Performance Series Controlled Room Temperature CabinetThe ARGSPV-CRTLHD is a 1.94 cu.ft. countertop unit designed for stable room temperature storage, preset to 72ºF with an adjustable range of 68º to 77ºF. Its microprocessor temperature controller is externally located to minimize door openings, ensuring product protection. A buffered temperature probe in a glycol-filled bottle simulates stored contents, while an additional sensor monitors air temperature for superior control. Audible and visual alarms alert users to temperature deviations, power failure, door open, or sensor issues. The unit features remote alarm contacts, a 1/2" probe port, and a hospital-grade cord for safety. Inside, cycle defrost prevents temperature spikes, while forced air cooling with an internal fan maintains stability. Adjustable wire shelves accommodate various items, and LED lighting provides visibility. A factory-installed lock with two keys ensures security, and a self-closing door enhances convenience. Designed with hydrocarbon refrigerant, this unit offers energy-efficient operation in environments ranging from 68ºF to 86ºF.
