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.

Operational Theory #7
The CS200 SERIES Control System automatically maintains the Liquid Nitrogen (LN2)
level and monitors temperature in the cryostorage freezer. Operational conditions are
monitored, and any alarm is triggered if necessary. Operations data is stored in High Level

memory on the control board.
The CS200 CONTROL SYSTEM uses thermistors to measure the LN2 level within Stop Fill #5
the vessel. A thermistor is a thermal resistor and its resistance changes as the
temperature changes.

When a thermistor is submerged in LN2, its resistance will be significantly greater than
its resistance at room temperature. The control can detect this resistance change and

determine the level of the LN2 within the freezer. The CS CONTROL SYSTEM is
designed to work with an 8-thermistor assembly. There are four thermistors that can
be selected to maintain the LN2 level. These selected thermistors correspond to Low Low Level
#
Alarm
Alarm, Start Fill, Stop Fill and High Alarm. When the LN2 level drops below the Start Fill
thermistor, the control opens the solenoid valve allowing LN2 to enter the vessel. This
continues until the Stop Fill thermistor is submerged in #1
LN2 at which point the solenoid valve is closed, preventing the flow of additional LN2 into the
vessel. The Low Alarm, Start Fill, Stop Fill and High Alarm settings can all be changed by the
user through the menu system.

Operation
The LN2 level is indicated on the display and is determined by the number of thermistors submerged
in LN2 according to the table below:
NOTE - Offset value for Origin 94K only = 3.0 in (126 mm).
Lid Switch
The Lid Switch (Figure 4.0 and 4.1) is attached to the hinge and determines whether or not the lid is open on the
freezer. This also allows the control to determine whether to activate the Auto Defog, Quick Chill or Lid Alarm
features.
Lid Switch
Figure 4.0 Origin Lid Switch Figure 4.1 Voyager Lid Switch
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.
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:
CS200 SERIES Control Examine for exposure to moisture, wear and tear, connector problems,
and damage to the faceplate or buttons. In addition, periodic firmware
updates may be important
Harness Assembly Examine for damage to the cable and damage to connectors,
Battery Examine connection cable and connector for damage. Examine
vinyl cover for damage. Replace every 3 years
Solenoid Valve Examine wires and connector for damage. Replace every 2 years.
Lid Switch Examine lid switch pickup and wires for damage. Replace if necessary
Level Sensor Assembly Examine for damage to wires and connector. Replace every 3 years
Thermocouple Assembly Examine for damage to wires and connector.
In addition, inspection and preventive maintenance should also be performed on the freezer and its
mechanical parts. Refer to owner’s manual for details.
If any intermittent alarm or defect with the cryostorage system is observed or suspected, it should be
investigated and remedied immediately even if this falls outside of the normal maintenance schedule.
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.
The menu system incorporates icons to show the user settings which can be changed and which are
locked.
Also, the menu system includes a
scroll bar on the right side of the
Locked menu choice display. The scroll bar will indicate
the current location in
the menu system and will indicate
Accessible menu choice if additional menu choices are
available with the display of up
and down arrows on the scroll
bar.
The control will continue to monitor all sensors and conditions while the user accesses the menu system.
If no activity is detected for 30 seconds, the control will automatically return to the main operational
screen.

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.
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.
The display will read Dip the thermocouple into ice water.
Submerge the thermocouple into an ice water bath. The bar graph will fluctuate. When a good
stable reading in obtained, the bar graph will decrease to 1 or 2 bars. At this point, press to
lock in the value. Dry the thermocouple.
Submerge the thermocouple into LN2. The bar graph will fluctuate. When a good stable read-
ing in obtained, the bar graph will decrease to 1 or 2 bars. At this point, press to lock in the
value
If the calibration values fall within the expected range, “DONE!” Will be displayed on the
screen.
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).
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.

Controller Operation
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.
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.

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.
• 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.
