Vintage Cellars SENTRY III Plus - Manual (Page 2)

The above numbered features are described below:
1. The storage temperature factory setting is 55
°
F (13°C). To change the
desired wine storage temperature (set-point), press and hold the SET button.
Within five seconds, press either the WARMER or COOLER button to raise or
lower the set-point, within the range of 45
°
-65
°
F (7-18°C), then release the SET
button to return to normal storage temperature display.
2. When the unit shuts off, or if there is a momentary power outage, there is an
automatic delay of 5 minutes before it will be enabled to re-start. This is to
protect your compressor from possible damage due to “short-cycling”.
3. As an alert to you, the display will alternately flash “AL” and the temperature
if the storage temperature rises above a preset alarm temperature. The alarm
factory setting is 62
°
F (17
o
C). You may adjust this alarm setting (see 7, below).
The unit will continue to operate while in the alarm mode, unless the temperature
rises to 75°F (24°C), as described in 6, below.
4. The computer memory will retain all settings currently in use (see 7, below) if
there is a power interruption for any period of time, or if the unit is unplugged.
There is no need to “re-program” the controller in such an event.
5. When the compressor shuts off, the evaporator fan will continue to run for 45
seconds in order to “harvest” all possible cooling, as an energy-saving feature.
For maximum cooling distribution in your wine cellar, you may set the evaporator
fan to run continuously (see 7, below).
6. In the unlikely event that the storage temperature rises above 75°F (24°C),
the unit will automatically shut off, and the display will alternately flash “OH” and
the temperature. The unit will remain shut off for a minimum of 30 minutes, after
which you may attempt to re-start the unit with a manual RESET (see below).
Or, during the 30 minute delay, a re-start of the unit may be attempted by
unplugging and re-plugging the power to the unit for any amount of time. If the
same shut-off occurs, contact your Breezaire dealer.
7. You may adjust several operating parameters of the controller; namely, (a) the
desired storage temperature (set-point), (b) the units of temperature display, (c)
the degrees above and below the set-point for the unit to turn on and off
(bandwidth), (d) the alarm temperature desired, and (e) the desired operating
mode of the evaporator fan. Proceed as follows:
(a) Press and hold the SET button to adjust the set-point, as described in
(1) above. (Factory setting is 55
°
F).
Caution: If the SET button is held more than 5 seconds while adjusting
set-point, the display will enter the control parameter-setting mode, as
described next.
For other parameters:
Hold the SET button for more than 5 seconds, until it changes to:
