GBOperational 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 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 is proposed to be used for arranging vaccine storage. The philosophy behind the VLS 096A RF SDD system is:

• Reliability The VLS 096A RF SDD system is composed of:

• Vaccine refrigerator and Waterpack freezer

• Installation equipment for the solar panels

• Wires from the solar panels to the VLS 096A RF SDD. The VLS 096A RF SDD is a vaccine refrigerator and a waterpack freezer. It has one compartment for vaccine storage (+2°C to +8°C) equipped with 1 basket and one compartment for storing and freezing waterpacks. With correct installation and by following a few maintenance routines, the system will work trouble-free for many years.

Cleaning must be carried out with water using a soft cloth or wash rag.Monthlymaintenance: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. Yearlymaintenance: Electric connections and components are to be checked and cleaned at least once a year or more often if required. Because of risk of re, it is necessary to remove dust and dirt.Checking that PV panels are clean, free of fractures, scratches, corrosion, moisture penetration and browning. Maintenance and cleaning

7. To prevent water from damaging the

oor during defrosting, it is advisable to check the defrost water tray from time to time and to cover the oor around the defrost water drain to protect against ice and splashes. When all the frost and ice have melted, clean the inside cabinet, as well lid, lid gasket, and outside of the cabinet using water with a mild, perfu- me-free detergent. Dry the freezer with a soft cloth, and make sure no moisture is remaining after cleaning.

8. Reinsert the internal and external

drainage plugs, and check lid gasket is not faulty. 9.Important!Screw back in position the drain plug, and turn on again the power supply with the ON/OFF button.

10. Check waterpacks are not leaking be-

fore returning them to the freezer com- partment. Place waterpacks according instructions, approx. 5 minutes after having switched it on. Close the lid. The water-packs stored and the humidity of the air gradually causes frost and ice to form in the freezer compartment. A thin layer of frost or ice does not a󰀨ect freezer performance, but a thick layer could cause the freezer not to cool water-packs satisfac- tory. Small amounts of loose frost can be removed using a plastic scraper. Never use electrical apparatus or sharp im- plements as these may damage the inside of the appliance. When the layer of frost and ice exceeds 4-5 mm the freezer should be completely defrosted. Defrosting should be performed in the morning between 7am to 9am, just before the solar radiation again is powerful enough to start compressor and run refrigeration system. Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the power supply by switch-

ing o󰀨 the ON/OFF button. Important! ONLY switch o󰀨 the power supply of the freezer compartment.

2. Remove all water-packs from freezer

compartment. Place them in an empty coldbox or wrap them up to keep them as cold as possible.

3. Keep the freezer lid open.

4. Unscrew the drain plug placed front

right-hand side underneath the appli- ance.

5. Place a tray under the defrost water

ter in the freezer, close the lid and wait approx. 30 minutes before removing loose frost with the plastic scraper. 07:00 A.M.

GBg.17 Drain The appliance is equipped with an auto- drainage function, with a drain hole at the bottom of the vaccine compartment. The drain is collecting the water droplets generated by the unavoidable condensation that at some point will be created on the in- ner linings of the vaccine compartment, due to the fact of warm air hitting the cold surface of the wall. This condensation eventually will run down the sides to the bottom, and water then ows down the drain tube into a drip tray located on top of the compressor which evaporates the liquid as it warms. 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 proce- dure, to regularly ensure that the drain lter 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 o󰀨 the lter along with the surrounding bottom. Finish o󰀨 with a dry dishtowel or similar, to ensure all objects are removed and the bot- tom is dry. This is why it is an important SOP procedure, to regularly ensure that the drain lter g.17 is clean and free from dirt and waste. g.16 g.18

GBTrouble-shooting Fault Possible cause Remedy Compressor is not run- ning, and the ice packs are not cold Be patient, it is most likely that the compressor will start within a few minutes. If this is not the case, check the fol- lowing: - Check that power is connected and that the wire from the solar panel to the appliance is intact. - Check the fuse and replace it if necessary. - If the above is OK, call technical supervisor. Compressor is running, and the temperature is too high The ventilation grill is blocked. The lid is not closed properly. The fan in the compressor compart- ment is blocked or defective. The temperature in the room in which the appliance is installed is too high. Ensure unhindered air circulation. Ensure that the lid is closed properly. Check that the fan is running, if not it should be replaced. Shield the appliance against direct sun light and ensure more ventilation to the room. Temperature in VLS 096A RF SDD is too low To low set point on digital controller Contact technical supervisor for ajustment. No temperature is displayed There is not enough light for the solar sensor. Turn on the light. No light in green diode during day time Switch is turned OFF Fuse is burned Diode is defect Turn on the switch Replace the fuse. Replace diode. Table 3 Drain
