This chapter contains the safety instructions which you must follow when installing, operating and servicing the Power
Protector Stabilizer MFS. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow and/or damage may occur to the PPS MFS. Read the safety instructions before you work on the unit. These warnings are intended for all who work on the PPSMFS, or cable.
WARNING! The work described in this chapter may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Ignoring the safety instructions can cause physical injury, death or/and damage to the equipment. Make sure that the device is disconnected from the mains (input power) during installation.

Beware of hot surfaces. Some such as transformer, may remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.

Electrostatic discharge warning warns of electrostatic discharge which can damage the equipment.
- Only qualified personnel are allowed to install and maintain the PPS_MFS.
- The ECU contain components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Do not open the plastic enclosure or touch the fast-on terminals.
- PPS MFS is intended to be built into commercial refrigeration appliances or other enclosures that provide protection against certain external influences and in any direction, protection against direct contact and electric shock. It shall be installed in an area where it is inaccessible without disassembly of the enclosing area.
- Never work on the PPS_MFS or its wiring when mains power is applied. Always ensure that the voltage between the device input terminals, labeled INPUT and NEUTRAL, is close to 0V, by measuring with a multimeter (impedance of at least 1 MOhm). Externally supplied control circuits may cause dangerous voltages on the device even when the mains power on the drive is switched off.
- Do not perform any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the device.
- When reconnecting the wiring, always check that the Phase - Neutral order is correct.
- Do not change the electrical installations of the PPS_MFS. Changes may affect the safety performance or operation of the device unexpectedly. The customer is responsible for all customer-made changes.
- Make sure that dust from boring and grinding does not enter the drive when installing. Electrically conductive dust that enters the unit may cause damage or malfunction.
- Do not fasten the device through welding.
Note:
-
Traces of rust on sharp edges and any yellowish film (removable by rubbing) that may appear on outer surfaces of the autotransformers iron cores due to certain conditions (marine environments, high humidity, rain, snow, wind, dust, pollution, ultraviolet rays, and sea salt), have no effect in high reliability performance and lifetime of the product.
-
The fast-on terminals on the device are at a dangerously high voltage when the input power is on.
Installation and maintenance work
- The Voltage stabilizer consist of two parts, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the Autotransformer (Trafo). The ECU and the Trafo of the device is delivered in separates cardboard box. The type, size and material of the package depend on the frame size of the Autotransformer.
- The parts of the Voltage stabilizer must be connected by using fast-on terminals taking in care the coloring code of the cables and ECU.
- Confirm compatibility with connection terminals as well as insulation. The connectors are Fast On terminals 6.3x0.8mm


Before powering the device:
- Confirm color coding between ECU and Autotransformer
Fuse trouble shooting
How to determine why the thermal magnetic breaker nuisance trips?
The thermal magnetic breaker is installed to protect the build-in voltage stabilizer.
Cause: Circuit breakers trip.
Resolution:
-
First, determine if the breaker trips on startup or if it trips after running for a while.
-
If it trips at start-up but doesn't do it repeatable, it is caused by inrush current to either the voltage stabilizer or the compressor. Resetting the breaker will have no harm on the appliance
-
If it trips at start-up and does it multiple times, there is a short circuit within the appliance and a service technician should be contacted.
-
If it breaks after some time, the appliance is overloaded. Ensure that the condenser and engine room are clean and give the unit some minutes to cool down before resetting the fuse. The start electronic on the compressor can also be faulty causing the compressor to run on the start condenser constantly.
Maintenance, diagnostic and repair procedures
The Voltage stabilizer is maintenance-free and is made up of non-repairable / refurbishable parts. In the event of a failure of the Voltage stabilizer, both ECU and Trafo have to be replaced with new unused units. Part replacement is not advisable.

Generale description
The temperature controller has three temperature controllers with their own setpoint and hysteresis.
Relay 1 is controlled by ice bank sensor. Relay 2 is controlled by freezer sensor. Heater is controlled by surface sensor.
Controlling loads
Compressor
The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe with a positive differential from the set point: if the temperature increases and reaches set point plus differential the compressor is started and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.

