LOCATION, INSTALLATION& SERVICES REQUIRED: This section deals with the provision and connection of services that will be required for your cabinet to function correctly and advice on where to locate the cabinet. General: The equipment is designed to operate under the following ambient conditions: Suitable for indoor use only. Ambient temperature range: 10ºC to 32ºC. Ambient humidity range: Maximum relative humidity of 85% for ambient temperatures up to 25ºC. Note: Optimum performance of the cabinet is achieved when the ambient temperature is within a 20 to 25ºC range. Location: All refrigerated equipment generates heat as part of the normal operation. It is vital for correct performance and reliability that adequate ventilation is provided to allow this heat to dissipate. Any refrigerated equipment that is operated in a small unventilated area, especially in warm weather, can cause the compressor to overheat and may result in premature failure. NOTE: Failure to observe ventilation guidelines will void the manufacturer s warranty! A minimum of 300mm above the cabinet and 300mm at the back and sides must be maintained at all times to ensure adequate air flow to dissipate heat generated by the refrigeration unit. Do not store items on top of the cabinet as this will also affect ventilation! Note: On cabinets with the humidity option the water supply bottle is mounted on the top right side. CAUTION: When installing more than one cabinet in the same location ensure that they are positioned in such a way that warm air exhausted from one cabinet, is not drawn directly into the other cabinet. 26-1-16 4
Level: The cabinet should be standing on level ground to ensure correct operation of the self-closing door, and proper draining of condensate from the evaporator. Castors: The cabinet is fitted with castors for ease of movement to allow for cleaning under the cabinet. Where lockable castors are fitted they must be locked to prevent accidental cabinet movement. This can be achieved by pressing the lock-down tab with your foot. These castors are usually at the front of the cabinet; ensure that both castors are locked. Mains Power: This cabinet is suitable for connection to a standard 240 volt, 50Hz, supply. A dedicated outlet should be used for the supply, do not use power boards or the like. Confirm that the power supply is suitable for this equipment; refer to the equipment rating plate for details. Water: A water supply is required if the cabinet is fitted with optional Humidity control. The water supply can come from either town water or from gravity fed water reservoir placed on top of the cabinet. If using a mains water connection, a pressure regulator must be fitted to reduce water pressure below 100kpa. If the pressure regulator is not fitted the fittings and hoses to the ultrasonic humidifier filters will be damaged! Thermoline supply a 30litre water tank complete with hose, drain tap, and connection fittings. This tank should be elevated above the ultrasonic humidifier by at least 200mm and filled with water; the tank would normally sit on the top right side of the cabinet. The gravity fed water supply has a number of advantages over a town water supply: Firstly, the water in the tank can be treated water : such as distilled water. This will increase the maintenance period of the water filters as the water will already be quite clean. Secondly, if the automatic water level controls were to fail or if there was a water leak, the worst spillage would be 30litres instead of a potential flood. 26-1-16 5
Co2 Supply (Optional). At the rear of the chamber is a ¼ barbed fitting labeled Co2 inlet. This is the inlet for the Co2. Connect a regulated Co2 supply to this point with set to a maximum pressure of 125kpa. (+/-25kpa). Make sure that when connecting the Co2 supply that is connected in a manner that will not leak. Use a hose clamp if necessary. See STAR-700 operating Guidelines on how to control the Co2. Drain: Because we are controlling humidity levels inside the cabinet, there will be water coming out of the drain located on the side of the cabinet. There is also a drain valve and an overflow pipe in case of a malfunction. Therefore it is essential that the location for the cabinet has a floor drain for the water to flow into. Water from the cabinet will exit through a drain pipe on the right hand side of the cabinet, you will need to connect this drain pipe to the floor drain (see note below). It is important that the cabinet drain pipe is connected to a suitable waste outlet (drain) at all times. Make sure that there are no restrictions in the drain pipe; it will need to cope with an overflow of 3litres per minute in the case of a fault. Assembly: Shelves: 4 stainless steel clips are supplied per shelf. Determine the space required between each shelf level, and simply hook the clips into the slotted strip attached to the walls. Place the shelves on top of the clips. Door lighting: For cabinets with door lighting the lights are permanently mounted in the door enclosure. Shelf lighting: For cabinets with shelf lighting there are 4 x shelf clips to support each shelf. As with the wire shelves, simply hook the clips into the slotted strip attached to the walls. Place the shelves on top of the clips. Feed the cables for the light trays through the cable ports in the side of the cabinet. The cables for the light trays plug into sockets on the bracket at the rear of the cabinet. The plugs push into the sockets and you turn the outer ring clockwise to lock them in place. If the dimming option is fitted a White knob is located above the connectors. Simply turn this to dim the lights. 26-1-16 6
