FDC nCompass
VERSION 6.1.17
In the case of power failure, the nCompass temperature control switches from AC power to a backup
battery located inside the electrical panel of the freezer. This battery is the 6 volt rechargeable type, and
is designed to last approximately 24-48 hours during power failure. It is recommended to test the battery
on a regular basis and replace the battery when needed (approximately 3-5 years).
ATTENTION: The battery backup system only powers the control during power failure.
It does not power the refrigeration system, and the freezer will not run during power failure.
When unplugging the freezer to put it into storage, the power failure alarm will sound. To disable this
power failure alarm, you will need to disconnect the battery; which is located in the electrical panel.
To do this, complete the following procedure:
1. Locate the electrical panel on the side of the freezer.
2. Remove the screws with a Phillips screwdriver, and remove the panel.
3. Locate the battery (which is clearly marked) in the lower right hand corner.
4. Disconnect one lead from the battery by removing the connector on the battery.
5. When returning the unit to service, complete steps 1-4, but reconnect the unplugged battery in
step 4. Then plug the freezer into the outlet to restore power.
It is recommended to keep the freezer plugged in and running when possible. Leaving the unit
unplugged for long periods of time may shorten the life expectancy of the freezer.
