General Information

The liquid level controllers used with these freezers operate from 12 VDC. Disconnect the electrical power
cord from the outlet before attempting any service.

General Information
The CS200 SERIES Control System can monitor and control both the liquid nitrogen level and the vapor
temperature range in the cryostorage unit you have selected. CS200 SERIES Control Systems are
designed to work with Voyager & Origin Series vessels from Froilabo. The features are designed to provide
a safe environment for samples while at the same time tracking all relevant information associated with the
freezer. This control provides a complete historical record of the environment in your unit and therefore, the
environment in which your samples have been stored in this system. This controller features a vacuum
fluorescent display.

The addition of a liquid nitrogen supply and inventory control racks for systematic retrieval of stored product
completes the total cryostorage system.

Cryovita vessels by Froilabo are designed for applications where extremely low temperature storage of
biological products is required. They are also appropriate for industrial or other applications where liquid
nitrogen temperatures and high capacity are needed.

Before beginning installation or operation of this CS200 SERIES Control System, make sure that you read
and understand this manual as well as the operating and safety instructions for the cryostorage unit you will
be using with this controller.

thoroughly. Know the location and function of all system components.
Initial fill
The cryostorage system, using the CS200 SERIES Controller, comes preset from the factory. The liquid
nitrogen supply pressure at the inlet to the freezer should be in the range of 10 psig (0.7 bar/69 kPa)
to 22 psig (1.5 bar/152 kPa) for optimum performance. Higher operating pressures will increase transfer
losses and create excessive turbulence of the liquid in the freezer which can generate false signals to the
liquid level controller causing the freezer to under fill. In “liquid phase” storage applications, excessive
turbulence can cause splashing which could result in personal injury.

Operation
Solenoid Valve
These units are designed to work with 12 VDC solenoid valve (see Figures 17.0, 17.1, and 17.2
Plumbing Assemblies on page 42).

Thermocouples
Type T thermocouples monitor the temperature in the freezer. The user may choose to use NONE, 1 or 2
thermocouples with this control at any time. (The unit comes complete with one Thermocouple)

Power Supply
A 12 VDC power supply is supplied for the CS200 SERIES Control System. This system is supplied
with a universal power supply that accepts 100/240 VAC (50/60 Hz). UL approval for the system as a
whole is not required since the control operates on low voltage. If your power source differs, or is subject
to disruption or line surges due to other equipment on line, consult your Froilabo representative.

Remote Alarm
If an error condition occurs after a user defined period of time, a remote alarm can be initiated. This is
accomplished by connecting a remote device to the remote alarm jack on the rear electrical panel. The 3-
pin jack on the back of the unit provides continuity between pin #2 (common) and pin #3 in the normal
condition. Continuity between pin #1 and pin #2 is provided in an error condition.

Operating Parameters
When materials are immersed in LN2, they will assume the temperature of the liquid (-196°C/-320°F).
When material is stored in the vapour phase over the liquid, the liquid nitrogen vapour is still a very
cold refrigerant, but the freezer’s interior temperature increases as product is stored higher above the
liquid. This temperature differential is not significant for many biological storage applications, and is
affected by the amount of product stored in the freezer, the type, size and material of the inventory
control system, and the liquid level in the unit.
The liquid level in the freezer is determined by the position of the of the Thermistor Assembly in the
sensor tube. These sensors are set at installation to maintain a specific liquid level. A filling cycle is
initiated when the level falls below the Start Fill sensor and is completed when the Stop Fill sensor is
reached. This filling cycle repeats when the level fall below the Start Fill sensor. Sensor Probe
assignments may be changed on the controller

keypad to define new start and stop levels, and these levels may be set independently to vary the liquid
level deference between fills. Prior to the initial fill of the freezer, a determination should be made whether
vapor phase or liquid phase storage will be utilized.

