Locating and Mounting Condensing Unit
General Guidelines:
Check the selected installation location to ensure that racks, braces, flooring,
foundations, etc. are adequate to support the condensing unit weight.
The installation location is clean, dry, and level.
Locate away from corrosive and noise sensitive atmospheres.
Use the condensing unit skid and base when moving the unit. Do not remove
unit from skid until the unit is moved to the mounting location.
Mount the condensing unit base to pads or structural rails using properly sized
bolts through the unit base.
WARNING
Do not lift the condensing unit by the refrigerant tubing or components. These features
will not support the condensing unit weight. Injury and unit damage may occur!
CAUTION
Do not leave the condensing unit mounted to the wooden skid. This prevents all of the
unit supports from contacting the mounting surface. Excessive vibration and premature
equipment failure can occur.
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 9 -
Clearance Requirements:
Locate where there is a sufficient and unrestricted supply of clean ambient air.
Locate where there is adequate space for the removal of the heated discharged
air from the condensing unit area.
Do not position multiple units so that discharge air from one unit is blowing into
the condenser inlet air of the other unit.
All sides of the unit should be positioned a minimum distance equal to the total
width of the condensing unit away from any other unit, wall, or obstruction.

Locating and Mounting Evaporator Coil
General Guidelines:
Do not place the evaporator above or close to door openings. This will help
prevent potential icing problems.
Allow a minimum clearance equal to or greater than the coil height on all sides of
the coil for proper air flow and service access. This does not apply to fan side.
Use the evaporator coil for a template to locate and drill the mounting holes (1/2”
diameter).
Place a 1” and a 1-5/8” washer on each nylon bolt and insert through the drilled
mounting holes.
Lift the evaporator coil until the nylon bolts extend through the mounting
brackets.
Install washers and secure with nuts. Tighten until the coil is firm against the
ceiling. The evaporator coil must be level.
Additional information is available in the installation manual supplied with the
evaporator.
CAUTION
Failure to observe clearance and air flow requirements will result in poor system
performance and premature equipment failure!

