2.5.2 Environmental working conditions.

The trolley guarantees operation in ambient temperature conditions between 5°C and 43°C.
Best performances are obtained with ambient temperatures between 15 and 25 °C.
Use of the trolley is only permitted in closed premises protected from atmospheric agents such as
rain, snow, hail and fog.
Avoid frequent transferring the trolley from cold premises to warm and damp premises because it
could arise condensation of damp on the electronic boards, a possible cause of early wear, bad
operation or, at worst, of damage to the boards themselves.

2.5.3 Environments with fire or explosion hazards.

The trolley is not suitable for operating in environments with fire or explosion hazards.

If the trolley working environment is subjected to hazards due to leaks of natural gas, it is necessary
to provide suitable active safety means, accordingly to the current safety regulations, in order to
avoid accumulating natural gas and reducing the risk of fire and explosions (e.g. natural gas
detecting systems and automatic service exclusion valves).
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in case of damages due to explosions in
environments containing explosive gases.

2.5.4 Lighting

Even if the control panel is equipped with LEDs showing the active functions, it is suggested
operating the trolley in an environment bright enough to prevent operating errors or accidents.

It is mandatory to carry out maintenance and repairs in environments equipped with


sufficient floodlighting

2.5.5 Vibrations.

In normal conditions the trolley does not generate noticeable vibrations. If relevant vibrations are
detected call After Sales Service and defer any use of the trolley until the problem has been solved.

It is not allowed to use the trolley if vibrations or shakes are present, which might damage the
refrigeration plant. The trolley can be carried on trucks, but it cannot operate during the
transportation.

2.5.6 Noise emissions

The trolley emits low levels of sound: just 55 Db Leq A measured at a distance of 1.5 metres from
the trolley.

2.5.7 Waste and environmental pollution.

The trolley does not release hazardous substances during its operations.
In case of damage to the refrigeration plant, leaks of refrigeration fluid (R134A) may take place.
The concentrations are not so high to result in hazards for the operator. Avoid inhaling the gas in
any case if the fail results in relevant leaks. The gas R134A is considered “environment friendly”
because it does not contain HCFC and therefore it does not damage the ozone layer.
For cleaning, use only the suggested products. Dispose of the water employed to clean the trolley
according to the current health and environment regulations.

that may be damaged or persons that may be injured.

The maintenance personnel must delimit their working area and make sure that can nobody enter.
The trolley under maintenance must be labelled as “DISABLED” in a visible way, by means of a
tag located on the control panel. Operators must follow strictly such indication and must not try to
use the trolley.

The operators must report immediately any malfunction to the supervisor.

The trolley must not be used by children, individuals with reduced physical/sensorial/mental
abilities or without proper training and experience.

Make sure that children do not play with the trolley.

European Standard EN 60335 requires that the unipotential contact is connected when the trolley is
stopped and connected to the electricity mains.
The fact that the trolley is fitted with a unipolar contact is indicated by the following sign on the
trolley.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 17 / 67
3.1.2 Allowed operation, forbidden operation.

The trolley is designed in order to keep cold and hot food at temperatures suitable for transporting
(COOK & CHILL, CCOOK & SERVE). The regeneration of preserved food at 3°C is available
(COOK & CHILL).

The current regulations recommend to avoid cold (or hot) chain breaches in all the steps of the food
handling process. Trying to use the trolley to restore temperature values that are not in compliance
with the previous ones set before, is a forbidden misuse of the trolley.

Another misuse of the trolley occurs when poor hygienic conditions arises, due to maintenance
operations carried out without following the cleaning recommendations.

MISUSE

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury due to misuse of the trolley.

3.1.3 Working area, handling area, hazardous area.

The working area relevant to the operator is the area included in the trolley full perimeter, including
the control panel and the doors. The other parts, as the lower side, the upper side, and the inside of
the chambers should be considered dangerous, and so has to be considered all the areas near the
trolley while a maintenance operation is carried out.

The trolley’s operating area is given by its positioning area and its full path on the floor. The
operator must keep this area free of persons, objects and animals in order to avoid damages or
injuries.

 In order to unplug the trolley, rotate the switch on the socket to unlock it, and then remove the
plug holding it with one hand, while keeping the other hand on the socket.
 Never move the trolley on uneven paths or floors, or over unlevelled thresholds in lifts and
ramps.
 Never use the trolley on slippery surfaces.

5.2 Utilization , areas, operators.

In order to use the trolley correctly, the operator must stay in front of the control panel in a
comfortable position, during the control operations and during the displacement operations, when
operating the panel or when holding the pushing handles.
Never open the doors abruptly while the doors are hot at the end of a heating cycle. The hot steam is
dangerous. Open gently the doors while they are hot, in order to let the steam rise.
During the loading and unloading operations (the wheels must be locked), the doors must be opened
and locked to their holders. The operator may approach the trays and the dishes located inside
wearing cotton gloves, protecting his/her hands from the heat. The choice of a proper quality of
gloves is under the responsibility of the user.
Check the pathways and assure that they are free from obstacles (which may damage the trolley), or
from people (who may be injured).
The operator may never make wrong use of the trolley, e.g. to carry people, animals, objects.
Never bring the trolley near to heat sources.
Never use objects to press the buttons on the control panel, the keyboard membrane can be
damaged.
In case of malfunctions report the problem to the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.

5.3 Control panel and instruments.

The next picture displays the trolley control panel, by means of which the operator can start the

5.4 Starting the trolley.

5.4.1 Introduction.

The trolley is designed with the aim to simplify as much as possible the functions, requiring the
operator just few simple operations.
Nevertheless, the market demands for versatility and functionality require sophisticated
technological solutions allowing to employ the trolley in many different conditions.
The program which manages the electronics (the firmware) allow to define more than hundred
parameters which may adapt the trolley to satisfy the most special requests.
In order to let the user friendliness meet the full customisation, the manufacturer defines three user
levels, having different levels of access to the cycle parameters:

 Basic User, who operates the trolley but doesn’t modify the cycle parameters.
 Super-User, who modifies / defines the user cycle parameters (password requested).
 Technician, authorized by the manufacturer, who defines the parameters in such a way to
completely modify its operation (password requested).

In this manual, only the instructions relevant to the Basic User and Super User are given. The full
modification of the parameters is reserved to the manufacturer.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 27 / 67
5.4.2 How to start a cycle.

This paragraph is intended for the Basic User. Simple instructions are given, easy to learn, while the
cycle parameter must be already defined and checked on a practical basis to be suitable for use.

The starting sequence is the following:

 Lock the pivoting wheels whit their brakes.


 Insert the plug in the power supply socket, rotate the switch on the plug to ON

Now the pilot lamp located inside the OFF key flashes, indicating that the power is supplied and
that the trolley is OFF, waiting for starting.

 Press the ON key. The green pilot lamp inside the ON key is now lit. The automatic procedure
managed by the microprocessor begins to check the trolley functions. The symbols “8888” and
“88” are displayed for few seconds on D1 and D2 respectively. The green LEDs on the keys are
lit together for few seconds. If the check doesn’t find malfunctions, D1 will display for few
seconds the firmware version (following the letter U, e.g. U06) and the trolley or department
identification number, following the _ sign (e.g. _026). Then D1 will show (alternating) the two
temperatures: one is read in the refrigerated environment, following the letter C (e.g. C22) and
the other one refers to oven temperature, following the letter H (e.g. H25). When this function
is installed, the refrigeration in the oven and fridge environments will be activated
automatically according to the programmed temperature range. The trolley will work also as a
refrigerator.
 Then, press ON for few seconds. The trolley or department identification number will be shown
again on D1.
 Press key 1, 2, or 3 to start the respective regeneration / storing cycle 1-2-3; to start up cold
cycles, you must press twice consecutively key 1 for cycle 4, key 2 for cycle 5 and key 3 for
cycle 6. According to the selected cycle D1 will indicate the symbol of the type of cycle
selected (hot or cold) for a few seconds and the maximum temperature for the hot cycle, or
minimum for the cold cycle, started up, subsequently it will continue to show the temperature
read in the oven and the refrigerator in intervals; D2 will indicate the duration of the cycle in
minutes, a flashing dot to the right of the time in minutes will indicate the timer is activated.
D2 will continue to indicate the residual time in minutes. . It is recommended that you define
cycle 1 as the lunch cycle, cycle 2 as the dinner cycle, cycle 3 as the hot storing cycle for
connecting in the ward should distribution be postponed. When the oven refrigeration function
is on (if the trolley is equipped with this function), it will halt as soon as one of the 1, 2, 3
cycles is activated, and the warming will start. The oven refrigeration function continues then
automatically, according to the temperatures which have been set.
 You can check and view the maximum / minimum temperature set of a cycle in progress by
pressing the 1, 2 or 3 key.
 To cancel a cycle in progress, keep the OFF key pressed for a few seconds and repeat the start
up operations.