All units are supplied with an eight-thermistor assembly and a freeze-guard sensor unless otherwise
specified. The Origin factory setting positions will maintain liquid level within a distance of 2 in. (51 mm)
from the bottom of the carousel on the Origin 20K, 38K, 40K, 80K units, and 3 in. (76 mm) from the
bottom of the carousel on the Origin 94K. The Voyager Series factory setting positions will maintain liquid
level settings between 3 in. (76 mm) and 6 in. (152 mm).

Temperature Monitoring
The CS200 SERIES Control System uses a Type T thermocouple to monitor the temperature in the vessel.
The thermocouple is factory-installed near the top of the freezer vapour chamber and the temperature is
measured at that point.

The CS200 SERIES Control System accommodates a second thermocouple (optional) for temperature
measurement at a secondary location. This requires a Type T thermocouple.

The control provides a High Temperature Alarm for each thermocouple which can be selected by the user.
If the temperature exceeds the temperature alarm set point, the status wheel flashes and an audible alarm is
triggered.

Liquid Phase Storage


Liquid phase storage is normally utilized when (-196°C/-320°F) is required to maintain stored product
viability and the storage medium is adequate for storage in LN2. In a typical liquid phase storage
system, the liquid level sensors are positioned to maintain the liquid level at or below the top level of the
inventory control system. During operation, the upper levels of the inventory control system will at times
become exposed as the liquid level fluctuates.

Care must be taken to ensure that the liquid level remains below the bottom of the freezer lid. Exposure to
LN2 may result in physical damage to the lid. Additionally, operating the freezer with high liquid levels
characteristic of liquid phase storage may result in turbulence during fill cycles. Caution must be exercised if
the freezer lid is opened during a fill, and appropriate safety equipment should always be worn.
The Origin and Voyager vessels are factory set for vapour phase storage.

Maintenance
To ensure proper operation and maintain excellent performance of the Origin and Voyager freezers, an
annual maintenance schedule should be followed for the CS200 SERIES Control System. This would
include the following:

Controller Operation
This section of the operating manual is for Froilabo approved equipment that uses the CS200 SERIES
Control System.

Introduction
The CS200 Control System, temperature and LN2 level controller is designed for easy operation and reliable
uninterrupted service. This controller will maintain the selected liquid level range of LN2 in your freezer as
well as providing audible and visual alarms for any non-conforming conditions that may occur. An Alarm is
any condition outside the activated preset limits on the control, such as an open sensor circuit or
temperature alarm. “System Events” are lid openings and closings, solenoid valve openings and
closings, and operation of the controller’s relay for remote alarm indication. System Events, Alarms and
Temperature “Data” can be downloaded.

The System should require no additional attention to maintain liquid level if an adequate supply source of
liquid nitrogen is available. If your protocol calls for you to “top-off” the cryostorage vessel at the end of a
workday or workweek, press the FILL button. The unit will fill to the upper allowable liquid level and stop
automatically. You may choose to manually stop the fill by pressing the STOP button at anytime during the
fill.

Operation Data
The CS200 CONTROL SYSTEM stores data related to the operation of the Origin and Voyager
freezers. This data includes date, time, LN2 level, temperature, system events and error conditions. This can
be useful for audit purposes, operation analysis and preventive maintenance.

Communications
The CS200 CONTROL SYSTEM has been designed with advanced communications capabilities. This
allows for the transfer of data out of the control where the data can more easily be used. Please check
with your supplier for available protocols and compatible products.

Normal Fill Cycle


When the freezer is filled and the controller is operating, the START FILL and LOW ALARM sensors are
immersed in LN2. Their resistance values are interpreted by the controller as “in liquid”. At the same time,
the STOP FILL and the HIGH ALARM sensors are above the liquid pool, informing the control that these
sensors are in vapor. As LN2 evaporates, the liquid level in the freezer drops slowly until the START FILL
sensor is above the liquid and sends a different signal to the controller. After a delay sufficient to ensure the
signal, the controller interprets this condition as low liquid level and opens the solenoid valve, admitting
more liquid nitrogen from the supply source.
The freezer will fill slowly. The fill continues until the STOP FILL sensor sends the controller a signal that it is
now in liquid. The controller will close the solenoid valve to stop the fill. As liquid evaporates, the display will
indicate the liquid is at a normal level as the cycle begins again.

