Thermometer/Alarm
Every MED2 unit is equipped with a NIST calibrated Thermometer/Alarm that
simultaneously displays minimum, maximum, and current interior temperatures and
provides a visual and audible signal when the temperature inside the unit falls outside
the set temperature range.
NOTE ABOUT CALIBRATION: All MED2 units ship with a two-year certificate of
calibration in the alarm/thermometer box that comes inside your unit. Keep this
certificate stored safely for your records. Accucold offers re-calibration services
through their ISO 17025:2005 certified calibration laboratory. It is recommended to
have your probe re-calibrated every two years (or one year, depending on your state’s
health department guidelines). For more information on how to have your device re-
calibrated, contact us at [e-mail].
The temperature sensor, or probe, is enclosed in a glycol-filled bottle that is stored
inside your unit in a special shelving compartment.
In some units, the center shelf is fixed in place and
cannot be removed (see image). This is because the
glycol-filled bottle that contains the temperature
sensors for your alarm and thermometer is best
stored in this location. The center of your refrigerator
or freezer will provide the most accurate
temperature readings. For proper temperature
monitoring, keep the bottles in place and do not
remove this shelf.