5.4.3 End of the cycle.

When one of the cycles ends, the trolley interrupts the heating function automatically and emits an
intermitting sound alarm to call the operator, while D2 displays the time “00” Press any of the 1, 2,

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 28 / 67
3 keys to confirm having seen the end of cycle and clear the sound alarm; D1 will show (altenating)
the oven and fridge temperatures.
At the end of the hot cycles, the refrigeration of the fridge side will continue to function,
maintaining the set temperature.
At the end of the cold cycles, the refrigeration of both compartments will continue to function,
keeping the termperatures set in the last step of the cycle that just terminated.
To move the trolley while keeping the temperature check function activated, remove the plug from
the socket and follow, reversed, the procedure previously described, without pressing key OFF.
If this function is not needed, always press OFF before removing the plug from the socket.

5.4.4 Error messages and malfunctions.

The trolley’s “smart” electronic management allows to automatically find errors or malfunctions,
due to careless operation (like a door left opened), or to breakdown (like a broken resistors
assembly), or to wrong settings.
D1 displays all the error signals showing (alternating) the error code, such as “E8” while a sound
alarm (having a higher frequency than the end of cycle signal) draws the operator’s attention.
The following alarm code are employed:

 E01 Wrong parameters set for the activated cycle; more than 10 time/temperature pairs
were added per hot cycle or more than six triplets were added for each cold cycle. Use of the
trolley is not possible, but the alarm must be cleared by pressing key 1, 2 or 3 and restoring the
proper working conditions by editing the wrong parameters (ask the super user)

 E02 Wrong parameters in the activated cycle; the set point inserted for the activated cycle
is not compatible with the maximum or minimum allowed temperature Use of the trolley is not
possible, but the alarm must be cleared by pressing key 1, 2 or 3 and restoring the proper
working conditions by editing the wrong parameters. (ask the super user)

 E03 Wrong parameters in the activated refrigerator cycle; the fridge set point for the
activated cycle is higher than the maximum allowed temperature for the fridge. It is not possible
to proceed with the regular cycle operation. Clear the alarm by pressing one of the 1-2-3 keys
and restore the proper working conditions, modifying the parameters (ask to the “super user”).

 E04 Wrong parameters in the activated oven/fridge cycle; one value “0” was set, or the
times sum for a cycle is more than 99 minutes. It is not possible to proceed with the regular
cycle operation. Clear the alarm by pressing one of the 1-2-3 keys and restore the proper
working conditions, modifying the parameters (ask to the “super user”).

 E05 The oven temperature is higher than the maximum allowed value. Heating and
ventilation are immediately halted. It is not possible to proceed with the regular cycle operation.
Clear the alarm by pressing one of the 1-2-3 keys and ask the Manufacturer’s After Sales
Service in order to ascertain the reason of such malfunction.

 E06 The oven temperature at the end of any cycle (1-2-3) differs from the set point for
more than the allowed percentage. Reset the sound alarm by pressing one of the keys 1-2-3. It is
possible to work with the trolley, but it is necessary to search the reasons of the fault:
1. The door of the oven was left opened.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 29 / 67
2. Set point too high with respect to the time available (only if standard parameters were
modified)
3. One or more heating resistors are damaged.
4. Missing phase(s) on the power supply
5. Resistors overheating due to insufficient ventilation. The heat inertia is too high when
starting the heating phase, and the set point is thus exceeded.
 E07 Missing power supply. The alarm halts the oven / fridge cycle, if active, and the
signal indicates that the trolley cannot operate. Clear the alarm by pressing one of the 1-2-3
keys and search reasons of the fault:
1. The safety thermostatic breaker has switched (manual reset is needed); the reasons may be:
1. Malfunction in the oven temperature probe, and therefore the temperature exceeds the
maximum allowed value. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
2. Faulty safety thermostatic breaker. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
3. Oven fans jammed/out of order. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
2. Main power supply line switch malfunction. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service..

 E08 The temperature in the refrigerator and/or in the oven has exceeded the maximum
allowed limit to be able to operate in refrigeration and during the cold cycles. Clear the alarm
by pressing any of the 1-2-3 keys and look for the causes in the list below:
1. Defective refrigerator temperature sensor reading. Ask for assistance from the
Manufacturer.
2. Ambient temperature is too high.
3. Introduction of hot foods into the refrigerator.

 E09 Oven ventilation motors overheating. Safety thermal breakers have switched. The
oven is out of order. Clear the alarm by pressing one of the 1-2-3 keys and search reasons of the
fault:
1. Oven fans blocked. Only remove a possible foreign body if you succeed in not removing the
protective cover or call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
2. Electrical cabinet ventilation faulty. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
3. Oven fans faulty. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
4. Faulty starting condenser of the oven fans motor. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales
Service.

 E10 Lack of power during an oven / fridge automatic cycle, for a time longer than the
maximum allowed limit (standard: 3 minutes, it can by modified on request). The automatic
cycles are halted. The automatic alarm sound cannot be cleared. Turn the trolley OFF and then
(if needed) ON again, only at supervisor’s discretion.

 E11 Lack of power during the refrigerated storage (mainly for trolley used in “cold
lines”) for a time longer than the maximum allowed limit (standard: 10 minutes, it can be
modified on request). The trolley ceases to operate. The automatic alarm sound cannot be
cleared. Turn the trolley OFF and then (if needed) ON again, only at supervisor’s discretion.

 E12 Alarm caused by time limit exceeded for the trolley to cool the air in the fridge
and/or oven area to the set temperature. This alarm indicates either a fault in the refrigeration
system or a user failure or error: e.g. failure to close an opened door, food and crockery inserted
when too hot, etc….

 E13 Alarm caused by time limit for the trolley to heat the air in the oven area up to the set
temperature being exceeded. The alarm shows either a fault in the heating system or a user
failure or error: e.g. failure to close an opened door.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 30 / 67
 E17 Allarm caused by one or more trolley power phases missing. This alarm does not
interrupt the normal working of the trolley; an alarm message remains on the display until the
problem is dealt with.
The main causes are:
1. Blown fuse. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
2. Faulty cable. Call the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service.
3. Faulty wall socket.

 E20 The cold cycle cannot be executed because upon ignition of the trolley, the temperature in
the oven exceeded the maximum allowed limit to be able to operate in refrigeration mode.
Clear the alarm by pressing any of the 1-2-3 keys and restart the trolley, then look for causes in
the list below:
1. Defective oven temperature sensor reading.
2. A hot cycle was carried out prior to activating the cold cycle.
3. Introduction of hot foods into the oven.

WARNING. The automatic fault detecting function described above includes the most
frequent problems, and it is a great help for troubleshooting. Nevertheless, the operator must
always pay attention at supervise every part of the trolley, and to supervise the trolley’s
operation.

5.4.5 Using the external probe (optional).

On request, it is possible to equip the trolley with a removable external probe, in order to check the
food temperature while loading the trolley, or before the distribution in the department. The
removable external probe is issued to the person responsible for the trolley loading operation and/or
for food distribution. It includes a grip with a piercing test prod, to be introduced in the food to
check (after cleaning and disinfections), a connecting plug (to the trolley), a connection cable. The
probe is activated when the plug is inserted in the socket located on the control panel above the
keyboard, but only if none of the cycles 1-2-3-4-5-6 is active, and if the trolley is ON (or is
operating with battery).

The temperature value read by the external probe is displayed steadily on D1, preceded by the letter
P.

In order to help the check performed by means of the probe, the trolley emits an alarm sound when
the temperature displayed is more than 65° C or less than 10°C. These values can be modified by
the manufacturer. This function indicates when the food are stored in a temperature range
complying to the regulations. This function can be disabled upon request.
When the trolley is equipped with a data logger (optional) to store the temperatures of the thermal
cycles, the values read by the external probe can be automatically stored.
To activate this function, wait for few seconds until the displayed value stabilizes, and then press
the ON key until D1 will flash for few seconds displaying the temperature value.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 31 / 67
WARNING. The external probe can be employed only by personnel qualified and authorized by
the customer, who takes all the responsibility concerning health and safety.
The probe’s sharp edge entails hazard for the operators.
Any misuse of the probe is explicitly forbidden.

5.4.6 Displaying temperatures by means of the auxiliary battery (optional).

On request, the trolley may be equipped with an extra battery to keep the electronic system active
for a given (programmable) time while moving the trolley (see paragraph 5.5)
Using this function, the operator may know the oven and fridge temperatures while the plug is not
connected to the socket.
Moreover, for those trolley equipped with data logger, the trolley will continue to store
automatically the temperature readings.

In order to activate the battery, the trolley must be disconnected from the power supply socket, after
the completion of the thermal cycles, without pressing key OFF. If key OFF is pressed the battery is
NOT activated.

In order to display the oven and fridge temperatures, keep pressed key ON until the data are
displayed. D1 will display (alternating) both the temperature as usually.
While the battery is activated it is possible to repeat the operation at any time, up to the limit
allowed by the battery capacity.

5.4.7 Data logging (optional data logger).

The operating parameters for this function are set by the manufacturer, who defines (together with
the user) the temperature storage timing for the selected cycle.
In order to operate correctly, the data storage system must be fed with the correct trolley number
and the correct clock setting (see paragraph 5.5.4).

The trolley begins to record the data when one of the oven/fridge cycles starts. Starting date and
time are logged, the cycle number, the temperatures of the oven and the fridge.
The data are logged every 5 minutes (default setting, adjustable) after the start of the cycle,
continuing after the end of the cycle until the end of the time programmed for the battery operation
has expired.

