4. Remove access covers over line-up holes & place the special T-nut washer on the
3/8" machine bolt with hollow section away from the bolt head. Insert the 3/8" line-
up bolts in the end frame. Tighten the 3/8" bolts with nut washer into the T-nuts
alternately until cases are pulled up tight & the joint is completely sealed.
(Reasonable care should be exercised in this procedure to prevent end frame
distortion.) Assist pulling case up tight by bumping from opposite end of case or by
using pry bar.
5. Inspect joint for proper air and water tight seal inside and outside the case.
6. Replace line-up access cover plugs & plates.
Most case trim can and should be installed immediately after cases are lined up. Where
possible, install all trim immediately so it will not be lost. The trim that cannot be installed
immediately such as kickplates, should be stored in a safe place until refrigeration and
electrical work is completed.
WASTE OUTLET
These cases are equipped with a 1 ½" M-NPT waste outlet connection which terminates
in the center of the case below the insulated bottom. The water seal trap is shipped loose
for field installation.

CLEANING
To insure minimum maintenance cost, case should be thoroughly emptied and washed out
at least once every three months. The exterior should be washed weekly. A mild soap
and water solution is recommended for painted surfaces of the cabinet. Do not use
cleaners containing abrasive materials, or ammonia bases cleaners, which will scratch or
dull the finish. The waste outlet should be flushed with water following each cleaning.
WARNING: Never introduce water into the case faster than the waste
outlet can carry it away. Do not use steam or high pressure
systems to clean the case, as seals may be broken which
will cause the case to leak. When cleaning lighted shelves,
wipe down with a wet sponge or cloth so that water does not
enter the light rails. Do not use a hose or submerge shelves
in water.
LOADING
Merchandise should not be placed in the case until all controls have been adjusted and the
case is at proper temperature. AT NO TIME SHOULD THE CASE BE STOCKED
BEYOND THE LOAD LINE OR OVER THE FRONT EDGE OF ADJUSTABLE SHELVES.
Doing so will seriously affect the performance which will result in higher product
temperatures and increase operating costs.
Merchandising Solutions By

ELECTRICAL
All field installed wiring must comply with the National Electrical Codes and Local Codes.
ELECTRICAL RACEWAY
An electrical raceway is provided with each case for wiring the fans, anti-sweat heaters,
and light circuits from case to case without using conduit. This applies, of course, when
the front bumper is properly secured into position. This is an approved method by the
Underwriters’ Laboratories; however, field wiring must be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes.
Warning: Flat tip screws from joint kit must be used to secure raceway
case to case. The sharp tip on self-tapping screws may cut and
short wiring.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All field connections are made in the electrical raceway. Make sure that proper voltage is
supplied to your case. Check case nameplate for the required voltage for fans, anti-sweat
heaters, lights and defrost heaters. ALL CASES MUST BE GROUNDED.
NOTE: Fan motors must operate continuously except during defrost on low
temp models and panel must be marked sufficiently to prevent the fan
motors and anti-sweat heaters from being turned off accidentally.
When cases are multiplexed, add the total of these amperage
values to determine wire size and circuit protection. Anti-condensate
controllers can be used to control the anti-condensate heater.
Merchandising Solutions By
series Page 10
000
On electric defrost models, the defrost heater amperages of all cases on each defrost
circuit should be added together, and if their rating exceeds the defrost time clock or
condensing unit breaker capacity, a defrost relay and circuit breaker must be employed
and furnished by others. Make sure that proper wire size and branch circuit protection are
employed for safe operation.
The Case Data chart on page 17 shows the electrical ratings for your case. This is the
same information that appears on your case nameplate.
When electronic lighting is used in the canopy or on the shelves of cases, special attention
must be given to the proper installation of bulbs and shelf power cord ends. It is imperative
that the pins of the bulbs and the shelf power cords be completely seated in their
respective lamp holder or receptacle. If they are not completely seated, an electrical arc
could occur that will cause the lamp holders or the shelf light receptacles to melt and
become and electrical hazard. Care must be taken during cleaning and stocking
processes to insure that bulbs and shelf cords are not dislodged.
The fan motors employed are permanently oiled for the life of the motor and requires no
periodic maintenance. They are wired according to the enclosed wiring diagram and must
run continuously except during defrost on low temperature cases.
Merchandising Solutions By
series Page 11
000
ANTI-SWEAT HEATERS
Anti-sweat heaters are built in the glass doors and frames to eliminate condensation or
frost from forming on the case.
Note: The low temperature cases (LV5V3 and IV5V3) are equipped with a fixed
safety cut-off bi-metal control to turn off the A/S heaters should the case
temperature rise above 50b bF. This safety cut-off control is located in the
inside top of the case behind the left door and can be serviced by removing
the access cover at the left inside top of the case.
The expansion valve furnished with your case has been sized for maximum coil efficiency.
To adjust superheat, place a thermocouple under the expansion valve bulb. Read the
suction line pressure as near coil as possible. (If at the condensing unit, estimate suction
line loss at 2 PSIG.) Convert coil suction pressure to temperature. The difference between
coil temperature and the thermocouple temperature is superheat. (Use average superheat
when expansion valve is hunting.) Do not set superheat until cases have pulled down to
operating temperature and never open or close valve over 1/4 turn between adjustments
always allow 10 minutes or more between adjustments. Superheat setting should be
between 6 and 8 degrees F.

