WARNING: A clear sight glass can also indicate a completely EMPTY system. Anytime the compressor is started, white foam should appear in the sight glass indicating that the refrigerant is present. This foam may disappear quite quickly but, IF NO FOAM IS EVIDENT and the system is not cooling, the system is empty. DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM in this empty condition. Operation in this mode will ruin the compressor. Turn off the main breaker to the control panel to prevent operation until the system can be properly leak tested and recharged.

Fast moving white foam with the compressor operating indicates an insufficient charge level. Watch closely for a transition from foam to total liquid, (indicated by a clear sight glass). This transition point can be missed if proper attention is not given. Also, IT IS POSSIBLE for the sight glass to show large bubbles even when the charge is sufficient, so it is important to differentiate between "foam" and "bubbles". The foam condition has velocity and direction; the bubbles are large, temporary, and nearly stationary. Do not try to chase away these larger bubbles with more refrigerant: overcharging will then occur. Air in the system may give a false sight glass reading, which could lead to overcharging. If in doubt, discharge a suspected overcharged system to continuous foam and slowly add refrigerant to clear the glass. MONITOR THE SIGHT GLASS CONTINUALLY since the glass will not indicate when the system is overcharged.

In a warm system, when the cabinet is above freezing (32.F) upon start-up, the sight glass may take several minutes to clear. A cold cabinet may show a clear glass within seconds of start-up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The low side operating pressure of the system will not indicate the amount of refrigerant in the system. The valve will not give proper operation or pressure if it is undercharged. Check the valve scribe line. It should correlate to gauge pressure.

The system requires enough refrigerant to supply liquid to the valve. If the valve has a steady hissing sound then the charge is ok. If the valve is sputtering then it is low. If the valve is making a noticeable roar it is empty. If the low side pressure is properly set the high side pressure will be 80 to 135 psi depending on the air temperature (50 to 95 degrees F.) at the unit. Almost immediately upon start up the valve body will begin to frost.

Do not add refrigerant charge to a pre-charged system.

Maximum charge 12 oz. R-134a

Bait Freezer specifications

The Sea Frost Bait Freezer is a game changer for anglers looking to preserve bait with optimal efficiency and performance. Engineered specifically for marine environments, this bait freezer offers innovative technology and superior features that ensure your bait remains fresh and effective for extended periods.

One of the standout features of the Sea Frost Bait Freezer is its robust refrigeration system, designed to quickly lower temperatures to the required levels, ensuring that bait is frozen swiftly to lock in freshness. This rapid freezing process helps to maintain the integrity of the bait, preventing cell damage that can occur in conventional freezers.

The freezer is equipped with advanced insulation technology, which minimizes heat transfer and significantly enhances energy efficiency. This means anglers can depend on a consistent, reliable temperature for their bait, even in warmer climates or during extended boating trips. The high-density foam insulation used in the construction helps retain cold air, allowing the Sea Frost Bait Freezer to operate efficiently without excessive energy consumption.

For convenience, the Sea Frost Bait Freezer features easy-to-use digital controls, which allow users to monitor and adjust temperatures with precision. The digital display offers real-time temperature readings, crucial for ensuring bait is stored under optimal conditions. Additionally, a built-in alarm system notifies users of any temperature fluctuations, safeguarding the quality of the bait at all times.

The design of the Sea Frost Bait Freezer emphasizes portability and ease of use. With durable handles and a lightweight structure, it can be easily transported on boats or to fishing spots. Its waterproof exterior is resistant to harsh marine conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Moreover, the freezer comes with various storage options, including removable bins and compartments, allowing for customizable organization of different types of bait. This versatility enables anglers to maximize their storage capacity while keeping their bait easily accessible.

In conclusion, the Sea Frost Bait Freezer is the ideal solution for serious anglers who prioritize the quality and preservation of their bait. With its advanced freezing technology, energy-efficient design, user-friendly controls, and sturdy construction, this bait freezer stands out as an essential piece of equipment for successful fishing trips.
