Frequently Asked Questions - VLS 096A RF AC VESTFROST

What type of refrigerant does the VESTFROST VLS 096A RF AC use?
The appliance uses R600a (isobutane) as refrigerant. It is highly flammable, so only trained technicians should service it. The system contains exactly 50 g of R600a. Always work in a well-ventilated, spark-free area.
How do I defrost the refrigerator?
Frost formation on the interior evaporator wall is a natural phenomenon. To defrost, unplug the appliance and allow frost to melt naturally. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate defrosting, and never damage the refrigerant circuit. Clean the interior during the defrost process.
What is the purpose of the built-in voltage stabilizer?
The built-in PPS_MFS voltage stabilizer protects the appliance from voltage fluctuations and surges. It monitors voltage and frequency, provides overcurrent protection, and ensures a stable output voltage between 200-245 VAC even if the input varies from 110-285 VAC. It also includes a time delay to protect the compressor.
How can I access the data logger data?
The data logger records temperature every 15 minutes and stores the last hour in 10-second intervals for troubleshooting. You can access the data via the USB-C port. When external power is supplied through USB-C, the logger wakes up and presents its file system.
What alarms does the appliance have?
The appliance has audible and visual alarms for high/low temperature (HiA, LoA), open lid (L1A, L2A), low battery (Lbd, Lbe), sensor errors, and more. The display shows alarm codes and the buzzer can be muted by pressing any button.
How do I clean the drain to prevent blockage?
The drain is located at the bottom of the appliance. Remove the drain filter and clean it with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning agent. Use a very small bottle cleaner if the tube needs cleaning. A blocked drain can cause water accumulation in the vaccine compartment, which may damage vials and packaging.
What maintenance is required regularly?
Daily checks include monitoring temperature, lid sealing, and condensation. Weekly, remove any water at the bottom. Monthly, clean the grille for the compressor compartment. Every 6 months, clean the condenser coils. Yearly, check electrical connections. For solar-powered versions, clean solar panels regularly.
What should I do if the compressor is not running?
Wait a few minutes because the voltage stabilizer has a delay timer (up to 5 minutes). Check the power supply, fuse, and input voltage. If the compressor still does not start, contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt repairs on the flammable refrigerant system yourself.
Can I replace parts myself?
Only trained personnel should service the appliance to avoid hazards. The manual warns that changes to the appliance construction cancel all warranty and product liability. Follow the technical manual or contact Vestfrost Solutions for professional support.
How should I dispose of the appliance?
Do not dispose of the appliance as household waste. Take it to an applicable collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Remove the batteries and destroy locks to prevent child entrapment. Never attempt to remove refrigerants or compressor oil yourself.

VESTFROST VLS 096A RF AC - What this chapter contains - 2

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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

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:

  1. First, determine if the breaker trips on startup or if it trips after running for a while.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Storage

Should not be stored or and transport in high temperature or high humidity condition. Usage, beyond the specified shelf life could compromise product long term reliability. The suitable condition is +5 to +35°C and less than 95% RH in Relative Humidity indoor.

Applicable Ambient temperature and humidity range during transport and storage: -30 to +70°C, 5 to 95% RH.

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.

SET + HY

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 ( )

SET - HY HEATER ON

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.

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.

⚠️ 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

  1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the service port.
  2. Connect the recovery pump and recovery cylinder.
  3. Recover all existing refrigerant until system pressure is at 0 bar / 0 psi.
  4. Weigh the recovery cylinder to confirm the amount removed.

3. System Evacuation

  1. Connect the vacuum pump to the service port through the manifold.
  2. Evacuate to at least 500 microns (0.67 mbar).
  3. Hold the vacuum for 10–15 minutes to check for leaks.
  4. If vacuum rises, locate and repair leaks before continuing.

  5. Charging the New Refrigerant

  6. Place the R600a cylinder on the electronic scale.

  7. Connect the cylinder to the manifold gauge set.

  8. Purge air from the charging hose (a tiny crack of refrigerant released, in a safe ventilated area).

  9. With the cylinder upright (for vapor charging):

- Charge exactly: Check the Rating label of R600a into the system.

  1. Close valves and disconnect charging hoses.

⚠️ Critical: Do not overcharge. A few grams extra can cause high pressure, poor performance, or compressor failure.

  1. System Start-Up

  2. Switch on the refrigerator.

  3. Monitor low- and high-side pressures during operation.

  4. Check compressor current draw against nameplate data.

  5. Allow system to stabilize for 15–20 minutes.

  6. Performance Check

  7. Measure cabinet temperature — vaccine refrigerators typically must maintain +2 °C to +8 °C.

  8. Verify evaporator temperature and cooling cycle are correct.

  9. Check for abnormal noises or excessive frost.

  10. Leak Test & Finalization

  11. Use a hydrocarbon leak detector around compressor, service valve, and joints.

  12. Seal the service port with a cap or brazed shut.

  13. Label the unit with:

• Refrigerant type: R600a

- Charge: Check the Rating label

• Service date and technician ID

On-site checklist

  • Is the indicator light in the control panel on (Power check)?
  • Temperature records (manual records, FT2 data)
  • Is the internal temperature inside the acceptable range of +2° to +8° ?
  • Is the vaccine compartment clean and without condensation (water)?
    • Is the Compressor running?
  • Are baskets used and in place?
  • Is the appliance placed according to instructions in the manual?
  • Does the lid close tight to the cabinet and is the lid gasket in good condition?
  • Is the grille for the compressor compartment clean?
  • Are all electrical components working properly?
  • Overall condition of the cabinet – internal and external: any corrosion, rusting, cracks?
  • Inspection of the refrigeration system (the condenser, evaporator, the whole refrigeration circuit/line)?

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.
