Key Features
-
DIN 13277 Compliance: Meets stringent requirements for pharmaceutical storage, maintaining a fixed +5°C temperature, ensuring safe storage of vaccines and medications, tested to EN 60068-3 standards.
-
Fan-Assisted Cooling: Forced-air cooling system with efficient fans cools freshly stored items rapidly and maintains uniform temperature distribution throughout the interior, enhancing reliability for sensitive pharmaceuticals.
-
Glass Door with LED Lighting: Insulated glass door with energy-efficient LED lighting evenly illuminates the interior, providing a clear overview of contents for quick access without compromising temperature stability; lighting can be switched off if needed.
-
Energy Efficiency: Consumes 408 kWh/year (1.117 kWh/24h) using eco-friendly R600a refrigerant and high-efficiency compressors, minimizing operating costs and environmental impact.
-
Hygienic Design: Commercial-grade molded polystyrol inner liner is robust, odorless, and easy to clean with rounded corners.
-
Advanced Monitoring: Comfort controller with digital LED display, min./max. temperature log, and HACCP-compliant Alarm Log for the last three temperature alarms and power failures; optional SmartMonitoring via RS 485 interface (requires SmartCoolingHub) for cloud-based monitoring.
-
Safety and Security: Features visual/audible alarms for temperature deviations, volt-free alarm contact for external systems, +2°C safety thermostat to prevent freezing, and a lockable door to prevent unauthorized access.
-
Flexible Configuration: Reversible door hinges (factory-set to right), 3 adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves (45kg load each) or optional drawer system (H63 variant, 25kg per drawer) for optimal item overview, and an access port for external temperature probes; suitable for under-worktop installation with ventilation grille (200 cm² minimum) or 860mm niche height.