Wiring
All electrical connections and routing must comply with local and national codes. Do not
modify the factory installed wiring without written factory approval. The field wiring must
enter through the knockouts provided. Refer to the nameplate on the condensing or
evaporator coil to determine the proper electrical power supply. Wire type should be of
copper conductor only and properly sized to handle the electrical load. The unit and coil
must be properly grounded. Condensing unit wiring diagrams are attached inside the
electrical box cover. Evaporator coil wiring diagrams are located inside the evaporator
end panel. Copies of the wiring diagrams are also available in the back of this manual.
WARNING
All wiring must comply with local and national codes. Wiring must be performed only by
a refrigeration technician or certified electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in injury!
CAUTION
Check all wiring connections, including factory terminals, before operation. Connections
can become loose during shipment and installation.
Piping
General Requirements:
All refrigeration piping and components are to be installed in accordance with applicable
local and national codes and in conformance with industry refrigeration guidelines to
ensure proper operation of the refrigeration system. Only refrigeration grade copper
tubing should be used. Long radius elbows should be used. Short radius elbows have
points of excessive stress concentration and are subject to breaking at these points, do
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 12 -
not use short radius elbows. Suction lines must be insulated with a minimum 1” thick
armaflex to reduce heat pick-up.
Cleanliness:
Condensing units and evaporator coils are cleaned and dehydrated at the factory. The
condensing unit must remain closed and pressurized until the piping is complete and
final connections are ready to be made.
CAUTION
The maximum air exposure for dehydrated condensing units is 15 minutes. Systems
exposed longer than 15 minutes must have the compressor oil and drier filter replaced.
Leaving a system exposed to the atmosphere for more than 15 minutes can result in
premature system failure.
Note: PC model condensing units are supplied with a refrigerant charge. PR model
condensing units are supplied with a dry holding charge.
Do not remove system tubing covers until work is ready to be performed. Ensure that
all refrigeration tubing is clean and dry prior to installation. Use only tubing cutters when
trimming tubing to the proper length. Do not use saws to cut tubing.
CAUTION
The use of saws to cut tubing can contaminate the system with copper chips causing
premature system failure.
Brazing joints require a dry inert gas, typically nitrogen, be passed through the lines at a
low pressure to prevent scaling and oxidation. Use only silver solder brazing alloys.
Minimize the amount of flux to prevent internal contamination. Flux only the male
portion of the joint. Thoroughly clean fluxed joints after brazing.
CAUTION
Dry inert gas must be passed through the system while brazing to prevent scaling and
oxidation. Scaling and oxides can clog refrigeration components resulting in system
failure.
Pipe Supports:
All tubing should be supported in a least two locations (near the end of each tubing run).
Long runs will require additional support. As a guide, support 3/8” to 7/8” pipe every five
feet, 1-1/8” to 1-3/8” every seven feet, and 1-5/8” to 2-1/8” every ten feet. Do not leave
a corner unsupported when changing directions. Place supports within 2 feet of each
direction change. Piping that is attached to a vibrating object (such as a compressor or
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 13 -
compressor base) must be supported in a manner that will not restrict the movement of
the vibrating object. Rigid mounting will fatigue the tubing causing refrigerant leaks.
Oil Traps:
To ensure proper oil return to the compressor, a P-type oil trap should be installed at
the base of each suction riser of four feet or more. The suction trap must be the same
size as the suction line. Additional traps are necessary for long vertical risers. Add a
trap for each length of pipe (approximately 20 feet) to insure proper oil return. Suction
lines must slope ¼” per 10 feet toward the compressor. Install a suction line trap at the
evaporator outlet if the suction line rises to a point higher than the connection on the
evaporator.
CAUTION
Failure to properly install oil traps can prevent sufficient oil return to the compressor
resulting in premature compressor failure.
Drain Lines:
Evaporator coil drain lines should be pitched a minimum of ½” per foot to allow proper
drainage and exit the walk-in as quickly as possible. Insulate and seal the drain line
where it passes through the wall. Copper drain line is required. If the refrigerated
space is 33°F or lower, drain line insulation and heat tape are required. Drain lines
must be insulated with minimum ½” thick armaflex. The drain line heat tape must be
wrapped around the copper drain line. Do not locate bends, elbows, or drain traps
within the refrigerated space. Do not reduce the drain line size. Locate a drain line Ptrap outside of the refrigerated space. Any traps exposed to low ambient temperatures
should be wrapped with a drain line heater (provide 20 watts of heat per foot of drain
line at 0°F, 30 watts per foot at -20°F.

