controls.
• Do not place inammable liquids or gas bottles in the cool box. Danger of
explosion!
• For large containers: never lock anybody inside. Danger of suffocation!
• Pay attention on all moving parts when closing the door. Watch out not to hurt
your hands or ngers when operating the closing mechanism.
• Be aware of the full weight of the unit you are using. Use proper lifting
equipment in the case.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, always switch the refrigerator
off and disconnect the plug.
• The unit’s hermetic cooling system contains CFC free refrigerant gas (R134a or
R404A). Make sure to not damage the cooling system so to avoid leaks.

TECHNICAL NOTES
Specic versions with different internal temperature setting are available for each
container size, (ask for data sheet of single models for specic values):
• NDN: cooling function, internal temperature down to 0°C (with +32°C ambient)
NDH: automatic cooling / heating function, internal temperature from 0°C to
+30°C (with ambient temperature from -20°C to +32°C)
• NDH: automatic cooling / heating function, internal temperature from 0°C to
+30°C (with ambient temperature from -20°C to +32°C)
• FDN: freezer function, internal temperature down to -21°C (with +32°C ambient)
• FDH: automatic cooling / heating function, internal temperature from -21°C to
+30°C (with ambient temperature from -20°C to +32°C)
• XFDN: deep freezing, internal temperature down to -30°C or -35°C, according
to model (with +32°C ambient)
The
coldtainer
s operate via direct current compressors connected to a 12-24Vdc
or 12Vdc power source (according to model). The high quality SECOP BD series
direct current compressors used in the units are designed to withstand vibrations,
also in case of use in off-road conditions, and can work with an inclination of up
than 30°.The units shall be switched off if positioned at an angle of more than 30°.
After being returned to a level position, allow to rest for approximately 30 minutes
before switching on.
SECOP compressors have built-in protection systems against overload and start
failure, fan overload, reverse polarity, overheating. When overload protection is
activated, the compressor enters a cycle in which it attempts to start at approximately
60 second intervals until a successful start is achieved. When overheating protection
is activated (i.e. ambient temperature exceed ab. +55°C) the compressor will restart
automatically approximately 60 seconds after the temperature of the electronic has
cooled down to a safe value.
If a voltage outside the specied range is applied to the electronic unit, the
compressor does not start, or it stops if the voltage limit is exceeded during
operation. The compressor will restart automatically approximately 60 seconds
after the supply voltage has reached the reset voltage within the range in question.
If a fan is installed, it will start to operate without a delay as soon as the reset
voltage is reached.
Maximum operating ambient temperature is ab. +55°C (with degraded
performances). Minimum operating ambient temperature (for NDH and FDH
models) is -20°C.
The internal temperature displayed by the digital controller is the one sensed in the
vicinity of the probe area. The temperature in other points of the container can vary,
after stabilization, normally in a ± 2°C range.
The NDH and FDH versions have an internal fan for a better internal air distribution.
An “internal fan” kit is available as accessory for the NDN, FDN and XFDN versions.
Always pre-condition the internal temperature of the unit before use. Do not place
4
any hot item inside the unit, precool them rst.
IMPORTANT: the starting current of the larger BD compressor can reach 35A (12V).
To guarantee stable operations it is essential to connect the units to batteries of
proper Ah capacity.
In case of the larger freezer versions it is recommended to use batteries with no less
than 100Ah (with150A alternators) capacity.
In case of use of a too small Ah capacity battery, even if new and well charged, the
compressor would not start. This is valid also for connection of multiple units to a
same battery.
Eventually connect the unit to a proper capacity deep cycle service battery, using a
proper split charging system to connect it to the main battery.
Even if the plastic materials (PE) used for the production of the units are food grade,
it is always suggested to store food or other products in proper closed containers.
BEFORE USE
• The units should be placed in a dry location and should not be exposed to di-
rect sun light or any other heat source (e.g. radiator). Protect it against rain and
humidity. In case on use on a pick-up truck, always use a proper cargo cover to
protect the unit.
• Always make sure there is sufcient ventilation so that heat generated during
normal operation can dissipate. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered. Leave at least 50 mm. from top and around the unit to grant an adequate
ventilation.
