PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Inspection for Shipping Damage

You are responsible for filing all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons
and crates for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage is noted to shipping crates, cartons, or if a
shortage is found, note this on the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.

If damage is discovered when the case is uncrated, immediately call the delivering truck line and
follow up the call with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an
immediate inspection of your concealed damage item. Crating material must be retained to show
the inspector from the truck line.

GENERAL ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING

DANGER: Improper or faulty hookup of electrical components in the

display case can result in severe injury or death.

Permanent Connected (OPTION)

-Only a licensed electrician must perform all case electrical connections.

-All electrical wiring hookups must be done in accordance with all applicable local, regional, or national
electrical standards.

-A separate circuit for each display case is required to prevent other appliances on the same circuit from
overloading the circuit and causing malfunction.

-The electrical service must be grounded upon installation.

-See the electrical data plate located at the rear of the case for proper circuit size and wire ampacity.

-The electrical connection box is accessible from the rear of the case with rear grill removed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Locating Display Case

The case should be located where it is not subjected to the direct rays of the sun, heating ducts, grills,
radiator, or ceiling fans, nor should it be located near open doors or main door entrances. Also, avoid
locations where there are excessive air movement or air disturbances.

The case requires a minimum of 12” clearance at the rear of the unit for air discharge. Do not locate case
with back tight against the wall.

No clearance is needed on sides of the unit.

Removing Case From Shipping Skid and General Installation

CAUTION:

door frames and do not pull on end panels when removing the case
from the skid or moving the case. Case damage or glass breakage will result.

1. Remove crate top and sides and note missing or damaged items as explained in the pre-installation

procedures outlined above.

2. Move the case as near as possible to the final location and before removing it from the shipping skid.

3. Remove the (4) brackets that secure the case to the shipping skid.

4. Prepare cabinet according to instructions in this section that pertain to your model.

5. Lift the case off of skid and into required position. Only lift the case from under the rear lip and front

bottom trim channel above the base. Note: Do not push or pull on front bottom trim channel.

6. The case must be level for proper drainage of defrost condensate to the condensate evaporator. Using

the wrench provided level and square the case as needed by adjusting the leg leveler in each corner of
base. The 6’cases also have a set of leg levelers in the center. These must be adjusted so the base is flat.

7. The leveled case must be sealed to the floor using a NSF Listed Sealant.

Do not push or pull against the top end glass, or

Cleaning

For initial setup, clean the case as outlined in the “Weekly Cleaning” section of this manual.

REFRIGERATION

Self Contained Models Use pressure gauges to set pressure control.

Low Pressure Switch Cut Out 51 psi 48 psi 45 psi 51 psi
High Pressure Switch Cut Out 400 psi

TXV Setting (turns from full open)
(Turn screw counter clockwise to stop
for full open position)

The self-contained models are shipped from the factory with a completely operational 404A refrigeration
system and require no modifications or adjustments upon installation. Case must be installed as per the
installation section of this manual to provide proper condensing air cooling.

Self Contained Refrigeration Operation

The unit temperature is controlled by the low pressure side of a dual high/low pressure switch. The
compressor will run until either the minimum run timer times out (approx 10 min) or the suction pressure
reaches the set cut out point at which time the compressor turns off. The compressor will remain off until
the suction pressure rises and reaches the set cut in point of the pressure switch at which time the
compressor turns on.
Note: The condenser fan runs continuously.
This unit also has a defrost timer that will shut the compressor off a set number of times per day to insure a
full defrost occurs. The compressor will remain off until the either the off time is reached or until the
temperature sensor on the coil reaches a set temperature which ever happens first.

Remote Models Use pressure gauges to set pressure control.

Remote Models

The remote models are designed to use 404A refrigerant and shipped from the factory with the evaporator
coil, expansion valve, drier filter, sight glass and refrigerant solenoid valve. A thermostat senses evaporator
temperature and opens and closes the refrigerant solenoid valve. The solenoid valve closes and shuts off the
refrigeration flow to the unit and initiates a pump down cycle. This will allow the remote low pressure
switch to open and shut off remote compressor. The temperature control may require some adjustment by

- 7 -

installer for proper operation of unit. This unit also has a defrost timer that will shut the refrigeration
solenoid off a set number of times per day (set at factory for 3 times per day) to insure a full defrost occurs.
The solenoid will remain off until the either the off time is reached or until the temperature sensor on the
coil reaches a set temperature which ever happens first

The condensing unit is optionally supplied from the factory for remote location installation. The
condensing unit supplied from the factory will include a high low pressure switch that must be mounted
and wired by the installer. The high low pressure switch must be wired in series with the compressor power
supply as shown in diagram below. If the factory is not providing the condensing unit a high/low pressure
switch will need to be supplied by installer and installed by installer.

1. Mount condensing unit indoors as close to the remote display case as practical. The refrigeration line

should be as short as possible and must not exceed 30 feet.

2. All refrigeration and/or electrical materials between the condensing unit and display case are to be

supplied by installing contractor.

3. Route properly sized and designed refrigeration lines from the condensing unit to the cabinet.

Horizontal suction lines should be pitched downward towards the condensing unit at least ½” per 10’
run to aid the oil drainage. A “P” trap must be installed in the suction line at the foot of every riser to
insure oil return. Dry nitrogen must be used to flow through tubing while brazing refrigeration lines.

4. Suction line must be insulated the entire length with Armaflex (or equivalent). Do not run liquid line

inside insulation with suction line.

5. The remote high/low-pressure control must be mounted, wired and set pressures by the installer.

6. Leak check condensing unit, cabinet, and all connecting tubing. Cabinet and condensing unit tubing

should be checked to insure no leaks occurred during shipping or from rough handling.
Make certain all refrigeration valves are opened and evacuate system to 500 microns. Charge the
system with refrigerant type specified on the data plates.
