Description
ABS PH-ABT-HC-RFC1040 Pharmacy Refrigerator Freezer
The Premier ABS PH-ABT-HC-RFC1040 Pharmacy Refrigerator Freezer Dual Temp Combination units feature separate microprocessor temperature controller allowing for precise temperature control, verification and recovery. An interior fan driven, forced-draft air circulation system provides excellent temperature uniformity and recovery after door openings. REFRIGERATORS ONLY
All models are equipped with digital temperature displays for convenient monitoring. Critical samples and supplies are security backed with an extensive package of audible and visual alarms. The freezer units feature either an automatic or manual defrost operating system. For manual defrost freezers, periodic manual defrosting is required.
This model requires 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.
The acceptable temperature ranges for vaccine storage are 36°F to 46°F (or 2°C and 8°C) in the refrigerator and -58°F and 5°F (or -50°C and -15°C) in freezers.
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
Why is the "Premier" series recommended for pharmacies?
The Premier series is specifically engineered for professional pharmacy and laboratory use. It features separate independent microprocessor temperature controllers for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, delivering precise temperature regulation, fast recovery, and strict compliance with medical standards.
What are the deep-freeze characteristics of this unit?
The freezer compartment is engineered for ultra-low and deep freeze applications reaching down to -40°F (-40°C), utilizing a manual defrost mechanism to ensure extreme thermal stability for sensitive biologicals and samples.
What temperature security features are included?
The unit includes independent audible and visual high/low-temperature alarms, a power failure alarm, sensor error monitoring, and remote alarm contacts. It uses dual probes—one in the air and one in a sample-simulated liquid bottle—for each section to ensure accurate, real-time thermal monitoring.
Are there specific installation requirements?
Yes. This unit requires at least 4 inches of clearance around the back and sides to ensure proper ventilation, prevent overheating, and maintain optimal cooling performance.
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 combination refrigerator/freezer shipped?
Due to the sensitive nature of the dual cooling systems and internal electronics, this unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to minimize 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 exterior panels, door seals, and the refrigeration housing for any signs of transit-related damage.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
To prevent damage to the compressors 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.
