Description
ABS CRT-ABT-HC-10PS Controlled Room Temperature Cabinets
The Compact ABS CRT-ABT-HC-10PS Controlled Room Temperature Cabinets 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 ambient temperature range (68°F to 77°F or 20°C to 25°C). It is ideal for storing room-temperature medications, vaccines, and reagents that must be protected from external environmental fluctuations.
What are the advantages of the solid door design?
The insulated solid swing door provides maximum privacy, secure containment with a built-in keyed lock, and superior thermal retention compared to glass door configurations.
What temperature security features are included?
The unit features a microprocessor temperature controller, digital display, and a comprehensive monitoring package with audible and visual high/low-temperature alerts, sensor error monitoring, and remote alarm contacts. It utilizes dual probes—one in the air and one in a sample-simulated liquid bottle—along with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate.
Are there specific installation requirements?
Yes. This freestanding model requires at least 4 inches of clearance around the back and sides to ensure proper ventilation, prevent overheating, and maintain internal temperature uniformity.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a standard two-year parts and labor warranty, plus an additional three-year compressor parts warranty for long-term operational reliability.
Shipping FAQ
How is this controlled room temperature cabinet shipped?
Due to the sensitivity of the internal cooling system and electronics, this unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to minimize movement and ensure optimal condition upon arrival.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility features a professional loading dock capable of receiving an 18-wheeler, as the unit must be safely lowered to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Before signing the delivery receipt, you must perform a thorough inspection of the exterior panels, solid door, seals, and refrigeration housing for any transit-related damage.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
To prevent compressor damage and ensure stable ambient temperature regulation, 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.
