Follett FZR Series - Manual (Page 14)

Setting alarm temperatures
1. After the installation is complete, allow 30 minutes for the system to
stabilize to ambient temperature.
2. Calibrate temperature alarm to refrigerator display
a. Calibration is best done with the alarm probe removed from the
probe bottle and placed in the vicinity of the temperature controller
probe. Allow at least 15 minutes for the probe temperature to stabilize.
b. Note the temperature value displayed on the refrigerator controller
and subtract the temperature value displayed on the alarm. This value
is the differential.
Example: Temperature controller: 36 F Alarm: 38 F
Controller – Alarm = Differential 36 – 38 = -2
c. Press SET until “CAL” is displayed (Fig. 15.1).
d. Press SET again to display “CAL” value (Fig. 15.1).
e. Press top or bottom of ADJUST arrow to display the calculated
differential (-2°F in example above).
3. Set high alarm limit
a. Press SET until “HSP” is displayed (Fig. 15.1).
b. Press SET again to display HSP value (Fig. 15.1).
c. Press top or bottom of ADJUST arrow until desired HSP value is
displayed (Fig. 17.2).
4. Set low alarm limit
a. Press SET until “LSP” is displayed (Fig. 15.1).
b. Press SET again to display LSP value (Fig. 15.1).
c. Press top or bottom of ADJUST arrow until desired LSP value is displayed (Fig. 15.2).
5. Display will return to temperature display in approximately 15 seconds.
6. Place alarm probe back in probe bottle.

Alarm operation facts
The back-up battery will continue to provide alarm protection during power failure but will alarm ONLY if
temperatures go out of the selected range. During power failure the alarm face will be dark but temperatures can
be read by pressing the RESET button.
Because the temperature alarm display simulates the true temperature of stored medications rather than the air
temperature inside the freezer, we suggest that staff refer to the alarm display to log temperatures for JCAHO
compliance.
