DESCRIPTION
The Sentry III-A Post--Mix Cooling Unit (see Figure 1) with R-134A Refrigerant is designed to provide cooled
syrup, carbonated water, and plain water to the dispensing station(s) connected to the Cooling Unit through an
insulated python. The lower cabinet of the Cooling Unit consist of carbonated water, plain water, and syrup coils,
a water tank where the coils are located, a carbonator, and a carbonated water circulating pump. The Cooling
Unit utilizes a drop-in refrigeration assembly which contains the refrigeration compressor and a condenser coil
and fan assembly as shown in Figure 2).

FIGURE 1. SENTRY III-A COOLING UNIT
THEORY OF OPERATION
A CO2cylinder delivers carbon dioxide gas (CO2) through adjustable CO2regulators to the soft drink tanks and
also to the built--in carbonator located inside the cooling unit. Plain water is pumped into the carbonated water
tank by the water pump and is carbonated by regulated CO2pressure also entering the tank. When dispensing
valve is opened, CO2gas pressure exerted upon the syrup in the soft drink tank, pushes syrup from the tank,
through the cooling unit, through the python, and on to the dispensing valve. Carbonated water is pushed by
CO2gas pressure from the carbonated water tank, through the cooling unit, through the python to the dispensing valve. Syrup and carbonated water meet at the dispensing valve resulting in a carbonated drink being dispensed. Plain water is also available at the dispensing station (s) by passing through the cooling unit, through
the python, and on to the dispensing station. Carbonated water is replenished when carbonated water level inside the carbonator tank drops to a specified level which in turn automatically starts the carbonator water pump
motor. When carbonated water level inside the tank has been replenished, the carbonator water pump motor will
stop. Carbonated water is continuously being circulated from the cooling unit, out through the insulated python
to the dispensing station(s), and back to the cooling unit which maintains liquids in the python at a cold temperature.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to Cooling Unit to prevent personnel injury before
attempting any internal maintenance. Only qualified Personnel should service internal
components or electrical wiring.
PREPARING COOLING UNIT FOR SHIPPING, STORING, OR RELOCATING
CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating the Unit, the syrup systems must be
sanitized and all sanitizing solution must be purged from the syrup coils. All water must be
purged from the plain and carbonated water systems, the ice bank must be melted, and all
water must be drained from the water tank. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual
water remaining inside the Unit to freeze resulting in damage to it’s internal components.
PERIODICINSPECTION
1. The Cooling Unit drop-in refrigeration assembly condenser coil air filter filter must be cleaned every
30-days as instructed. Do not place objects around or over grilles on the Cooling Unit. Air must be allowed
to enter and leave the Unit to remove heat from the condenser coil. Restricting air movement through the
condenser coil will cause refrigeration system to overheat.
2. Check entire system for leaks or damaged components. Repair as necessary.
ADJUSTINGCO2REGULATORS
CARBONATOR CO2REGULATOR
Adjust carbonator CO2regulator to a minimum of 80-psi with a maximum of 125-psi. CO2pressure to the carbonator must not exceed 125-psi.
SUGAR SYRUP TANK CO2REGULATOR
Adjust syrup tanks secondary CO2regulator at 40-psi for syrup lines up to 10-feet in length plus one pound for
each additional length of 10-feet plus one pound for each 2-feet of vertical lift. For example: If syrup line total
length is 30-feet and total vertical lift is 6-feet, then 40-psi + 2-psi (1-psi for every 10-feet of length over 10-feet
which is 20-feet) + 3-psi (1-psi for every 2-Feet of vertical lift which is 6-feet); total equals 40 + 2 + 3= 45-psi
CO2regulator setting.
LOW-CALORIE (DIET) SYRUP TANK CO2REGULATOR
Adjust low-calorie (diet) syrup tank secondary CO2regulator to 10-psig for syrup lines up to 30-feet in length.
Syrup lines longer than 30-feet in length may require a slightly higher CO2regulator setting of 12-psig maximum. Excessive CO2pressure may cause low-calorie syrup carbonation resulting in foam.
3120210049