• Always secure tightly the units f loaded on a vehicle, in order to prevent any
forward, side and backward movement during driving or while braking. Use
load straps, anchor points or other suitable restraints, properly homologated.
• Store the items within the fridge so that the air can circulate around the goods.
• Do not open the fridge more often than necessary and do not leave the
lid / door open for longer than necessary.
• Take care when transporting pharmaceuticals and biological products. Always
check if the temperature range of the fridge is adequate for the purpose.
• All servicing and repairs involving recharging of the cooling system must only
be carried out by a qualied customer service engineer.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, STANDARD MODELS
The
coldtainer
s can be operated connected to following direct current power
sources:
• 12Vdc or 24Vdc (the input voltage is automatically regulated by the electronic):

F0760/NDN, F0760/NDH, F0915/NDN, F0915/NDH.
• 12Vdc only:
T0082/XFDN, F0330/XFDN, F0720/FDN, F0720/FDH, F0760/FDN,
F0915/NDN, F0915/NDH, F0915/FDN, F0915/FDH, F1340/NDN, F1340/NDH,
F1640/NDN, F1640/NDH.
(In case of intended connection of above models to a 24V system always use
a DC/DC 24V to 12V voltage converter of proper Ah capacity. Over voltages
can damage the electronics.)
The 12Vdc nominal value means a voltage, measured at the terminals of the
electronic of the compressor from 9,6Vdc to 17,0Vdc.
The 24Vdc nominal value means a voltage, measured at the terminals of the
electronic of the compressor from 21,3Vdc to 31,5Vdc.
dC ConneCtors, fridge side
On all units quality Anderson Power DC input connectors are used.
• single DC red AP connector: T0022/FDN, T0022/FDH, T0032/FDN, T0032/FDH:
• two AP connectors, one red and one yellow: all other models. The red AP
connector is for the DC cord connection (12-24Vdc or 12Vdc only, according to
specic model data); the yellow AP connector is 12Vdc only, for connection to
an external AC-DC power supply (see specic voice hereunder).
dC Cords
A proper DC cord is included in the package of each fridge. The wires of the
included DC cord are of the right cross section requested for a proper operation
of the electronic. To prevent voltage drops and power losses, do not interrupt the
cord and avoid additional extensions, switches, plugs or socket strips.
The direct connection to the + and – terminals of the battery of the vehicle will
not interfere with the electric and/or network system with the vehicle itself. The
electronic of the compressors are protected against reverse polarity. See technical
data sheet for indication of DC cord provided in the scope of delivery of specic
versions.
On T0022/FDN, T0022/FDH, T0032/FDN, T0032/FDH a 2,5 mt DC cord with
cigarette plug is included (item 540010/01), to allow an easy use also on board of
passenger cars.
The cigarette plug is provided with sliding stoppers to be pushed inside the
12V outlet of the car to maintain a stable electrical connection. In case a direct
connection to the battery of the vehicle would be preferred, the 5 meter DC cord
to order is item 540011/01.
IMPORTANT: The DC cord 540010/01 with cigarette plug cannot be used with
other models, wires (included ones of onboard 12V outlets) are not of right size and
Ah capacity.
direCt ConneCtion to a dC battery
Connect the DC cord to the Coldtainer (red AP connectors) from one side and
6
directly to the + and – terminals of the battery from the other side (or to the 12V
outlet of the car, on applicable models).
The DC cords are fuse protected. Make sure that the fuse is in place. Also the DC
input connectors on the fridges are fuse protected. See technical data sheet for
fuse size.
optional - Use of the Coldtainer ConneCted to aC mains (100-240VaC 50/60 hz)
It is possible to operate your unit connected to the AC mains by the use of external
AC-DC power supplies of proper technical features, available as accessories. Three
models are available, with 150W, 300W and 600W rated power. Verify the right
model suggested for each model.
Note: the AC-DC power supplies are provided without the AC plug. It is
responsibility of the user to install a proper Country approved plug. Ask a qualied
personnel to do it.
The power supplies available as accessories have a worldwide input voltage (100240Vac 50/60Hz) and a constant 13Vdc output, are IP65 rated and CE and UL/CSA
certied. On the DC output line there is a yellow AP connector.