Leak Testing
After all connections are complete the refrigeration system must be tested for leaks.
Failure to perform a leak test can result in unsatisfactory system performance,
additional servicing and service costs, and possible system failure. Leak test should be
performed using an electronic leak detector. All joints and components, both factory
and field installed, should be thoroughly inspected for leaks. The system installation
must be leak free!
Leak Testing “PR” model systems:
Open both the liquid and suction service valves.
Ensure the solenoid valve is energized and open.
Add 50 psi refrigerant, then pressurize with dry nitrogen to the low side test
pressure identified on the unit rating label.
Allow thirty minutes for refrigerant to reach all parts of the system.
Check all joints and components with an electronic leak detector.
Leak Testing “PC” model systems:
Leave the service valves closed, the condensing unit is charged with refrigerant.
Ensure the solenoid valve is energized and open.
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 15 -
Add 50 psi refrigerant, then pressurize with dry nitrogen to the low side test
pressure identified on the unit rating label.
Allow thirty minutes for refrigerant to reach all parts of the system.
Check all joints and components with an electronic leak detector.
If a leak is detected, relieve the pressure and/or reclaim the refrigerant and repair the
leak. If additional brazing is required, pass a dry inert gas (nitrogen) through the system
to prevent contamination. Retest the system as outlined above until no leaks are
detected.
CAUTION
If a braze joint is detected leaking, dry inert gas must be passed through the system
while repairing the joint to prevent scaling and oxidation. Scaling and oxides can clog
refrigeration components resulting in system failure.
CAUTION
Always use the system specified refrigerant when pressuring to perform a leak test.
System Evacuation
Evacuation of the refrigeration system is necessary to remove all air and moisture from
the system. A reliable rotary vacuum pump with an accurate deep vacuum gauge is
recommended. Do not use the system compressor as a vacuum pump and do not
operate the compressor while the system is under vacuum.
Evacuation of “PR” model systems:
Open both the liquid and suction service valves.
Ensure the solenoid valve is energized and open.
Connect vacuum pump to the liquid and suction service valves.
Evacuate the system to 250 microns and maintain for a minimum of 4 hours.
Perform a vacuum decay test for a minimum of ten minutes to ensure the system
is leak free and dry.
Evacuation of “PC” model systems:
Leave the service valves closed, the condensing unit has been evacuated and is
charged with refrigerant.
Ensure the solenoid valve is energized and open.
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 16 -
Connect vacuum pump to the liquid and suction service valves.
Evacuate the system to 250 microns and maintain for a minimum of 4 hours.
Perform a vacuum decay test for a minimum of ten minutes to ensure the system
is leak free and dry.
CAUTION
Do not use the system compressor to evacuate the system. Do not start the
compressor while the system is under vacuum. This may damage the compressor and
cause premature system failure.
Refrigerant Charging
The refrigerant charge should be added to the system through the liquid line service
valve. Do not charge liquid refrigerant into the suction service valve! The initial charge
should be determined by weight and sight glass indication. Start the system. If the
condensing temperature is 105° F or greater, charge the system until the sight glass
clears. If the condensing unit temperature is below 105° F, reduce the condenser face
surface area to raise the discharge pressures above 105° F and proceed to charge to a
clear sight glass. Return to a full condenser face area when charging is complete.
CAUTION
Do not charge liquid refrigerant into the suction service valve. Do not overcharge the
system. These conditions can permit liquid refrigerant to enter the compressor and
cause damage to internal components resulting in premature system failure.
Note: PC model condensers are charged at the factory with 17 lbs. (freezer) and 8-1/2
lbs (cooler) of R404A refrigerant. Due to site variances, an additional charge may be
required.
Operational Start-Up
The first 2 – 4 hours of operation after initial start-up is a critical time. Do not just start
the system and leave. Pressure values, compressor and evaporator superheat, and
inspecting for excessive vibrations and loose connections are some of checks that must
be performed prior to leaving the system.
Pre-Start Checks:
Verify that all service valves are fully open.
Ensure that all refrigerant and electrical connections are tight.
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 17 -
Verify that the wiring and piping is properly routed and secured.
The compressor mounting bolts are properly adjusted.
All fan motors and mounting brackets are tight.
The condensing unit base and evaporator coil are properly secured.
ArcticFox User Interface is properly installed and mounted.
Compressor Mounts:
Check the compressor mounting bolts to ensure the nuts have not become loose during
shipment.
CAUTION
Failure to ensure the compressor mounts are properly tightened can result in fatigue to
the system piping causing leaks and poor system performance.
ArcticFox User Interface Installation and Initialization:
The user interface is designed to sit on the manager’s desk, but can be field modified to
mount directly to the walk-in or wall. The User Interface has a port on top for a CAT5e
cable.
To mount the user interface to a vertical surface using the UI Wall Mounting Assembly:
Select mounting location (allow 12” min. clearance for UI away from high traffic
areas and protected from direct contact with liquids).
Remove the backing from the (2) 2-1/2” long lengths of double sided tape located
on the back of the assembly.
Press the assembly onto the pre-selected mounting location surface ensuring the
assembly is level and plumb.
Secure the assembly to the vertical surface using (4) 10-16 x ½” self tapping
screws.
Once the user interface is secured in its stationary location, connect the CAT5e cable
from VFD-UI indicated on the evaporator coil to the UI ensuring the CAT5e cable is
securely fastened to adjacent surfaces.
Once unit is powered up, the UI will begin the initialization process.

