GENERAL

These display cases may be installed individually or in a continuous line-up consisting of

several 8' and 12' sections by using a joint kit. A plexiglass divider kit must be used between
cases operating on different refrigeration systems. The divider will be factory installed if
specified on order.

SHIPPING DAMAGE

All equipment should be examined for shipping damage before and during unloading. If there
is any damage, the carrier should be notified immediately and an inspection requested. The
delivery receipt must be noted that the equipment was received damaged. If damage is of
a concealed nature, you must contact the carrier immediately or no later than three (3) days
following delivery. A claim must be filed with the carrier by the consignee for all damages.

NOTE: All claims for shortages must be made within 10 days

after receipt of shipment.

INSTALLATION & LOCATION

IMPORTANT: All cases must be located on a firmly based floor and

leveled within plus or minus 1/16". Use shims provided to
level your case.

Merchandising Solutions By
3000
series Page 5

If cases are to be located along an outside uninsulated wall, provisions should be made to
ventilate or heat the dead air space between wall and case. If cases are located back to
back, or if the end of the case is adjacent to a wall or another fixture, the same prvision for
ventilation is necessary. (Minimum of 3" clearance required between cases and wall or other
cases.)

JOINING

Two or more cases of like models can be joined together to form a continuous line-up. Before
lining up cases, inspect refrigeration lines, electrical connections and controls to insure cases
are in proper line-up and are in the proper sequence.

JOINING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move cases as near their permanent location as possible before removing shipping
braces, skids or rollers. NOTE: all cases are factory numbered with line-up and
position numbers. Make sure that cases are installed in order. (Line up sticker found
on the front of each case.)

2. Remove skids and shipping braces. Install approximately a 5/16" bead of sealer at one
end of case as noted by a phantom line on cross-section.

3. Move cases as close together as possible and level by using the shims provided.
CASES MUST BE LEVELED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND END TO END.

4. Remove access covers over line-up holes & insert the small line-up bolts in the end
frame. Place the special T-nut washer on the 3/8" machine bolt with hollow section
away from the bolt head. Tighten the 3/8" bolts with nut washer into the T-nuts
alternately until cases are pulled up tight & the joint is completely sealed. (Reasonable
care should be exercised in this procedure to prevent end frame distortion.) Assist
pulling case up tight by bumping from opposite end of case or by using pry bar.

5. Inspect joint for proper air and water tight seal inside and outside the case.

6. Replace line-up access cover plugs& plates.

Most case trim can and should be installed immediately after cases are lined up. Where
possible, install all trim immediately so it will not be lost. The trim that cannot be installed
immediately such as kickplate area, store in a safe place until refrigeration and electrical work
is completed.

WASTE OUTLET

TheL5(F) (A) 1 cases are equipped with a 1" M-NPT waste outlet connection which terminates
in the center of the refrigerator below the insulated bottom. A water seal is shipped loose for
field installation. Access to the drains are by removing the center deck pan an the case front
panel.

INSTALLING DRIP PIPE

Improperly installed drip pipes can seriously effect the operation of this case and result in
increased maintenance cost. Listed below are some general rules for drip pipe installation:

C Never use a double water seal.

C Never use a pipe smaller than the size pipe or water seal supplied with the case.

C Always provide as much fall as possible in drip pipe. (1" fall for each 4' of drip pipe.)

C Avoid long runs in drip pipe which make it impossible to provide maximum fall in pipe.

C Provide a drip space between drip pipe and floor drain or sewer connection.

C Do not allow drip pipe to come in contact with uninsulated suction lines, which will
cause the condensation from your case to freeze.

CLEANING

To insure minimum maintenance cost, case should be thoroughly emptied and washedout
at least once a month. The exterior should be washed weekly. A mild soap and water
solution is recommended for painted surfaces of the cabinet. Do not use cleaners
containing abrasive materials or ammonia which will scratch or dull finish. The waste outlet
should be flushed with water following each cleaning.