Control Setting Adjustments


Level
The standard sensor assembly that is installed on a freezer consists of a circuit board with thermistors
installed. The assembly has a maximum range of 6 in. (152 mm). Thermistor assignments can be changed
through the menu system and the operating range can be changed by either raising or lowering the
thermistor sensor assembly (offset) within the freezer.

CS200 Control Systems


25
Controller Operation
Temperature
The temperature in the Cryostorage freezer is measured at the location of the thermocouple. The
installation location is different depending on the model of the freezer but usually the thermocouple is
positioned level with the top storage box. This may mean that temperatures displayed may be slightly
warmer than the temperature experienced by the samples or product stored in the freezer.
Temperature Control
The CS200 SERIES Control System has the capability to control the vapor temperature at the top of
the freezer. The temperature is controlled at the location of thermocouple 1.
To maintain temperature, the CS200 SERIES Control System bubbles nitrogen gas through the
pool of LN2 in the bottom of the freezer. The nitrogen gas evaporates some of the LN2 causing a
cooling effect and reducing the temperature in the freezer. Since a pool of LN2 is important in the
process of temperature control, an adequate level is always maintained by the control systems and the
level control always takes precedence over temperature control. Temperature control will not work if
the LN2 level is above the High Level Alarm.
Enabling the temperature control feature will always increase the use of LN2. The increased
consumption will depend on a number of factors including the temperature to be maintained, the
range of the controlled temperature, the ambient temperature, the length of supply hose connected to
the freezer and the frequency which users open the lid or otherwise introduce heat.

Battery Operation
The CS200 SERIES Control System is designed to operate with or without an optional battery backup
system if required. Simply plug the battery into the appropriate connector. The control will recognize
that the battery has been connected and will activate the battery backup mode.

LED Status Wheel


The CS200 SERIES Control System offers an
innovative concept called a status wheel. In Condition LED Flash Property
normal operation, the LED’s on the status wheel Normal Clockwise pattern, 1 LED per second
light to show a slow rotation of the wheel. If an General Error Clockwise pattern, rapid rotation, flash
error
condition occurs, the control will alert the user
Table 4.0 LED Status Wheel Flash Patterns
with an additional visual alarm from the status
wheel.
The rotation can be accelerated, flashed or
even illuminated in the opposite direction.

Lid Switch
The lid switch consists of a magnet and a pickup installed on the lid. The control can determine when
the lid is opened because the magnet moves out of range of the pickup and the circuit becomes
open. A number of
features are associated with the lid switch such as Auto Defog, Quickchill and the Lid Open Too Long
Alarm. If the lid switch is deactivated, these features are also disabled.

Temperature Thermocouple Select


The chamber temperature is monitored with 1 or 2 Type T thermocouples. The thermocouple is placed
in the chamber to monitor temperature level at the top of the inventory system. Factory installation
includes one thermocouple inside the thermocouple tube at an elevation to match the height of
standard racks. A second Type T thermocouple may be added to monitor another location inside the
chamber. Both thermocouples can be activated/deactivated through the menu system.

Temperature Calibration
The CS200 CONTROL SYSTEM uses a Type T thermocouple to measure temperature within the
cryostorage freezer. The temperature curve for a thermocouple is nonlinear so it is important that the
CS200 CONTROL SYSTEM have a good calibration to provide accurate temperature readings. The
temperature is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ITS-90
Thermocouple Database.

There are three important reference points needed for calibration:


• Ambient Temperature: Room Temperature
• Ice Water: 0°C
• Liquid Nitrogen (LN2): -196°C (-320°F)

The ambient temperature is the temperature measured inside the control box and is
used to provide temperature compensation adjustment. This is calibrated at the
factory and should not be adjusted in the field.
Ice water and LN2 provide the reference points on the temperature curve. If these two points are
calibrated correctly then all other points (temperatures) on the curve are correct.
The accuracy of a thermocouple is +/- 1°C or +/- 1.5% of the reading, whichever is greater.
To check a calibration, dip the thermocouple in ice water and then LN2. If readings are
within accuracy specifications noted above, the temperature circuit on the control is
properly calibrated. If not, follow the steps below to calibrate the temperature.