Start-Up Procedure:
CAUTION
Do not start the system while in a vacuum. Do not leave the system unattended until
normal operating conditions are achieved.
Operate the system for a minimum of two hours and perform checks of the following:
Check the compressor discharge and suction pressures to ensure they are in the
normal operating range.
Check the liquid line sight glass for proper refrigerant charge.
Check the voltage and amperage at the compressor terminals. Voltage must be
within +10% or -5% of the rating indicted on the condensing unit name plate. On
three phase compressors, verify there is a balanced load.
Check all fans on the evaporator coil and condensing unit to be sure they are
operational and turning in the correct direction.
Check the piping and electrical connections for vibration. Add supports and
strapping if needed.
Check the crankcase heater operation (if equipped).
The defrost times and settings are pre-set and controlled by ArcticFox.
Set temperature is pre-set and controlled by ArcticFox.
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 20 -
Check the compressor and evaporator superheat (pages 21-22). Superheat is
pre-set and controlled by ArcticFox.
After all system checks have been checked, properly adjusted, and verified, replace all
Schrader caps, service valve caps, electrical box covers, housings, etc. File a copy of
this manual for future reference.
Compressor Superheat:
CAUTION
Failure to check and properly adjust compressor superheat can result in premature
system failure.
Compressor superheat is a critical value that must be checked. Check the compressor
superheat as follows:
Determine the suction pressure at the suction service valve of the compressor.
Determine the saturation temperature at the observed suction pressure using
refrigeration pressure temperature tables.
Measure the suction line temperature 6 -10 inches away from the compressor.
Subtract the saturation temperature (step 2) from the measured temperature
(step 3). The difference is the superheat of suction gas.
A low suction superheat can cause liquid to return to the compressor. This will cause
dilution of the oil and eventual failure of the bearings, rings and valves. A high suction
superheat will cause excessive discharge temperatures, which cause a breakdown of
the oil. This causes piston ring wear, and piston and cylinder wall damage. System
capacity decreases as the suction superheat increases. For maximum system capacity,
keep the suction superheat as low as practical. Copeland requires a minimum
compressor superheat of 20°F; however, to improve compressor life, 25°F to 40°F is
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 21 -
preferred. Adjust the superheat using the ArcticFox controller. Refer to “Evaporator
Superheat” on the next page for more information.
Evaporator Superheat:
Check the evaporator superheat once the walk-in has reached the desired temperature.
Generally, systems with a design temperature drop of 10°F should have an evaporator
superheat value of 6° - 10°F on freezers and 8° - 12°F on coolers for maximum
efficiency. The evaporator superheat is pre-set for 8°F at the factory.
To determine the evaporator superheat:
1. Measure the suction pressure at the evaporator outlet.
2. Convert the pressure to saturation temperature referencing a temperature-pressure
chart.
3. Measure the temperature of the suction line near the EEV sensor. Do not remove
the insulation from around the sensor.
4. Subtract the saturation temperature reading (step 2) from the measured temperature
(step 3). The difference is the evaporator superheat.

CAUTION
Minimum compressor superheat of 20°F may override these recommendations on
systems with short line runs.
CAUTION
The condensing unit must have the discharge pressure above the equivalent 105°F
condensing pressure (reference refrigerant charging on page 17).
CAUTION
Correct location and full contact of the EEV sensor is extremely important for proper
system performance. EEV sensor is premounted and insulated before shipment.

