refers to all models of that size (iB125, HB125, iLR125, HLR125, iPR125, HPR125). This manual covers all upright refrigerators,
which may be identied singly, by their size, or by their respective “Series”.

Avoiding Injury
Review safety instructions before installing, using, or maintaining the equipment.
♦Do not open multiple, loaded drawers at the same time.
♦Do not move a unit whose load exceeds 900 lbs / 408 kg (single-door units) or 1350 lbs / 612 kg (double-door units).
♦Before moving unit, ensure casters are unlocked and free of debris.
♦Never physically restrict any moving component.
♦Avoid removing electrical service panels and access panels unless so instructed.
♦Use manufacturer supplied power cords only.
CAUTION
Decontaminate parts prior to sending for service or repair. Contact Helmer or your distributor for decontamination
instructions and a Return Authorization Number.
1.2 General Recommendations
Intended Use
Helmer refrigerators are intended for the storage of blood products and other medical and scientic products.
General Use
Allow refrigerator to come to room temperature before switching power on.
During initial startup, high temperature alarm may sound while refrigerator reaches operating temperature.
CAUTION
Do not remove the cover from the condensate evaporator tray.
Initial Loading
Allow the refrigerator to reach room temperature before powering on. Allow chamber temperature to stabilize at the setpoint before
storing product.
Product Loading Guidelines
When loading your refrigerator, take care to observe the following guidelines:
♦Never load refrigerators beyond capacity.
♦Always store items within shelves, drawers or baskets.
♦ Temperature uniformity is maintained by air circulation, which could be impeded if unit is overlled, particularly at the top or
back. Ensure proper clearance is provided below the fan.
Note
Products stacked against back wall may obstruct air ow and affect performance of unit.

2 Installation
2.1 Location
♦ Has a grounded outlet meeting the electrical requirements listed on the product specication label.
♦Is clear of direct sunlight, high temperature sources, and heating and air conditioning vents.
♦Minimum 8“ (203 mm) above, and minimum 3” (76 mm) behind.
♦ Meets limits specied for ambient temperature (15˚C to 32˚C) and relative humidity.
2.2 Placement and Leveling
CAUTIONS
• The evaporation tray located on the rear of the refrigerator may be hot. Do not use the tray as a handle.
• To prevent tipping, ensure the casters are unlocked, leveling feet (if installed) are lifted, and the doors are closed before
moving the refrigerator.
1. Roll refrigerator into place and lock casters.
2. Ensure refrigerator is level.
Note
Helmer recommends the use of leveling feet.
2.3 Temperature Probes
Probe bottle(s) along with a container of glycerin have been provided with this unit. The glycerin is used to create a solution which
simulates the product stored in the refrigerator. The product simulation solution temperature reects the product’s temperature
during normal operation.
Notes
• Temperature probes are fragile; handle with care.
• Number and location of probes varies by model.
• Remote probes may also be introduced through the existing top port or through the side port (if included).
CAUTION
Failure to ll probe bottles or keep probe bottles lled to the appropriate level may not allow the chamber temperature to
stabilize at the refrigerator setpoint or the chamber temperature to display higher or lower than the actual temperature.
Primary Monitor Probe
The primary monitor probe is located in the top right corner of the refrigerator.
