Environmental Management Policy for Service Manuals and Duets.

Product Support and Installation Contractors

Foster Refrigerator recognises that its activities, products and services can have an adverse impact upon the environment. The organisation is committed to implementing systems and controls to manage, reduce and eliminate its adverse environmental impacts wherever possible, and has formulated an Environmental Policy outlining our core aims. A copy of the Environmental Policy is available to all contractors and suppliers upon request.

The organisation is committed to working with suppliers and contractors where their activities have the potential to impact upon the environment. To achieve the aims stated in the Environmental Policy we require that all suppliers and contractors operate in compliance with the law and are committed to best practice in environmental management.

Product Support and Installation contractors are required to:

1. Ensure that wherever possible waste is removed from the client‟s site, where arrangements are in place all

waste should be returned to Foster Refrigerator‟s premises. In certain circumstances waste may be

disposed of on the client‟s site; if permission is given, if the client has arrangements in place for the type of

waste.

2. If arranging for the disposal of your waste, handle, store and dispose of it in such a way as to prevent its escape into the environment, harm to human health, and to ensure the compliance with the environmental law. Guidance is available from the Environment Agency on how to comply with the waste management „duty of care‟.

3. The following waste must be stored of separately from other wastes, as they are hazardous to the environment: refrigerants, polyurethane foam, and oils.

4. When arranging for disposal of waste, ensure a waste transfer note or consignment note is completed as appropriate. Ensure that all waste is correctly described on the waste note and include the appropriate sixdigit code from the European Waste Catalogue. Your waste contractor or Foster can provide further information if necessary.

5. Ensure that all waste is removed by a registered waste carrier, a carrier in possession of a waste management licence, or a carrier holding an appropriate exemption. Ensure the person receiving the waste at its ultimate destination is in receipt of a waste management licence or valid exemption.

6. Handle and store refrigerants in such a way as to prevent their emission to atmosphere, and ensure they are disposed of safely and in accordance with environmental law.

7. Make arrangements to ensure all staff who handle refrigerants do so at a level of competence consistent with the City Guilds 2078 Handling Refrigerants qualification or equivalent qualification.

8. Ensure all liquid substances are securely stored to prevent leaks and spill, and are not disposed of to

storm drains, foul drain, or surface water to soil.

Disposal Requirements

If not disposed of properly all refrigerators have components that can be harmful to the environment. All old

refrigerators must be disposed of by appropriately registered and licensed waste contractors, and in accordance

with national laws and regulations.

Foster Prep Station Descriptions

The range consists of 2 to 5 door models with a storage capacity ranging from 270 to 720 litres. The cabinets are manufactured as a one piece foam shell with easy clean stainless steel exterior All conform to current legislation and exceed the Montreal protocol using zero ODP refrigerants and insulation. The temperature is controlled by a LAE microprocessor control with digital temperature display. Easy accessible condensing unit fitted at the rear for ease of servicing. The standard refrigeration system is integral with an air-cooled condensing unit with the refrigerant distribution into the evaporator controlled by capillary. The cooled air is circulated through the evaporator, via the fan into the storage area. Coated coils prevent corrosion and prolong refrigeration life. Easy to read temperature display with wipe clean finish. Wide magnetic gasket giving a positive door seal.

Display

During normal operation the display shows either the temperature measured or one of the following indicators:

Information Menu

The information available in the menu is shown below:

* Displayed only if enabled (see configuration parameters) ** Displayed only if ACC > 0

User Functions Start Sequence

For normal operation

Press and hold the button for 3 seconds then release.

If pressed and held for 5 seconds then released this will start the „Test Sequence‟. The test function is a defined sequence of events that will follow a prescribed pattern (dependent upon

parameter values). In turn it will operate all electrical elements of the system, simulating a short operating pattern. This was designed to provide a quick and simple evaluation tool to use either during manufacturing or when servicing.

To cancel the Test Sequence

Press and release the button during the test sequence. If not pressed the test will continue and when complete the controller will wait for 1 min, then resume normal operation. (The controller will count to 530 then show „end‟. It will then show the current unit temperature)

Access to the menu and information displayed

Press and immediately release button

With button or select the data to be displayed

Press button to display the value

To exit from the menu, press button or wait for 10 seconds.

Set point: Display and modification

Press button for at least half a second to display the set point.

Standby

When pressing the button for 3 seconds, will allow the controller to be put on a standby or output control to be resumed (with SB = YES only). When on Standby will be displayed.

Selection of second parameter group

It is possible to select control parameters between two different pre-programmed groups, in order for the fundamental control parameters to be adapted to changing needs. Changeover from Group I to Group II (and

visa versa) may take place Manually by pressing for 2 seconds (with IISM = MAN), or Automatically when heavy duty conditions are detected (with IISM = HDD), or when IISM =D12 and the Auxiliary Input D12 is activated (the activation of D12 selects Group II). If IISM = NON, switchover to Group II is inhibited. The activation of Group II is signalled by the lighting up of relevant LED on the controller display.

Defrost

Automatic Defrost.

Defrost starts automatically as soon as the time set with parameter DFT has elapsed.

Time Defrost With DFM = TIM defrost takes place at regular intervals when the timer reaches the value

DFT. For example, with DFM = TIM and DFT = 06, a defrost will take place every 6 hours.

