Key Features

• ATEX 95 Spark-Free Interior: Ensures safe storage of explosive and highly flammable substances in closed containers, compliant with EU Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX 95).

• Precise Temperature Stability: Maintains maximum temperature consistency with minimal deviation, tested to EN 60068-3 standards by measuring temperature at nine points in the interior, ideal for storing sensitive and volatile materials.

• Fan-Assisted Cooling: Forced-air cooling system with high-efficiency fans cools freshly stored items rapidly and maintains uniform temperature distribution throughout the interior, enhancing reliability for critical laboratory storage.

• Energy Efficiency: Consumes 315 kWh/year (0.863 kWh/24h) using eco-friendly R600a refrigerant and high-efficiency compressors, reducing operating costs and environmental impact with low global warming potential.

• Hygienic Design: Commercial-grade, molded polystyrol inner liner is robust, odorless, and easy to clean with coved corners, meeting ISO EN 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom standards for laboratory hygiene.

• Advanced Monitoring: Comfort controller with digital LED 7-segment display, integrated data logger with min./max. temperature log, and HACCP-compliant AlarmLog 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, door open (>1 minute), power failure, and sensor defects, volt-free alarm contact for external systems, +2°C safety thermostat to prevent freezing, digital keypad lock with PIN code, and a fitted door lock to prevent unauthorized access.

• Flexible Configuration: Reversible door hinges (factory-set to right), 3 adjustable glass shelves (40kg load each), and a Ø10mm access port for external temperature probes; suitable for under-worktop installation with ventilation grille (200 cm² minimum) or 860mm niche height.

• User-Friendly Controls: Flush-mounted Comfort controller with an easy-clean membrane keypad, alarm test function to verify alarm systems without affecting refrigeration, and clear operating status symbols for intuitive operation; supports connection of up to 20 appliances via serial bus interface for networked monitoring.

• Low Maintenance: Operates without filters, with automatic defrost and replaceable plug-in door seals; self-closing door enhances convenience; requires only regular cleaning and calibration; operates quietly at 47 dB(A).
