Refrigerator Instructions for Use
1.5 Avoiding Injury
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Review safety instructions before installing, using, or maintaining the equipment.
♦ Before moving unit, ensure door is closed and casters are unlocked and free of debris.
♦ Before moving unit, disconnect the AC power cord and secure the cord.
♦ Never physically restrict any moving component.
♦ Avoid removing electrical service panels and access panels unless so instructed.
♦ Keep hands away from pinch points when closing the door.
♦ Avoid sharp edges when working inside the electrical compartment and refrigeration compartment.
♦ Ensure products are stored at recommended temperatures determined by standards, literature, or good
laboratory practices.
♦ Proceed with caution when adding and removing product from the refrigerator.
♦ Do not open multiple, loaded drawers at the same time.
♦ Use manufacturer supplied power cord only.

♦ Using the equipment in a manner not specied by the manufacturer may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
♦ Ensure product is stored safely, in accordance with all applicable organizational, regulatory and legal requirements.
♦ The refrigerator is not considered to be a storage cabinet for ammable or hazardous materials.
♦ Use caution when moving undercounter units in a stacked conguration.
♦ REQUIRED: Decontaminate parts prior to sending for service or repair. Contact Helmer or your distributor for
decontamination instructions and a Return Authorization Number.
1.6 General Recommendations
General Use
Allow refrigerator to come to room temperature before switching power on.
During initial startup, high temperature alarm may sound while refrigerator reaches operating temperature.
Do not remove the cover from the condensate evaporator tray on upright units.
Initial Loading
Allow chamber temperature to stabilize at the setpoint before storing product.
Product Loading Guidelines
When loading your refrigerator, take care to observe the following guidelines:
♦ Never load refrigerators beyond capacity.
♦ Always store items within shelves, drawers or baskets.
♦ Temperature uniformity is maintained by air circulation, which could be impeded if unit is overlled, particularly at the top or
against the doors or walls. Ensure a 2” (50 mm) clearance is provided below the fan.
Note
Products stacked against walls or doors may obstruct air ow and aect performance of unit.

2. Installation
2.1 Location
Keep all ventilation openings in the enclosure or, in the structure of building-in, clear of obstruction.
♦ Has a grounded outlet meeting the electrical requirements listed on the product specication label.
♦ Is clear of direct sunlight, high temperature sources, and heating and air conditioning vents.
♦ Upright units require minimum 8” (203 mm) above, and minimum 3” (76 mm) behind.
♦ Undercounter units require minimum 3” behind the unit for clearance and feature access.
♦ Meets specied limits for ambient temperature and relative humidity as stated in the Product Specications section of
this manual.
2.2 Placement and Leveling
The evaporation tray located on the back of the upright refrigerator may be hot. Do not use the tray as a handle.
NOTICE
• To prevent tipping, ensure the casters (if installed) are unlocked and doors are closed before moving the unit.
• To avoid damaging refrigerant tubing or risking refrigerant leak, use caution when moving or operating the unit.
Undercounter units only
• Do not sit, lean, push or place heavy objects on top surface of undercounter units.
• Do not lean on or push down on an open door or extended drawers.
1. Ensure door is secured and casters (if installed) are unlocked.
2. Roll refrigerator into place and lock casters.
3. Ensure refrigerator is level.
Note
Helmer recommends the use of leveling feet and wall and oor brackets (PN 400472-2) for stabilization on undercounter
units. Contact Helmer Technical Service for parts and instruction.
2.3 Stacked Undercounter Units
NOTICE
• For stacked conguration, both units must have leveling feet installed.
• Back brace bars and front stabilizing brackets must be installed (Blue - PN 400821-1; Stainless Steel - PN 400821-2).
• When stacking units, place the heavier unit on the bottom.
• Do not open multiple loaded drawers at the same time.
• Do not lean on or push down on an open door or extended drawers.
Contact Helmer or your distributor for more information regarding the stacking kit and methods to secure both units to the wall

2.4 AC Power Cord
Use manufacturer supplied power cord only.
Install power cord
If packaged with modular cord, insert plug securely into the refrigerator power receptacle prior to connecting to
grounded outlet.
2.5 Temperature Probes
A solid ballast or probe bottle and container of glycerin have been provided with this unit. The glycerin is used to create a solution
which, when placed in the probe bottle, simulates the product stored in the refrigerator. The product simulation solution temperature
reects the product’s temperature during normal operation.
Notes
• Temperature probes are fragile; handle with care.
• Number and location of probes varies by model.
• Remote probes may also be introduced through the existing port on top or rear of the unit (if included).
• Solid ballast (if installed) should be placed in the bracket in a horizontal position.
• Failure to ll probe bottles or keep probe bottles (if installed) lled to the appropriate level may cause the chamber
temperature to display higher or lower than the actual temperature.
Primary Monitor Probe
The primary monitor probe is located at the top left side of the refrigerator.
Primary monitor probe
Secondary Monitor Probe (i.Series models 20 cu ft and larger only)
The secondary monitor probe is located in the lower left side of the refrigerator.

2.6 Chart Recorder (if included)
The chart recorder has a back-up battery system enabling a period of continuous operation if power is lost. Battery life varies by
manufacturer as well as voltage level remaining. If full battery power is available, back-up power for the temperature chart recorder
is available for up to 14 hours.
Notes
• If chart recorder is operated on battery power, the battery should be replaced to ensure the back-up source has
proper charge.
• For complete information, refer to the Temperature Chart Recorder Operation and Service Manual.
Prior to use:
Place chart recorder probe in bottle or ballast with primary monitor probe.
Set up and Operation
Access the chart recorder by pressing and releasing the door (i.Series except 113 models) or pulling door open (Horizon Series,
113 models and undercounter models).

temperature with back-up power provided by the nine-volt battery.
♦ The LED indicator glows green continually when main power is functioning and the battery is charged.
♦ The LED indicator glows red continually when main power is functioning and the battery is either not installed or needs to
be changed.
♦ The LED indicator ashes red to indicate that the recorder is receiving power only from the back-up battery.
♦ The LED indicator ashes during chart paper change mode.

6.7 TemperatureCalibrationOsets
Temperature calibration osets indicate an acceptable margin of error between the actual temperature value and the desired
temperature value.
Monitor Oset
♦ Value is factory-set to match a calibrated reference thermometer.
♦ Refer to the service manual for instructions regarding changing the Monitor Oset.
Control Sensor Oset and Hysteresis
The control sensor aects the reading of the control probe temperature and therefore the actual temperature of the
refrigerator. This should not be adjusted from the original setting unless directed by Helmer Technical Service.
The Upper and Lower Rail Limits help control the refrigeration based on the control probe temperature reading and the set
point. These limit values should not be changed from the default setting unless directed by Helmer Technical Service.
NOTICE
Control Sensor Oset and Rail Limits are factory-preset and should not be changed. Contact Helmer T
echnical Service for
instructions regarding changing these values.
6.8 Active Alarms
The controller displays temperature and alarm information.
