IV. OPERATION
IV. a - REFRIGERATORS:
Refrigerators do not require manual defrosting. During
normal operation, a refrigerator continuously circulates
above freezing cabinet air through the coil. A compressor
“OFF” cycle occurs every 2 1/2 Hours for 20 minutes to melt
any frost which may accumulate on the coil during the
compressor “ON” cycle. The control will read “dEF” and
the green water drop will be illuminated. With standard
holding refrigerators, high relative humidity is also main-
tained to prevent dehydration of stored product.
Proceed to vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the
finned condenser coil/filter, the compressor and other
cooling system parts. If significant dirt is clogging the
INTELA-TRAUL condenser fins or filter, use compressed air to blow this
°F °C SET clear.

VII. MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL
Your new refrigerator cabinet is equipped with a state-of-the-art microprocessor control, which precisely regulates
operation and provides alarms when problems occur. It is supplied from the factory completely ready for use and
requires no adjustments, but without the audible alarms activated. See pages 6 thru 16 for more information.

interface with data collection software (by others). All microprocessor control equipped models are capable of com-
municating within a NAFEM Data Protocol network if provided with an optional Gateway Hub (available from Traulsen).

VII. b - ALARM EXPLANATIONS:
*NOTE: Explanation of alarms assume the audible alarm style is set at a 3-second burst or a continuous audible
alarm. References to the audible alarm do not apply if the audible alarm style is set to OFF (Refer to page 16 for
setting the audible alarm style).
High Cabinet Air Temperature: The audible alarm will sound and the display will read HI
CAb when the temperature inside the cabinet rises above a pre-programmed limit. The limit
is determined by the type of unit being operated (i.e.: refrigerator/freezer). To turn off the
audible alarm, press the alarm cancel button. The visual alarm text will continue to display
until the cabinet air temperature falls below the limit. If the temperature does not fall below
the limit within 5 minutes, the audible alarm* will sound again and an additional Call Service
message will display.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
• Drawers open for extended periods of time.
• Large amounts of hot product placed inside the cabinet.
• Condenser coil dirty.
Low Cabinet Air Temperature: The audible alarm will sound and the display will read Lo
Cab when the temperature inside the cabinet falls below a pre-programmed limit. The limit
is determined by the type of unit being operated (i.e.: refrigerator/ freezer). To turn off the
audible alarm, press the alarm cancel button. The visual alarm text will continue to display
until the cabinet air temperature rises above the limit. If the temperature does not rise above
the limit within 5 minutes, the audible alarm will sound again and an additional Call Service
message will display.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
• No product in unit.
• Failed sensors.
Loss Of Power: The audible alarm will sound and the display will read ELE LOS, when the
unit regains power after an outage. To turn off the audible alarm and/or clear the visual text,
press the alarm cancel button.
Condenser Clean: The audible alarm will sound and the display will read “Clean Filter” when
discharge temperatures exceeds 140 degrees. As the load on the condenser decreases, the
alarm will turn off by itself. As the temperature on the condenser continue to rise, the audible
alarm will return until the problem has been eliminated.
Sensor Failures:
The audible alarm will sound and the display will read CAB SEN, COL SEN or DIS SEN when
that particular sensor has failed to operate. To turn off the audible alarm, press the alarm
cancel function of the sensor, the audible alarm will sound again in either 5 minutes or 24
hours.

Sample:
A lockout can not be programmed to start at 12:00 am or 12:30 am due to conflicts with other internal programs. The de-
frost lockouts can not be programmed to run back-to-back. For example, if dL1 is set to 080, then a defrost cycle would
be locked out from 8:00 am to 10:00 am. Because of the dL1 setting the dL2 parameter would not let the user choose a
lockout start time before 10:30 am. All lockouts are preset at the factory to OFF.

heaters cycle on and off, lower this parameter to approximately 30. If condensation forms around the drawers, increase the
parameter until condensation stops. The exact setting will vary depending on ambient conditions.
