Introduction

The philosophy behind the VLS 024 SDD system is:

• Simplicity
• Safety
• Robustness
• Reliability

The VLS 024 SDD system is composed of:

• VLS 024 SDD refrigerator
- Solar panels
• Installation equipment for the solar panels
- Wires from the solar panels to the VLS 024 SDD

The VLS 024 SDD is a vaccine refrigerator. It has one compartment for vaccine storage (+2°C to +8°C) equipped with 1 basket.

With correct installation and by following a few maintenance routines, the system will work trouble-free for many years.

Operational guidelines

The compressor requires that the solar panels are able to deliver a power above a certain threshold in order to start. When started, the compressor is able to operate at lower power consumption than the starting threshold. The compressor may need a couple of starting attempts to get running. So be patient!

During days with changing weather conditions, the compressor may start and stop several times.

The noise coming from the VLS 024 SDD appliance is low, and primarily comes from a fan cooling the compressor.

The compressor is almost noiseless. The fan starts a moment before the compressor and stops a moment after the compressor.

The controller is factory set and should be adjusted only by authorized personnel.

Basket is included when the appliance is supplied and this MUST be used for storing the medicine.

Reserving the right to alter specification without prior notice.

Before the appliance is loaded with vaccine, the ice pack ballast must be frozen. The cool-down time in an ambient temperature of 43^ C will be approx. 5-7 days.

When the temperature on the display of the thermometer is approx. +4°C in the morning, the appliance is ready for loading vaccine. Check the temperature in the basket. The temperature must be between +2°C and +8°C.

The vaccines must be placed and arranged as shown on page 8, fig 7.

The temperature in the vaccine compartment must always be monitored on the thermometer and be between +2°C and +8°C. The controller is factory set and should not be adjusted by unauthorized personnel.

Loading the appliance

Loading vaccines

When the temperature in the vaccine compartment has stabilized, i.e. and the temperature is between +2° and +8°C and the compressor stops and starts, vaccines can be loaded. The vaccines should be placed and arranged in the basket.

To ensure air-circulation and prevent too low vaccine temperature, direct contact to the inside walls must be avoided. The Vaccine load in the basket shall not be above top of the basket.

Do not load the basket more than 15 kg.

MAX 15 kg.

Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance of the VLS 024 SDD Daily maintenance:

The temperature in the vaccine compartment must always be monitored on the thermometer every morning and evening. Please note that the vaccine in the appliance may not freeze. The temperature is factory set, and should not be adjusted by unauthorized personnel.

Please check each day that the internal lid is placed correctly and that the lid fits tightly to the appliance.

Weekly maintenance: Remove any water at the bottom of the refrigerator with a cloth.

Wipe of water droplets on the inside wall.

Monthly maintenance::

Clean grille for compressor compartment.

Clean the refrigerator with lukewarm water and mild detergent.

6 Month maintenance:

Clean condenser coils.

Maintenance of the solar panels Weekly maintenance:

The solar panels are to be cleaned for dust once each week – or as required. Cleaning must be carried out with water using a soft cloth or wash rag.

Monthly maintenance:

Avoid shading. It should be regularly monitored that shades do not come up such as new towering trees, as this will decrease the amount of energy produced by the system.

Yearly maintenance:

Electric connections and components are to be checked and cleaned at least once a year or more often if required. Because of risk of fire, it is necessary to remove dust and dirt. Checking that PV panels are clean, free of fractures, scratches, corrosion, moisture penetration and browning.

Cabling should be checked to ensure it is secure.

Checking the mounting hardware to ensure it is in good condition and ensuring the earth connection is continuous

Checking of junction boxes to ensure there is no water accumulation and that the integrity of lid seals, connections and clamping devices is intact.

Checking of junction boxes to ensure there is no water accumulation and that the integrity of lid seals, connections and clamping devices is intact.

All bolts and nuts are to be re-tightened 2 weeks after installation, and then once a year.

Cleaning

WARNING:

Switch off the power supply on the front of the unit.

The best way to clean the appliance is by using luke warm water with a small amount of unscented detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from running into the control panel.

The sealing strip around the lid must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

If the appliance is not being used for any period of time, switch the appliance off, disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance, clean the inside, and leave the lid open to allow air circulation and prevent smells.

Condensation water drainage

Due to humidity in the air combined with cold surfaces inside the vaccine compartment, it should be expected that condensation will form on the sides of the inner lining. The condensation will be collected at the bottom, from where it regularly needs to be drained. If the bottom of the vaccine compartment is covered with condensation water, drainage/drying should be initiated.

Condensation increases if:

• Equipment is opened too frequently.
- Lid not closing properly.
- Lid gasket is defective.
• High level of humidity.

Drainage of condensation water is recommended to performed in the morning between 7am to 9am when the ambient temperatures are expected to be lowest. Proceed as follows:

IMPORTANT!

Before condensation drainage vaccines must be moved to another working ILR or cold box with conditioned icepacks.

1. Disconnect the power supply by switching off the ON/OFF power button or disconnect plug from power socket.
2. Open the drainage plug, placed inside the vaccine compartment.

3. Place a tray under the condensation water drain.

4. When all the condensation and water droplets on the lining has been removed carefully, clean the inside cabinet, as well as lid, lid gasket, and outside of the cabinet, using water with a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry the vaccine compartment with a soft cloth, and make sure, no moisture is remaining after cleaning.

5. Reinsert the internal drainage plug, and check lid gasket is not faulty.

6. Reconnect the power supply by the ON/OFF power button and/or reconnect power plug.

7. When appliance has regained required safe temperatures for storing vaccines 2^-8^ , place the vaccines in neat rows with space.
