INSTALLATION
NSF CERTIFICATION
These merchandisers are manufactured to
meet ANSI / National Sanitation Foundation
®
(NSF
) Standard #7 requirements. Proper installation is required to maintain certication.
Near the serial plate, each case carries a label
identifying the type of application for which
the case was certied.
ANSI/NSF-7 Type I – Display Refrigerator / Freezer

FREEDOM LINE DESCRIPTION
The Freedom Line RFLNS and RFMNS cases
are designed to be ready for remote installation
of a top-mounted air-cooled condensing unit,
such as Hussmann’s TCLSA through TCMSD
series of condensing units. They are controlled
by the Safe-NET III electronic control. The
case temperature is controlled by cycling the
compressor based on the discharge air
temperature input. The sensor for this input
is located above the discharge air honeycomb.
Another sensor, located on the bottom center
evaporator coil return bends is used for defrost termination. The Safe-NET III control is
pre-programmed for both ice cream and frozen
food operation and is adjusted for the required
temperature by the control knob located on the
front of the controller, which is on top of the
case.
Cases running on individual condensing units
may be installed as stand-alone cases with ends,
or as a part of a lineup.
When installed in a lineup, Hussmann recommends that partitions be installed between
individual cases to prevent frost buildup and
other issues that might result from different
defrost schedules and operating temperatures.
These partition may be acrylic or insulated,
depending on case’s operating temperature.
LOCATION
These merchandisers are designed for displaying
products in air conditioned stores where
temperature is maintained at or below the
ANSI/NSF-7 specied level and relative
humidity is maintained at or below 55%.
Placing refrigerated merchandisers in direct
sunlight, near hot tables or near other heat
sources could impair their efciency. Like other
merchandisers, these are sensitive to air
disturbances. Air currents passing around
merchandisers will seriously impair their
operation. Do NOT allow air conditioning,
electric fans, open doors or windows, etc. to
create air currents around the merchandisers.
To prevent sweating on the exterior surfaces
of merchandisers, there must be
clearanceof 4 inches (102 mm) between
aminimum
the merchandisers and other xtures or walls.
A 5.5 inch (140 mm) space is required between
facade top and the ceiling. A louvered Facade
Panel kit is available that will allow for a top
spacing minimum clearance of 3 inches (76
mm).
Product should always be maintained at proper
temperature. This means that from the time the
product is received, through storage, preparation
and display, the temperature of the product must
be controlled to maximize the life of the product.
Condensing units installed on top of the
merchandiser require air circulation to operate
properly. Blocking or restricting air ow will
adversely affect performance and may damage
the refrigeration system.
HUSSMANN CORPORATION • BRIDGETON, MO 63044-2483 U.S.A.Freedom Line Reach-in
1-2InstallatIon
If the ceiling and/or walls are built up around the
merchandiser, allow for a sufcient gap above or
behind the merchandiser to provide adequate air
circulation. When merchandisers are installed in
a lineup, case must be taken to ensure that warm
condenser air is not blown from one unit into the
condenser of the adjacent unit.
For California Businesses:
This product may contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
This warning is the result of the California State
law known as the California Safe Drinking Water

LEVELING
Merchandisers must be installed level to ensure proper operation of the refrigeration
system and to ensure proper drainage of
defrost water. When leveling merchandisers,
use a carpenter’s level as shown.
Metal leveling shims or wedges are provided
with each merchandiser for use if needed.
NOTE:
hI g hestp oInto fthe stor e floo r .
Be g InlI n eupl evelI n gfro m the
Place shims under the rail and make sure
that they are positioned at a base component
(crossbar). This transfers the weight directly
from the loaded case through to the oor.
See illustrations on next page
Placing shims at other locations will cause
uneven distribution of weight leading to
piping leaks, as well as sagging or wracked
doors.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
After leveling and joining the merchandisers,
adjust and level doors according to manufacturer’s
instructions shipped with each product. Factory
settings may be lost due to vibration during
shipment.
JOINING
Sectional construction means that two or more
merchandisers may be joined in line yielding
one long continuous display requiring only one
pair of ends. Joining kits and instructions are
shipped with each merchandiser.
To join merchandisers with independent ends,
a joining kit is required.
The painted caps for the end assembly bolt holes
may be kept with this manual. Insert two insulating plugs into each bolt hole of the ends to be
joined. After leveling and aligning the top edge
of the ends, install the two case-to-case brackets
on to the top with sheet metal screws as shown
below.
To join unlike xtures, or like xtures operating
at different temperatures, a 2inch (51mm)
partition kit is required. To join same temperature
merchandisers on different defrost cycles, a
plexiglass partition kit is required. Install ‘J’
trim between cases.
The correct type of refrigerant will be stamped
on each merchandiser’s serial plate. The serial
plage is located on the left-hand end of the
interior top liner.
When brazing pipes be sure to use the
insulation blanket shipped with the
merchandiser to prevent damage to
the plastic case bottom.
Refrigeration lines are under pressure.
Depressurize and recover refrigerant before
attempting any connection or repair.
Refrigerant vapor is hazardous to your health
and can cause death. Avoid breathing refrigerant and lubrication vapor or mist. Exposure
may irritate eyes, nose and throat. If accidental system discharge occurs,ventilate work
area before resuming service.
Always wear safety goggles and protective
gloves when working with refrigerants. Contact
with refrigerant may cause injury. Disconnect
hoses with extreme caution! All hoses may
contain liquid refrigerant under pressure.
Be sure that any room where you are working
is thoroughly ventilated, especially if a leak is
suspected.
Read all safety information regarding the safe
handling of refrigerant and refrigerant oil, including the Material Safety Data Sheet. MSDS
sheets can be obtained from your
refrigerant supplier.

ABOUT QUICK CONNECT COUPLINGS
Quick Connect ttings are provided on
both the case inlet and outlet lines, and on
Hussmann’s TCL and TCM series of condensing units. The case and condensing unit
are pre-charged with the correct amount of
R404A refrigerant, and the lines are sealed.
Connecting the Quick Connects together
breaks the seals to connect the refrigeration lines of the unit to the case. The Quick
Connects must be properly torqued to avoid
refrigerant leaks.
CONNECT LINES
Mount the suction line and liquid line to the
condensing unit. When ready to connect, remove protector caps and plugs from the Quick
Connect couplings.
If necessary, carefully wipe coupling seats and
threaded surfaces with a clean cloth to prevent
the inclusion of dirt or any foreign material in
the system.
Lubricate male half of diaphragm and
synthetic rubber seal with refrigerant oil.
Thread the coupling halves together by hand
to ensure proper mating of threads. Use
proper size wrenches (on coupling body hex
and on union nut) and tighten until coupling
bodies “bottom” or a denite resistance is felt.
Tighten a ¼ turn after the coupling bottoms
out to ensure a leak proof seal (equivalent to
the foot pounds shown below).

CONTROLLER
SAFE-NET III™ USER INSTRUCTIONS
Your refrigerated case uses a Hussmann
Safe-NET™ III temperature and defrost
controller to precisely maintain the temperature and prevent frost buildup on the cooling
coil. LEDs indicate when the compressor or
refrigeration is on, when the case is in a defrost
cycle, if the temperature is outside the desired
range, or if there is a sensor failure.
An adjustment knob allows the temperature
to be set within the congured range and can
power off the controller and compressor. Your
controller has been custom-congured to provide the best temperature and defrost control
for your chilled or frozen food.
The front of the controller has an adjustment
knob and status LEDs. The back of the
controller has connections for sensors and
switched equipment.