WARNING: Never introduce water into the case faster than the waste
outlet can carry it away. Do not use steam or high pressure
systems to clean the case, as seals may be broken which
will cause the case to leak. When cleaning lighted shelves,
wipe down with a wet sponge or cloth so that water does not
enter the light rails. Do not use a hose or submerge shelves
in water.

HONEYCOMB

The honeycomb material located in the discharge air nozzel is fragile and must be handled
with care. The honeycomb should be inspected and cleaned after each six months of
service. Dirty or plugged honeycombs can easily be detected by use of a Dwyer #460 Air
Meter.

AIR VELOCITES

Merchandising Solutions By
3000
series Page 8

In order to measure case air velocities, a Dwyer 460 Air Meter should be used. All velocity
readings should be taken approximately one hour after defrost.

Refrigerated Jet: 650 to 700 fpm

Guard Jet: 500 to 560 fpm
Ambient Jet: 450 to 500 fpm

BALLAST

Ballasts for lights are located in the canopy. The canopy panel is held in place with sheet
metal screws and must be removed to service the ballasts.

DRAFTS

Drafts passing in front of the freezer must be eliminated or operation will be seriously
affected. Do not allow air-conditioning grille, electric fans, open doors or windows, etc. to
create air curents past the cabinet in excess of 50 fpm.

LOADING

Merchandise should not be placed in the fixture until all controls have been adjusted and
the case is at proper temperature. AT NO TIME SHOULD THE CASE BE STOCKED
BEYOND THE LOAD LINE OR OVER THE FRONT EDGE OF ADJUSTABLE
SHELVES. In doing so, you will seriously affect the performance which will result in higher
product temperatures and increase operating costs.

ELECTRICAL

All field installed wiring must comply with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES and
LOCAL CODES.

Merchandising Solutions By
3000
series Page 9

ELECTRICAL RACEWAY

An electrical raceway is provided with each case for wiring your fan, anti-sweat heaters,
and light circuits for case to case without using conduit. This applies, of course, when the
front bumper is properly secured into position. This is an approved method by the
Underwriters’ Laboratories; however, field wiring must be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

All field connections are made in the electrical raceway. Make sure that proper voltage is
supplied to your case. Check case nameplate for the required voltage for fans, anti-sweat
heaters, lights and defrost heaters. ALL CASES MUST BE GROUNDED. The Case
Data chart on page 15 shows the electrical ratings for your case. This is the same
information that appears on your refrigeration nameplate.

NOTE: Fan motors must operate continuously and panel must be marked
sufficiently to prevent the fan motors and anti-sweat heaters from
being turned off accidentally. When cases are multiplexed, add
the total of these amperage values to determine wire size and circuit
protection. Anti-condensate controllers can be used to control the
anti-condensate heater.

On electric defrost models, the defrost heater amperages of all cases on defrost circuit
should be added together, and if their rating exceeds the defrost time clock or condensing
unit breaker capacity, a defrost relay and circuit breaker must be employed and furnished
by others. Make sure that proper wire size and branch circuit protection are employed for
safe operation.

REFRIGERATION FAN MOTORS

Merchandising Solutions By
3000
series Page 10

The fan motors employed are permanently oiled for the life of the motor and requires no
periodic maintenance. They are wired according to the enclosed wiring diagram and must
run continuously. Access to the fans in the refrigerated circuit is obtained by removing the
deck pans in the lower display area. The guard circuit fans are accessible by removing the
lower front panel. The ambient fans can be serviced from the exterior top of each cabinet.

ANTI-SWEAT HEATERS
These heaters are placed in the case to prevent sweat and/or frost from forming on certain
areas of the case.
EXPANSION VALVE & SUPERHEAT

The expansion valve furnished with your case has been sized for maximum coil efficiency.
To adjust superheat, place a thermocouple under the expansion valve bulb. Read the
suction line pressure as near coil as possible. (If at the condensing unit, estimate suction
line loss at 2 PSIG.) Convert coil suction pressure to temperature. The difference between
coil temperature and the thermocouple temperature is superheat. (Use average superheat
when expansion valve is hunting.) Do not set superheat until cases have pulled down to
operating temperature and never open or close valve over 1/4 turn between adjustments
and allow 10 minutes or more between adjustments. Superheat should be set to 6-8
degrees F.