Cabinet with door open showing 3 x shelves and lighting trays. Ultrasonic Humidifier: Humidity Model (H) Cabinets may be supplied with the ultrasonic humidifier separately, and may require assembly. Mount the humidifier onto the side of the cabinet by sliding it into the bracket. Connect the 2 x vapor hoses between the fittings on top of the humidifier and those on the side of the cabinet. Make sure to use the hose clamps to hold the hoses securely in place. Connect the overflow and drain pipes on the humidifier to the black drain hose on the side of the cabinet. Connect the wiring plugs from the humidifier to the sockets at the rear of the cabinet. Note the humidifier control plug is female and the humidifier power supply plug is male so they cannot be mixed up. As with the plugs for the light trays turn the outer ring clockwise to lock them in place. If using the gravity feed water supply mount the tank on top of the cabinet and connect the 6mm tube to the water inlet on the filters. If mains water supply is used a pressure regulator should be used to keep the pressure below 100kpa! Make sure the drain valve on the black drain pipe is closed. 26-1-16 7
Installation: Locate the cabinet in a well-ventilated area on a firm level surface as described earlier. The cabinet is fitted with castor wheels so that it can easily be moved during installation. Leave sufficient room at the rear and sides for air flow around the cabinet as previously described (30cm each side 30cm at the rear). Leave enough room in front of the door/s to allow them to open fully when loading the cabinet. Connect the drain pipe at the right side of the cabinet; to a suitable floor drain with flexible hose (drain pipe is 19mm diameter). 26-1-16 8
If you are using the gravity feed water bottle the top of the cabinet is strong enough to take the weight of a 30litre water bottle. Place the empty container onto the top of the cabinet prior to filling with water. Then carefully fill the water container with water. Do not attempt to fill the container then lift it on to the top of the cabinet. This could cause serious damage or injury to persons. Extreme caution should be taken as not to spill or splash water onto the cabinet surface when filling the Water Container. Spillage of water onto the cabinet may result in equipment damage, personal injury or death. Note: When filling the bottle make sure that the small valve is closed until you connect the water supply to the filters. After filling the bottle the valve can then be opened. Valve closed Valve open Loading Of Product into Cabinet: All forced draught enclosures such as this one require constant air flow throughout the cabinet to maintain the desired temperature. Correct loading of the shelves must be considered for efficient refrigeration performance. Never block off air vents. Allow sufficient space around the product on each shelf for air flow. Distribute the load evenly over all of the shelves rather than stacking everything on one shelf. 26-1-16 9
General cleaning: CLEANING & MAINTENANCE: The interior, exterior, and door gasket can be cleaned as often as required using a soft cloth and soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as these will scratch the surface and may result in corrosion. Never use caustic type cleaning agents. All cabinets have electrical components such as the temperature control, internal light, refrigeration condensing unit. These items should not be subjected to any levels of moisture. For example do not use a hose to wash down the incubator. Evidence of moisture entry into any electrical device will void the manufacturer s warranty! Maintenance: Apart from normal levels of cleanliness, it is important that the refrigeration condenser is kept clean, the Ultrasonic Humidifier is maintained and the Floor Drain is checked for blockages. Failure to keep the condenser clean could lead to higher temperatures inside the cabinet, higher running costs, and often a failure of the compressor. A clean condenser is a critical factor in keeping the refrigerator operating correctly. The condenser should be cleaned at least 3 monthly, in some dusty locations this may need to be more frequent. By monitoring the amount clogging due to dust, the frequency of cleaning can be adjusted to keep it clean. Manufacturer s warranty does not cover the failure of the compressor due to a blocked condenser. Cleaning the Condenser: The condenser is located at the top of the cabinet and requires the front panel to be removed to gain access. It looks like an assembly of aluminium fins with a fan arranged to blow air through it. Turn off the power at the power point before cleaning the condenser! Using a stiff paint brush, carefully remove dust and dirt build-up from the condenser, ensuring that dust is not pushed back into the condenser fins. The use of a vacuum cleaner will help in cleaning up the dislodged material. 26-1-16 10