At the end of the cycle, the system is forced to log an end-of-cycle message and the usual
temperatures.
Any malfunction resulting in an alarm condition previously described will be logged at the same
time when it happens, and it will be present also in the further records, until the problem is solved.
Logging data from the external temperature probe: see logging mode description in the paragraph
5.4.5.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 32 / 67
The trolley can store about 4600 data strings, equivalent to about 200 thermal cycles (considering a
20 minutes cycle, followed by 30 minutes under battery) and 5 data storage from the external
temperature probe (more than 3 months of operation). When the memory is full, the oldest data are
cleared from memory when new data are recorded.
The InfraRed data link mode (from the trolley to the PC) is described in the operation manual of the
Manufacturer’s Pocket Computer, the tool which is enabled to receive such data. In short, the IR
data link is activated when the trolley is connected to the power supply and key OFF is flashing, or
else while the trolley operates powered by the battery when the temperatures are displayed pressing
key ON.
Of course, the activation time of the trolley is automatically extended for few seconds after the end
of the data transmission (normally it is limited to temperature display).

5.4.8 Remote Control of the trolley (optional).

For modern management of the New Unitray, understood as the main element in the meal
distribution chain, the Manufacturer’s Sales Service provides the optional possibility of connecting
the trolley to the hospital’s Ethernet network.
This option permits the complete management, from one or more Personal Computers, of all the
functions of the trolley both as regards the monitoring and real time saving of the temperatures and
cycle parameters and as regards the actual programming of the trolley.
All this is made possible by a supplementary electronic interface board between the trolley and the
Ethernet network and the “Communicator Plus” software package specially designed to dialog with
the trolley and to display the information that the trolley sends to the P.C. in graphic form.
For using the “Communicator Plus”, refer to the interactive manual supplied with the program.
To connect the trolley to the Ethernet network, remove the special cap closing connection socket RJ
45 (shown by the arrow in the following figure) and insert the connector of the shielded connection
cable.
Connect the trolley’s plug to the electricity mains.
When the trolley is started by pressing ON, the interface board will be initialised, preparing it to
dialogue with the control P.C.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 33 / 67
Each time the connecting cable between the trolley and the Ethernet network is removed, the
connection socket must be closed with the special cover so as to prevent possible washing
operations or the presence of dust to cause the contacts to oxidise.

5.4.9 Automatic functions during black-outs..

The trolley (only the version equipped with an additional battery) can manage automatically brief
lacks of power, choosing different operating modes according to the current kind of cycle (storage
with refrigeration or heating in oven) and according to the duration of the black out.
If the black-out occurs during an oven/fridge cycle, the trolley stores in memory the current cycle
parameters and activates a timer to measure the length of the black-out.
If the black-out lasts less than the maximum allowed time the trolley continues the cycle from the
moment when it was halted. The allowed maximum standard time is programmed by the
manufacturer in agreement with the user. The standard time is 3 minutes.
Otherwise, if the black-out lasts more than the maximum allowed time, any cycle is halted with an
error condition and an error message (see paragraph 5.4.4, error code E10). It is not possible to
continue the trolley operation because the food might have suffered alteration in the meanwhile.
At supervisor’s discretion, the trolley may be reactivated pressing OFF and restarting the cycle that
was halted.
If the black-out occurs during a refrigeration storage cycle (trolley for cold line), the trolley
activates a timer to measure the length of the black-out in the moment when the lack of power
occurs.
If the black-out lasts less than the maximum allowed time, the trolley continues the refrigeration.
The allowed maximum standard time is programmed by the manufacturer in agreement with the
user. The standard time is 10 minutes.
Otherwise, if the black-out lasts more than the maximum allowed time, any cycle is halted with an
error condition and an error message (see paragraph 5.4.4, error code E11).
It is not possible to continue the trolley operation because the food might have suffered alteration in
the meanwhile.
At supervisor’s discretion, the trolley may be reactivated pressing OFF and ON in sequence.

5.5 Programming the trolley parameters.

As mentioned before, the trolley works according to the instruction given by the firmware stored in
the microprocessor that manages the system.
The software employs modifiable parameters that define the features of the thermal cycles carried
out by the trolley (e.g. maximum oven temperature, total cycle time, fridge set temperature, etc.).
Some parameters can be modified by the Super User (through a password) in order to adjust them to
better suit to the user’s requirements.
The manufacturer deliveries the trolley equipped with standard values, suitable for most cases.
In the start-up phase, the technical personnel of the Manufacturer cooperates with the customer’s
technicians in order to adjust the features of the trolley to better suit to the user’s requirements,
Nevertheless, in order to keep the system as adaptable as possible, following the instruction given in
this paragraph the Super User can modify the above mentioned parameters at will.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 34 / 67
5.5.1 Password for the programming mode.

There are two ways to access the menu that lets you change the cycle parameters: a simple standard
method and another more complex method that can be set specifically upon request by the
manufacturer’s Customer Service.
To enter the cycle parameters modification mode, it is necessary to press in the right sequence few
keys that normally are employed for different purposes, as previously described
In this way, the personnel not authorized will not enter this programming menu, by chance or by
will.
The Super User should not make available the information given in this paragraph; the
programming activity should be kept confidential.
To enter the programming mode follow this procedure:

 Connect the plug to the power supply and press the button ON.
 Wait for the test (described previously) to run entirely, until D1 displays the fridge and oven
temperatures.
 Press ON for few seconds, and while keeping it pressed, at the same time press once the cycle 1
key.
 Release the ON button.
 D1 displays now the letter “A” followed by a number such as 20, D2 displays “01”.
The procedure succeeded.

The programming access procedure in a more complex and less intuitive way, designed to prevent
access by unauthorized personnel who, using the standard method, could more easily guess the
access sequence to parameters that are not of his/her competence, is as follows:

 Connect the trolley to the power socket and press the ON key.
 Wait for completion of the previously described operating test until the fridge and oven
temperatures are displayed in D1.
 Keep the ON key pressed and simultaneously press keys 1, then 3, then 2 in quick
succession.
 Release the ON key.
 D1 displays “A” followed by a numeric value e.g. “20”, D2 displays “01”.

The programming access procedure has been successful.

5.5.2 Keys special function in programming mode.

In programming mode, the keys ON, 1 , 2 , 3 have different functions (not the functions described
in the previous paragraphs). In order to better understand them, a foreword about the programming
menu is needed.

The programming menus are structured on two levels:

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 35 / 67
The first level describes the family of data, ordered according to a logic linked to the trolley
function (e.g. family A for the data belonging to the cycle 1, B for the cycle 2, an so on).
The second level defines the set of data (in sequence) belonging to a family. For instance:
family A
sequence 01 = partial time cycle 1,
sequence 02 = reference temperature for the time interval defined by the sequence 01,
and so on.

The keys and display in programming mode have the following functions:

Key 1 Navigation in the first level. At each pressure of this key the next family is selected.
After the last family, the first one is selected again.

Key 2 Navigation in the second level. At each pressure of this key it is selected the next
sequence in same family (selected with previous key). After the last sequence, the
fist one is selected again

Key 3 At each pressure of this key the value of the selected parameter (by means of the key
2) is incremented by 1 unit. Keeping the key 3 pressed continuously, the rising step
increases 10 times. After the end scale value, the value begins again form 1.

Key ON Press ON to quit the programming mode. The normal working mode is selected
again.

D1 It displays on the left side a letter indicating the family, followed by the parameter
contained in the active sequence.

D2 It displays the active data sequence.

5.5.3 Modification of standard parameters.

In order to replace standard parameters with other parameters, the super user must know the
underlying logical function of the trolley, and the firmware adaptability.
Such a deep knowledge can be achieved through field experiences on practical operations; this
paragraph will only define the basics, as an auxiliary help to the teaching activity carried out by the
technicians of the Manufacturer at the plant start up.

The parameters modifiable by the super-user are:

 “A” Family. Related to the thermal cycle 1 (hot cycle). It includes a time/temperature data table,
up to 10 pairs defined in 20 sequences of values. The program reads the data in the following
logical sequence: the first parameter (sequence 01) is the partial time (in minutes) during which
the temperature set by the next parameter (sequence 02) is activated. The thirds parameter
(sequence 03) is another partial time (in minutes) during which the temperature set by the next
parameter (sequence 04) is activated , and so on.

The program runs in sequence all the time/temperature pairs available. When a time “00” is found,
the sequence is terminated. The resulting cycle will be active for a total time given by the sum of all

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 36 / 67
the partial times in the table (max allowed 99 minutes) and the temperature will vary according to
the data defined in the table.
Therefore, there are no limitation to the complexity of the cycle which can be set by the user, and it
is also possible to set very simple cycles defined by just one time/temperature pair. In such case it is
enough to add “00” in the sequence 03, as an end-of-cycle tag.
The standard values defined by the manufacturer for the family “A” are: 20 minutes sequence 01,
120°C sequence 02, “00” sequence 03. The resulting cycle is: heating for 20 minutes up to 120°C.

 “B” Family. Related to the thermal cycle 2 (hot cycle). It has the same features of the “A”
family described above. The standard values defined by the manufacturer for the family “C”
are: 20 minutes sequence 01, 110°C sequence 02, “00” sequence 03. The resulting cycle is:
heating for 20 minutes up to 110°C.