REFRIGERATION LINES
The refrigeration lines are located under the deck pans on the 2,3,4 or 5 door cases. A
refrigeration outlet is provided in the front right hand end of the (I)(L)(D)V5V3 cases. Make
sure all refrigeration lines lie close to the refrigeration bottom so as not to obstruct the air
pattern or block the deck pans. See the section on “Recommended Piping Practices” on
page 34 for additional piping details.
These 2,3,4 and 5 door cases have polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation. To open a
ferrule hole, simply heat a piece of copper tubing of the same size as the tubing to be
employed and force it through the ferrule hole.
NOTE: Seal around lines after connections are made. Keep direct flame
from bottom of case, as heat will disintegrate the bottom
and insulation. Use a heat shield when welding near the bottom of
the cases.
REFRIGERANT
Expansion valves are supplied for the refrigerant specified on the original sales order.
HEAT EXCHANGER
Heat exchangers are standard in these cases. They aid in increasing operating efficiency
and reduce frosting and flood-back to the compressor. Heat exchangers may be deleted
if mechanical subcooling is incorporated in the system design.
OPERATION
Merchandising Solutions By
series Page 13
000
variables are present in each installation, such as store temperature, length of tubing runs,
temperature desired in case, etc., the case data is only a guide for the installer.
Please read carefully before placing system into operation. To prevent scaling due to
brazing, dry nitrogen should be allowed to flow through lines at 2 psig while brazing
operations are taking place. After laying refrigerant lines, they should be blown out with
dry nitrogen before making final connection at fixture or condensing unit to prevent any
foreign matter being left in the lines.
After the case has been pressure-tested (not to exceed 250 pounds) and proven leak-free,
it is recommended that the case be dehydrated with a vacuum pump to 1000 microns for
the first two evacuations and 500 microns on the third. This triple evacuation method
requires evacuating the case three successive times and breaking the first two vacuums
with dry nitrogen. The third vacuum would be broken with the refrigerant specified for the
case.
CONTROL DESCRIPTION
Off- Time Defrost DV5V3- These medium temperature cases are standard as off time
defrost. The case fans should be connected so that they operate continuously. Defrost
cycles are time initiated and either time or pressure terminated. Case temperatures should
be controlled by thermostat or EPR. Recommended off cycle defrosts are 3 per 24 hours
with 44 min. failsafe.
Merchandising Solutions By
series Page 14
000
If straight time defrost is used, use the Fail Safe as the time setting. For pressure
termination of defrost, an 8245 Paragon or equivalent time clock must be furnished with
the condensing unit. (See wiring diagram on page 21)
Electric Defrost- IV5V3, LV5V3- These low temperature case models must use electric
or optional hot gas defrost can be incorporated.
For the electric defrost models, multiple cal-rod heaters are utilized. The defrost heaters
are 774 watts each and are located under the coil. There are 2 heaters in a 2 door, 3 in
a 3 door, 4 in a 4 door and 5 in a 5 door. The case fans run continuously except during
defrost. The defrost is initiated by time and must be terminated by the defrost terminator
in the case.
The defrost terminator is mounted on the 5/8" cross over tube at the left end of the coil.
The control is a bi-metal thermostat set at 65 degrees F. At the same location, there is a
defrost safety and fan delay control. The defrost safety control is wired in series with the
defrost heater to turn the heater off at temperatures over 70 degrees F. The delay is wired
in series with the fan motors and keeps the fans off until the coil reaches 10 degrees F.
When a defrost is initiated, the refrigeration is stopped, the case fans are turned off by a
current sensing relay and the defrost heater is turned on. The defrost cycle continues until
the coil temperature reaches approximately 65 degrees F. At this point, the defrost heater
is turned off, the refrigeration is turned on and the fans start when the coil temperature
reaches 10 degrees F.
If desired, a 3 to 5 minute run-off time may be programmed into the rack control defrost
times. This delay allows the system pressure to stabilize and insures that all drain water
has exited the case. Some rack controllers may not have the run-off feature.
Recommended electric defrosts are 1 per 24 hours with 60 min. failsafe.(See wiring
diagram on page 19)
Note: Schedule defrost at store closing time or 2 hours before store opening.
Avoid defrosts during shopping and stocking periods.

