ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS, MOTORS, AND
TRANSFORMERS.
CAUTION
BEFORE PERFORMING INSTALLATION OR
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES, THE POWER TO THE
EQUIPMENT MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS INSTRUMENT TO
RAIN OR EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.

ATTENTION
THE BATTERY DOES NOT POWER THE COOLING SYSTEM.
WARNING
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE METAL COVER SCREEN
ON BACK OF FREEZER TO MAKE CONNECTIONS TO

Connection to the alarm relays and audible alarm require external control relays that are not part of the
control assembly. One relay is utilized to provide remote contacts for customer connection for remote
alarm indication (shown as CR1 in the following diagram) and is optional. The other relay is utilized for the
audible alarm silence (shown as CR2 in the following diagram) which is required.
Note that alarm 3 (low battery) is utilized for indication only. When an alarm relay is energized, the
corresponding alarm indicator, AL1 for alarm 1 (temperature), AL2 for alarm 2 (power failure) or AL3 for
alarm 3 (low battery), will be illuminated on the upper left of the C42 LCD display. When either a high/low
temperature or power failure alarm activates, the audible alarm will sound as power from the alarm
contact will pass through the normally closed contact of relay CR2. When the silence button is pressed,
the coil of relay CR2 will be energized. Since the normally open contact of CR2 will then close, power will
pass through the relay contact and will in turn hold the relay coil energized even after the push-button is
released.
This will hold the normally closed contact of the relay open, removing power from the audible alarm so
that it will no longer sound. Once both alarm conditions are no longer present, both alarm 1 and alarm 2
outputs of the C42 will be de-energized. This will in turn remove power from the coil of relay CR2 causing
it to de-energize. This will then ensure that upon the next activation of either the temperature or power
failure alarm output, power will again pass to the audible alarm causing it to sound until the alarm
condition clears or the operator presses the silence button.
