SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To prevent personal injury, injury to others, or damage to property, read these safety precautions carefully before use.

• Do not disassemble, modify or repair. There are no user serviceable parts inside the

covers.

• Do not immerse in water or pour water on the unit.

• Do not put ice or liquid water directly in the freezer box, always use suitable containers.

• Do not use glass containers when the contents might freeze and break.

• Do not store flammable items such as gasoline, thinner, or solvents in the freezer. The

freezer is NOT rated as an explosion proof freezer.

• Do not remove any frost or ice which has accumulated on the inside of the freezer using

hard and/or sharp objects, such as knives, screwdrivers, etc. The inside panels are heat exchangers and can be damaged.

• Do not cut, change or modify the power cable.

• When removing the plug, hold onto the plug and not the cord.

• Do not block the air intake or air discharge vents.

• Do not drop, throw, or abuse the freezer.

• Do not operate under extreme environmental conditions, such as in a car trunk, in very

high humidity environments, in rain or other severe weather.

• Do not use solvents to clean the panel or the outside or inside of the freezer.

• An Ultra Low Temperature Freezer is qualitatively different than a home freezer. At -80º

C frostbite can occur in seconds

• . You should establish and follow a protocol for safe ULT operating procedures. This

should include (but not limited to):

 Never handle samples or freezer accessories with bare hands.  Do not use gloves which become brittle at ultra low temperatures

 Nitrile and latex gloves are inadequate

 Liquid permeable gloves are dangerous because ULT liquids can be held against the skin

and increase the amount of damage.

 Be especially careful that liquids at ULT are not spilled onto skin or clothing.  Use only sample containers that have been approved or tested for ULT use.  Some plastics shatter at Ultra Low Temperatures. Avoid splinter hazards.  Biological and Chemical Hazards are still hazardous at ULT. Always wear

proper protective equipment and follow appropriate isolation protocols.

 Many types of labels will fall off and/or break at ULT. Some types of ink which

stick to glass and/or plastic at room temperature lose adhesion at ULT.

• In addition to the ULT hazards above, there are also physical hazards to consider:

 Be cautious when closing the lid to avoid a pinching hazard.  Be careful when loading the box with heavy items.  Always use the handles to carry the freezer.

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

1. Remove the freezer and all accessories from the box. Carefully inspect the freezer and

all accessories for any shipping damage.

2. The following items are included;

¤ ULT25 Freezer with inner foam lid ¤ User Manual on CD ¤ SS-18 AC Power Supply with cord ¤ Warranty Registration ¤ 12V DC Power Cord (for auto accessory plug) ¤ Bag with stoppers for access port ¤ Key for lock ¤ Bag with sealing material for access port

3. Place the freezer on a level surface.

4. Make sure that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked

5. Connect to a power source. The freezer can be used with either the AC Power Supply

for lab, home or office use, or the DC Power Cord for automotive use.

a. To use the AC Power Supply:

i. Connect the square plugs on the end of the cord to the power supply as shown.

Securely tighten the terminal screw against the pin using a flat screwdriver.

ii. Be certain to observe the correct polarity.

Failure to do so may harm the freezer.

iii. Plug the black and red connectors into the

ULT25.

iv. Plug the AC Power Supply cord into a 115 volt

AC source. To use with a 220-240 V supply, the red switch on the AC Power Supply must be moved to the 230 V position.

v. Turn on the power supply

b. To use the DC Power Cord in a motor vehicle:

i. Make sure the freezer remains level. Exceeding

an angle of 12 degrees may cause loss of cooling.

ii. Plug the DC Power Cord into a 12V outlet that is rated at 18 amps or greater.

Consult your automotive specialist if your vehicle lacks 18+ A rated 12V outlets.

iii. Plug the black and red connectors into the ULT25.

