IntelliCold® Controller
Before plugging in your
Labcold
refrigerator for the first time make sure the power cable is free
from damage and check that your voltage corresponds to that on the serial plate.
It is recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. Make sure
the power cable is not bent, pinched or compressed and that it can be easily accessed.
When you first plug your refrigerator in it will sound and all the icons/buttons will be illuminated.

Plug In and Switch On
Setting the Date and Time
This needs to be done as soon as the refrigerator is plugged in. Your fridge does not have a
GPRS/wireless connection, so this will need to be repeated if the refrigerator experiences a
power loss and no batteries are fitted. We recommend fitting batteries to the fridge so it will
alarm and record internal temperatures should it become disconnected from a mains power
source.
The time should NOT be changed when the clocks change to GMT or BST as this may
cause stored data loss.
To set the date you need to do the following:
The
I

C
old® controller fitted to the front of your refrigerator has been designed by
Labcold
for the safe storage of vaccines, medicines and laboratory products.
It is fitted with an exclusive touch controller that displays the temperature detected by two
temperature probes, one located in the back of the fridge and one you can position yourself
within the fridge.
Unlike other refrigerator controllers which have buttons you can press with your finger, this
one responds to the electrical current in your skin like a mobile phone or tablet. When you
place your hand over the controller it will reveal the various icons/buttons allowing you to
access different functions.
Like a mobile phone screen it may not work if you’re wearing gloves.
Where the instructions say ‘touch’ this means tap the icon/button like you would an app
on your phone. ‘Hold’ means leave your finger on the icon/button. The controller sounds to
confirm it has registered your touch, again similar to a mobile.
