Description
ABS CRT-ABT-HC-10PG Controlled Room Temperature Cabinet
The Compact ABS CRT-ABT-HC-10PG Controlled Room Temperature Cabinet are purpose built for medical applications. These units feature a digital microprocessor temperature controller allowing for the precise temperature management necessary for medication storage at room temperature. A forced air directional refrigeration system provides superior temperature uniformity and recovery after door openings.
A controlled temperature environment will ensure approved storage; preventing time wasted on unnecessary expense and product recalls.
Freestanding models require 4” of clearance around back and sides of the unit for proper ventilation. Improper installation will void the warranty and will lead to temperature maintenance issues, overheating and possible failure.
Environmentally friendly, natural hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants (not containing hydrofluorocarbons) vastly reduce global-warming potential (GWP) while meeting new EPA/SNAP mandates and UL, ASHRAE compliance guidelines.

Product FAQ
What is a Controlled Room Temperature (CRT) cabinet used for?
A CRT cabinet is purpose-built to maintain a precise, controlled ambient temperature range (typically 68°F to 77°F or 20°C to 25°C). It is essential for storing medications, room-temperature vaccines, and sensitive medical supplies that must be protected from extreme environmental fluctuations without requiring standard cold storage.
What are the advantages of the glass door design?
The high-visibility glass door allows staff to conduct rapid visual inventory checks without opening the unit, minimizing thermal air exchange and preserving interior temperature uniformity.
What temperature security features are included?
The unit features a digital microprocessor controller, a digital display, and a comprehensive alarm package including audible and visual high/low-temperature alerts, sensor error warnings, and remote alarm contacts. It utilizes dual probes—one in the air and one in a sample-simulated liquid bottle—to ensure strict compliance.
Are there specific installation requirements?
Yes. Because this is a freestanding model, it requires at least 4 inches of clearance around the back and sides to ensure proper ventilation, prevent overheating, and maintain stable ambient temperatures.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a standard two-year parts and labor warranty, plus an additional three-year compressor parts warranty to ensure reliable, long-term operation.
Shipping FAQ
How is this controlled room temperature cabinet shipped?
Due to the sensitive nature of the electronics and internal cooling system, this unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to minimize transit movement and ensure safe arrival.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility has a professional loading dock capable of receiving an 18-wheeler, as the unit must be carefully lowered to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Before signing the delivery receipt, you must perform a comprehensive inspection of the unit, specifically focusing on the glass door, exterior panels, door seals, and refrigeration housing for any signs of transit-related damage.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
To prevent damage to the compressor and ensure long-term stability, you must allow the unit to sit upright in its final installation location for at least 24 hours to let all fluids settle before powering it on.