REFRIGERATION LINES
The refrigeration lines are located under the center bottom deck pans in the regrigerated

Merchandising Solutions By
3000
series Page 11

circuit. A refrigeration out let is provided in the front right hand end of the cases. Make
sure all refrigeration lines lie as close to the refrigerator bottom so as not to obstruct the air
pattern or interfere with the fans.

When the refrigerant lines interconnecting several cases on the same system are routed in
the guard air plenum, the suction lines must be insulated. See the section on
“Recommended Piping Practices” for additional details on piping practices.

These 8' and 12' cases have polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation. In opening a ferrule
hole, simply heat a piece of copper tubing of the same size as the tubing to be employed
and force it through the ferrule hole.

NOTE: Seal around lines after connections are made. Keep direct flame
from bottom of case, as heat will disintegrate the bottom
and insulation. Use a heat shield when welding near the bottom of
the cases.

REFRIGERANT
Expansion valves are supplied for the refrigerant specified on the original sales order.

HEAT EXCHANGER

Heat exchangers are standard in these cases. They aid to increase operating efficiency
and reduce frosting and flood-back to the compressor. Heat exchangers may not be used
if mechanical subcooling is incorporated in the system design.

OPERATION

On single condensing unit systems a thermostat should be used to control temperatures.

The thermostat bulb should be mounted in the discharge air. On parallel units, temperature
control can be provided by EPR valve, thermostat and liquid line solenoid or solid state low

Merchandising Solutions By

pressure controls on the compressor unit. The Recommended Control Settings chart on
page 14 shows approximate settings for merchandisers. Since many variables are
present in each installation, such as store temperature, length of tubing runs, temperature
desired in the case, etc., the case data is only a guide for the installer.

DEHYDRATION OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

Please read carefully before placing system into operation. To prevent scaling due to
brazing, dry nitrogen should be allowed to flow through lines at 2 psig while brazing
operations are taking place. After laying refrigerant lines, they should be blown out with dry
nitrogen before making final connection at fixture or condensing unit to prevent any foreign
matter beign left in the lines.

After the case has been pressure-tested and proven leak-free, it is recommended that the
case be dehydrated with a vacuum pump to 1000 microns for the first two evacuations and
500 microns on the third. The triple evacuation method requires evacuating the system
three successive times and breaking the first two vacuums with dry nitrogen. The third
vacuum would be broken with the refrigerant specified for the system.

CAUTION: During installation and service of this equipment, pre-cautions

Should be taken to prevent loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere.

AIR DEFROST MODELS - L5(F)(M)(A)1

At a present time, the defrost time clock stops the refrigeration to the case and energizes
the defrost relay. This causes the rotation of the fan motors in the guard jet to reverse. The
fans remain in this mode of operation until the coil temperature reaches 45 degree F. Each
cabinet has a bi-metal thermostat (45 degree F) mounted on the top of the coil at the right
hand end of the case. There is a removable panel for access.

When the bi-metal thermostat closes, the defrost is terminated. The case returns to the
refrigeration mode, and the guard fans return to their original rotation.

At present time, the defrost time clock stops the refrigeration to the case and energizes a
defrost contactor located at the condensing unit. This action applies power to the defrost
heaters in the case. All case fans run contiinuously in the same direction during defrost
and refrigeration cycles. The defrost heaters remain enerized until the defrost thermostat
terminates the cycle. When the discharge ai temperature reaches 60dg.F., the defrost is
terminated and the case returns to the refrigeration cycle.

Each case is equipped with an adjustable thermostat for defrost. This control is located in
the canopy at the left end, with access from the top of the case. The sensing bulb is located
in the refrigerated (inside) air stream. Access to the bulb is through an opening in the
upper back wall of the case.