 “C” Family. Related to the thermal cycle 3 (hot cycle). It has the same features of the “A”
family described above. The standard values defined by the manufacturer for the family “C”
are: 60 minutes sequence 01, 80°C sequence 02, “00” sequence 03. The resulting cycle is:
heating for 60 minutes up to 80°C. This cycle is suitable for storing the food at the given
temperature when the distribution is delayed.

 “A.” Family. Relative to thermal cycle 4 (cold cycle) covers a table of terns with
time/temperature values cold side/temperature hot side up to a maximum of 6 defined in 18
value sequences.The program interprets the chart data with the same logic of hot cycles using
triplets instead to replace pairs so that the temperatures from the fridge and oven side can be
handled separately. The default values are set at zero.

 “B.” Family. For thermal cycle 5 (cold cycle), has the same characteristics as "A” Family.
The default values are set at zero.

 “C.” Family. For thermal cycle 6 (cold cycle), has the same characteristics as "A” Family.
The default values are set at zero.

 “D” Family. It is comprised of a single data and a single sequence which represents the
reference set for refrigeration in the refrigerator area. The minimum allowed value is 0 °C; the
maximum is 40°C. The standard value defined by the Manufacturer is 01°C temperature single
sequence 01. Resulting fridge cycle = temperature is maintained at 1°C while the trolley is ON
with no cold cycle in progress (start up of one of cycles 4-5-6 disables this parameter up to the
end of the cycle).

 “E” Family. It includes one single parameter and one sequence, which represent the
reference set for oven refrigeration (for those trolleys equipped with such function). The
minimum allowed value is 0°C, maximum 40°C. The standard values defined by the
manufacturer for the family “E” are: 01°C sequence (unique) 01. The resulting refrigerating
cycle is: storing at 1°C while the trolley is ON, when no heating is started. When starting one of
cycles 1-2-3 the refrigeration ceases.

 “F” Family. It includes one single parameter and one sequence, which represent the time
in minutes while the battery is employed to supply the display, in order to display the
temperatures while the trolley is moved. The standard value defined by the manufacturer for the
family “F” is: 60 minutes of battery activation, unique sequence 01. The minimum allowed
value is zero, the maximum 120 minutes.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 37 / 67
 “H” Family. It includes one single parameter and one single sequence, useful to activate or
deactivate the oven refrigeration (for those trolleys equipped with such function). If the trolley
is not equipped with such function, it must be deactivated. The standard value defined by the
manufacturer for the family “H” is: 00, unique sequence 01. Only two values can be defined:
“00”: oven refrigeration deactivated
“01” oven refrigeration activated (only for trolleys equipped with this function).

 “L” Family. It includes one single parameter and one single sequence, which represents
the trolley and department identification numbers. The standard value defined by the
manufacturer for the family “L” is 00 unique sequence 01. Values from 00 to 999 can be set.
It is mandatory to identify the trolley and the department, when the trolley is equipped with data
logger to certify the quality of the service in the department. Of course, any change in the trolley
destination must be followed by a modification of the identification number.

 “P” Family. Related to the synchronization of the trolley’s clock. It includes 7 sequences:
Year (seq. 01 values 0 to 99), Month (seq. 02, values 1 to 12), Day (seq. 03, values 1-31), Time
(seq. 04, values 0 to 23), Minutes (seq.05, values 0 to 59), Seconds (seq. 06, values 0 to 59), day
of the week (seq. 07, values from 1 to 7. NB: 1= Sunday )

 “U” Family. Entry table for weekly planning of delayed starts, including 84 sequences of
data for max 21 planned starts: sequence 01 time for first start, 02 minutes for first start, 03

cycle for second start, 08 day for planned second start, 09 time for third start and so on.

 “° “ Family. Completed oven cycle counter. The number shows the total cycles completed
by the trolley, including any ending with error messages, but not including those cycles
interrupted when the OFF key is used.

 Family . Completed drying cycles. Not controlled.

 Family. Disabling of cycle keys 1-2-3. This includes a single datum and allows for
disabling of cycle keys 1-2-3 if the trolley is controlled by an online Personal Computer, but
does not allow for manual cycle starts. Value 0=keys 1-2-3 enabled, value 1=keys 1-2-3
disabled (only for cycle starts; other functions remain operative).

 “h” Family. IP address programming. The menu allows for programming of the trolley's
IP address for use in the company ETHERNET. This address always consists of four numbers,
the last number (sequence 01) consists of a single digit (default 1), the third number (sequence
02) of 2 digits (default 66), the second number (sequence 03) of two digits (default 19) and the
first number (sequence 04) of 3 digits (default 176).

 “y” Family. Relative to programming the SUBNET.MASK parameter of the trolley for
use in the company ETHERNET network. The complete address consists of four numbers, the
last number (sequence 01) consists of a single figure (default 0), the third number (sequence 02)
consists of 1 figure (default 0), the second number (sequence 03) consists of three figures
(default 255), the first number (sequence 04) consists of 3 figures (default 255). The complete
default parameter is 255.255.0.0.

 “a” Family. Relative to programming the GATEWAY parameter of the trolley for use in
the company ETHERNET network. The complete address consists of four numbers, the last
number (sequence 01) consists of a single figure (default 1), the third number (sequence 02)
consists of 1 figure (default 1), the second number (sequence 03) consists of 1 figure (default 1),

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 38 / 67
the first number (sequence 04) consists of 3 figures (default 172). The complete default
parameter is 172.1.1.1.

 Family . For programming the time-out (in minutes) for the refrigerator unit to lower
the air temperature in the fridge and/or oven area to the set temperature. If the set temperature
for refrigeration in the fridge area is not reached within the time set in this parameter, the trolley
signals error E12. Set the time as “0” to disable this control.

After that the description of the parameters modifiable by the super-user was given above,
suppose for instance that we want to modify the cycle 2. We can do as follows:
 Enter the programming mode, by pushing for few seconds the button ON and, at the same time,
pushing for few seconds the key 1. D1 will show A 20 (family “A”, related to the parameters of
the cycle 1, sequence 01 =20 minutes). D2 will show 01 (sequence 01) .
 Press once the key 1 to see the B family, related to cycle 2
 Press again and again the key 2 to “navigate “ inside the B family, increasing the value of the
sequence in order to display the stored data. Since they are standard data, D1 and D2 display
them as: b 20 01. Press the key 2. The display will be: b 110 02. Press again the key 2. the
display will be: b 00 03 showing the end of the standard cycle 2 table.
Press again the key 2 in order to return to the sequence 01.
 The modification to the cycle 2 is to add one time/temperature pair, in order to extend the cycle
for 5 minutes at 80°C:
 Press the key 2 until the sequence 03 is found.
 Press the key 3, increasing the value from “00” to “05”.
 Press the key 2 in order to pass to the sequence 04. This operation is necessary to confirm the
parameter modification.
 Press the key 3 in order to increase the value from “00” to “80”.
 Press the key 2 in order to pass to the sequence 05. This operation is necessary to confirm the
parameter modification.
 The value of the sequence 05 is “00”. Since no other time/temperature pairs are required,
proceed to confirm the value “00”, pushing once again the key 2. The system acknowledges the
value “00” as the end of the table, and displays again the sequence “01”.
 Press the key ON in order to exit the programming mode.

The cycle 2 will now be: 20 minutes heating up to 110°C, plus 5 minutes at the constant
temperature of 80°C. The temperature will change slowly, the trolley will heat only if the
temperature descents below 80°C. For the time left (5 min) the ventilation inside the oven
continues, in order to keep the temperature uniform and avoiding to stress the food with too high
temperatures.

This instance shows not only how to proceed step by step to modify a cycle, but also how the
trolley adaptability can be employed to improve the quality of the service.
The same procedure can be employed in order to modify the parameters in all the other families,
with the only difference that for the families with a single sequence of data, the key 2 must be
pressed in order to store the values in memory, but there is no increasing of the sequence (since
there only one sequence in the family).
Remember: to decrease the value of a parameter it is necessary to increase it to the full scale and
then increase it again in order to restart from zero (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …)

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 39 / 67
5.5.4 Clock settings (optional).

Available as an option together with the data logger. The trolley is equipped with an internal clock
which keeps counting year, month, day, time even when it is not in operation.
It is necessary nevertheless an initial setting to put the clock in sync with the current date and time.

Important: always set solar time; the date that the clocks go forward (summer time) and vice-
versa is automatically controlled by the trolley software.

Enter the menu of the programmable parameters (family “P”) by means of the procedure described
above (and the password).

- In the first pair of parameters (sequence 01) set the current year (“00” when the year is 2000) by
pressing key 3 to set the right value, increasing the figure from 0 to 99.
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 02 (current Month).
Press the key 3 to set the right value, increasing the figure from 1 to 12.
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 03 (current Day).
Press the key 3 to set the right value, increasing the figure from 1 to 31.
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 04 (current Time of the day).
Press the key 3 to set the right value, increasing the figure from 0 to 23.
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 05 (current Minutes).
Press the key 3 to set the right value, increasing the figure from 0 to 59.
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory
- Pass to the sequence 06 (current Seconds).
Press the key 3 to set the right value and then save this by pressing key 2.
Press key 2 to save the entered value and then go to sequence 07 for the current day of the week
(1=Sunday, 2= Monday, etc…)
Press key 3 to enter the correct value and then save this by pressing key 2.

