RECEIVING & INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Transportation companies assume all liability from the time a shipment is received
by them until the time it is delivered to the consumer. Our liability ceases at the
time of shipment.
2. All shipments leaving our plant have been carefully inspected. If a shipment
arrives with the crating or packaging damaged, have the carrier note the condition
on the receipt. Check as soon as possible for concealed damage.
3. If it is found that the shipment has been damaged in transit, please DO NOT
return it to us, but notify and file a claim with the carrier at once. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WILL RESULT IN REFUSAL BY THE CARRIER
TO HONOR ANY CLAIM WITH A CONSEQUENT LOSS TO THE CUSTOMER
LOCATING THE FIXTURE
1. Locate refrigerator or freezer in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area. When
possible, do not locate any fixture in the direct rays of the sun, near heating
ducts, radiators, stoves, doors or any device which will hinder the airflow as
designed.
2. There must be at least 24 inches of unobstructed clearance from the condensing
unit compartment.
3. Locate the electrical outlet in such a manner that you may plug in the service cord
(when furnished) direct, without the use of an extension cord. On models not
furnished with a service cord, a permanent electrical connection is required. Make
sure that no other electrically operated appliances are connected to the circuit
operating this fixture, which will cause an overload. Overloaded circuits are
extremely hazardous. THE VOLTAGE MUST BE MAINTAINED TO WITHIN
5% OF VOLTAGE INDICATED ON THE NAMEPLATE FOR PROPER
OPERATION.
4. This unit is intended to be sealed to the floor with a NSF approved sealant, unless
supplied with castors or legs, In addition, RPI Air screen display cases may be
installed flush against the rear wall.
5. This unit is for use in a max. 75F (24C) and 55% humidity room ambient
conditions. Higher room temperature will effect the operation and warranty of
this unit.

Page 7
INSTALLATION
It is always good practice to have a competent refrigeration service person perform the
start-up. It is also advisable to obtain a service contract from this same individual to be
assured of reliable and efficient service in case of any future problems.
1. It is mandatory that a direct, properly fused line of proper size wire be installed from
the main supply to your refrigerator. It is most important that a voltage reading be
made at the compressor- motor electrical connections, or as close to the compressormotor as possible at start-up and while the refrigerator is in operation, to insure that
the correct voltage required by the compressor is supplied.
2. Check serial and rating plate for voltage and current requirements, then make
electrical hook-up.
3. Make certain that the fixture is level in all directions. This is especially important for
proper door closure, correct water drainage and efficient operation of evaporator.
4. Place drain line in evaporator pan, or directly into floor drain.
5. Check vibrations or any objectionable noises.
6. Check operation of lights.
7. Inspect door for proper operation. (If applicable)
After installing shelves, be certain that they are in their proper place. Do not lay
8. products against the rear of the display area. This will restrict airflow from storage
area. Make sure light cord plugs and receptacles are properly seated and secured.
Loose cords may short out and void warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temperature is regulated by a digital control.
This control is activated by temperature sensors and is used to cycle the compressor on
and off to maintain proper temperatures in the cabinet. This control is pre-set at the
factory; this may be adjusted when colder or warmer temperature is needed. Consult
RPI Industries, Inc. refrigeration service department at (609-714-2330) for assistance.
STOCKING THE CABINET
After the equipment is running, it should be operated for a 24-hour period of time to
bring the storage temperature to the proper temperature. This unit should not be
turned off and on during the day.
The evaporator fans draw air from the storage area through the intake grille circulates
it through the evaporator and discharges it up through the display section of the case
and returns via the perforated grill at the front of the display deck. Be certain that
products do not block air circulation vents and evaporator intake grill in storage
compartment. Products must be refrigerated prior to loading unit.
It is also a good idea to keep the lights turned off during initial pull down and loading of
the fixture to prevent overloading of the condensing unit.
Load Level Recommendations: A space of 1.5 to 2.0 inches should be provided between
the top of product and the bottom of the next shelf. In addition product should be held
back a minimum of 1 inch from the front air baffle.
DRAIN EVAPORATOR PAN
When specified, a condensate evaporator pan heater is furnished to dissipate the water
collected from the coil during defrost or “off” cycle. This condensate evaporator heater
is installed and is equipped with a power cord for plugging into 115 volts AC separate
outlet. ( 3ft and 4ft Bravo models only). On 208-230 volt models, the condensate
evaporator heater plugs into a receptacle provided in the condensing unit compartment.
(This does not apply to cases with floor drains.) The condensate heater is designed
for a maximum 75oF and 55% relative humidity. The pan may overflow if
these limits are exceeded.
Make certain that the drain pan on refrigerated cases is checked weekly. Calcium
deposits may accrue, depending area and water quality. The float on drain pan should
be cleaned weekly for proper operation.

REMOTE MODELS
Refrigerant Piping
Refrigerant Line connection sizes:
Suction Line 5/8” O.D. Liquid Line 3/8” O.D.
These connections are made at the right hand end of the cases (facing front) beneath
the refrigerated display area in the base compartment. Refrigerant lines should be sized
as shown on the refrigeration legend (furnished by the owner).
LINE SIZING
Refrigerant lines should be sized in accordance to ASHRAE standards per the
information provided on the refrigerator requirements of the RPI fixture.
OIL TRAPS
P-traps (oil traps) must be installed at the base of the suction line vertical risers.
PRESSURE DROP
Pressure drop reduces capacity of the refrigeration system. To minimize pressure drop,
use proper size tubing, keep the refrigeration lines as short as possible and use a
minimum number of elbows. Where elbows are needed, use long radius elbows only.
EXPANSION VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Expansion valves must be adjusted to fully feed the evaporator. Before attempting to
adjust valves, make sure the evaporator is either clear / or only lightly covered with
frost, and that the fixture is within 10o F of it’s expected operating temperature.
Adjust the valve as follows:
A. Attach a probe to the suction line near the expansion valve bulb.
B. Obtain a pressure reading from the factory installed schraeder valve. Convert the
pressure to a saturated temperature for the appropriate refrigerant.
Temperature A minus Temperature B = Superheat
Some “hunting” of the expansion valve is normal. The valve should be adjusted so
that during the hunting the greatest difference between the two
temperatures is 3o F to 5o F
With this adjustment during a portion of the hunting the temperature difference
between the probes will be less than 3o F (at times as low as 0o F)
10
Page 11
Make adjustments of no more than (1/2) turn of the valve stem at a time
and wait for at least fifteen minutes before rechecking the probe
temperature and making further adjustments.
REFRIGERATION & DEFROST CONTROLS FOR CONVENTIONAL
OPERATION (Single Compressor systems)
Refrigeration temperatures may be controlled by ether the condensing unit’s low
pressure control or by refrigeration control (optional / one per condensing unit).
Thermostatic control is preferred since it will provide a more constant year-round
control of temperatures. The thermostat may be field or factory installed, must have
a differential of 3o F to 6o F and have its sensing bulb located to monitor the air
leaving the evaporator. One thermostat per condensing unit is required and should
be wired into the compressor motor contactor control circuit
A pump down system is recommended for outdoor condensing units.
Defrost:
RPI models have defrost cycles that are controlled by the digital control . Defrost
time should be increased if coils are not clear at the end of defrost cycle.
*Lengths of defrost time varies with humidity conditions.
