Taylor-Wharton KRYOS Controller - Manual (Page 6)

KRYOS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The KRYOS Controller can monitor and control both the liquid nitrogen level and
the vapor temperature range in the cryostorage unit you have selected. KRYOS
controllers are designed to work with Taylor-Wharton LABS and K-Series Cryostorage
Systems. 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.
Taylor-Wharton LABS and K-Series Cryostorage Systems 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.
Text Format Notation
In this owner’s manual, we use some special text formats to denote certain portions
of the system. These are listed below:
t Menu is indicated in ALL CAPS BOLD.
t Actual Menu Choices are indicated in ALL CAPS.
t Start Fill and Stop Fill sensors are indicated in ALL CAPS ITALICS.
t Specific Menu Descriptions under a main category are listed in Italics.
Before beginning installation or operation of this KRYOS Controller, 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.
