Intended Use

The Thermoline Laboratory Refrigerators—145, 200, 520, 750, 950, and 1500 models—are designed and manufactured to provide safe and precise temperature control for stored items. Operating between +4°C and +10°C, with alarms set 3°C above and below the setpoint, these refrigerators feature industry-standard forced draught refrigeration for reliable performance.

  • Control Stability: +/- 0.5°C
  • Operating Temperature: +4°C to +10°C

Uncrating/Unpacking

Unpacking process for foam wrapped or boxed

Unpacking Process
    • In most cases, the refrigerator will be delivered foam-wrapped and on its castors via sensitive freight (Fig 1). The 145 and 200 models will be delivered in a box on a skid (Fig 2). 
    • The refrigerator may be delivered to remote areas in a crate. To remove the crate packaging, unscrew both the left and right sides. A forklift is required to remove the refrigerator from the crate.
    • Please only dispose of the packaging once the the refrigerator is inspected. If any damage is found, contact your supplier or Thermoline immediately at:

Moving

Moving the refrigerator on castors:

  • Ensure that the refrigerator is rolled on an even and flat surface. Uneven surfaces can cause the refrigerator to fall over. 

IMPORTANT

Refrigerators are 'Top Heavy'. Do not move the cabinet too quickly. (Fig 3 & 4)

Operating Environment

Refrigerator Location

  • Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., heaters).
  • Ensure the room's ambient temperature does not exceed the refrigerator's operational limits.
  • Refrigerators should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.

Environmental Conditions

Condition Temperature Humidity
Extreme Operating Environment 10°C to 32°C Up to 85% RH
Optimal Environment 23°C (±2.0°C) 50% RH (±5% RH)

Bench Top LocationStacked Bench Top

  • Only the TPR-145-GD/SD model can be placed on a bench or plinth, as the other models are too large.
  • Under no circumstances should any refrigerators be stacked on top of each other.
  • Thermoline 145 refrigerators are equipped with adjustable feet in case of uneven surfaces. 

 

Electrical Connections


All refrigerators require a 10amp, 230V, 50Hz power supplyLaboratory Refrigerator Mains Power Lead

Important Notes

  • Always use a dedicated outlet for the refrigerator.
  • Do not use power boards or extension cords to connect the refrigerator.

Electrical Conditions

  • All refrigerators include a 2.5m removable mains power lead with a three-pin plug. 
  • Ensure the product is reasonably distanced from the power supply to prevent strain on the lead.

Warning Operating Environment Warnings

  • Refrigerators should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.  
  • Refrigerators are not suitable for use with flammable solvents! They are fitted with components that may be the source of ignition.
