Accucold - 6 Cu.Ft. Upright Controlled Room Temperature Cabinet, ADA Height - ARG61PVBIADA-CRT
The ARG61PVBIADA-CRT is a 6 cu.ft. upright storage unit designed for medications requiring a stable room temperature. It is pre-set to 72ºF with an adjustable range from 68º to 77ºF, ensuring compliance with ADA height guidelines. The microprocessor temperature controller is externally located to minimize door openings, protecting stored contents. A buffered temperature probe encased in a glycol-filled bottle ensures precise readings, while a second sensor monitors air temperature. Audible and visual alarms alert users to temperature deviations, power failures, open doors, or sensor malfunctions. Inside, adjustable cycle defrost operation prevents temperature spikes, and an internal fan maintains uniform cooling. The white powder-coated metal interior includes adjustable wire shelves and LED lighting. A factory-installed antimicrobial handle with silver ions helps reduce germ spread. The double-pane tempered glass door has a self-closing function and a factory-installed lock with two keys. Remote alarm contacts and a probe port allow for additional monitoring.