Exit the programming mode (Press key ON) and check that the clock is set correctly, repeating the
start of the trolley.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 40 / 67
5.5.5 Delayed start-up programming (COOK & CHILL only).

This function lets you programme max 21 delayed cycle starts in one week, with max 3 different
starts for each day of the week. For instance, you can program cycle 1 for Sunday lunch, cycle 2 for
Monday lunch and so on for the other days of the week, for max flexibility of choice in preparing
the menus for each meal.

In order to set the times of the delayed starts, enter (by means of the password) the programming
menu (family “U”).

Press the key 3, and increase the value in the sequence 01 until the time scheduled for the first start
is reached.
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 02.
Press the key 3, and set the minutes scheduled for the first start .
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 03.
Press the key 3, and set the number of the thermal cycle scheduled for the first start .
Press the key 2 to store the value in memory.
- Pass to the sequence 04.

Use key 3 to enter the value for the day of the week you want for the cycle (Sunday = 1); save with
key 2. If you leave the value of the day as 0, the trolley will repeat the cycle for all days of the week
(a useful function for repetitive cycles).

Setting the value “0” as the cycle number will deactivate the scheduled start, without clearing them
from the table stored in memory.

In order to schedule other automatic starts, continue with the same procedure, setting time of the
day, minutes, cycle number of any desired start, and the day for each automatic start required, up to
max 21 weekly starts.

When the programming phase is done, exit the programming mode by pressing key ON.

Arrange the trolley for the automatic start: connect its plug to a socket, press ON. The trolley will
recognize the closer automatic starting operation; it displays the scheduled time and cycle
(alternating this display with the temperature display).

Caution: when any cycle is running, the trolley will ignore any scheduled start if it overlaps with the
current cycle.

To manually cancel the programmed automatic starts that the trolley waits to perform the
instant it is started up (the next start in sequence is displayed), press the ON key for at least 3
seconds. This procedure suspends automatic execution of the starts until the trolley is started
up again.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 41 / 67
The procedure to end such a delayed cycle is the same employed to end the cycles started by means
of the manual start (see paragraph 5.4.3).

5.5.6 Checking the new parameters.

Especially in those cases when many trolley are employed at the same time, it is strongly suggested
testing the parameters of a newly set cycle on a single trolley, before to actually employ them, in
order to avoid to add erroneous programs to all the trolleys.

The safer and most effective way to test modified parameters is to field test the trolley, activating all
the functions which were subject to modification (in the previous example , the cycle 2).

The trolley will carry out automatically the compatibility test of the new parameters. If no errors are
detected, the new parameters are compatible. Nevertheless, it is still left to check that the needs that
originate the modifications are actually satisfied by the new cycle. If this conditions is verified, it
will be possible to apply the new cycle for all the trolleys.

5.6 Using the towing device

Optional towing devices allow the coupling of shuttles up to a maximum of 4, through the use of a
tractor at a crawl speed (3 – 3,5 Kmph).

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 42 / 67
The aforementioned device is fixed at the bottom of the trolley and consists of a flat swinging bar
with a hole at the end on one side and a vertical pin on the other.
In the rest position the swinging bar is next to the control panel in a vertical position with the hole at
the top and the hinge at the bottom.

The vertical pin is on the lower part of the trolley underneath the rubber buffer on the side opposite
the swinging bar. Near the pin, hanging from a chain, is a safety spring to assure the coupling of the
following trolley’s bar to the pin of the trolley in front.
To tow a trolley, lower the swinging bar, approach the trolley to the tractor’s towing “bell” and put
the hole in the bar into the tractor’s tow pin.
Tow the trolley ensuring that there is enough space for manoeuvring, that the route has suitable
flooring without roughness or excessive slopes and, above all, that the aforementioned route is
dedicated exclusively to towing the trolley without people or things along it who could get injured
or damaged.

To add other trolleys to the first one already coupled, up to a maximum of 4, lower the swinging bar
of the second trolley and approach it to the vertical pin, ensuring that the pin itself is centred and
enters the hole in the bar. The bar’s return spring will lift it up to the stop striker plate in the pin
itself which will cross the bar protruding downwards for a few centimetres.
An automatic holding system prevents the bar from accidentally slipping out of the pin; to release
the bar, press the lever in the points indicated in the illustration and slip the pin out, tipping the bar
downward.

Repeat the operation for the following trolleys.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 43 / 67
5.7 Using service trolleys and transfer of removable racks.

In special situations, increasing frequent to be truthful, the regeneration trolley is not used for
transporting trays with the meals, but remains directly in the department.
The trays with the meals are transported with the help of the so-called service trolleys that travel by
lorry from a kitchen that is often decentralised from the hospital, to the departments.

In this case the trays are placed in special cage structures called “racks” that, due to their specific
shape and size can be easily moved from the service trolley to inside the chamber of the
regeneration trolley, shifting the whole load of a trolley with a single operation.
The two preceding figures show Unitray and shuttle on the right and Unitray with Jolly trolley and
removable rack on the left.
The Unitray trolley provided for this use (optional) has two centring wheels in the lower part
intended to guide the service trolleys to the correct position for transferring the rack.

The trolley is pushed or pulled between the service trolley and the Unitray and vice versa using an
extractable handle that allows the manoeuvre to be carried out having to get into uncomfortable
positions and without the risk of burns (the handle is located on the cold side).

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 44 / 67
To help the operator to load the trays in the rack the right way round, the part of the rack that enters
the cold side of the trolley has components coloured blue, while the part of the rack that enters the
hot part of the trolley has components coloured red.

Proceed as follows to transfer the rack from the service trolley to the Unitray:

 Open the doors on the left side of the Unitray and lock them in the open position using the
special door clamps.
 Open both doors of the shuttle and lock them in the open position with the special door clamps
(instruction only valid for shuttles).
 Approach the service trolley to the Unitray centring the buffer base inside the two reference
wheels described previously.
 Rest the service trolley on the Unitray taking care that the two trolleys are in a parallel position.
 Apply the wheel locking brakes of the service trolley used.
 Fully pull out the rack handle and then turn it anticlockwise through 90°.
 Unlock the rack from the special restraint bracket either by lifting it or pressing the pedal
depending on whether it is the shuttle or the Jolly trolley respectively.
 Push the rack from the service trolley to the Unitray gripping the handle until the whole
structure of the rack is fully housed inside the Unitray.
 Check that the red coloured parts of the rack are correctly in the hot part of the Unitray.
 Take the brakes off and move the service trolley away from the Unitray.
 Turn the rack handle clockwise through 90° and push it back so that it does not protrude from
the structure of the rack.
 Close the doors of the Unitray.

Proceed as follows to transfer the rack from the Unitray to the service trolley:

 Open the doors on the left side of the Unitray and lock them in the open position using the
special door clamps.
 Extract the rack handle and turn it anticlockwise through 90°.
 Open both doors of the shuttle and lock them in the open position with the special door clamps
(instruction only valid for shuttles).
 Approach the service trolley to the Unitray centring the buffer base inside the two reference
wheels described previously.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 45 / 67
 Rest the service trolley on the Unitray taking care that the two trolleys are in a parallel position.
 Apply the wheel locking brakes of the service trolley used.
 Use the handle to pull the rack from the Unitray to the service trolley so that the correctly
positioned rack is firmly held by the rack restraint bracket.
 Turn the rack handle clockwise through 90° and push it back in so that it does not protrude from
the structure of the rack.
 Take off the brakes and move the service trolley away from the Unitray.
 Close the doors of the service trolley.

5.8 Motorised Unitray: battery use and charging method.

Motorisation of the Unitray trolley is an option devised to facilitate transferring the trolley over
particularly long routes or where there are sloping ramps.
The option consists of a self-powered traction device using batteries complete with control console
with progressive manual accelerator for forward and backward running.

Overall view of the Unitray trolley with motorisation.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 46 / 67
Detailed view of the control console.

The motorised Unitray trolley climbs slopes of up to 10%, compatibly with the adherence properties
of the ramp, easily and without any effort for the operator.
Maximum speed fully loaded on the level is:
2 Km/h for standard forward running (button switch 12 off),
1 Km/h for standard backward running,
3.5 Km/h for Overdrive forward running (switch 12 activated and red light ON),
2 Km/h for Overdrive backward running.
N.B.: the Overdrive speed is only intended for straight sections of significant length, with a
passage corridor width of more than three metres wide and above all along routes exclusively
dedicated to the transit of service trolleys and forbidden to unauthorised personnel or visitors
or patients.

