Key Features
-
Superior Temperature Stability: Maintains a maximum deviation of ±2°C from the set temperature, ensuring precise storage conditions for sensitive substances, tested to EN 60068-3 standards by measuring temperature at multiple points in the interior.
-
Fan-Assisted Cooling: Highly efficient fans provide uniform temperature distribution, cooling freshly stored items quickly and maintaining consistent conditions throughout the interior, ideal for critical laboratory storage.
-
Vertical LED Lighting: Energy-efficient LED lighting illuminates the entire interior, providing clear visibility of stored products, allowing quick access, and minimizing temperature fluctuations by reducing door-open time.
-
Energy Efficiency: Consumes 171 kWh/year (0.468 kWh/24h) using eco-friendly R600a refrigerant and high-efficiency compressors, reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
-
Hygienic Design: Seamless, one-piece polystyrene inner liner is robust, odorless, and fully recyclable, with large corner radii for easy cleaning, meeting ISO EN 14644-1 Class 4 cleanroom standards.
-
Advanced Monitoring: 2.4″ touch-screen controller with touch & swipe color display, integrated data logger with USB interface, min./max. temperature log (up to 42 days), and HACCP-compliant documentation; integrated WiFi/LAN interface for SmartMonitoring, enabling cloud-based temperature monitoring and alarms.
-
Safety and Security: Features a mechanical lock with two keys, visual/audible alarms, +2°C SafetyDevice to stabilize temperature and prevent freezing during malfunctions, volt-free alarm contact, power failure alarm with 12-hour battery backup, and an antimicrobial handle reducing bacteria by up to 99.99%.
-
Flexible Configuration: Reversible door hinges (factory-set to right), 5 adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves (60kg load each) with anti-tilt protection, and a Ø10mm feedthrough for external sensors for enhanced installation flexibility.