6. NOTES ON OPERATION IN A VEHICLE a. The ULT25 will operate on battery power for a limited time before the battery is

drained and the car cannot be started. This time will vary from vehicle to vehicle but is generally only a few hours.

b. The engine should be running to prevent accidental total discharge of the battery. c. The power to 12V outlets in some vehicles may be interrupted during engine

starting. This will cause a sudden stop of the cooling unit which may produce a sound that is different than when the turning off the ULT25 by using the OFF button. This is normal and will not damage the cooling unit. The cooling unit will restart automatically once power resumes.

d. Do not operate the ULT25 an unattended in a vehicle. This may lead to overheating

if left in the sun and subsequent damage to stored contents

Page 5

7. Disconnecting from power a. Turn off the freezer (see OPERATION section below)

i. The 7-segment display will show the word “OFF” while the FPSC turns off.

ii. Unplug the freezer after the word “OFF” disappears and the display goes dark.

iii. If you unplug the freezer while it is ON, you will hear a sudden noise when the

FPSC shuts OFF. Power outages will also cause the same noise.

OPERATION

General Operating Principles

Important changes to the freezer settings require sustained button pushes. This helps prevent accidental changes to the settings during transportation. Some sequences require a 3 second button press and hold while other sequences require a 5 second button press and hold.

For example,

Turning the freezer ON requires a 3 second press and hold (two beeps) Turning the freezer OFF requires a 5 second press and hold (three beeps)

The default display is the chamber temperature. Other displays such as Set Point, Alarm Postpone, etc., are marked with a letter such as S (set point), h (alarm postpone), etc. These secondary displays revert to the default display after approximately 8 seconds of button inactivity.

How to Turn the Freezer On/Off

To turn the freezer on

o Press and hold the I/O button for two beeps (~3 seconds) o The freezer will display a greeting message, and then the chamber temperature

To turn the freezer off

o Press and hold the I/O button for three beeps (~5 seconds) o The freezer will display “OFF” for 10 seconds, and then go dark.

Changing the set temperature

To see the current set temperature

Press the Set T button briefly The current set temperature will be displayed with the letter S ##

o After 8 seconds of inactivity the display will revert to the current temp

Change the Set Point to a new value

There two ways to change the Set Point

o Manually adjusting the temperature using  /  o Using one of three adjustable Preset Buttons

Adjusting the Set Point manually

o Because of the importance of the Set Point Temperature, changing the Set Point

requires a “two button procedure”. This means:

 Method A - either holding the Set T button while simultaneously

pressing  /  -- OR

 Method B - holding down Set T until the Set T LED glows and then

pressing  / .

 Methods A and B achieve the same effect. The user can use whichever

method they prefer.

Page 9

To change the set Set Point by method A

o Press and hold the Set T button and then push the  /  buttons (do not

release the Set T button).

 The Set Point temperature will appear with the prefix S in the 7-segment

display.

 When the  /  buttons are pushed the Set Point will change by 1º C.

at first

 If the  /  buttons are held for 5 seconds the step size will increase to

5º C.

 If the  /  buttons are briefly released (less than ½ second) while

continuing to hold down the Set T button the increment/decrement size will return to 1º C.

 Release all buttons once the desired Set Point is achieved. The display

will return to chamber temperature after about 8 seconds.

To change the Set Point by method B

o Press and hold the Set T button until the Set T LED is lit.

 The Set Point temperature will appear with the letter S in the first 7-

segment display.

o The  /  buttons can be used to change the Set Point.

 When the  /  buttons are pushed the Set Point will change by 1º C.

at first

 If the  /  buttons are held for 5 seconds the step size will increase to

5º C.

 If you briefly release (a half second) the  /  buttons while

continuing to hold down the SET button the increment/decrement size will return to 1º C.

 Release the /  buttons once the desired Set Point is achieved.

o Press the Set T button briefly (less than 1 second) to turn off the Set T LED.

The display will return to chamber temperature.

