Silko Id

What does Silko Id mean?

Id is the micro port input (door) HACCP alarm on Silko refrigerated units. It is recorded when the door micro-switch input signals an open-door condition. As a HACCP entry it stores the maximum chamber temperature reached during this type of alarm, so it captures any temperature rise that occurred while the door was open. The instrument keeps up to three HACCP alarms with their critical values and durations.

Symptoms

• "id" is stored as a HACCP alarm with the HACCP LED indicating a saved alarm.
• The recorded critical value is the maximum chamber temperature reached during the event.
• The door was open long enough to trigger the input alarm.
• The alarm duration is logged with the record.

Common causes

• Door or drawer left open or opened too frequently.
• Door not closing fully due to a worn or misaligned gasket.
• Obstruction preventing the door from sealing.
• Faulty door micro-switch reporting the door as open.

Diagnostic steps

1. 01

   Review the HACCP record

   Press SET to read the stored id alarm details, including the maximum temperature reached and the duration of the open-door event.

2. 02

   Close and check the door

   Ensure the door is closed fully and pay attention to how often it is opened, which the manual lists as a temperature cause.

3. 03

   Inspect the gasket and alignment

   Check the door gasket seals correctly and the door is aligned so the micro-switch registers a closed door.

4. 04

   Verify the door switch

   If the alarm logs with the door shut, the door micro-switch may be faulty and should be tested.

5. 05

   Assess product safety

   Use the recorded critical value to judge whether the temperature rise during the open-door event affected stored product.

When to call a professional

Closing the door and improving handling habits resolve most door-input alarms. Gasket replacement or a faulty micro-switch needs a qualified technician, particularly if id is logged while the door is fully closed. Have any switch or door-hardware work done with the appliance disconnected from power.