The condenser fins may be sharp, take care to avoid personal injury by not directly contacting them with your hands! The fin material is thin and can be easily bent, take care not to flatten the fins as this may affect the efficiency of the condenser. Ultrasonic Humidifier. The Ultrasonic Humidifier tank is constantly evaporating water. To maintain a long service life of the Ultrasonic Oscillator it is important that the tank has very clean filtered water. Failure to replace the Water filters on a regular basis will drastically reduce the life of the Oscillators. The Oscillators themselves are a consumable item with an expected life cycle of 5000hrs (Approximately 6 months). However due to the output of the controller the duty cycle of the oscillators would be approximately 50% which with regular maintenance and replacement of the filter regularly should last longer than 6 months. Thermoline recommend that the Water filters should be replaced every 3 to 6months depending on the water quality being used. Failure to replace these filters on a regular basis will void the warranty applicable to the Ultrasonic Humidifier. Contact Thermoline for replacement Water Filters. Do not rinse out the old Water Filters and re-use. Floor Drain. Due to the nature of products (Plant Material) that will be present inside the cabinet, it will be necessary to check the drains for blockages. Depending on the nature of a blockage due care will need to be taken. Do not try to force any blocked large particles through the drain. This will simply cause them to get blocked further down the drain. If necessary force water back into the outlet of the drain. Please note that the drain is manufactured from Irrigation tubing. It cannot cope with a lot of internal pressure. Be very careful when back flushing the drain. This will force any blocked particles back into the cabinet. Simply collect the debris and throw into a waste bin. If this does not clear the blockage then the services of a qualified technician maybe require. 26-1-16 11
STAR-700 TOUCHSCREEN OPERATING GUIDELINES. Safe Operating Value (SOV). On initial Power up the STAR-700 Touchscreen shows the Screen Saver page. See Below Image. On Initial power up cabinet controls the Safe Operating Value only. The Touchscreen is fitted with a Security Screensaver to stop unauthorised access to the controlling parameters. This Security Screensaver becomes active if the Touchscreen has not been touched for more than 5minutes or if power is cycled. To exit out of the Security Screensaver simply press the Press to Log In & Exit Screensaver Button. The User Access window will appear. To exit out of the Security Screensaver and enter into the Main Menu Screen use the following passcodes: User Number: 1 Passcodes: 1111 These passcode should only be given to Authorised Personnel. To enter the User Number and/or the Passcode simply press the Numeric Window and the Numeric Keyboard will be displayed. Simply enter the User Number and/or the Password and press enter. Once you have pressed enter press the screen anywhere above the Login Button and the Main Menu screen will appear. When in the Main Menu Screen you will notice that the indicator in the top right corner states that the Diurnal/Program Cycle is Off. The Values below the heading Safe Operating Value are the current set values and the controller will start to control these values. During Safe Operating Value control, the Lights can only be manually operated by using the drop down menu underneath the heading Lights (SOV). The Lights SOV is a manual operation of the Lights, in the ON mode they are continually on and in the OFF mode they are continually off. To operate the Lights on a Diurnal/Program Cycle the operator will need set up the Diurnal/Program Cycle. To change the Safe Operating Value simply touch the Operating Value box. A popup numeric keypad is displayed. Type in the new value and press enter. The cabinet will automatically control the new Safe Operating Value. The Safe Operating Value has been designed to be set by the operator to a safe condition that will not cause damage to any of the Research, Experimental and/or Plant Material within the cabinet, in the event of a power failure. If the controller is operating in Diurnal/Program Cycle mode and there is a power failure, on resumption of power the Diurnal/Program Cycle mode will stop and the cabinet will be controlled at the Safe Operating Value.

