Sea Frost Bait Freezer manual Installing a Jumper, Installing the Return Line, Thermostat Wiring

Installing a Jumper

If installing a multi plate system, use the jumper to connect the remaining tube on the first plate to either tube on the second plate.

Installing the Return Line

Connect a return line to the remaining tube. This return line connects to the compressor.

Support the tubing every 18 inches as necessary with mountable tie wraps and self taping screws.

THERMOSTAT

Thermostat Location

The thermostat is low voltage and is connected and powered by the transformer in the compressor cabinet. Mount the thermostat in a convenient location where the sensing bulb will reach a mounting screw on a plate. It is necessary that the bulb of the sensor have good thermal contact with the plate. Attach the bulb to the plate using the stainless clip. Use one of the existing plate mounting screws as an attachment point.

On multiple plate installations, the thermostat must sense the last plate in the series after the valve. The probe temperature is displayed when 220-volt power is available. The probe temperature is not the cabinet temperature. The probe temperature is always colder than the cabinet.

Thermostat Wiring

The Ranco Electronic Temperature Control operates on low voltage (24VAC) supplied by the transformer in the compressor cabinet.

A 15’ wiring harness is fitted to the thermostat. Use red, blue, and white 16-gauge wire to extend this harness if a longer length is needed. Attach the wires to the terminal strip using #8 ring terminals, matching corresponding wire color.