Also, electric defrost models are provided with a thermal safety (70dg.F cut-off) for each
defrost heater. The bi-metal safeties are tube mounted at the left end of the coil. There is
a removable panel for access.

The L(F)(A)1 cases for gas defrost are designed to be used on multi-compressor parellel
compressor systems equipped for revsrse cycle hot gas defrost. These cases are not
intended for use on single compressor gas defrost units.

At a present time, the defrost time clock stops the refrigeration to the case by de-
energzing a valve in the suction line at the condensing unit and simultaneously opening a
solenoid to feed discharge gas into the case suction line. The case fans run continuously,
in the same direction, during defrost and refrigeration cycles. At the case, hot gas is
diverted to the coil and the drain pan loop in a parallel manner. The condensded
refrigerant than bypasses the expansion valve through a check valve and returns to the
condensing unit. When the discharge air temperature reches 55 degree F, the defrost is
terminated and the case returns to the refrigeration cycle.

Each case is equipped with an adjustable thermostat for defrost. This control is located in
the canopy at the left end, with access from the top of the case. The sensing bulb is
located in the refrigerated (inside) air stream. Access to the bulb is through an opening in

NOTE: Temperature is measured in discharge air. Defrost frequency is at design condition.
(Max 75EF and 55% humidity) Higher Temperature or humidity may require defrost
and longer failsafes.

RECOMMENDED PIPING PRACTICES FOR KYSOR CASES

1. Proper size refrigeration lines are essential to good refrigeration performance.

Suction lines are more critical than liquid or discharge lines. Oversized suction
lines may prevent good oil return to the compressor. Undersized lines can rob
refrigeration capacity and increase operating cost. Consult the legend sheet for
proper line sizes.

2. Refrigeration lines in cases in line-ups can be reduced. However, the lines should
be no smaller than the main trunk lines in at least 1/3 of the cases and no smaller than
one size above the case lines to the last case. Reductions should not exceed on line
size per case. It is preferred to bring the main trunk lines in at the center of line-up. Liquid
lines on systems on hot gas defrost must be increased one line size above the
main trunk line for the entire line-up. Individual feed lines should be at the bottom of the
liquid header. (See proper liquid line piping diagram on page 32)

3. Do not run refrigeration lines from one system through cases on another system.

4. Use dry nitrogen in lines during the brazing to prevent scaling and oxidation.

5. Insulate suction lines from the cases to the compressor with 3/4" wall thickness
foam on low temperature cases to provide maximum of 65-degree sub-cooled
gas back to the compressor and prevent condensation in exposed areas.
Insulate suction lines on medium and low temperature case that are not
mechanically sub-cooled for proper operation.

6. Suction and liquid lines should never be taped or soldered together. Adequate
heat exchanger is provided in the case. Kysor recommends use of the heat
exchanger in all medium and low temperature case that are not mechanically sub-
cooled for proper operation.

7. Refrigeration lines should never be packed in the ground unless they are
protected against moisture and electrolysis attack.

8. Always slope suction lines down toward the compressor, ½” each 10'. Do not
leave dips in the line that would trap oil.

9. Provide “P” traps at the bottom of suction line risers, 4' or longer. Use a double
“P” traps for each 20' of risers. “P” traps should be the same size as the
horizontal line. Consult the technical manual or legend sheet for proper size risers.

10. Use long radius ells and avoid 45-degree ells.

11. Provide expansion loops in suction lines on systems on hot gas defrost. An
expansion loop is required for each 100' of straight run.

12. Strap and support tubing to prevent excessive line vibration and noise.

13. Brazing of copper to copper should be with a minimum of 10% silver. Copper to
brass or copper to steel should be with 45% silver.

14. Avoid the use of “bull head” tees in suction lines. An example is where suction
enters both ends of the tee and exits the center. This can cause a substantial
increase inpressure drop in the suction lines.

15. When connecting more than one suction line to a main trunk line, connect each
branch with an inverted trap.
