Section 2 - Unpacking Instructions
- Unpack
the system immediately by following the instructions in this manual.
Inspect packaging for visible damage.
- Retain
the cartons and packing materials until the system is completely assembled
and working properly.
- Set
up and run the system immediately to confirm proper operation. Beyond one
week, your system may be warranty repaired, but not replaced.
- Check
your purchase order against the shipment to be certain that all parts have
arrived.
- Contact
Satellite Cooling® immediately if there are any missing parts.
- Satellite
Cooling® will verify any backorders.
- Do
not use sharp objects to open the cartons.
- The
chiller is heavy, and can weigh more than 150 pounds. It is recommended
that at least two (2) people accustomed to lifting heavy objects remove it
from its carton.
- Should
any damage to any component of the Satellite Cooling® System be apparent,
immediately file a claim with the shipping company.
Section 3 - Setup Instructions
- To
familiarize you with the way the Satellite Cooling® System is used, it is
recommended that you read this manual as well as the enclosed “Operator’s
Manual for Refrigerated Recirculating Chillers” completely.
- Failure
to properly set up the Satellite Cooling® System may cause damage to the
system and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Although
we have made every effort to simplify the operation of the system, some
instruction is necessary for proper use.
3.1 - The Modules
- Place
the Satellite tray and bowl modules in the approximate layout desired.
Remember to leave adequate space between each module for the cooling
lines. Although the cooling lines are short, they do take up some space. (Do
not turn the chiller on at this time.)
- Each
module (bowl or tray) has four (4) fittings; two are located on each side.
These fittings are where the cooling lines connect to the module. Two six
foot cooling lines are required between the chiller and the first module,
and two cooling lines are required between each of any subsequent modules.
- After
unpacking and checking that each component has arrived undamaged, it is
recommended that you locate the cooling lines and connect and disconnect
them a few times before trying to set up a buffet.
- When
connecting and disconnecting the cooling lines from the modules, DO NOT
wiggle the connectors from side to side. Pull back on coupler sleeve snap
straight on to connect, then pushing the coupler sleeve forward, towards
the module to click into place. Reverse process to disconnect.
3. 2 - The Chiller
- Move
the chiller to its final position under or beside the serving table and
out of the path of customer traffic. The chiller should be located near an
electrical outlet or with a heavy duty extension cord of 50' or less in
length with the same electrical rating as the cord on the Satellite
chiller. The Satellite chiller has a fan inside that allows the heat
removed from Satellite modules to be blown from the chilling unit. It is
very important that the chiller be allowed to ‘breathe’.
- Air
flow must be allowed to get to the chiller. THE
SYSTEM WILL NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED IF THERE IS INSUFFICIENT AIR FLOW TO
THE CHILLER. Make sure
that the tablecloth or table skirting cannot block the
venting areas of the unit. Occasionally during
the serving period, check to be sure the air flow to the chiller is not
restricted.
Please Note: Should the
Satellite Cooling System® fail to perform the cooling which is expected, follow
these four steps:
1. Turn off the compressor.
2. Check the electrical supply for sufficient amperage.
3. Check all of the connections to be sure they are connected.
4. Check the fluid level in the chiller.
5. Check the air filter for cleanliness and air flow. Remove any
dust or debris which may have accumulated.
6. Should problems continue, contact Satellite Cooling® for further
instruction.

3.3 - Cooling Lines
- Once
the modules (bowls and trays) are positioned, connect them to each other
with the hoses provided. Push the body connection of the hose onto the insert
connection on the module. It will click into place. Tug gently, but DO NOT
wiggle back and forth, on the cooling lines to make sure the connection
has been made. Because the Satellite Thermal Mix circulates from module to
module, any connection that is not made correctly will cause the modules
farther away from the chiller to be warm or to leak. DO NOT turn on the
system if leaking of the Thermal Mix persists. Use caution, the Satellite
Thermal Mix is slippery. Wipe up any fluid immediately. (Do
not turn the chiller on at this time.)
- Next,
connect one cooling line from the chiller to a quick connect fitting on
the first module and another cooling line to the other quick connect
fitting of the first module. Either one works; they are interchangeable.
Note: Listen for the “click” as the fittings are connected. (Do
not turn the chiller
on at this time).
- If
a chilling line is difficult to connect to a module, place the module in a
cold environment or rub ice on the surface for 15 minutes. This will
result in a decrease of internal fluid pressure, allowing for easier
connection.
- Now
that you have completed set up of the Satellite Cooling® System, read the
following Operating Instructions before turning on and operating the
system.
Section 4 - Operating Instructions for the Satellite Cooling®
Systems
4.1 – Warning
- Do
not connect the Satellite chiller to an electrical outlet unless it is a
grounded (3-pronged) outlet of the correct electrical rating listed on the
Satellite chiller. You can find the information on the back of the
Satellite chiller and in the Operator’s Manual, shipped with the Satellite
chiller.
- Do
not turn the Satellite chiller on until the Satellite modules (bowls and
trays) are connected to each other and then to the Satellite chiller.
- Do
not store the Satellite chiller or modules in areas where they will be
exposed to excessive heat.
- Use
the Satellite chiller only with approved Satellite modules, Satellite
Thermal Mix and Satellite cooling lines. Failure to do so may cause
injury, damage to the Satellite Cooling®
System and will void all warranties. DO NOT use any other cooling source
other than the Satellite Cooling®
chiller.
- Operate
the Satellite chiller on level surfaces only.
- For
optimal cooling, DO NOT operates the Satellite Cooling® System in direct
sunlight.
4.2 - Operation
Now that you have set up the Satellite Cooling® System according
to the Setup Instructions, you should follow the instructions below prior to
turning on or operating the system.
- Double
check all Satellite modules (bowls and trays) and cooling line
connections.
- Open
the approved Satellite Thermal Mix. Find and open the top of the Satellite
chiller. Pour the fluid into the reservoir until it has reached the
appropriate marking for max level located on the site lens at the back of
the Satellite chiller. A float in the reservoir will sound an alarm and
shut down the system if the fluid level is not appropriately maintained.
The recommended level is approximately ˝" from the top of the screen
filter.
- Plug
the power cord into an outlet that is properly grounded (3-pronged) of the
correct electrical rating listed on the Satellite chiller. You can find
the information on the back of the Satellite chiller and in the chiller
Operator’s Manual, shipped with the Satellite chiller. If an extension
cord is necessary, use only a heavy duty UL recognized version of 50' or
less in length. Use of any other type will adversely affect the
performance of the Satellite Cooling® System.
- Turn
on the power switch located on the rear panel of the Satellite chiller and
check all cooling lines for any leaks. Should a leak be detected, turn off
the Satellite chiller. Reconnect or replace leaking cooling lines and
repeat start-up of the Satellite chiller.
- Allow
the system to run for a period of at least 30 minutes in order to cool
modules to proper temperatures. The temperature display is set to reach
10°F by the manufacturer for optimal cooling. It is recommended that this
setting remain unchanged. Check food temperatures periodically.
Section 5 - Operation & Maintenance of Modules (Bowl, Oval
and Rectangle)
- Hand
wash module with mild soap and warm water or non-abrasive and non-acidic cleaner
recommended for smooth surfaces.