Using Preset Temperatures

The three buttons labeled 1, 2 and 3 can be used to quickly change the Set Point to

frequently used values. When shipped the Presets are set to -80º C, -40º C, and -20º C.

They can be set to any preferred values (see next section).

To choose one of the preset temperatures:

o Press and hold the Set T button until the Set T LED glows o Push one of the Preset Temperature buttons briefly o The new set temperature will be shown in the 7-segment display o If this is the desired Set Temperature the user can either:

 Briefly press the Set T button to turn off the Set T LED OR  Wait for approximately 8 seconds when the freezer panel will return to

normal operation

Page 10

Changing the preset values

Many users will have protocols that specify temperatures such as -75º C, etc. The

Preset buttons allow users to quickly change the Set Point to those temperatures.

Changing the preset value does not change the Set Point itself. Only the value of the

preset is being changed. This means the Set T button is NOT pressed for this

procedure.

Press and hold one of the PRESET TEMPERATURE buttons

o Use the  /  buttons to change the value of the preset button.

 This value will be saved even if the freezer is turned off or powered off.

To change the Set Point to this new Preset value follow the instructions in the previous

section.

Min and Max Temperature

The freezer remembers the highest and lowest temperatures since being turned on or

since the min/max was last reset (min initially reads 0 until chamber T falls below 0).

o Do not use Set Temperature mode (The Set T LED should be off) o Press  () briefly to see the Min (Max) temperature o To reset the Min/Max memory, simultaneously press both  and 

Over Temperature Alarm

The freezer has an adjustable over and under Temperature Alarm mode. This alarm

can be activated whenever the freezer is on, even when the panel is locked.

o If T

If the freezer compartment temperature is 10º warmer or colder

than the set point for 5 seconds then it will go into Temperature Alarm mode.

o The Over T light will go on (this is used for under temperature alarms as

o The freezer will make a double beep every 10 seconds. o Situations which can affect the freezer’s ability to maintain a steady state or

How to silence the audible Temperature Alarm

The Over T light will always be on when the cooler temp is over or under the set temp

by more than 10º C

The audible alarm can be silenced in two different ways

o Postponed - The audible alarm will be silenced for an adjustable time period. o Silenced – it will be off until it is manually reset or the freezer is turned

To postpone an Alarm

When the audible alarm is sounding it can be postponed Press and hold the button beneath the Over T LED until a time is displayed… it will

look like ###h which represents a decimal fraction of an hour -- 1.0 h is the default.

The audible alarm will be turned off for the amount of time shown If you wish to change the amount of time before the audible alarm is armed again,

o Continue to press and hold button 3 under the Over T LED o While holding button 3, push the  /  buttons to change the delay by 0.1 h

increments. If the button is held for approximately 5 seconds the time will begin to change by 1.0 h increments.

How to change the Over (Under) Temperature Allowance

The Over T LED is lit whenever the chamber temperature is either higher or lower

than the set point by an “allowance” (

is 10º C. For Example - if the Set Point is -60º and the default allowance is used, then

the Over T alarm occurs at T>-50º or T<-70º. This allowance can be changed from 1º

C to 50º C.

o Small values ensure tight temperature control during long storage. o Large values can be used to reduce the number of Over Temperature alarms

when the freezer is being open and closed frequently.

This can only be changed when the Over T LED is glowing.

o To view the allowance

 Press both buttons 2 and 3 briefly to see the current allowance setting.

• It will be display with the letter A, such as A 10.

o To change the allowance

 Press and hold both buttons 2 and 3 and then  /   The allowance value will change by 1 degree increments

o To dismiss the allowance display

 Either press and hold both buttons 2 and 3 briefly, OR  The display times-out after approximately 8 seconds.

). The factory default

To Silence the Temperature Alarm

Press the button beneath the Over T indicator light until the display shows 1.0 h, then

use the down button to set the time to any negative time (e.g. -0.1 h). This will turn

OFF the audible alarm.