Turn key switch (6) to the “I” position to power up the traction device.
Green LED (4) on continuously shows the presence of power and correct operation of the device.
Possible blinking of the green LED shows an operating fault that requires technical assistance.
Charge indicator (5) shows the charge level of the batteries with a small luminous vertical bar; the
bar on the extreme right shows maximum charge, the intermediate bars between those on the
extreme right and extreme left show intermediate battery charges between maximum and minimum.
When the bar on the extreme left lights up and blinks intermittently, the trolley can only
move to go to the charging station.
Grip handles (2) with both hands in such a position as to be able to rotate the accelerator rollers (1)
with the thumbs. When the accelerator is turned forward the trolley moves in a forward direction
with respect to the operator and, vice versa, when the accelerator is turned backward, the trolley
moves in the opposite direction.
The rotation of the accelerator determines the trolley speed in the selected direction. The operator
therefore has complete control of the trolley, having the possibility of going at the required speed by
appropriately dosing the stroke of the accelerator with regard to the route, type of floor and
presence of obstacles. The maximum speed of 2 Km/h for standard forward running and 1 Km/h for
standard backward running is a safety restriction that cannot be changed.
Press button 12 to run at Overdrive speed in both directions but only in compliance with the safety
conditions described above in bold.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 47 / 67
The red indicator light included in the button signals the condition of greatest risk for the operator
and possible people met along the route.
Releasing the accelerator causes the trolley to stop in distances of between 0.3 metres and 0.5
metres depending on speed and load.
In cases of emergency or malfunction press safety stop mushroom button (3) to cut off power to the
traction device and halt it. Should the operator inadvertently be between an obstacle and the trolley,
the stop mushroom button, in a protruding position, will cut in by itself as soon as the trolley makes
contact with the operator.
To recharge the batteries connect the trolley to the power supply (the same one as is used for
running the thermal cycles) but not before having set key (6) to OFF “0” and removed it from
the switch, start the trolley by pressing the ON key, keep ON pressed and press key 3 once at the
same time, then release the ON key.
The battery charging procedure interrupts all other trolley functions (refrigeration, etc.) and starts
up a 12-hour backward timer that, as well as confirming that actuation has taken place, gives the
operator an indication of the residual charging time. The automatic interruption of battery
recharging when the maximum level is reached does not stop the times, which will only cut out
when 12 hours have elapsed. Do not charge the batteries only partially, wait for the charging time to
elapse (Timer = 0). Making a partial charge shortens the life of the batteries.
If, for any reason, a malfunction occurs in the traction device that prevents if from being used and it
is absolutely necessary to reach the destination in a department or to return to the repair shop the
motor brake can be disengaged mechanically using uncoupling knob (7) as follows:
gently pull the knob (about 2 cm) so that it can be moved to the right into its housing.
The knob cannot return when it is positioned to the right, thus ensuring manual mechanical
unlocking of the motor brake.
Normal use conditions are restored by gently pulling the knob so that it can be moved to the left
into the housing with the larger diameter and releasing the knob that, on its return, allows the
mechanical brake to be reengaged.
When the brake is unlocked the Unitray trolley can be moved, even with greater effort, by pushing
it manually.

5.8.1 Motorised Unitrays: special recommendations

The limited visibility when moving forward causes a serious risk to the operator of running down
people or objects which could be in the way along the route. Forward running should only be used
along straight routes with adequate manoeuvring spaces that allow the operator to walk alongside
the trolley operating the accelerator with only one hand and having a clear view of the route to be
covered.

Backward running ensures a better view to the operator but exposes him/her to the risk of crushed
feet or, even worse, fractured tibias in the case of collision with the trolley’s lower bumpers.
Reverse gear should only be used for handling needs at very reduced speeds.

Before the trolley is connected to the power socket for running the normal thermal cycles or for
recharging the batteries the operator responsible for the trolley must turn key switch 6 to OFF
“0” and remove the key to prevent traction to be started incorrectly with the plug connected.
When the plug is connected and power is on use of the traction device is prevented automatically,
even if the key is left in the horizontal position.
It must be noted that traction prevention only takes place when there is power at the socket, on the
contrary, if the plug is connected but the socket switch is set to OFF there is no automatic

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 48 / 67
prevention of traction and it is possible that a trolley possibly left unattended with the key in and set
to ON “I” could be improperly used by outsiders and traction could be started which could damage
the power cable and wall socket. The obligation of never leaving the trolley unattended with the key
inserted is an indispensable condition to ensure that only authorised operators can access and use it.

The Manufacturer , on request, organises user training courses for purchasers of the motorised
Unitray trolley, with the issue of a rating certificate, for the purpose of providing clients with a
service to improve safety conditions when using its products.
In any case, operator training is an obligation of the purchaser and is an indispensable condition that
does not relieve the user from his responsibilities as regards evaluation of the ambient conditions of
the routes (presence of obstacles, people, wet or rough floors, winding routes, limited manoeuvring
space, etc.) and the efficient condition of the trolley.
As the driving schools or the bodies who issue the driving licence cannot be held responsible for
road accidents, the manufacturer cannot be charged with any responsibility for the actions of
the users, even if they hold a rating certificate.

6.1 Meaning of “maintenance condition”.

All the maintenance operations, repairs, cleaning on the trolley must be carried out in the best safety
conditions, according to the safety regulations.

In order to satisfy such requirements, it is absolutely necessary to put the trolley under
“maintenance condition”, assuring that:

 The operation area where the trolley is located must be suitable for the kind of the scheduled
operation.
 Only the authorized personnel may access to the area surrounding the trolley.
 The power supply cable must be unplugged from the socket.
 All the parts of the trolley must be at room temperature.
 There are no parts in motion (fans, motor or other)
 The wheel brakes must be activated.

6. 2 Generic, qualified and authorized personnel.

General personnel, without any special qualifications, may clean and check the trolley, provided
they are instructed and trained for that which is their responsibility, observe the instructions in this
manual and uphold the rule of being “prepared for maintenance”.

Preventive maintenance operations require the skills of qualified personnel, having technical
knowledge regarding the mechanics of the trolley, its electrical part and refrigerator’s components.
A few routine maintenance operations (such as filling the refrigerating fluid) must be carried out
only by personnel authorized by the manufacturer, at least during the warranty period.

During the warranty period, only the Manufacturer’s technicians or personnel authorized by the
same may carry out any necessary repairs and replacements; repairs and replacements carried out by
unauthorized individuals automatically render the warranty null and void.

6. 3 Routine maintenance and periodical controls.

Routine and preventive maintenance operations suggested by the manufacturer keeping the trolley
in good working conditions are listed in the followings, including their instruction.

Preventive maintenance, even if it is a valid instrument for accident prevention, will not exempt the
user from its responsibility to evaluate the trolley efficiency and safety conditions before using it, in
order to avoid the risk of injuries or damages.

6.3.1 Power supply cable, cable holder and plug: functional check and replacing operation.

Safety checks to be performed monthly by general personnel

 The cable must not be bruised, cut, stretched. No copper wire must be visible.
 The cable must be firmly hold to the trolley through the cable holder, the cable must not slide
through it when pulling.
 The power supply plug must be firmly hold to the cable by means of its cable holder; the cable
must not slide when pulling .
 The plastic housing of the plug must not be bruised or broken. The pins must be aligned and
firmly hold in the plug. If one of the pins sticks out more than the others the plug cannot be
used.

If the above conditions are not met, the element must always be replaced by the Manufacturer
or by authorised and qualified personnel to avoid all risks.

Replacing the three-phase electric plug:

 Open the plug, pushing with a screwdriver on the closing flap located on the side of the external
body. At the same time rotate the two bodies in opposite directions.
 Release the cable holder and rotate it 90° with respect to the plug’s longitudinal axis, in order to
release the cable completely.
 Unscrew the pin’s clamps and remove the cable terminal from the pins.
 Remove from the cable the part of the plug body which is left.
 Open the two parts of the new plug and insert the cable terminals of the new plug, and insert the
cable terminals in the cable holder located at the end of the grey plug body, in such a way that at
least 150 millimetres of the cable stick out from the other end.
 Rotate the cable holder of the red plug body by 90° with respect to the plug’s longitudinal axis,
in order to not clutter the connecting clamps.
 Insert the terminal of the blue cable in the clamp marked with the letter N; close it.
 Insert the terminal of the brown cable in the clamp marked with the letter L1; close it.
 Insert the terminal of the black cable in the clamp marked with the letter L2; close it.
 Insert the terminal of the other black cable in the clamp marked with the letter L3; close it.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 52 / 67
 Insert the terminal of the green-yellow ground cable in the clamp marked with the letter G and
the Ground symbol; close it.
 Rotate again the cable holder of the plug body by 90° with respect to the plug’s longitudinal
axis and close it, making sure that at least 15-20 mm of the cable insulation is clamped inside,
and that the cable doesn’t slide in the cable holder when pulling it.
 Bring the white part of the plug near the red part, making it slide on the cable until the
connections meet.
 Rotate the white part on the red part in order to engage it completely, until the metallic
connecting flap snaps into position.
 Check that the two bodies of the plug are locked together and they can’t rotate and detach
without using the metallic connecting flap.

Replacing the single-phase plug.

Follow exactly the same procedure described for the three-phase, with the only difference that the
body (which is red in the three-phase) is now blue, and the cable terminals in the single-phase plug
are only 3 instead of 5.

The cable terminal connections in the single-phase plug are:

 Brown or black cable terminal in the clamp marked with the letter L /+
 Yellow-green ground cable terminal in the clamp marked with the letter G and the Ground
symbol.
 Blue cable terminal in the clamp which is left, marked with the letter N (or no letter at all).

Replacing the three-phase cable.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s
customer service network or a qualified technician to avoid all risks.

