Description
ABS PH-ABT-HC-UCFS-0430 Vaccine Freezer Undercounter
The Premier ABS PH-ABT-HC-UCFS-0430 Vaccine Freezer Undercounter features a microprocessor temperature controller and display, allow for precise temperature control, verification and recovery versus mechanical style thermostats. Critical samples and supplies are security backed with an extensive package of audible and visual alarms.
Periodic defrosting is required.
The Freestanding models (“UCFS”) 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.
The acceptable temperature ranges for vaccine storage are 36°F to 46°F (or 2°C to 8°C) in the refrigerator and -58°F to 5°F (or -50°C and -15°C) in the freezer.
Adjustable operating temperature range from -20°C to -30°C. Factory Preset at -30°C. See “View/Print Product Information” drop down for instructions.

Product FAQ
Is this freezer suitable for critical vaccine storage?
Yes. This is a Premier series unit engineered for professional pharmacy and laboratory use. It features a high-precision microprocessor temperature controller (operating -15°C to -25°C) that provides superior stability and rapid recovery compared to standard mechanical thermostats.
What are the temperature security features?
The freezer includes an alarm package with audible and visual high/low-temperature alerts, 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—to ensure accurate temperature reporting and sample integrity.
Are there specific installation requirements?
Yes. As a freestanding “UCFS” model, it requires at least 4 inches of clearance around the back and sides to ensure adequate ventilation. Proper airflow is essential for temperature maintenance and warranty compliance.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a standard two-year parts and labor warranty, plus an additional three-year compressor parts warranty for reliable, long-term operation in medical environments.
Shipping FAQ
How is this vaccine freezer shipped?
Due to the unit’s specialized electronics and internal cooling system, it is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized and crated to minimize movement and ensure it arrives in optimal condition.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility has a loading dock capable of receiving a large-scale transport vehicle, as this 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 compressor and ensure long-term cooling 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.