Table 8.0 Temperature Calibration Instruction

Test Temperature System


The temperature circuitry can be checked at any time through the menu system. This check will tell if
the thermocouples are working or if they are “open” (broken or unplugged). If a thermocouple is not
connected to the control it will check as “open.” If a thermocouple is “Disabled” through the menu
system, it will not show up on the check.

Test Level Sensors


The sensor assembly can be tested through the menu system. The sensor diagnostics indicates the
sensor number and the status (whether in liquid or gas). If the control is set for an eight-thermistor it
will indicate 9 sensors in the diagnostics. The status is indicated with either an “O” for open, a “G”
for gas or an “L” for liquid. This is an easy means to tell if sensors are in or out of liquid or if a new
sensor assembly is needed (open or defective sensors).
If the sensor assembly is unplugged and the main control is still on, the display will indicate that a sensor error

CS200 Control Systems


36
Controller Operation

has occurred. This occurs because the control cannot differentiate between a very high resistance
(when a thermistor is in LN2) and an infinite resistance (when an open circuit appears in the level
sensing circuitry).

Alarms and Error Conditions


The CS200 SERIES Control System control monitors many different conditions in the freezer and has
a full complement of alarms associated with these different conditions. As alarms occur, they trigger an
audible tone as well as a flashing red light on the status wheel. A remote alarm relay is also triggered
following a user-designated period of time, after the error condition occurs, if it is not corrected. In
addition, the error condition is displayed on the top line of display until the error condition is corrected.
When an error occurs, the audible alarm may be muted by pressing the designated button. The
audible alarm will then be silent until activated by a new error condition or the alarm is not corrected
by the time the retrigger timer expires. A red light will continue to flash until all errors are corrected.
The remote alarm will be activated if the power is interrupted.
The High Temperature Alarm for Thermocouple #1 can be set through the menu system. This alarm is
activated if the temperature rises above the designated temperature. The alarm temperature can range
from 0°C (32°F) to -196°C (-320°F). It can also be disabled.
High Temperature Alarm for Thermocouple #2 can be set through the menu system. This alarm is
activated if the temperature rises above the designated temperature. The alarm temperature can
range from 0°C (32°F) to -196°C (-320°F). It can also be disabled.

System Alarms
A Low LN2 Supply Alarm can be set through the menu system. This alarm is activated if the solenoid
valve is not closed within a designated time period after a fill starts. The solenoid valve can be closed
either automatically (the LN2 level reaches the STOP FILL sensor) or manually (the Stop Fill button is
pressed). To change the timer which activates this alarm, the menu options for this alarm are None,
15, 30, 45, 60 minutes, 2 or 3 hours.
This alarm does not correct itself until the fill is stopped (the solenoid closes).
The Sensor Error Alarm can be set through the menu system. This alarm is activated if the control
detects a sensor error. The possible choices are ENABLE or DISABLE. An open sensor can be
confirmed through the TEST LEVEL SENSORS option in the menu system.
A Remote Alarm Timer can be set through the menu system. This is the amount of time before the
remote alarm relay is triggered if an error condition is not corrected. The possible choices are None,
Immediate, 30 minutes, 60 minutes or 2 hours.
Lid Open Too Long Alarm can be set through the menu system. This is the amount of time the lid can
be open before it triggers an alarm condition. The possible choices are None, 1, 2, 5 or 10
minutes.
Thermocouple Alarm can be set through the menu system. This alarm is activated if either
thermocouple experiences an open circuit. Your choices are ENABLE or DISABLE.

Test Alarms
Audible, visual and remote alarms can be tested at any time through the menu system. Follow the
instructions on the display to hear the audible indicator of an alarm, to see the red status wheel flash
or to trigger an immediate remote alarm.