The power supply cable delivered by the Manufacturer as a spare part is delivered ready to be
assembled on the trolley, in the correct length. The cable terminals come already with their
insulation removed, and equipped with pins.

Seeing the specific nature of the cable used (Acatel Cavi: TITANEX H07RN-F 5G2.5 HAR) and
the relative difficulty on obtaining it retail, we recommend the purchaser buying the section of
cable, already prepared, directly from the Manufacturer (see exploded drawings for the code). If it is
considered required to buy the cable in a skein directly on the market, due care must be taken to
reproduce the length dimensions and terminal characteristics of the old cable to be replaced, which
must be kept as a sample. In order to replace the power supply cable it necessary to open the control
panel first, and remove the upper plastic cover.

How to proceed in order to open and remove the control panel:

 Remove the right pushing handle, unscrewing first the screws which links the handle to the
pivoting wheels supporting plate these screws are located in the lower part of the trolley.
Unscrew (by hand) the pushing handle from the upper connection, taking care (while
unscrewing) to put the low part of the handle outside the lower rubber bumper profile.
 Remove the left pushing handle in the same way.
 Unscrew the control panel’s six fastening screws (by means of the proper tool).

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 53 / 67
 Bring the control panel close to the left side of the trolley, freeing the electric circuit box. Pay
attention at not stretch the cables which connect the control panel to the electrical box. If
necessary disconnect the cable from the electronic board.

How to open the cover:

 Open the four doors of the trolley, and keep them opening by means of the door holders.
 With a screwdriver remove the six anchoring screws located lengthwise along the sides of the
cover. The cup head screws pass through the cover in vertical direction, and are linked to a
threaded bush located in the lower side of the steel structure holding the cover. Unscrew them
from below, acting on the bushes.
 Close the four doors.
 Remove the two cover anchoring screws located on every head, following the above mentioned
procedures.
 At the time, lift the cover vertically, avoiding removing also the metallic support junction
gasket.

Now replace the power supply cable proceeding as follows:

Three-phase cable:
 Unlock the trolley cable holder ring nut located near the right handle upper anchoring position,
so that the cable can be moved.
 Remove the plug from the cable to replace, following the instruction given above.
 Unstrung the cable terminals, unscrewing their clamps in the sectioning switch fuse holder
located in upper part of the electric box.
 Unstrung the yellow-green ground cable terminal, unscrewing the yellow-green clamps located
above the sectioning switch fuse holder.
 Unstrung the blue cable terminal (neutral), unscrewing the blue clamps located above the
sectioning switch fuse holder.
 Remove any plastic cable holding strip, if present.
 Unstrung the power supply cable by pulling it from the above through the rubber cable holder
located in upper part of the electric box, and than from below through the cable holder which
was previously unlocked.
 Remove the insulation from the new cable and apply the pins exactly as in the cable which was
kept as a sample (or else use the spare cable, which comes ready to install).
 Apply the plug from the right side, following the instruction given in the previous paragraph,
 Insert the other cable terminal through the cable holder and through the rubber one, following
the same path as in the original cable.
 Close the cable holder. The cable must come out for such length that the plug comes close to the
upper part of the lower bumper without touching it.
 Check that the cable holder is tight. The cable must not slip pulling it with a force of 100 N.
 Lock the blue cable terminal in the blue clamp located above the sectioning switch fuse holder,
marked with the N letter (on a label positioned near the clamp).
 Lock the yellow-green ground cable terminal in the yellow-green clamp located above the
sectioning switch fuse holder and market with a G letter (on a label positioned near the clamp).
 Lock the brown cable terminal in the clamp located above the sectioning switch fuse holder and
market L1 (on a label positioned near the clamp).
 Lock one of the black cable terminals in the clamp located above the sectioning switch fuse
holder and market L2 (on a label positioned near the clamp).
 Lock the other black cable terminal in the clamp located above the sectioning switch fuse holder

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 54 / 67
 Assemble the cover, the control panel and the handle, following in reversed order the procedure
given to disassembly it, screwing instead of unscrewing where necessary

Single-phase cable.

Follow the same procedure given for the three-phase cable. The connections are:

 Lock the blue cable terminal in the blue clamp located above the sectioning switch fuse holder,
marked with the N letter (on a label positioned near the clamp).
 Lock the yellow-green ground cable terminal in the yellow-green clamp located above the
sectioning switch fuse holder and market with a G letter (on a label positioned near the clamp).
 Lock the brown cable terminal in the clamp located above the sectioning switch fuse holder and
market L1 (on a label positioned near the clamp).

Replacing the cable holder.

Replacing the cable holder is necessary when part of it is worn or broken.


The wear of the cable holder becomes visible when the cable is not held anymore if pulled, even if
the cable holder is duly locked.
In order to replace the cable holder, do as follows:

 Remove the control panel as explained before.


 Remove the upper cover.
 Remove the cable from the connections as explained before.
 Remove the cable from the cable holder, after loosening it.
 With an open end wrench, unscrew the cable holder locking nut located lengthwise with respect
to the cable holder, above the trolley steel upper plate.
 Remove the cable holder from its housing bore.
 Position the new cable holder and repeat in reversed order the procedure given for the
assembling.

6.3.2 Control panel and keyboard: functional check and replacing operation.

Safety check, to be carried out every three months by general personnel:

 The control panel must be firmly secured to the trolley. All the six fastening screws must be
evenly closed. The heads of the screws must not stick out from the control panel external
profile.
 Check that the sealing gasket doesn’t stick out from its housing (in any position). Looking at the
control panel from the operator side, no part of the sealing gasket should be seen.
 The control panel must not be bruised or broken of any kind. Since it is made of material having
good shock resistance properties, it will be not easily damaged in case of impact. If an impact is
so hard to leave permanent deformations, the control panel must be replaced.
 The control keyboard must not display breaks of any kind. Check that the external membrane
which protect the keys and the keyboard is still in good conditions.
 When pressed, the keys must result firm, easy to operate and without jamming.
 When released, the keys must result firm, easy to operate and without jamming.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 55 / 67
A Manufacturer’s technician or a technician authorised by the same is required to replace the
control panel and the keyboard.

6.3.3 Checking that the doors close.

Safety checks to be performed monthly by general personnel:

 Check the doors overall conditions, with no deformation which may affect their functions.
 When a door is closed, the sealing gasket must be in contact with the full perimeter of the door.
 The doors must close and open smoothly. The locks must work smoothly, as well.
 Check that the nylon bushes on which the doors pivots are plugged, are still in good conditions,
and that the pins have no play (in radial direction).

In case of anomalies, call the Manufacturer’s After-Sales Service or have the damaged or
worn piece replaced by a qualified and authorised technician.

6.3.4 Refrigeration efficiency check.

Functionality checks to be performed monthly by general personnel:

The operation efficiency of the refrigeration plant must be checked on a simple empirical basis. A
deeper check, performed on a technical basis by the Manufacturer or by qualified and authorized
personnel, is necessary only if the first check gives unsatisfactory results.
Proceed as follows:

 With the trolley complete with dividing walls, start the trolley pressing the ON key: After about
40 seconds, the refrigeration system will start to function and the temperature will begin
dropping. Check that the temperature of the cold side reaches the set point within 10 / 15
minutes.

6.3.5 Checking the towing gear (optional) and the wheels.

Functionality checks to be performed monthly by general personnel:

Proceed as follows:

 Check the efficiency of the pivoting wheel brake, activating one brake at time and moving the
trolley alternatively lengthwise and sidewise for few centimetres. The locked wheel must slip
on the floor without rotation around the horizontal axis (lengthwise motion) or around the
vertical axis (support rotation).
 Check also that the wheels roll smoothly. On a short track on a levelled floor the trolley must
run smoothly, without shakes and without excessive effort. If otherwise, check that the wheels
tread is not unevenly worn, due for instance to have towed the trolley with its wheel locked;
check that there are no wires, cloths, or foreign matter wound around the axes of the wheels.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 56 / 67
 Check that the supports of the pivoting wheels rotate freely, by moving the trolley for few
centimetres on the floor in the four directions, pushing on the handles describing a circular path
about half meter wide: The supports must rotate smoothly, without shakes and without
excessive effort.
 When the trolley is equipped with towing gear (optional), check that the towing bar can easily
be moved from the vertical home position to the horizontal working position, applying a force
sufficient to win the returning spring: the rotation of the bar must be smooth and even.
 Check the efficiency of the bar returning spring, moving the bar from the vertical home position
to the horizontal working position, and then holding it gently during the return path (under the
action of the return spring). The spring must be strong enough to return the bar in vertical
position and to maintain it there steadily. Pay attention to follow the bar in the return motion, to
avoid the bar keeping to much speed and kinetic energy, dangerous for the operator.

If the above mentioned conditions are not satisfied, call the Manufacturer’s After Sales
Service to replace the damaged or worn part.

Safety checks to be performed every six months by qualified technicians:

The safety check on the wheels and towing hooks is very important for the operators safety. It
includes:

 Check and restore the tightening of wheels holding nuts.