Initialization of ArcticFox Control System:
When power is first applied to the ArcticFox User Interface, it checks the configuration
of the system to which it is connected. If a Cooler/Freezer combo box is wired to it, the
controller automatically connects. If the configuration is not a Cooler/Freezer combo
box, refer to “set up” section for instructions to manually configure controller. This
configuration can consist of the following options:
One “Cooler” evaporator
One “Freezer” evaporator
One “Cooler/Freezer” combo, separate compartments
It is recommended (but not required) that the refrigeration system be operational before
attaching the ArcticFox User Interface.
Button Functions:
Light (☼) – This is used to turn on all of the lights that are wired into the Smart
Relay Board(s). The Led indicator light reflects the status of the light button – not
necessarily the actual light condition. Pushing the light button while the lights are
on will shut them off (after the time delay expires). This does not apply when the
lights are not controlled by the ArcticFox controller.
System Selection Arrow (▲) – This is used to select the system to be
programmed.
Up, Down Arrows (▲, ▼) – These buttons are used to scroll through menus,
parameters and settings.
Cancel (X) – Depressing this button cancels the immediately preceding input.
Enter (√) – Depressing this button “accepts” the immediately preceding input.
Menu ( ) – Depressing this button brings up the main menu after the user
enters and accepts the password.

Alarm Codes:
If the ArcticFox User Interface sounds an audible alarm, it will display the visual alarm code in a
shaded box above the box temperature display. Four types of alarms can be present:
Sensor Failure – The audible alarm will sound when a sensor fails and the display will
flash showing a 4 digit code that can be disseminated through the use of the table in
Appendix A.
Door Alarm – The audible alarm will sound if a freezer or cooler door is left open longer
than the alarm delay setting.
High Temp Alarm – The audible alarm will sound if the box temperature exceeds the
alarm set point.
Low Temp Alarm – The audible alarm will sound if the box temperature falls below the
alarm set point.
The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the (X) and (√) buttons
simultaneously for three seconds. After alarm is silenced, it will beep every 30
seconds until alarm conditioned is cleared.
Sustaining Mode:
In the event of a sensor failure, the refrigeration system will revert to an automatically
controlled sustaining mode. In this mode, the refrigeration system will continue to
operate to keep the box at or near the temperature set point. This allows the user
adequate time to obtain service to resolve the problem. Sensor failures must be
addressed by an authorized service agent within 24 hours.
The audible alarm will sound and the display will flash a 4 digit code (see Appendix A).
The system detects if a defrost is needed and may go into defrost mode displayed L-
Defrost. When the system comes out of defrost mode and starts cooling, L-Cooling is
displayed. When cooling stops, system goes into idle mode. L-Idle is displayed. This
cycle is repeated while in sustaining mode. ‘L’ in front of mode is a quick indicator that
system is operating in sustaining mode for ‘limited operation’ and authorized service
agent must be contacted.
www.manitowocfoodservice.com800-225-9916 - 32 -
Data Logging:
The ArcticFox User Interface logs data when a flash stick is inserted into the USB port
on the top of the control. Two types of data are logged, events and sensors. Events
are logged when they occur and sensor data is logged every minute. This data is
compiled and can be downloaded from the flash drive.
On Demand Defrost:
Through the use of a proprietary operating system, the ArcticFox Control continuously
monitors the refrigeration system performance to determine the need for defrost. When
the system performance drops below a predetermined efficiency, the ArcticFox Control
initiates a defrost cycle. When the ArcticFox Control determines the coil is free of frost,
defrost is terminated.
The ArcticFox Control can also be programmed to defrost at timed intervals and has a
settable feature to allow for timed safety defrosts. This feature is available through the
cooler or freezer “Defrost Setup” menu.
Anti-Short Cycle:
The ArcticFox control also has a built in feature to prevent short cycling. Once the
compressor shuts down, the compressor can not come back on for 3 minutes.
System Defaults:
The following table lists the factory default settings for the ArcticFox Control. All of
these settings are programmable through the ArcticFox User Interface.

