Performance Series Controlled Room Temperature CabinetThe ARS32PVBIADA-CRT is a 2.83 cu. ft. upright storage unit designed for stable room temperature medication storage. Pre-set to 72ºF, it offers an adjustable range from 68º to 77ºF and fits under ADA-compliant counters at just under 32” high. An external microprocessor controller reduces door openings, ensuring minimal temperature fluctuations. The buffered temperature probe in a glycol-filled bottle closely mimics stored product temperature for superior accuracy. Additional safety features include an audible and visual temperature alarm, power failure alert, and a self-closing, lockable door with a user-reversible swing. The interior boasts adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves, LED lighting, and durable powder-coated metal construction for longevity. Optimized forced air cooling maintains temperature uniformity, while a factory-installed antimicrobial handle enhances hygiene. Equipped with a hospital-grade power cord, this energy-efficient unit uses hydrocarbon refrigerant for reliable performance, even in ambient conditions from 68ºF to 86ºF.