series Page 15
000
Hot Gas Defrost- IV5V3, LV5V3- The basic operation and control location of hot gas
defrost cases are the same as electric, except that the heat for defrost is from the
discharge gas of the compressor system and not an electric heater.
NOTE: Hot gas defrost cases are intended for use with a multi-
compressor parallel system equipped for reverse cycle hot gas
defrost.
When a defrost is initiated, the refrigeration stops, the fans stop and the appropriate valves
on the condensing unit are activated to direct discharge gas through the suction line to the
cases on defrost.
As the hot gas reaches the case, it is directed to the coil. The fans stop when the
evaporator temperature reaches approximately 25b. A 30 watt heater continuously warms
the drain pan area to insure proper run off of all condensate water.
The defrost termination control is located on the expansion valve bypass line at the left end
of the case. This control is a bi-metal control, fixed at 65 degrees F.
The defrost is terminated by temperature when the bypass line reaches approximately 65
degrees F. This deactivates the hot gas defrost valves on the condensing unit and returns
the system to refrigeration. After the coil has reached approximately 10 degrees F, the
fans will start and the case will return to normal operating temperatures. A fixed bi-metal
control, mounted on the lower coil tube keeps fans off until proper temperature is reached
(10 degrees F).
A 3 to 5 minute run-off time may be programmed into the rack controller. This delay allows
the system pressure to stabilize and insures that all drain water has exited the case. Some
rack controllers may not have the run-off feature. Recommended hot gas defrosts are 1
per 24 hours with a 34 min. failsafe. (See wiring diagram on page 20)

RECOMMENDED PIPING PRACTICES FOR KYSOR/WARREN CASES
1. Proper size refrigeration lines are essential to good refrigeration performance.
Suction lines are more critical than liquid or discharge lines. Oversized suction
lines may prevent good oil return to the compressor. Undersized lines can rob
refrigeration capacity and increase operating cost. Consult the technical manual
or legend sheet for proper line sizes.
2. Refrigeration lines in cases in line-ups can be reduced. However, the lines should
be no smaller than the main trunk lines in at least 1/3 of the cases and no smaller
than one size above the case lines to the last case. Reductions should not exceed
one line size per case. It is preferable to bring the main trunk lines in at the center
of line-up. Liquid lines on systems with hot gas defrost must be increased one line
size above the main trunk line for the entire line-up. Individual feed lines should be
at the bottom of the liquid header.
3. Do not run refrigeration lines from one system through cases on another system.
4. Use dry nitrogen in lines during the brazing to prevent scaling and oxidation.
5. Insulate suction lines from the cases to the compressor with 3/4" wall thickness
foam on low temperature cases to provide maximum of 65-degree sub-cooled
gas back to the compressor and prevent condensation in exposed areas.
Insulate suction lines on medium temperature cases with ½" thick insulation in
exposed areas to prevent condensate droppage.
6. Suction and liquid lines should never be taped or soldered together. An adequate
heat exchanger is provided in the case. Kysor//Warren recommends use of a heat
exchanger in all medium and low temperature case that are not mechanically sub-
cooled for proper operation.
7. Refrigeration lines should never be placed in the ground unless they are protected
against moisture and electrolysis attack.
Merchandising Solutions By
series Page 34
000
8. Always slope suction lines down toward the compressor, ½" each 10'. Do not
leave dips in the line that would trap oil.
9. Provide “P” traps at the bottom of suction line risers, 4' or longer. Use a double “P”
trap for each 20' of risers. “P” traps should be the same size as the horizontal line.
Consult the technical manual or legend sheet for proper size risers.
11. Provide expansion loops in suction lines of systems on hot gas defrost. An
expansion loop is required for each 100' of straight run.
12. Strap and support tubing to prevent excessive line vibration and noise.
13. Brazing of copper to copper should be with a minimum of 10% silver. Copper to
brass or copper to steel should be with 45% silver.
14. Avoid the use of “bull head” tees in suction lines. An example is where suction gas
enters both ends of the tee and exits the center. This can cause a substantial
increase in pressure drop in the suction lines.
15. When connecting more than one suction line to a main trunk line, connect each
branch with an inverted trap.