Restore the wheels and towing hooks tightening, applying a closing torque of 25Nm (2.5Kgm)
by means of a torque (dynamometric) wrench.
If there are nuts very loose, fully unscrew them, apply on the threads an average strength thread
locking product (suggested LOXEAL 53.14) and then screw and tighten them again.
 Check and restore the tightening of the wheels central axis fixing nut.
 Check that the safety split pin and its chain (located near the hooking pin of the towing device)
are complete and in operation.

The above checks are very important for the operator safety and of the personnel that normally (or
by chance) operates in the area, in special way when trolleys with towing device are in operation.

The manufacturer suggests checking every six months. It is up to the user, under his responsibility,
to increase or decrease such frequency, according to the results achieved and to the working
conditions of the trolley.

6.3.6 Motorised group check and maintenance (optional)

Safety checks to be performed with monthly frequency by general personnel:

 Check the correct functioning of the Emergency button.


With the button pressed, the operation of the motorised device must be disabled. With the
button not pressed, the device must operate. (once the button is pressed, turn it clockwise to
return it to the working position).
 Check the correct functioning of the start up key.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 57 / 67
With the key inserted start Green Led signal and possibility of activating the device (compatibly
with the position of the emergency button). With key not inserted or absent, the device must not
be activated.
 Check the correct functioning of the speed change button. Button not pushed (off) reduced
speed Button pushed (on) standard speed
 Check the correct functioning of accelerator. Turning it forward, the trolley must move forward
and turning it backward the trolley must move backward. The trolley remains still with the
accelerator in rest position
 Check correct motor brake functioning. With the device on and the accelerator at rest, pushing
the trolley manually, this must not move. With the trolley moving, releasing the accelerator, the
trolley must stop and remain still.

If the above conditions are not satisfied, contact the Manufacturer’s After-Sales service or an
authorised dealer.

For periodic maintenance and checking the Unitray trolley’s motorised group, contact the
Manufacturer’s After-Sales service or an authorised dealer.

Only qualified personnel with the necessary technical skills and special electronic equipment that
that can be interfaced with the motorisation board management cards can ensure an adequate check
of the efficiency of all the safety devices installed and access the information available in the on-
board memory for possible signals of faults recorded automatically by the diagnostic function.
It is recommended that you stipulate a maintenance and technical assistance contract by contacting
the manufacturer or authorised dealer and to plan checks at six-month intervals.
The manufacturer declines any and all responsibility for possible damage to persons or things,
caused by a malfunction in a Unitray Motorised trolley that has not been kept properly efficient by
qualified personnel.

6.3.7 Intactness check on perimetral buffers

Checks to be performed every three months by general personnel:

 Check that perimetral buffers are intact and have not been damaged where they absorb impact
(damaged corner guards or missing/damaged rubber cushions).

6.4 Cleaning the trolley and its accessories.

In order to assure a quality service in food distribution, the strict hygienic requirements of the
current regulations must always be followed.

Such hygienic requirements are fulfilled only by means of a careful daily cleaning operation on the
trolley.

The following manufacturing criteria are aimed to make the cleaning and the hygienic procedures as
easy as possible:

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 58 / 67
 The door sealing gasket and the tray supports are easy to remove in order to assure an accurate
cleaning in a dish washer or cleaning machine.
 The chambers have smooth walls and rounded corners in order to simplify the cleaning.
 The external surfaces have rounded or crowned shapes in order to simplify the cleaning.
 The materials employed are corrosion resistant.
 The general degree of protection of the trolley (IPX5) allows to clean all of its parts by means of
water jets (not pressurised).
The exception is the Motorised trolley, which cannot be washed with a jet of water.

The cleaning methods and frequency suggested by the manufacturer according to the areas and the
accessories of the trolley are given in the followings.
If using detergents for cleaning, these must be neutral pH and suitable for use on aluminium.

6.4.1 Cleaning with water jet.

The NEW UNITRAY trolley in manufactured with a IPX5 protection grade, and therefore it is
possible to wash all its parts by means of a water jet, provided that the following prescriptions are
be respected:

 The maximum pressure to apply is 21 PSI , minimum distance 0.5 meters, maximum water
temperature 60°C
 The power supply plug must be carefully hooked to its support.
 The closing cover of the optional socket for connecting to the Ethernet network must be
correctly fitted to the socket itself
It is required to carry out washing operations with the following frequency, not strictly
mandatory: it can be modified according to the operating conditions, or to specific health
requirements.
 The upper plastic cover, on a weekly basis
 The plastic control panel, on a weekly basis
 The inside of the refrigerating chamber, on a daily basis
 The inside of the oven chamber, on a daily basis
 The visible part of the lower bumper, seen from the above, on a daily basis
 The external vertical sides of the dispenser, on a weekly basis
 The trays supports on both chambers, on a daily basis
 The dew collecting tank, on a daily basis

Cleaning with water jet may follow a spray application of detergent or disinfectant, but such
products must have a neutral PH and must not be harmful to any part of the dispenser.
In order to avoid unsightly limestone deposits, it is necessary to use sweetened water and clean very
well any wet part with dry cloths or air jets.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 59 / 67
6.4.2 Cleaning with a wet cloth.

Al the visible parts of the trolley can be cleaned with wet cloths, or cloths slightly impregnated with
detergent.
Also, any residual detergent must then be cleaned, not only the dirt.

On the external parts of the trolley, that hardly come in contact with the food, a good aesthetical
result is given by means of micro-fibre pads available on the market under different brand name
(brillo-pad, magic-pad) that does not leave residual water and reach a good cleaning action without
using detergent (always difficult to remove).

6.4.3 Cleaning in a dish washer.

Only the tray supports and the dishes (when supplied) can be cleaned in the dish washer.
Follow the dish washer manufacturer recommendations and limit any use of aggressive detergents,
in special way on the dishes.

7.2 Material recycling and reuse, objectives defined by the regulation and their
implementation.

The totally bolted or riveted structure of the trolley’s supporting bodywork allows it to be
completely dismantled for the recovery and recycling of its components.
The products obtained from dismantling the trolley do not contain heavy metals or prohibited
harmful substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybromurate diphenyls or
polybromurate diphenyl ethers, with the exception of the supplementary batteries for which the
specific regulation applies (Directives 93/86/EEC and 98/101/EEC).

In Italy it is mandatory to keep a waste stock book to track the waste storage and the waste disposal.

1. Dismantle and keep apart the plastic panels from the metallic/electrical parts
2. Fully recover the refrigerating fluid contained in the refrigerating unit. Connect a gas recovery
equipment to the compressor recharging valve and carry out a full recovery of the R134A gas
included in the plant.
3. Connect the oil recovery equipment to the compressor recharging valve and carry out a full
recovery of the oil included in the plant.
4. Recover the oil present in the differential (motorised version only)
5. Disassemble and divide all the metallic parts, all the electrical parts, motors, electrical cables,
compressor and so on.
6. Disassemble and keep apart the parts made of varnished aluminium.
7. Disassemble and keep apart the parts made of AISI 304 .
8. Dismantle and separate the parts in thermoformed plastic

motorisation group power supply battery)
14. Dismantle and separate the electronic boards

The materials in points 1-5-6-7-8-10-12 are 100% recyclable and constitute a percentage greater
than the objectives defined by the regulation of at least 70% of the raw material recovery weight (if
the traction batteries for the Motorised Unitray model, which are subject to a specific regulation, are
excluded from the count).
The batteries must always be removed from the trolley before disposal and eliminated in a safe way.
Furthermore, at the time of removal, ensure that the trolley is disconnected from the mains.

As regards reusing the parts, this is possible after overhaul and replacement of worn parts. Reuse
the following components as overhauled replacement parts:

Buffer base (sandblasted and repainted)

8- SPARE PARTS.

INDEX

8.1 After Sales Service

8.2 Main spare parts.

Instruction Manual Code TMUM01000302 Ver. 0 of 01/03/2014 for NEW UNITRAY 20-24-26-30 Trolleys Pag. 66 / 67
8.1 After Sales Service

It is mandatory to employ original spare parts and to refer to qualified and authorized technicians
in order to maintain the validity of the product warranty and the validity of the EC distinctive
mark.

The structure of the Manufacturer’s After Sales Service, and a suitable spare parts stock assure
fast delivery and short breakdown times.

In order to identify correctly the spare part requested, it is very important to inform the
Manufacturer’s After Sales Service about: the trolley serial number, the model, the trolley code,
and of course a description of the malfunction.

It is suggested to the super-user responsible for the plant operations (in order to avoid urgent repairs
that are not really needed, and breakdowns due to such problems) considering carefully the kind of
malfunction, referring to the paragraph 5.4.4 in this manual, which helps to find solution to some
anomalies.
According to the manufacturer statistics, based upon the repairs carried out by the Manufacturer’s
After Sales Service on the trolleys, the most frequent causes of malfunction are: breaks in the
power supply cable, breaks in the power supply plug or socket.
It is suggested checking that the power supply socket is in order, and in special way that the fuses
are not burned, before deciding that the trolley is out of service.

If there is the suspect that the malfunction is due to the power supply cable or the plug, read in
chapter 6 the procedure to check and replace them.

8.2 Main spare parts.

The tables in annex represent (in 3-D graphics) the main spare parts in the Unitray trolleys.
It is easy to identify the quantities for each trolley, the description of the spare part and the part code
