High Stage Compressor Failure Freezer Fails
No high or low stage used. Two refrig-
eration systems, each with a separate
compressor, operate independently in
overlapping cycles during normal op-
eration. If one compressor fails internal
temperature is maintained indenitely
at -65°C with backup compressor.

Low Stage Compressor Failure Freezer Fails
Performance Chart, power-failure situation Normal operation and Twin Guard Series™ backup.
Reduced Power Consumption
The SANYO Twin Guard Series
™
Freezer
can be set for Normal or EcoMode
™
operation, depending on ambient tem-
perature and load. EcoMode
™
is recom-
mended for 90-95% of applications.
Although both refrigeration systems are
completely independent, EcoMode
™
establishes an overlapping cycle to
significantly reduce energy consump-
tion while optimizing interior uniformity
from top-to-bottom and front-to-back for
protection of high value materials.
