The provided document is a product manual for the EXL95H/96H Chiller/Cooler Carbonator, manufactured by Booth Dispensers Ltd. The device is designed for chilling and carbonating beverages, primarily for commercial use in bars and similar establishments, as indicated by the "BRANDELS From the Cellar to the Bar" logo. The manual covers introduction, specifications, installation, commissioning, wiring schematics, water circuits, fault finding, replacement parts, and disposal.
Function Description
The EXL95H and EXL96H units are medium to high-capacity chillers that incorporate soda recirculation. They offer an option for a cold carbonator, also with soda recirculation. The modular design allows for various control options, including a single mechanical thermostat or a choice of two digital thermostats, specified at the time of order. These units can also accommodate up to six syrup cooling coils.
The carbonator version of the unit is designed to produce carbonated water, while the non-carbonator version focuses solely on chilling still water and soda. Both versions utilize a refrigeration system to create an ice bank, which then chills the circulating water or soda. The carbonator models include components for CO2 input, water inlet for soda, and a carbonator vessel to infuse CO2 into the water. The non-carbonator models focus on chilling still water and pre-chilled soda.

Installation:
- Must be installed by a competent person on a firm, level surface.
- Requires at least 100mm clearance from other surfaces for proper ventilation.
- The bath must be filled with cold water until it overflows to prevent spillage during ice bank formation.
- For carbonator models, specific steps are required for connecting CO2, water, and soda recirculation lines, as well as purging air from the system.
- For non-carbonator models, connections for still water, soda water, and recirculation lines are required.
Maintenance Features
Safety Precautions:
- Service must only be carried out by a suitably qualified refrigeration engineer.
- The unit must be isolated from the electricity supply before removing covers.
- The refrigeration circuit must not be damaged.
- Ventilation openings must be kept clear of obstructions.
- A minimum gap of 100mm between the appliance and any restriction is required for proper airflow.
- Replacement electrical components must be of the same type.
- Operation within ambient temperatures of 10°C to 32°C is crucial.
Fault Finding (Carb Deck):
- Warm Drinks/No Carb Water: Check LED illumination, pump timeout, water inlet solenoid, pump, can level detection PCB, water supply, soda recirc pump, CO2 pressure, fuses, and PCB.
- First Drinks Only/Permanently/Intermittently: Check recirc pump, fridge running status, fuse, thermostat, compressor, fridge overheating, condenser, fan, transformer, glycol level, glycol pump, heat dump fan, and temperature cut-out.
- Fridge System Failure: If all checks are clear, the fridge system may require repair.
Fault Finding (Non Carb Deck):
- Warm Drinks/First Drinks Only/Permanently/Intermittently: Check recirc pump, fridge running status, fuse, thermostat, compressor, fridge overheating, condenser, and fan.
- Fridge System Failure: If all checks are clear, the fridge system may require repair.

Transportation:
- The unit must always be transported in an upright position to prevent irreparable damage to the refrigeration system.
- If transported incorrectly, it must be placed upright and left for 24 hours before operation. Failure to follow this voids the warranty.
