Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the temperature range of the ARS8PV?

A: The ARS8PV maintains a temperature range of 2°C to 8°C (35.6°F to 46.4°F), in compliance with CDC guidelines for vaccine storage.

Q: What is the storage capacity of the ARS8PV?

A: This unit provides a total storage capacity of 8.0 cubic feet (227 liters).

Q: Is the door reversible?

A: Yes, the door is user-reversible, allowing you to change the swing direction to best fit your space. When configured for a right-hand swing, the door is also self-closing.

Q: Does the ARS8PV have built-in alarms?

A: Yes, it features multiple alarm systems for enhanced safety:

• Temperature Alarm: Alerts you visually and audibly if the interior temperature goes outside the safe range.
• Power Failure Alarm: Battery-powered alarm activates if the power supply is disrupted.
• Open-Door Alarm: Sounds if the door remains open for more than four minutes (adjustable).
• Sensor Failure Alarm: Notifies you if there is a disruption with the temperature sensor.

Q: How do I reset the power failure alarm?

A: Once power is restored, simply move the “Reset Switch” on the front of the unit to the down position to silence the alarm.

Q: Where should vaccines be stored inside the ARS8PV?

A: For best temperature stability, store vaccines in the center of the unit, a few inches away from the back wall. Avoid placing them on the top shelf, near air vents, or in the door shelves, where temperatures may fluctuate more.

Q: Why might temperature readings from a monitoring device differ from the ARS8PV’s display?

A: Differences may occur if the monitoring probe is not properly buffered. For accurate readings, place the probe in the center of the unit inside a glycol-filled bottle. This simulates the temperature of the stored contents and reduces false alarms.

Q: What kind of warranty does the ARS8PV come with?

A: The unit includes a 2-year parts and labor warranty and a 5-year warranty on the compressor.