Heater
The regulation is performed according to the temperature measured by the thermostat probe with a negative differential from the set point: if the temperature decreases and reaches set point minus differential the heater is started and then turned off when the temperature reaches the set point value again.
The heater is PWM controlled to ensure constant power independent of the supplied voltage. The heater PWM percentage is calculated as ( )

Regulation frequency
The measurement frequency of all sensors is 1 Hz. The compressors are also controlled at a 1 Hz rate, but are prevented to start based on the (AC) parameter.
Datalogger
Datalogger
The controller has a built-in data logger, fulfilling the requirements of WHO/PQS/E006/DL01.
The logger is primarily tasked with maintaining relative time, recording appliance data
objects, generating and recording logger data objects, and making that data available in a standardized way to other equipment monitoring devices and systems.
All data is logged in a 15-minute interval, except lid sensors which are logged instantly.
Data for the last hour is logged in a separate file in a 10-second interval for troubleshooting.
The data can be accesses by the USB-C port.
Time keeping, stand alone
The logger will keep its own relative time starting from the production date. When the battery is drained or the device is turned off, the time keeping will pause and will automatically restart when the device is turned on.
Time keeping, interanl connection to level 3
When a level 3 device is connected to the internal connector, the time will be set based on the clock from GPS or 4G connection.
Max and min Temperature memorization
It is possible to see that minimum and maximum temperatures for the last 30 days.

In case of an alarm, the display will display the alarm code and the buzzer will sound an alarm.
An alarm can be muted by pressing any button. The display shall still display the alarm code.
During alarm, the display will alternate between the alarm code and the temperature.
Pressing the bu

Pressing the button after muting, will reset the alarm.
During battery operation, only high and low surface temperature sensor alarms will be set. (if the temperature is high, there is no longer a charged ice bank and the remaining battery capacity can be used to send alarms).
List of alarms and error codes
The following alarms are monitored and logged:
| Alarm type Thres- | hold | Dura-tion | Blanking period | List of Error Codes |
| LoA (low temperature) AL1 | Ad1 Ab1 A | - Vaccine temp. | sensor error | |
| HiA (high temperature) AH1 | Ad2 Ab2 B | - Ambient temp. | sensor error | |
| Lid 1 open L1T L1A C - Ice | bank temp. | sensor error | ||
| Lid 2 open L2A D - Surface | temp. | sensor error | ||
| Low battery datalogger Lbd | E - Freezer temp. | sensor error | ||
| Low battery EMS Lbe F - Vaccine comp. | door malfunction | |||
| Real time clock battery low | G - Freezer comp. | door malfunction | ||
| High temperature freezer | H - Power measure-ment error | |||
| DC barrel plug fault | I - Compressor 1 malfunction | |||
| Heating cable short circuit | J - Compressor 2 malfunction | |||
| Heating cable open circuit | K - Fan malfunction | |||
| Fan blocked | Z - Missing/incomplete data records |
Blanking period is the time from the unit is turned on until the alarm is activated, giving the refrigerator time to cool down. This is done to avoid false alarms.
Battery mode
The controller will run on battery mode when the supply voltage is too low.
When the controller is running on battery, all regulation loops are deactivated. The hold over time calculation is still active.
The displays are turned off.
By pressing the button, the temperature of the refrigerator is shown for 3 seconds. Pressing the button again within 3 seconds will show the remaining hold over time. The symbol will also light up.
The battery capacity is only designed to show a minimum number of temperatures/ hold over time. If the display is used excessively during battery mode, the battery might not last long enough to log the vaccine temperature.
Display turn on is logged.
Long press plus confirmation press will put the device on standby/wake the device.
If external power is supplied through the USB-C port, the data logger shall wake up
and present its file system. The symbol will flash to indicate data transfer.
Hold over time
The controller can estimate the time remaining before the vaccine compartment gets too warm. The estimate is conservative, but based on idealized conditions. The estimate will be affected by, among others, how much the refrigerator is filled and the installation location.
Fault handling
If the ice bank sensor is defective (open line or short circuit) the compressor will stop, and the display will show P3A (sensor 3 alarm).
If the surface sensor is defective (open line or short circuit), both the compressor and the heater will stop, and the display will show P1A (sensor 1 alarm).
If the surface sensor is below (LST), the compressor is switched off and the display will show LST.
If all other sensors fail, the display will show PxA (sensor x alarm), but the control will continue.
All faults must be logged.
Safety thermostat
The controller has an analogue safety thermostat on the circuit board. The safety thermostat prevents the compressor from running in case of a fault in the heating circuit. The set-point for the safety thermostat is set by a DIP switch. It is not possible to see if the safety thermostat is active.
Production mode
The controller has an analogue safety thermostat on the circuit board. The safety thermostat prevents the compressor from running in case of a fault in the heating circuit. The set-point for the safety thermostat is set by a DIP switch. It is not possible to see if the safety thermostat is active.
Turning the appliance on and off
The appliance is designed to be always on, but can be switched off if necessary.
The controller is designed for both AC and SDD. The user does not need to know the difference as the controller will handle it automatically.
Whenever the appliance is turned on, the controller and datalogger will turn on
AC mode
When the MCB is switched on, the voltage stabilizer will start a delay timer (approximately 5 minutes) before switching on the power. If the MCB is switched off or the supply voltage is out of range, the data logger will continue running on internal battery. When eventually the battery is drained, the datalogger will also turn off.
When the supply voltage is back in range, the controller and datalogger continue running.
SDD mode
The supply voltage from the PV cells needs to be above a certain threshold before the controller is turned on. This is defined on the DOV parameter.
The supply voltage from the PV cells needs to be above a certain threshold before the compressor is turned on. This is defined on the DOV parameter. If the supply voltage drops below the CSV voltage the compressor output is turned off and is not allowed to turn on again before after a blanking time, defined by the CBT parameter.
Turning the appliance off
If the appliance needs to be turned off, it is important to switch off the datalogger.
Level 1 display: Long pressing the and a short confirmation press

