Introduction

The philosophy behind the VLS SDD system is:

• Simplicity
• Safety
• Robustness
• Reliability

The VLS SDD system is composed of:

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

The VLS 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 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.