Logging
On-board memory logging is one of the most powerful and useful features of the CS200 SERIES
Control System. It provides a historical record for the freezer and a complete record of the
environment in which specimens are stored.
CS200 Control Systems
37
Controller Operation
1. System Log: System logs are events that occur in the system including lid opening/closing, LN2
filling, Quick- Chill and Defog.
2. Error Log: Error logs are outside the activated preset limits detected by the system.
3. Temperature #1 Log and Temperature #2 Log (for use with optional thermocouple #2): The two
temperature logs are simply records of the temperatures recorded by the thermocouples in the
system.
All logs are kept in a non-volatile memory, meaning that the information is saved regardless of whether
the controller has power.

Display Brightness
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS changes the intensity of the display. The default setting is 10.

The sensor assembly is preset at the factory for vapor phase storage. If adjustments need to be made,
the following procedure will simplify the process.
The CS200 SERIES Control System control installed on the Froilabo cryostorage units operates with
specially designed software to match the design characteristics of your freezer. Refer to the chart below
to see the versions and their difference.
To make adjustments to a sensor assembly in a freezer filled with LN2, the following procedure can be used:
• Measure the LN2 in the freezer.
• Take this measured level and subtract the offset to determine how many sensors
should be in liquid.
a. Remove sensors.
b. Fill to correct level and turn off Liquid supply.
c. Eg. Level is to be 15 in. (381 mm) and sensor number 6 is currently and will remain
the Stop Fill. 15 in. (381 mm) – 6 in. (152 mm) = 9 in. (228 mm) offset. Set Offset to
9 in (228 mm).
• Go to “Test Level Sensor” through the CS200 SERIES Control System menu. “L” means
a sensor is in liquid and “G” means a sensor is in gas.
• Move the sensor up or down so that the appropriate numbers of sensors are in liquid (read “L”).
• Return to the CS200 SERIES Control System main screen and the level indicated should
match the physically measured reading.
The Sensor Offset, the START FILL and the STOP FILL can be set through the CS200 SERIES Control
System menu system.

Removing/Installing the Solenoid Valve


The LN2 and power must be turned off before beginning work on the solenoid valve.
For Origin Electrical Units
Disconnect the solenoid valve lead connection from the back of controller board.
To remove the solenoid valve, loosen the compression fitting that connects the plumbing tubing to the
fill tube. Remove the two (2) mounting screws that hold the solenoid valve to the solenoid bracket.
Remove the solenoid valve and its associated plumbing. Disconnect the plumbing from the inlet and
outlet side of the solenoid valve.
To install a new solenoid valve, attach the compression fitting to the fill tube then connect the
compression fitting to the elbow connected to the outlet side of the solenoid valve. Use Teflon tape
(three wraps) on all threaded.

Attach the compression fitting to the fill tube first and then connect the compression fitting to the elbow
that is connected to the outlet side of the solenoid valve. Position the solenoid valve onto the solenoid
valve bracket and reattach and tighten the two (2) mounting screws. Attach the solenoid valve lead
connection to the controller board.

Removing/Installing the Controller 10K/24K Voyager Units


Remove the cabinet top, follow the steps illustrated in Figure 17. Remove two (2) screws from the
display and lift it from the refrigerator far enough to detach its electrical connection wiring. Remove four
(4) screws from the top of the refrigerator and lift the cabinet top to gain access to the area between
the cabinet and the insulated inner vessel. On the 10K and 24K, the cabinet top may only be raised
as shown because of the lid hinges.

Do not remove the hinged lid. After the cabinet top is loosened and propped up, the electrical
connection wiring may be detached to allow access to its back panel connection. At the completion
of maintenance or repairs, reattach the electrical connection wiring from the controller to the
display.

Ice or frost in the sensor tube may restrict the movement of sensor probes in the tube. Do not pull
excessively on the sensor wiring while attempting to remove sensors. It may be necessary to remove
the sensor tube from the container and allowed it to thaw before the sensors can be removed.

