1 – Description of Cabinet
The refrigerated cabinets in the ARGUS line are multiplexable units with a usable internal length of 937 mm (MODEL
100), 1250 mm (MODEL 133), 1875 mm (MODEL 200), 2500 mm (MODEL 250) and 3750 mm (MODEL 375). The
working temperature (for the version with incorporated unit), varies depending on the length of the cabinet. All models
use a system of forced air ventilated refrigeration, and can have either an incorporated compressor unit or an external
one. The general esthetic characteristics and overall dimensions are clearly illustrated in FIG. 1 on page 1 and TAB. 2
on page 2.
2 - Handling the unit
The unit comes on wooden runners (wooden crating available on request) to facilitate handling by forklift. Only
authorised expert personnel should handle the unit. FIG. 2 on page 1 shows the weight of the units and fork lengths of
the relative lifting points.
3 - Receipt and storage
On delivery, make sure the unit has not been damaged during transport. Check the condition of the packaging: if the
packaging is damaged, check the contents in the presence of the carrier. For storage, make sure that the unit is
protected against the weather and stored at a temperature between -25°C and +55°C; 30-95% relative humidity. Take
special care when unpacking the unit, as the packaging contains various parts and/or accessories needed to complete
the display unit (spacers, raised edges, etc). Remove the brackets and pallet (see FIG. 4 on page 2), then remove the
transparent protection around the unit. Place the display unit exactly where you plan to install it. Move the unit
properly: never drag by its sides!
Warning: Inform the Manufacturer immediately if the unit arrives damaged. Any delay in doing so relieves the
Manufacturer of all liability. The Manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the unit during handling and storage.
4 - Installation and environmental conditions
The unit should be placed on a perfectly flat floor. When fully loaded, the display cabinet should not vibrate (see FIG. 5
on page 2). The efficiency of the unit may be endangered if it is not perfectly level! The display cabinet should never
be placed in areas where explosive gas substances are used. The unit should not be left outdoors or exposed to the
rain (see FIG. 3 on page 2). The stated performance of the unit refers to its climatic class (according to international
standards ISO 23953-1/2) which foresees a room temperature of 25°C with 60% relative humidity in standard climates
(3 ISO 23953-1/2) and 30°C with 55% relative humidity in tropical zones (4 ISO 23953-1/2). Sufficient space must be
provided to guarantee good air circulation for the condenser (see FIG. 11 on page 3). Do not place objects in front of
the condenser protection grid, as this could interfere with the efficiency of the refrigerated cabinet (see FIG. 6 on page
2). Performance may suffer if the environmental conditions differ from those foreseen, or the cabinets are exposed to
air flows of more than 0.2m/sec or sources of heat. To avoid this problem, the User should send the Manufacturer
details of the environmental conditions before finalising the design of the units, so that the technical parameters and
material options can be modified and the installer informed of the refrigerating power actually required.
5 - Electrical connections
Important: installation should be made following the manufacturer's instructions, by qualified personnel only, in
conformity with the electric safety regulations in force. Please refer to the electrical diagram at page 7-9.
At the input of the supply it is necessary to install an omni-polar magnetothermic/differential device with contact
opening equal to 3 mm and adequate cutoff power.
Warning: Before connecting the unit to the mains, make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on
the serial plate (bearing in mind that the max acceptable variations in voltage are +/- 10%). Check that the cable used
has the proper cross-section and length to withstand the current and the power absorbed by the combination, as
indicated in TAB. 1 on page 3 (climatic class 3 = 25°C RH 60%; climatic class 4 = 30°C, RH 55%). The plug-in units
are supplied already fitted with a 2,5 m cable and plug (see FIG. 7 on page 2), so the unit must not be installed more
than 2,5 m from the nearest wall socket. The cabinet should be connected to its own fixed current socket (i.e. without
extension leads or multiple plugs). The cable should be fully extended and located where it is unlikely to be struck,
caught or stepped on, away from water and other liquids and heat sources and must not be damaged (if damaged,
have it replaced by an expert electrician, in compliance with local regulations). The plug must still be accessible even
after installing the unit.
Warning: Follow the Manufacturer's instructions to install the unit, using qualified personnel and complying with the
electrical regulations for the specific country (electrical safety standards and laws, accident and fire prevention laws,
EC directives). Incorrect installation may cause injury and damage; the Manufacturer is not liable for this.
The unit must be earthed. The Manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury should this safety regulation be
ignored. If the unit is to be installed far from the electrical sockets, suitable electrical connections are needed and
these must comply with the prevailing standards. The use of adapter plugs is strictly prohibited. The Manufacturer is
not liable for any damage or injury arising from incorrect installation.
