1.2. GENERAL PURPOSE

Control units are located at the top of the instrument. The air inside is sucked by the fan
that is located at the top of the chamber then passes through the evaporator that is
located at the top, between the chamber and the body and again enters to the chamber
from the opennings at the back side of the chamber. The cooling function and the air
circulation is provided by this way. The KN series blood bank refrigerators are
microprocessor controlled units.

SERVICING
Caution: Before servicing the instrument, please take the necessary precautions both
for your health and environmental safety. Please respect the warnings on the unit!!

3.1. GENERAL OVERVIEW

The failures can be diagnosed with the following tables.

Most of the arising problems may be confirmed by a multimeter.

The components on the main PCB must not be replaced even the failure is caused by one of
the components on the main PCB. In this case, please send the failed PCB to factory service
along with a note on which the failure explanations are written.

Before replacing the PCB or any control element, please make sure that the failure is not
caused by weak wire and terminal connections.

3.4. COOLING SYSTEM FAILURES

CAUTION: Cooling system failures should only be handled by the trained and
experienced technicians.

3.4.1. Checking for Leakage in the Cooling System

• Discharge the gas existing in the cooling system.

• Connect the maximum pressure manometer hose of the gas manifold to the compressor
service line (See Figure 3).
• Charge nitrogen gas to the system.
• Check the welding points, the gas solenoid valve connection records, the compressor
service line valve needle by the gas leakage detector or soap bubble.
• Detect the leakage, discharge the nitrogen gas and repair the leakage.
• Re-charge nitrogen gas to the system to see if another leakage exists or not.
• If no leakage exists, discharge the nitrogen.

3.4.2. Vacuuming the System

• Connect the maximum pressure hose of the gas manifold to the vacuum pump, the
minimum pressure hose to the compressor service line and the gas charge hose to gas
charge cylinder.
• Open the minimum and maximum pressure valves.
• Operate the vacuum pump and vacuum the system for at least 60 minutes.
• Stop the vacuum pump after closing the maximum pressure valve.

3.4.3. Charging Gas to the System

• Turn on the instrument, make a program for –10 ° C.

• Charge gas to the system by opening the valve on the gas charging cylinder.
• Start the program.
• Close the valve on the gas charging cylinder after R134a gas has been charged.
• Adjust the gas amount while following the cooling performance.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
4.1 HOW TO MEASURE THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE

• Insert the calibrated external sensor in the chamber from the calibration probe enterance
at the left side of the unit.
• Start the program.
• Please wait approximately 4 hours (after the set temperature) before measuring the actual
temperature by the external temperature sensor.
• Be sure that calibrated external sensor does not touch any metal part or any of the blood
bags, it measures only the air temperature.
• If there is difference between the equipment’s display and the external sensor apply the
calibration procedure as below:

4.2 CALIBRATION

• Press “value increase & decrease buttons” together continuosly until you see “tEC” on the
display.
• Press “SET” and you see “tCP” on the display.
• Press “value increase button” to enter, “000” starts to flash.
• Make this value “211” by using “value increase button”.
• Press “SET” and you see “PrG / Con” flashing alternately.
• Press “SET” and you see “P00” on the display.
• Press “SET” with small intervals until you see “P03” on the display.
• Press “value increase button” to enter and you see a value on the display.
• Change the value that appears on the display according to the difference between the
equipment’s display and the external sensor.
For example, if the set temperature is 4°C and the external sensor measures 7°C, increase
the value, which appears on the display, by adding 3; if the set temperature is 4°C and the
external sensor measures 0°C, decrease the value, which appears on the display, by
subtracting 4 by using “value increase or decrease keys”.
• Press “SET” to validate and you see “P04” on the display.
• Press “SET” with small intervals until you see “PrG / Con” flashing alternately.
• Then press “alarm mute button” to return to the stand-by mode.

NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER PARAMETERS!!!