To install the controller, install the electrical supply connections panel to the back of the refrigerator.
Feed the wiring harness from the electrical supply connections panel to the front of the refrigerator
and through the opening to where the display will be mounted. Attach the electrical supply
connections to the controller board. Be sure to follow all of the installation procedures for the
thermocouple, sensor probes and solenoid

valve before you reattach the cabinet top. Reattach the cabinet top with the (4) four screws that were
removed (See Item 2 of Figure 16.0) out to remove the cabinet top. Carefully lower the display into the
cabinet. Attach the display to the cabinet top with the (2) two supplied screws. Be sure that all of the
necessary installation procedures have been completed before you start to fill the refrigerator. To start
filling, refer to Filling the Refrigerator (Initial Fill) section of this manual.

Gently pull the thermocouple from the sensor tube.
To install a thermocouple, feed the thermocouple lead into the sensor tube to the elevation in the
storage chamber you want to monitor. Connect the thermocouple to the controller board. At the
completion of maintenance or repairs, install the display using the procedure outlined for your
refrigerator model in the Removing/Installing the Controller section.

Removing/Installing the Sensor Probes


Remove the controller using the procedures outlined for your particular refrigerator model in
Removing/ Installing the Controller section. Disconnect the sensor probe lead connection from the
controller board. Carefully remove the sensor tube plug from the sensor tube and remove the
sensor leads from the plug.

Making Adjustments to the Level Settings


The factory settings for the CS200 control system are as follows:
• Low Level Alarm = 2 (Always 1” below the start fill)
• Start Fill Sensor = 3
• Stop Fill Sensor = 6
• High Level Alarm = 7 (Always 1” above the stop fill)
The sensor assembly is pushed to the bottom of the refrigerator as delivered from the factory. If
adjustments need to be made, the following procedure will simplify the process.
• Determine the range of LN2 level in the refrigerator (i.e. Start Fill = 9; Stop Fill = 12) Offset will be 2.
• Determine the appropriate offset by subtracting 2 from the Start Fill. (i.e. Offset =9 –2 = 7)
• Set the sensor assembly so that the very bottom of the assembly matches the desired offset.
This can be done as follows:
• Push the sensor down the sensor tube until it touches the bottom of the refrigerator.
• Mark the sensor wire where it emerges from the top of the sensor tube.
• Using the marked wire as a reference, pull the sensor up the same distance as the offset
setting. The sensor assembly is now in the correct location.

41
Controller Operation

To make adjustments to a sensor assembly in a refrigerator filled with LN2, the following procedure
can be used:
• Measure the LN2 liquid level in the refrigerator.
• Take this measured level and subtract the offset to determine how many sensors should be in liquid.
• Select MENU, Change Settings, Level, Thermistor Status. “L” means a sensor is in liquid while
“G” means a sensor is in gas.
• Move the sensor up or down so that the appropriate numbers of sensors are in liquid “L”.
• Get back to the Thermistor status screen and the level indicated should match the physically
measured reading. The Sensor Offset, the Start Fill and the Stop Fill can all be set through the
MENU, Change Settings, Level, Sensor Position.

Troubleshooting

Symptoms
The key to troubleshooting your CS200 SERIES Control System and your cryostorage system is to
determine which component in the system is the source of the problem. Determine if the problem is
occurring in any of the following subsystems: Supply Vessel, Transfer Line, Power Source,
Temperature, Level Sensing, Security, Lid Switch, Solenoid Valve, Control Display, Alarm System,
Communications. After determining which subsystem is having the problem, isolate the problem
further by performing subsystem tests. Once the problem is isolated and defined, it will be easier to
solve.

Controller Will Not Turn ON


Press POWER button. If display is blank and dark go to next step.
Check all connections. Power cord must be plugged into an outlet providing100/240 VAC (50/60 Hz).