Connect the AC-DC power supply to the specic DC inlet (yellow AP connector)
on the fridge.
Both DC lines can be connected at same time. In this case the “yellow” line will
be the preferred power supply source. As soon as an internal relay will sense no
voltage coming from the “yellow” line it will reconnect the “red” line from battery.
On all models it is possible to fasten the power supplies in special receptacles
inside the silhouette of the containers (except T0022, T0032).
Note: T0022 and T0032 have a single red connector. To use that models with
the external 150W AC-DC power supply, a “red-yellow” connectors interface is
available as accessory.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, “AUTONOMOUS OPERATION” MODELS
The “Autonomous Operation” models are equipped as standard with internal
battery pack (single battery for the “Light Capacity” models, multiple battery pack
for the “High Capacity” models) and with a battery charger.
The “AuO” models are intended to operate fully independently, connected only
to their internal 12 power source. No connection to external DC power source is
provided. The internal battery protection will monitor the voltage of the battery
and eventually switch off the compressor.
ConneCtion to aC mains (100-240VaC 50/60 hz)
To recharge the internal battery pack, connect the battery charger to the AC mains
(100-240Vac 50/60Hz) and switch it on (by its own main switch). The battery will be
recharged with a proper charging curve.
With the battery charger connected to the AC mains and on it is possible at the
same time to operate the unit and to recharge the battery (with longer battery

BATTERY PROTECTION
All units are equipped with an integrated voltage monitor system. The system
measure the voltage at the input terminals of the compressor electronic (so be
aware of voltage drops) and then switches off automatically the compressor as soon
as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The unit will switch the compressor on
once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level (normally 1,3V
higher than the cut-out value).
The cut-off / cut-in pair of values are factory preset. See the technical data for the
values for each model.
Please note that the protection circuit will disconnect only the compressor.
Thermostat and fan will remain connected, draining a small amount of power from
the battery.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
The SECOP electronics used in the units ave a built-in self-diagnostic program.
On models with BD50F and BD80F compressors, if there is a detectable error then
the red LED light positioned nearby the display of the electronic thermostat will
ash 1 to 5 times and repeat the pattern, showing the possible reason of the stop of
the operation. 1 ash of the red LED light means that the battery voltage is below
the cut/out setting. Check the source battery for proper operation and sufcient
voltage output. If power source is adequate then check wire sizes and conditions
of the connectors to avoid voltage drops.
On models with BD220CL compressors, it is possible to set all working parameters
and access the self-diagnostic info via a gateway connection to a personal computer
with the Tool4CoolÆ SECOP software.
11
OPTIONAL – USE OF HACCP / BLUETOOTH MODULE
EVconnect is an easy solution that helps to easily get HACCP temperature and to
manage the temperature alarms.
EVconnect is made of the EVLINK, a memory an transmission module (provided
with 16Mb memory, real time clock and Bluetooth 4.0 transmission module) and of
the EVconnect App for Android 4.4 devices.
EVLINK is available as an accessory and the App is freely downloadable on Google
Play (an Apple version is under development).
This solution is capable of storing at least one year of recordings, that the user
can download via Bluetooth into a smartphone or tablet without losing data.
Temperature graph is immediately available as far as the possibility of send via
e-mail the information as image or .csv le for Excel (r).
The EVLINK module should be connected to the EVCO thermostat using the TTL
port on the side of the same. Do not try to extend the wirings. For full installation
and use instructions see the notes provided with the EVLINK.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect any electrical connection before you clean and service the units.
Clean the unit before rst time use and at regular intervals thereafter.
IMPORTANT: do not wet the electronic components, are not water proof!
Use only neutral (food safe) cleaning agents. Never use aggressive or caustic
cleaning agents, scouring powder, steel wool, abrasive sponges or chemical
solvents. Never use brushes, scouring pads or hard or pointed tools to remove ice
or to loosen objects which have frozen in place
The use of a high pressure cleaner and/or steam jet is strictly forbidden.
Clean the unit (inside and outside) with a neutral detergent, rinse with lukewarm
water and dry it before any long term storage unplugged.
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device. This reduces the
cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this. Wipe off the melted
water with a damp cloth.
