What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 1.8 cu ft (~51 L)
• External dimensions: Height ~63 cm, Width ~47 cm, Depth ~45 cm; door-open depth approx. 88 cm
• Temperature capability: around –20 °C (manual defrost design)
• Defrost type: Manual static cooling system
• Interior: Two wire shelves; one-piece interior liner for easy cleaning
• Security/monitoring: Factory-installed keyed lock, NIST-calibrated high/low temperature alarm, hospital-grade cord
• Electrical: 115 V AC / 60 Hz, approx. 0.8 A
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Keyed door lock for access control
– Audible high/low temperature alarm with NIST-calibrated read-out
– Magnetic door gasket and insulated cabinet for consistent conditions
– Flat interior liner and removable shelves for simplified sanitation
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for specimen rooms, nursing stations, satellite labs or small medical/storage facilities requiring compact frozen storage at approx. –20 °C. Not intended for ultra-low (≤ –80 °C) or large-volume freezer needs without further validation.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical lead time is approximately 3–5 business days when the unit is in stock.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance and GST
• Site access: ensure doorways or elevators allow approx. 47 cm width × 45 cm depth and front clearance ~88 cm for full door opening
• Electrical compatibility: The standard model uses 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia (230 V / 50 Hz) select the correct export variant or install a certified step-down transformer by a licensed electrician
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
Ships boxed and palletized; unpacked footprint approx. 63 cm H × 47 cm W × 45 cm D; door-open depth ~88 cm. Ensure the delivery path is level, firm and clear of obstructions from the vehicle to the installation site.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
On delivery, inspect the outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any issues, retain packaging and delivery receipt, then contact your supplier with order details to initiate a freight claim or arrange replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the FS30LMED?
1. Place the unit upright on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled room; allow ventilation clearance behind and above and approx. 88 cm front clearance for full door swing.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching your region’s voltage specification.
3. Power the unit, set the thermostat to approximately –20 °C (or manufacturer-specified freezer range), and allow 2–4 hours for temperature stabilization before loading sensitive contents.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Load items on the wire shelves with adequate spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing to maintain uniform cooling.
• Label stored contents (batch number, date/time) and implement first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation if required.
• Minimize door-open duration; use monitoring display rather than frequent internal access.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; ensure unit remains level and interior surfaces are clean and frost-free.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature rises above or falls below the expected range (~–20 °C) or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature deviation and impacted contents.
• Transfer critical materials to validated backup freezer until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate the root cause (door left open, ambient load surge, power/sensor fault).
• Once stable, verify stored contents for integrity before resuming standard use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/lock, and check unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify thermometer, alarm and probe-port functions.
• Periodically: Review any logged temperature data (if monitoring enabled), verify calibration of monitoring equipment, and keep documented service/maintenance records for compliance.