High Liquid Level


1. Determine physical liquid level using a dipstick, then select MENU, VIEW ONLY, LEVEL,
THERMISTOR STATUS through the controller display. An “L” or “G” will indicate individual
thermistor status. “L” indicates the thermistor is submerged in liquid and “G” indicates that the
thermistor is in gas (vapor). A solenoid valve that fails to close will typically empty the supply
cylinder and may cause a high level alarm. Replace the solenoid valve if it has failed even once.
2. Liquid level is determined by thermistors located in the sensor tube. If the sensor tube is blocked or
iced at the top, the liquid level in the sensor tube may not rise and fall at the same rate as the
liquid level in the freezing chamber. Make sure the sensor tube is not obstructed.
3. The pool of LN2 can become turbulent during a fill. Bubbling and splashing can be amplified by
the rack arrangement. The deeper the pool, the less turbulent the surface of the pool will be during
a fill. The turbulence can cause liquid to splash on a thermistor and cause a false alarm or
premature fill termination.
4. Confirm that sensor assembly is responding to changing liquid level with a dip-test.
• Close liquid supply valve at source.
• Mark the sensor assembly with reference to the top of tube to assure the sensor
assembly is reinstalled to the original position.
• Remove sensor assembly from sensor tube. DO NOT FORCE. Solenoid valve
should open and LOW LEVEL alarm should be activated.
• Select MENU, VIEW ONLY, LEVEL, THERMISTOR STATUS. An “L” or “G”
will indicate individual thermistor status (L = Liquid, Gas = Gas, O = Open).
• Dip each thermistor in succession into LN2 Observe the controller display noting
that each thermistor changes from “G” to “L” as each is submerged. Response time
may vary.
• Return to the main menu and submerge the START FILL THERMISTOR IN LIQUID.
Note that the low level alarm ceases, fill solenoid valve is still open. Control is
flashing FILLING.
• Manually press STOP button and note that the fill solenoid valve closes.

CS200 Control Systems


45
Troubleshooting

• Press FILL button to re-open fill solenoid valve.


• Continue to lower the sensor until the STOP FILL thermistor is immersed in the LN2. The
fill should stop after a slight delay.
• Simulate an over fill by lowering the HIGH LEVEL Alarm thermistor into the LN2.
HIGH LEVEL alarm should sound within 10 seconds.
• Re-install sensor assembly and thermocouple into sensor tube as before. Open supply
valve on LN2 supply.

Indicates Low LN2 Supply


When the START FILL thermistor is uncovered, the controller opens the Fill solenoid valve. If the
STOP FILL thermistor is not covered with LN2 in the pre-determined amount of time, the controller is
programmed to interpret this as a LN2 supply shortage.
1. Check contents gauge and pressure gauge of supply cylinder. Both liquid contents and
pressure (15 to 22 psi - 0.7 bar/69 kPa to 1.4 bar/138 kPa) are required to
complete a fill.
2. Confirm that no other transfer hose or apparatus is attached to the supply cylinder.
Either could compromise adequate tank pressure required to complete a standard fill in
30 minutes.
• Check the distance that the LN2 must travel to reach the freezer. Observe the time it
takes for Liquid LN2 to reach the Freezer through the usual piping conditions (Pipe-
Temperature at start fill). Liquid should be entering the chamber within 4 minutes
under normal (usual) line temperature conditions.
3. Confirm that the solenoid valve is open when a fill is called for.
• If no flow is detected, the solenoid valve is not getting the signal to open, or it is
opening and there is a blockage in the line. Check the connections on the leads near
the solenoid itself, as well as the connection at the controller.
• Confirm that the wires have not been pinched, creating a short circuit.
4. If a longer fill time is desired, change the setting by selecting: MENU, CHANGE
SETTINGS, SYSTEM, SYSTEM ALARMS, LN2 SUPPLY ALARM DELAYS.

Indicates Open Sensor


1. Normally, this message is associated with a loose plug or connector. Check all connections.
2. To determine this select: MENU, LEVEL SENSING, TEST LEVEL SENSORS. An “L”, “G”, or
“O” (open) will indicate individual thermistor status.
3. Thermistor assembly is not repairable. Replacement assembly is required.