The Over T indicator LED will always glow whenever the chamber T is out of range. You can turn the silenced alarm back on by either

o Resetting the postpone time to a positive number o Turning the freezer OFF and ON

Page 12

Error conditions

Certain conditions will cause an Error Code to be displayed on the 7-segment display,

and the Error LED will be lit.

o The error code will be of the form E ##, where ## is the error code. o The error code will be displayed for about 5 seconds and then the display will

return to showing the chamber temperature. The Error LED will stay on.

o The error code can be recalled by briefly pressing the button under the Error

LED. This will recall the error code for approximately 10 seconds.

o If button 2 is pressed and held for 5 seconds (three beeps) this will clear both

the 7-segment display and the Error LED. However, if the error condition persists the error cycle will start over again.

Locking the Panel

To Lock the freezer panel

Press and hold buttons 1, 2 and 3 until the freezer beeps three times

o The Locked indicator LED will light up o You cannot Lock the panel if there is an over temperature or error condition

To Unlock the freezer panel

Press and hold buttons 1, 2 and 3 until the freezer beeps three times

o The Locked indicator LED will go turn off o The freezer will still indicate over temperature alarms or error conditions while

it is locked. You have to unlock the panel to handle those alarms/conditions.

How to switch between power supplies

There are several possible power sources for the ULT-25:

o GC provided SS-18 13.8 V power supply o Automobile accessory plug (cigarette lighter)

When changing from one power supply to another you should first stop the ULT-25.

o Turn OFF the ULT-25 (Press and hold the I/O button) o Wait for the FPSC to slow and stop (15 seconds). o Unplug the ULT-25 from one power source and plug it into the next. o The ULT-25 can be restarted immediately. There is no need to wait, unlike

some compressor systems.

o Turn ON the ULT-25 by pressing and holding the I/O button.

Page 13

Error Codes

These are displayed in the 7-segment display as E ##

10 The FPSC is not maintaining a working temperature on the heat rejection fins. This could

arise from blocked filters, blocked air passages, unusually hot ambient temperatures (for

example >45º C), or a fan failure. Check air passages and clear any blockages to good air

circulation. Remove from hot environments (car interiors, etc).

11 The problem described in error code 10 has become critical. The freezer has stopped

freezing in order to prevent damage to temperature sensitive parts. Please perform the

maintenance described above before restarting the freezer.

20 This error code may arise from a simple sensor failure or a more complex failure of the

controlling board. The FPSC may be overheating. Continued operation of the freezer to

protect samples may result in damage to the FPSC. Please return for repair.

21 This error code may arise from a simple sensor failure or a more complex failure of the

controlling board. The freezer has entered a maximum cooling mode which has no

temperature regulation. If the problem is more than simple sensor failure the freezer might

not maintain an ultra low temperature. Continued use has risks – no chamber temperature

control, possible damage to the FPSC, etc. Please return for repair.

30 Input voltage too high. Check the input voltage, and reduce to acceptable input levels.

Continued operation of the freezer may result in damage to the electronic controls. The

operation of the FPSC protects the electronics to some extent by dropping the voltage. If the

FPSC is turned OFF using the panel then the complete over voltage is put across the

electronics. If you decide to stop using the freezer then unplug the freezer from the voltage

source rather than using the I/O button to turn it OFF. This may cause it to make a noise

when the linear motor stops suddenly – the noise does not signal that damage has occurred.

31 Input voltage slightly low. Check the input voltage, and increase to acceptable input levels.

Check seating of plugs, wiring, etc. The freezer will continue to operate with decreased

performance.

32 Input voltage too low. Check the input voltage, and increase to acceptable input levels.

Check seating of plugs, wiring, etc. The electronics can operate but the FPSC will not

provide significant cooling when the voltage is too low.

40 A component which monitors FPSC performance has failed. The FPSC cannot regulate

itself. Please return for repair.

90 An electronics memory problem has occurred which might cause loss of set point data

between uses. Please return for repair.