Defrost time count backup At the power–up, if DFB = YES, the defrost timer resumes the time count

from where it was left off before the power interruption. Visa versa with DFB=NO, the time count restarts from 0. In stand-by the accumulated time count is frozen.

Defrost type

Once defrost has started, compressor and defrost outputs are controlled according to parameter DTY. If FID =YES, the evaporator fans are active during defrost.

Resuming Thermostatic Cycle

When defrost is over, if DRN is greater then 0, all outputs will remain off the DRN minutes, in order for the ice to melt completely and the resulting water to drain.

Manual Defrost

To initiate a manual defrost press and hold the defrost button for 2 seconds.

Fuzzy Logic.

This setting is not available with any of these units.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Compressor will not start

No voltage in socket

Use voltmeter to check

Electrical conductor or wires may be cut

Use ohmmeter to check for continuity

Defective electrical component: thermostat, relay, thermal protector etc

Replace defective component

Compressor motor has a winding open or shorted

Measure ohmic resistance of main and auxiliary winding using ohmmeter. Compare with correct values

Compressor stuck

Change compressor

Temperature control contacts are open

Repair or replace the contacts

Incorrect wiring

Check wiring diagram and correct

Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped.

Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker

Power cord unplugged

Plug in power cord.

Controller set too high

Set controller to lower temperature.

Cabinet in defrost cycle

Wait for defrost cycle to finish

The temperature is too cold

Controller is set at a very cold position

Set to warmer position and check if the compressor stops according to controllers operating range.

Controller does not disconnect the condensing unit

Check the insulation of the thermostat. If problem persists, change the thermostat

Control contacts are stuck closed

Change the control. Check amperage load

Defective or incorrect temperature control

Determine correct control and replace.

The temperature is not cold enough

Controller is set at a very warm position

Adjust to colder setting

Condenser is dirty

Clean condenser

The refrigerator has been placed at an inadequate location

The unit must not be near stoves, walls that are exposed to the sun, or places that lack sufficient air flow.

Compressor is inefficient or there is a high pressure due to the air in the system

If there is air in the system, purge and recharge

Iced up evaporator coil

Check temperature control, refrigerant charge, and defrost mechanism. Remove all ice manually and start over.

Restriction in system

Locate exact point of restriction and correct

The refrigerator has been used improperly

The shelves must never be covered with any type of plastic or other material that will block the circulation of cold air within the refrigerator.

Too many door openings

Advise user to decrease if possible

Excessive heat load placed in cabinet

Advise user not to put in products that are too hot.

The refrigerator has been overcharged with the refrigerant gas

Check to see if condensation or ice crystals have formed on the suction line. If so, charge with the correct amount of gas.

20

The refrigerant gas is leaking

Find the location of gas leak in order to seal and replace the defective component. Change the drier. Perform a good vacuum and recharge unit.

The evaporator and/or condenser fans are not working

Check electrical connections and make

sure that the fan blade isn‟t stuck. Replace the fan motor if it doesn‟t

work.

Blocking air flow

Re-arrange product to allow for proper air flow. Make sure there is at least four inches of clearance from evaporator.

Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped

Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.

Electrical Shocks

Wires or electrical components are in direct contact with metallic parts.

Check for appropriate insulation on the connections of each component.

Noise

The refrigerator is not properly levelled

Check if the noise goes away after you level the refrigerator

The condenser is not fastened correctly. Copper tubing is in contact with metal

While the compressor is working, check to see if metal parts are in contact with one another and/or if the screws that fasten the condenser are tightened.

The evaporator and/or condenser fans are loose

Check if the fans are securely fastened. Also, check if the fan blades are loose, broken or crooked. If so, change the faulty blade.

Compressor has an internal noise

If the noise persists after all other measures have been taken, it may be originating from the compressor.

Loose part(s)

Locate and tighten loose part(s)

Extreme condensation inside the refrigerator

Controller is set at a very cold position

Set the controller to a warmer position & check to see if compressor stops as should.

The outside environment‟s relative

humidity is very high (over 75%)

This type of occurrence is caused by local climatic conditions and not by the refrigeration unit.

The refrigerator door wont shut completely

Check the door and/or the magnetic gasket. Adjust the door hinges if needed; replace the gasket if broken.

The refrigerator had been placed at an inadequate location

The unit must not be near sources that produce too much heat.

No illumination (Glass door models only)

The light switch is “off” position

Press the light switch to “on” position

False contact on the light switch, the fluorescent tube, or the ballast

Inspect all connections

Light switch, ballast and/or fluorescent tube are damaged

Replace the damaged component.

Condensing unit runs for long periods of time

Excessive amount of warm product placed in cabinet

Advise user to leave adequate time for products to cool down

Prolonged door opening or door ajar

Advise user to ensure doors are closed when not in use and to avoid opening doors for long periods of time.

Door gasket(s) not sealing properly

Ensure gaskets are snapped in completely. Remove gasket and wash with soap and water. Check condition of gasket & replace if necessary

21

Dirty condenser coil

Clean condenser coil

Evaporator coil iced over

Unplug unit and allow coil to defrost. Make sure thermostat is not set too cold. Ensure that door gasket(s) are sealing properly. Select manual defrost and ensure system works.