Program/Diurnal Set-Up. The STAR 700 has a 250 segment Programmer. The 250 segments are split between 25 Programs (10 Segments per program). The Program Set-Up is securely protected by means of a user name and password. By pressing the Thermoline Logo the Login Screen appears. The Username is 02 and the Password is 2222. Once the Password is entered the next touch of the screen needs to be the Program Set-Up button. If the screen is touch anywhere but the Program Set-Up button the password will be reset and will need to be re-entered. Once the Program Set-Up button has been pressed then the Program Set-Up screen is displayed. Main Screen with Login Screen showing Login Screen Diurnal/Program Set Up Screen. The above screen shows the Program set-up page. This consists of 25 programs having a total of 250segments (10segments per program). Program 1: Segments 1-10 Program 2: Segments 11-20 Program 3: Segments 21-30 Program 4: Segments 31-40 (etc) Program 25: Segments 241-250. 26-1-16 14
Each program can be set as an independent program or can be linked to create one large or multiple large programs. This is achieved by not using an End segment in a particular program. For example if your program requires the use of 15 segments we can use the 10 segments of Program 1 and the first 5 segments of Program 2 making Segment 15 (5 th Segment of Program 2) an End Segment type. We would then start program 1 and as the program runs through the first 10 segments of program 1 and because there is no end segment in Program 1 it continues to run program 2 until it find the end segment at segment 15. When linking multiple Programs, to use more than 10 segments, the programs need to be sequential. By pressing on Program 1 the following screen is displayed. The below example is a Diurnal cycle of 40degC and 40% day and 10degC and 80% Night. Assuming that 40degC is at midday this program has been written to start at 25degC and 60%RH assuming that the day condition of 40degC and 40%RH is Midday then this program would need to be started by the operator at 6am. Program 1 Segment 1-5 Program 1 Segment 6-10 26-1-16 15
The following is a description of what each of the items in the Program are and what function they perform. Segment Type: Jump To: Jump Cycle: Temperature: Humidity: Co2: Hours: Minutes: Seconds: End Action The segment type can either be a Time, Jump To, or End type. Time: This determines that the segment is a period of time. The time is set in Hours, Minutes and Seconds. Jump To: This allows the program to repeat a predetermined set of segments. By selecting the Jump To parameter in segment type and then entering a segment value at the Jump To parameter, will tell the program were to jump back to. At Jump Cycle enter how many times it jumps back to or repeats the predetermined set of segments. See Example on next page. End: This tells the program when to end. There has to be an end segment. Failure to enter an end segment will cause the controller to indefinitely dwell at the last segment. The operator would enter the segment number that the program will jump back to. This value is ignored if the segment is set to either a Time or End Segment. The operator would enter a value here as to how many times the Jump To repeats itself. A value of 0 will continually repeat the Jump To segments until the operator ends the Program Cycle manually. This value is ignored if the Segment Type is set to either a Time or End Segment. The operator would enter the Temperature they require the cabinet to achieve. This value is ignored if the segment s Step Type is Jump To. The operator would enter the Humidity they require the cabinet to achieve. This value is ignored if the segment s Step Type is Jump To. The operator would enter the Co2 they require the cabinet to achieve. This value is ignored if the segment s Step Type is Jump To. The operator would enter the required length of time for the segment in Hours. This value is ignored if the segment Step Type is set to either Jump To or End. The operator would enter the required length of time for the segment in Minutes. This value is ignored if the segment Step Type is set to either Jump To or End. The operator would enter the required length of time for the segment in Seconds. This value is ignored if the segment Step Type is set to either Jump To or End. This value determines what will happen when the program ends. It can be set to SOV, which stops the program from operating and controls the Safe Operating Values. Or it can be set to dwell, in which case it will continue to control the Temperature, Humidity and Co2 of the last Time segment. 26-1-16 16
G Soak Temp This is the Guaranteed Soak Parameter and is only visible if the Guaranteed Soak is enabled. This parameter is generally not used on the Climatron range of Plant Growth Cabinets as it can extend the time of a Diurnal Program effectively making the Diurnal Cycle longer than 24hours. The Guaranteed Soak allows the Program to maintain its Programmed Temperature Value for the duration of the Segment Time by automatically placing the Program into a holding pattern and not allowing the program to proceed if the Actual Temperature Value deviates the Programmed Temperature Value by a predetermined value. Once the Actual Temperature Value is within the predetermine range then the Program will automatically continue. G Soak Humidity This is the Guaranteed Soak Parameter and is only visible if the Guaranteed Soak is enabled. This parameter is generally not used on the Climatron range of Plant