Temperature Reading 10° to 20° Warm


• Prepare an ice water slurry with crushed ice and tap water. Dip or pour LN2 into a styrofoam cup
to prepare an LN2 bath. Calibrate the controller. Select MENU, TEMPERATURE, CALIBRATE
TEMPERATURE. Follow the on-screen instructions. Hold the thermocouple in each bath until the
control completes its self- calibration.

CS200 Control Systems


46
Troubleshooting

• Make sure the thermocouple is clean and dry before and after each bath.
• Reposition the thermocouple at the desired location to monitor or control temperature.

Fill Solenoid Cycles On and Off


CS200 SERIES Control System features a timer function whereby the valve open duration is limited,
allowed to shut for a short warm-up and then opened again. To confirm or change the valve open
duration:
• Select MENU, USER OPTIONS, CONTROL OPTIONS, FREEZE-GUARD
OPTIONS, VALVE OPEN DURATION.
If the controller Freeze-Guard function detects that the valve is stuck in the open position (i.e.,
continues to fill after the valve is de-energized), it will attempt to De-Ice the valve by causing a rapid
cycling of the valve in an attempt to dislodge the blockage.
• To activate or de-activate this feature: Select MENU, USER OPTIONS, CONTROL
OPTIONS, FREEZE- GUARD OPTIONS, VALVE DE-ICING.
Repeated cycling of the Solenoid Valve, caused by excessive turbulence, power/low battery, bad
connection, or circuit board corrosion, could be attributable to moisture invasion on the controller
circuit board.
To troubleshoot proper operation of the fill valve:
1. Confirm the pressure of the supply vessel is less than 22 psi (1.4 bar/138 kPa).
2. Watch the interface panel on the controller to verify if the Start and Stop Fill cycles are
repeating. You should see and hear each cycle.

Solenoid Makes Excessive Humming Noise


During normal operation, the solenoid valve will make a soft humming noise. If the noise is
excessively loud, turn the valve on and off using the control panel. If a soft humming noise is heard,
the valve should continue to operate reliably. If the humming noise is excessive, replace solenoid
valve. It is recommended the solenoid valve be replaced every two (2) years.

Lid Open Alarm


A lid switch is located near the hinge. The proximity switch should actuate when the lid is opened and
again when it is closed.
Confirm that there is a ½ in. (12 mm) gap between the sensors.

Moisture may have migrated into the sealed faceplate. Call your distributor for a Material Return
Authorization. Refer to the Service and Maintenance section of this manual to obtain information
regarding equipment returns.

Liquid Level Readout is Incorrect


Liquid level is determined by a 8-thermistor assembly inside the protective sensor tube. The user
may adjust the desired START FILL elevation and STOP FILL elevation for the pool of liquid
nitrogen within the confines of 5 in. (127 mm). START FILL cannot be assigned to thermistor
number 1. STOP FILL cannot be assigned to
thermistor number 8. The factory installs 8-thermistor assembly at the bottom of the sensor tube, which
positions thermistor number 1 at 1 in. (25.4 mm) above the floor (i.e.; the first thermistor is offset from
the floor zero inches).
If you would like to stop the fill at a depth greater than seven inches from the floor, the sensor
assembly must physically be raised inside the sensor tube. The distance that it has been
raised becomes the new OFFSET and the controller must be notified of this offset from the
floor. The factory settings are START FILL at 3 in. (76 mm) and STOP FILL at 5 in. (127 mm),
with an OFFSET of zero. The factory settings for the Origin 94K are START FILL at 6 in. (152
mm) and STOP FILL at 9 in. (228 mm), with an OFFSET of 3.

Power Failure Alarm


If power is interrupted, a log of the time and duration will be recorded. If the unit is not connected to a
battery back-up or an external alarm, no local alarm will sound unless a high temperature is detected
after power is restored. A Remote Alarm will be triggered anytime the power is interrupted.
