SD Card
When you register the warranty of your Labcold refrigerator (UK customers only, available
for purchase elsewhere), you will be sent an SD card. Although it looks like a card you may
have in your camera, this SD card will only work with your Labcold fridge and using it for any
other purpose may render it unable to perform the data logging function.
Your Labcold refrigerator automatically records performance information such as door
openings, temperatures etc.The SD card allows you to extract this information and store
it on your computer and/or print hard copy. The information stored in the controller will
cover the last 13 months and is not deleted from the fridges memory when uploaded. It is
recommended that you do this on an annual basis (at least) and use a separate SD card. New
cards are available at a small cost from Labcold. Please e-mail sales@labcold.com.

When you insert your Labcold SD card in to the slot in the front of the controller the display
will show load. Pressing the conrm button will upload all data stored for up to 13 months
to the card. When this process has been completed the display will show done and the card
can be removed. The card can then be inserted in an SD reader, connected to any PC or Mac
and will download the data as a CSV le, a format compatible with Microsoft® Excel or other
spreadsheet applications. Full instructions will be sent with the card.

Min/Max Temperature Recording
The DH Green Book Chapter 3 recommends that: ‘temperatures in the refrigerator must be
monitored and recorded at least once each working day, and documented on a chart for
recording temperatures’.
Your Labcold pharmacy refrigerator records the maximum high and minimum low
temperatures when connected to mains electricity (if batteries are tted, it will record when
not connected). This information is stored until the fridge is reset.
This information can be accessed if you press the ‘Hi/Lo’ button and release. The display will
show Hi and then the highest temperature recorded since the last reset, then Lo and display
the lowest temperature.
Min/Max Temperature Reset
Once you have taken the temperatures for the day it is important that you reset the fridge.
This is because the refrigerator will always display the high and low temperature since the
last temperature reset. The refrigerator does not automatically reset.
To reset the minimum/maximum temperature press the ‘Hi/Lo’ button and hold. An alarm
will sound and the current high and low temperatures will be displayed as above. Keeping
your nger on the button, the display will then change to ash Hi Lo then revert to normal
operation. This means you have successfully reset the minimum/maximum temperature
display and the previous high and low temperatures have been deleted.