Level 2/3 display:
It is important to switch off the MCB and disconnect the appliance when it is switched off. When power is reapplied, the controller will automatically restart

⚠️ Important Safety Note
R600a (isobutane) is highly flammable. Work only if you are a trained technician, in a well-ventilated area, with no ignition sources. Use tools rated for hydrocarbon refrigerants.
Safety First
• Work only in a well-ventilated, spark-free area.
- Use only tools rated for flammable refrigerants.
- Wear goggles, gloves, and anti-static shoes.
- Never overcharge — hydrocarbons are highly sensitive to charge weight.
Service Instruction: Recharging a Vaccine Refrigerator with R600a: Check the Rating label
1. Preparation & Safety
- Tools and equipment needed:
- Manifold gauge set (rated for hydrocarbons)
- Vacuum pump
• Electronic refrigerant scale (±1 g accuracy) - Recovery pump & recovery cylinder (for hydrocarbons)
- Leak detector (hydrocarbon compatible)
- PPE: gloves, goggles, anti-static shoes
- Confirm system type label: Check the Rating label
- Ensure no sparks, flames, or electrical switches near the work area.
2. Recovery of Old Refrigerant
- Connect the manifold gauge set to the service port.
- Connect the recovery pump and recovery cylinder.
- Recover all existing refrigerant until system pressure is at 0 bar / 0 psi.
- Weigh the recovery cylinder to confirm the amount removed.
3. System Evacuation
- Connect the vacuum pump to the service port through the manifold.
- Evacuate to at least 500 microns (0.67 mbar).
- Hold the vacuum for 10–15 minutes to check for leaks.
-
If vacuum rises, locate and repair leaks before continuing.
-
Charging the New Refrigerant
-
Place the R600a cylinder on the electronic scale.
-
Connect the cylinder to the manifold gauge set.
-
Purge air from the charging hose (a tiny crack of refrigerant released, in a safe ventilated area).
-
With the cylinder upright (for vapor charging):
- Charge exactly: Check the Rating label of R600a into the system.
- Close valves and disconnect charging hoses.
⚠️ Critical: Do not overcharge. A few grams extra can cause high pressure, poor performance, or compressor failure.
-
System Start-Up
-
Switch on the refrigerator.
-
Monitor low- and high-side pressures during operation.
-
Check compressor current draw against nameplate data.
-
Allow system to stabilize for 15–20 minutes.
-
Performance Check
-
Measure cabinet temperature — vaccine refrigerators typically must maintain +2 °C to +8 °C.
-
Verify evaporator temperature and cooling cycle are correct.
-
Check for abnormal noises or excessive frost.
-
Leak Test & Finalization
-
Use a hydrocarbon leak detector around compressor, service valve, and joints.
-
Seal the service port with a cap or brazed shut.
-
Label the unit with:
• Refrigerant type: R600a
- Charge: Check the Rating label
• Service date and technician ID

Keep drain clean

- The drain is in the bottom 2. Remove the filter if there is getting any problems with the drain.

If the appliance drain becomes blocked by any objects, the water can't drain away as it should from the vacciencompartment, which will result in water accumulating, which further could result in creating issues with the stored vaccine vials, stickers, cardboard boxes, etc.
This is why it is an important SOP procedure, to regularly ensure that the drain filter is clean and free from dirt and waste.
To do the cleaning, use lukewarm water with a mild cleaning agent on a soft cloth, and wipe off the filter along with the surrounding bottom.
Finish off with a dry dishtowel or similar, to ensure all objects are removed and the bottom is dry.


- Use a very small bottle cleaner, if cleaning becomes necessary in the tube.
