Here are common questions and answers about this product

Gelu is on every product pageJust ask a question, anytime
What temperature range does the PH-ABT-VS-23G maintain?

The unit maintains 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F), with ±1.5°C maximum cabinet air variation and ±0.3°C stability using the simulator probe. It is calibrated using a NIST traceable device, and a certificate is included.

Temp Controller tab
What refrigerant and compressor does this unit use?

It uses a hermetic, variable speed compressor with EPA SNAP compliant R600a Isobutane, a hydrocarbon natural refrigerant. Defrost is cycle defrost.

Performance tab
How much clearance does the refrigerator need for installation?

A minimum of 2" of clearance is required around the back and sides for proper ventilation, and more if it is next to heat rejecting equipment. Improper installation will void the warranty and lead to temperature maintenance issues, overheating, and possible failure.

Temp Controller tab
What electrical supply does the PH-ABT-VS-23G require?

It requires 110–120V AC with a 15A breaker and a NEMA 5-15 receptacle. The unit is rated at 3 Amps and ships with a NEMA 5-15 plug and vaccine storage power cord warning label.

Description tab
What alarms are included on the controller?

The microprocessor controller provides audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, a sensor error alarm, a power failure alarm, and a door ajar alarm. Remote alarm contacts are also provided for connection to a facility monitoring system, and battery backup supports the temperature display and alarms only (no cooling).

Temp Controller tab
What warranty coverage comes with the PH-ABT-VS-23G?

The unit carries a two (2) year parts and labor warranty and a seven (7) year compressor warranty.

Description tab
What is a Variable Speed Compressor (VSC)?

A variable speed compressor (VSC) self-adjusts to cooling demand instead of running at one fixed speed, giving greater efficiency and more cost savings than a traditional fixed-speed model. On this unit it works alongside the microprocessor temperature controller, which provides the precise temperature control.