Determines the type defrost system that the unit cooler
utilizes. For a freezer application, the only setting available
is Electric.
Defrost Effectiveness Threshold (DET) .This setting value
represents the percentage (%) the evaporator effectiveness
will decline before a "demand defrost" is triggered to initiate.
(the higher the DET % value the more frost that will be
allowed to accumulate on the evaporator coil)
This setting value is added to the temperature set point
value and the sum is the temperature (during the
compressor ON cycle) used to dictate whether the
effectiveness calculations are being calculated or not being
calculated. If the evap Air IN temperature is above the sum
value, the effectiveness calculations stop calculating. If the
evap Air IN temperature is at or below the sum value, the
effectiveness calculations start calculating.
Max Continuous Compressor Run Time. (CCRT) This
setting determines the safety defrost activation mode.
This setting value is only active if the "Continuous
Compressor Run Time" mode has been selected for the
Safety Defrost operation. If the compressor runs
continuously for the time that has been set, the system will
automatically go into a defrost.
This is the delay time for water to drip from the evap coil.
When the defrost heaters turn off, the delay time starts and
when the delay time expires the compressor will turn on.
This is the delay time after a defrost has been triggered to
activate before the defrost heaters will be turned on. (allows
time for the compressor to pump down and shut off before
the heaters come on)
This is the delay time after the drip time has expired before
the evaporator fans turn ON. (the compressor starts to run
at the beginning of this delay period) Any residual moisture
that is left on the evap coil surface after the drip time period
will be frozen before the evap fans come on.
This is the temperature at which a defrost cycle will be
terminated by temperature.
This is the length of time after which a defrost cycle will be
terminated by time if the defrost cycle has not already been
terminated on temperature.
NOTE: The unit cooler also employs a fixed setting
mechanical Heater Safety thermostat that can terminate
the defrost cycle if for some reason the defrost cycle is
not terminated on temperature or time via the ArcticFox
controller.

CAUTION
Failure to keep the condenser coil clean will result in reduced airflow through the
condenser, resulting in poor system performance and premature compressor failure.
Polyol Ester (POE) Lubricants:
Polyol Ester (POE) lubricants quickly absorb moisture from the ambient surroundings.
POE lubricants absorb moisture more rapidly and in greater quantity than conventional
mineral oils. Because moisture levels greater than 100 PPM will result in system
corrosion and component failure, it is essential that system exposure to ambient
conditions be kept to a minimum.
If a system is left open to the atmosphere for more than 15 minutes, the liquid line drier
and compressor oil must be replaced. Drain at least 95% of the oil from the compressor
suction port. Measure the amount of removed oil, and replace it with exactly the same
amount of new POE oil.
Mobil EAL™ ARCTIC 22 CC is the preferred Polyol Ester lubricant because of its
particular additives. ICI Emkarate RL 32S is an acceptable alternative when the Mobil
is not available. These POE lubricants must be used with HFC refrigerants. Lubricants
are packaged in specially designed, sealed containers. Once opened, use the lubricant
immediately. Properly dispose of any unused lubricant.

1) Time between defrosts
2) Continuous Compressor Run Time
There are two meanings for this time and the meaning is
selected by the Defrost Safety Timer Mode (See above)
1) Maximum number of minutes between defrosts.
After a manual defrost or Demand defrost the

counter starts at zero.
2) Maximum number of minutes of continuous
compressor run time before the system is forced to
defrost. The counter is cleared when a cooling
cycle ends

Number of minutes to wait after heaters turn off before
compressor turns on.
Number of minutes to wait after the drip time ends before
allowing the fans to restart.
This is the temperature at which the defrost cycle is
terminated
This is the maximum number of minutes the defrost cycle
will run
Delay between the start of the defrost and the time the
electric heater is started. This allows the compressor to
pump-down
This value determines when the demand defrost
calculation is started during the cooling cycle. Higher
values start the calculation earlier but may cause false
defrosts
Hold time after defrost before a high temp alarm can
occur. This allows the cooling cycle to cool the evaporator
before testing for high temperature violations
