Service
The temperature controller and evaporator probe indicate when the refrigeration system is required to turn on
andoff.
The refrigeration system removes heat from the cabinet interior and rejects it to the surrounding room air. When
the evaporator probe temperature reaches 5.0 C (9.0 F) above the controller set point, the probe signals the
controller to turn the refrigeration system on. The normally open controller contacts close and energize the
condenser fan motor and compressor. The compressor uses a current-style starting relay and a starting capacitor
to start the compressor motor.
When the evaporator temperature falls to 5.0 C (9.0 F) below the set point, the probe signals the controller to turn
the refrigeration system off. The controller contacts reopen, which de-energizes the condenser fan motor and the
compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs continuously.
Any accumulated frost on the evaporator coils melts during the off cycle. The condensate drains to a drain
pan mounted in the base of the refrigeration unit. The pan is located under the compressor. The heat from the
compressor, condenser and fan evaporates any condensate in the drain pan as well as providing preliminary
cooling of the high pressure vapor prior to entering the condenser.
Refrigeration system
The REF20/25 series refrigeration system is designed to give many years of trouble-free service. Except for
routine cleaning of the air-cooled condenser and related parts, the refrigeration system requires no service or
maintenance. The system uses a capillary tube metering device and is critically charged. Access ttings are not
provided. Temporary piercing valves are required to work on the refrigeration system. Follett recommends that if
hoses are ever connected to the refrigeration system for service, the refrigerant should be recovered, permanent
access valves should be installed and the system evacuated, and recharged by weighing in the correct refrigerant
charge.
Note: Do not charge the system by pressures.

Controller operation
ATTENTION
BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO FACTORY-DEFAULT REFRIGERATION
SETTINGS, CONTACT FACTORY.
The controller displays product temperatures in degrees C or F (C is factory default) to 1 decimal point.
The controller is pre-programmed with a 0.5 C (32.9 F) set point which provides a compressor cut-in at 5.5 C
(41.9 F) evaporator coil temperature and cut-out at -4.5 C (23.9 F) evaporator coil temperature. This will correlate
to a product temperature of approximately 4.0 C (39.2 F).
All set points have a 5 C (9.0 F) differential. The 5.0 C (9.0 F) differential means that with a 0.5 C (32.9 F) set
point, for example, the compressor will turn off at -4.5 C (23.9 F) evaporator temperature and turn on when the
evaporator temperature reaches 5.5C (41.9 F).
Product temperature will be displayed on the digital temperature display and chart recorder (if equipped).

Facade removal
The facade is removed by loosening the top left and right Phillips screws
on the back of the facade to allow the securing clips to rotate away from
the side panels. The facade can simply pull off of the front by pulling it
out of the bayonet mounts that secure it to the upper left and right panels.
If the facade will be completely removed, the electrical plugs should be
disconnected. The ground wire should be removed from the top right
grounding screw on the cabinet box, not from the facade (Fig.70.1).
