Voltage-free contact
This part of the manual covers the voltage-free
contact.

The illustration below shows the three connectors for the relay (used ex. in connecting to CTS or other external monitoring systems). The
three connections, are respectively. Common, NO and NC.

The moment when voltage is applied the controller draws the relay, this makes it possible for the controller to respond to both high and low
alarms, door alarms and power failures. Temperature alarms and door alarms must be configured in the external alarm settings (EAL) before
they will activate the voltage-free contact. Find instructions on setting external alarms in the Parameter settings section.

The wires that are connected in the connection block for the voltage-free contact, are secured in place by the press-fit plate that is pressed
onto the block, thereby also preventing access to the electrical circuit.

Connection of the voltage-free contact should be done by a qualified installer.

Mechanical low temperature protection
This part covers mechanical low temperature The illustrations below depicts the locations of the
protection low temperature protection on the different kinds of
cabinets in the BioMidi/BioPlus range.

Applicable to BioMidi 425, 625

- Only applicable to models with mechanical low temperature
protection -

Mechanical low temperature protection is an independent module

that is connected to the compressor.

It measures the cabinets temperature and turns off the compressor

(cut-off) if the temperature in the cabinet drops below the set value,
ensuring that the cabinet does not become colder.

Please note that low temperature protection is set to between +2

and +2,5ºC as factory settings.

Ensure that the scale is set at the correct temperature prior to

installation.

The scale of the low temperature protection is turned

counterclockwise to adjust the “cut-off” down, and clockwise to
adjust the “cut-off” up.

Applicable to BioPlus 500,

600/660 and 1270/1400

Example:

The compressor is turned off by the low temperature protection at

2.5 ºC, the desired “cut-off” temperature is 1.5 ºC.

Turn the scale on the low temperature protection counterclockwise

until the desired value is set.

 Ordinary use

The following part shows how items should be

placed and stored in the cabinet.

Keep the marked areas in the cabinet (shown on this page) clear
of all items, thereby ensuring adequate air circulation, and therein
cooling.

Do not place items beneath the lowest shelf bracket.

All products to be stored, that are not wrapped or packed, must be

covered in order to avoid unnecessary corrosion of the inner parts of
the cabinet.

! Items placed on the bottom of the cabinet will cause the

air circulation to be impeded, which reduces the cabinets
performance.

The items should be evenly distributed in the cabinet, with

minimum layer-thickness / maximum surface. And at the same
time, the air should be able to circulate freely between the
items.

The illustration on the right shows the maximum load height of the
cabinet.

All BioLine cabinets are equipped with an access
port on the back of the cabinets, this can be used
to easily fit external sensors and the like.

The illustration below shows an access port on a BioPlus 600 cabinet.

All access ports are constructed in the same fashion, with a conical polystyrene plug ( fitted from the back of the cabinet ) and a plastic cap
( fitted from the inside of the cabinet ).

Please note, it is very important to re-fit the polystyrene plug and plastic cap after mounting sensor, probe etc. Failing to do so can result in
lowered performance or break-down of the cabinet.