Growth Cabinets as it can extend the time of a Diurnal Program effectively making the Diurnal Cycle longer than 24hours. The Guaranteed Soak allows the Program to maintain its Programmed Humidity Value for the duration of the Segment Time by automatically placing the Program into a holding pattern and not allowing the program to proceed if the Actual Humidity Value deviates the Programmed Humidity Value by a predetermined value. Once the Actual Humidity Value is within the predetermine range then the Program will automatically continue. G Soak CO 2 This is the Guaranteed Soak Parameter and is only visible if the Guaranteed Soak is enabled. This parameter is generally not used on the Climatron range of Plant Growth Cabinets as it can extend the time of a Diurnal Program effectively making the Diurnal Cycle longer than 24hours. The Guaranteed Soak allows the Program to maintain its Programmed CO 2 Value for the duration of the Segment Time by automatically placing the Program into a holding pattern and not allowing the program to proceed if the Actual CO 2 Value deviates the Programmed CO 2 Value by a predetermined value. Once the Actual CO 2 Value is within the predetermine range then the Program will automatically continue. Lighting/Event Outputs. At each segment page there is a Lighting/Events button. By pressing this button the display shows Eight events that can be turned ON and OFF for each segment. The First Event which is generally labelled Lights is what turns the lights ON and/or Off. A total number of Eight Lighting/Event Outputs are available, however only the required hardware is fitted per cabinet. 26-1-16 17
Program 1 Lighting/Event Segment 1-5 Program 1 Lighting/Event Segment 6-10 Program Features. There are a few other features of the program that cannot be changed but are described below. Guaranteed Soak: This is a tolerance value, set at +/-2.0degC, and guarantees that the Program Set Values for Temperature only are reached. If during a program cycle the Actual Temperature deviates the Program Set Value (PSV) by more than +/-2.0degC the program will be put into a hold mode until the Actual Temperature is within the PSV. There is no Guaranteed Soak on the Humidity Value or the Co2 value. These values can deviate without the program going into a hold mode. Program Start Value: The Program starts at whatever the Actual Temperature, Humidity and Co2 are. If when starting the program the Actual Temperature is more than +/-2.0degC from Segment 1 s PSV the Guaranteed Soak value will hold the program until it reaches Segment 1 s target temperature. 26-1-16 18
Power Failure: In the event of a power failure the Program Cycle will end. On resumption of power the cabinet will control the Safe Operating Values. Starting the Diurnal/Program. The following screen shows the Diurnal/Program Set-Up screen. Once the desired program has been set up then the operator will need to enter the desired program number value into Start Program Number. Once the desire value has been entered the operator can then start the program by using the drop down menu. The following describes the item and the function of the parameters in the drop down menu. End The end parameter is what stops a current running program from operating Start The Start parameter is what starts the program that is entered into the Start Program Number. Pause The Pause Parameter will simply pause the program at its present point. It will hold this point until the resume parameters is selected. If the Start parameter is selected while a program is in pause it can restart the program from the beginning. Resume The Resume parameter will resume a program after it has been paused. Diurnal/Program Set Up Screen. Note: The Program can be Started, Stopped, Paused and Resumed in the Main Menu Screen. However you cannot select the Program Number in the Main Menu Screen. When the program is operating the Start Program Number value disappears and the Program Number Running value appears. The Program Running Number is a read only value just to give the operator and understanding of which program is operating. To change the Program that is running the operator will need to End the program to change the Start Program Number. This can only be performed in the Program Set-Up page. 26-1-16 19

Diagnostics Screen. The Diagnostics screen is simply a screen to help the operator when problems may occur. For example if the STAR-700 is operating a Program Cycle and there is a cycle of Power, the STAR-700 usually reverts back to SOV mode. However as power loss may occur due to storms and lighting strike and possibly construction work, the disruptive power supply may cause interference with the communication cable and cause the STAR- 700 Controller to turn the control actions for Temperature, Humidity and CO 2 Off. The Diagnostic screen allows the Authorised operator to turn the Temperature, Humidity and CO 2 functions back on again. It also shows the percentage output of each control function. This is a good diagnostic tool if the cabinet is not operating correctly. Diagnostic Screen. Contact Screen The Image Below is the Thermoline Contact Page. Contact Screen. 26-1-16 28

Temperature Operations at 5.0degC or lower for an extended period of time will eventually result in the refrigeration cooling coil becoming a block of ice. It is a requirement that if operating a Night Temperature of 5.0degC or lower than the Day Temperature needs be at least 10.0degC or higher to allow for any ice formation to melt and drain away. 26-1-16 29
