I. THE SERIAL TAG
I. a - SERIAL TAG & LOCATION:
The serial tag is a permanently axed label on which is recorded vital
electrical and refrigeration data about your Traulsen product, as well as
the model and serial number. This tag is located inside the top opening
on all standard TRD-Series Pan Chiller models. Prior to installation, test
the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specications of
the equipment marked on the serial tag.
I. b - READING THE SERIAL TAG
• Model = The model # of your Traulsen unit
• (S/N) Serial Number = The permanent ID# of your Traulsen unit
• Refrigerant SYS1= System 1 Refrigerant type used and refrigerant charge
• Design Pressure= System 1 High and Low Pressure
• Refrigerant SYS2= System 2 Refrigerant type used and refrigerant charge
• Design Pressure= System 2 High and Low Pressure
• Volts = Voltage
• Hz = Cycle
• Total Current = Maximum amp draw
• Min Circuit Amps = Minimum circuit ampacity
• Agency Labels = Designates agency listings
This unit is listed to UL 471, CSA 120 and NSF 7 by an approved NRTL.
Consult the factory or unit data plate for approval information.

II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
IV. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
II. a - RECEIPT INSPECTION:
Carefully inspect your Traulsen unit for damage during delivery. If
damage is detected, you should save all crating materials and make
note on the carrier’s Bill of Lading describing the damage. A freight
claim should be led immediately. If damage is subsequently noted
during or immediately after installation, contact the respective carrier
and le a freight claim. There is a ve (5) day limit to le freight damage
with the carrier. Under no condition may a damaged unit be returned
to Traulsen without rst obtaining written permission (return authorization). You may contact Traulsen customer care at 800-333-7447.
III. INSTALLATION
III. a - INSTALLING THE PAN CHILLER:
Self-contained units must be installed with sucient air circulation
for the condensing unit. Venting must include provisions for both air
intake and exhaust. Failure to provide adequate ventilation may cause
severe compressor damage, and will void warranty.
Both self-contained and remote units require a counter cut-out that
is 3/8 inch (0.3175cm) larger than the overall outer dimension of the
pan chiller. Refer to the specication sheet for your particular unit.
IV. a - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Refer to the wiring diagram shipped with the unit located inside the compressor compartment or on the back of the unit.
IV. b - CORD CONNECTED UNITS SELF-CONTAINED
MODELS:
Plug the unit into a properly sized outlet. See serial tag located
inside lower storage cabinet for proper circuit sizing.
WARNING: THIS MACHINE IS PROVIDED
WITH A THREE-PRONGED GROUNDING PLUG. THE OUTLET
TO WHICH THIS PLUG IS CONNECTED MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER
GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.
V. PRESTART CHECKS
V. a - DEFROST TIME CLOCK SETTINGS:
Never apply power to a Traulsen unit without setting the time
clock to the correct time of day. (Note: All time clocks are
preset at the factory to turn the pan chiller “o at 12:00 midnight and back on at 5:00 a.m.” unless otherwise instructed
by customer).
III. b - REFRIGERATION LINES REMOTE MODELS:
WARNING: REFRIGERATION LINES ARE SHIPPED UNDER PRESSURE.
USE CAUTION WHEN OPENING LINES.
Location of the refrigeration lines varies depending on installation
needs. The suction line is 3/8” copper tubing and is marked “Suction”.
The supply line is 1/4” copper. See “Electrical Connections” section for
wiring instructions.
A control box, expansion valve, solenoid valve, time clock and temperature controller, is supplied with the drop-in. All drop-in units are
shipped with this control box loose. Refrigeration lines and power
supply must be attached to this box then routed to the drop-in.
Cut refrigeration tubing with tube cutter (not a hacksaw) and de burr
end of tube. De grease tubing prior to eld connection. Use Silfos 5%
for refrigerant line brazing. 50/50 or cold solder is not acceptable.
If no holding charge is evident upon opening lines, contact Traulsen
Parts and Service Department at (800) 825-8220 immediately.
On self-contained units, the time clock is located on the
compressor compartment housing.
To set the time of day, rotate the disc in the direction of the
arrows (clockwise rotation) to align the hands to the correct
time of day (see page 3).
To change time clock setting, the tripper pins must be recongured. Each pin on the time clock represents 15 minutes.
Tripper pins pulled out away from center of time clock represent refrigeration o. Tripper pins pushed toward center
indicate refrigeration on. If system runs only during normal
working hours and food has been removed from pan chiller
at night, the time clock must be set to shut pan chiller o at
closing time and to turn on one hour prior to putting the food
in the pan chiller the next day (see page 3).
For system charge, follow remote refrigeration system manufacturer’s
instructions.
